"Hire that man!"
Posted on 05/14/2012 1:57:42 PM PDT by CGASMIA68
Have a part time job quiting tomorrow because the HR manager inserted language into my yearly review that my manager didnt pen.Before I leave I want to send a scathing email from home to the entire buisness outlining what has transpired over the past 5 years and pretty much denegrate the executive team for hipocrcy. Not sure if they can come back at me legally. Any legal types out there I can private email this to for a critique?
Although it may seem like a great idea now, is it something you would want your prospective employers to read?
This is not legal advice, but...
I’d first bring the “addendum” on the review to my boss’s attention, and see if he has any problem with HR “editing” his work. If so, let him take it up with the “editors”.
If not, I’d go to HR and request that they remove the “editor’s comments” from my official review, and write up their own separate review if they have anything to say that they’d like to append their names to.
This is all just a bit too sloppy. But if that’s the way the company is run in general, I wouldn’t send a memo to everyone, I’d simply say “goodbye and good riddance.”
I would advise against sending this.
At some time, you may need a reference. Don’t flame a bridge - what do you hope to gain? I mean, do you think your email from home will cause corrupt Managment to quit their jobs, sell their homes and flee to Afghanistan?
Someday, some job will ask you if you performed ‘x’, and you’ll be asked to show where you did this, and who you did this with. They will want to know why you left your old job.
I don’t see this as aiding your cause in any meaningful way, and coming back to bite you later on down the road.
Sometimes it’s best to simply leave the company, and keep your mouth shut.
Are you SURE you’re ready to burn that bridge? 5 years is a pretty big hole when looking at someone’s work history/resume, ect. You might want to use them for a reference.
"Hire that man!"
Make sure to make better use of spell check in any message you send.
By the way, there are designated channels for this sort of complaint.
I’ve seen plenty of these “memo-to-the-world” exits, and none have helped the author.
One complained about the exploitation of H1B subcontractors from India. It was all sad AND true. But nothing changed except the authors employment status.
You assume these people have a conscience. They don’t. Don’t give them evidence they can use to ruin your working future.
Biblical advise:
Romans 12:
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e]
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Keep your mouth shut and your fingers off the keyboard. You should be the better person and not dive to their level. Also, things have a tendency to rebound and you do not want that to happen.
Nobody on Earth may know you took the higher ground but God will know and that is the most important thing.
So, always watch your back ~ TOTALLY.
You could make a really serious error in considering either your boss or the personnel guy to be normal human beings. Think about it, how did they get those jobs? Are there any employees there who ever mysteriously disappeared off the face of the planet?

Just keep that in mind ~
Better to be thought a fool that open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Write all you want. Do not send anything. In this digital age you never know when it can come back and bite you in the ass.
If they see that you can’t spell “hypocrisy” properly, they’ll probably just laugh behind your back and think “thank god we didn’t keep that moron around.”
Do it on Facebook. Nobody will ever look there.
If things were that bad, you should have kept a dated, bound journal documenting incidents, names, etc. That would add more credibility to your complaints, and they are usually admissible in court if needed.
I usually don camo and eye black, hide on the hill near the plant and generously strafe the whole 7-am-3-pm shift change until the helicopter snipers get a bead on me. Most times, I get out within six months with a whole s***load of Thorazine and then I party with the strippers at Skinny Dick’s Halfway Inn all night.
A leave-work opus is an amazingly stupid idea.
Just move on.
