Well, no. Actually, it was shortly after Benjamin Franklin invented daylight saving time. They didn't even have Huggies then.

Can I assume Dilbert is blocked?

Humor does not belong in the workplace.

If you are a person and not a number at your job consider yourself lucky.

I am luckily still a person. An overworked, underpaid person, but a person nonetheless.

It's what has kept me here.

My boss lets me surf the web. She does it too. No porn though.

At what point does a boss learn what the employee is getting done rather than micromanage his time? What amazes me is how many bosses have no idea which employees are accomplishing anything and which are not. How does a boss work for his employees if he does not even know what they do or accomplish?

The evil corporate masters which I serve are also served by my boss. We have zero local control of anything, essentially. Oh, wait...that's not true. My boss got to decide which 50% of my staff was getting laid off today.

Sundae · 03-23-2007, 07:03 AM

In all the time I have worked, I have never once been asked to evaluate my manager, or give any opinion on their managerial abilities or style.

And yet every manager I have had has been appraised on this by their manager. It has formed a Key Result Area for which they receive bonuses or which affects pay increases.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Sorry to hear about the redundancies in your company Els. Glad you're safe. At least I assume you're safe?!

After you left, I bet they were all like "Hey, we're out of toilet paper! Where's the toilet paper?"
