My husband had the same shit go on in his last job, Seven years in well paid hell, with a write-up and forced therapy(what's bothering me? I hate my fucking job!) So a month later he quits, we relocate and now he loves his new job, new town and life is good. My point is that things will get better

I really want to post it outside my cube but they would definitely write me up for that.

Just a point of order, Undertoad. Please remember that the Human Resources department works for the benefit of the company. They manage the resources of the *company* of type Human. Not unlike the shipping department handles boxes in and out and the facilities management handles the air conditioning and desks and chairs. Each department has an aspect of the company's interests to deal with. One of those interests is "Humans".

Don't be mislead that they're there for your benefit, despite the fact that they might work with benefits. It's an easy and common mistake, one I've made more than once. I offer you the chance to learn from *my* mistake, and remain alert to the fundamental loyalties of the company department members.

8 X 10s. I can now get the 5 X 7s to work, but 5 X 7 is so small. When it gets about 3/4 of the way through printing, it doesn't feed the photo paper through fast enough so it squishes the rest of the image into a thick black line and when it is "done" it acts like it is spitting out the print, but instead the print is stuck in the printer. I have to pull it out of the grips of the printer. Arg. 5 X 7s work because by the time it is done printing it, it hasn't gotten far enough to get "stuck."

Thank you.

Feeling powerless, I am now responding the only way I know how... I have posted the Official Written Warning outside my cube.

I normally post Achewoods and XKCDs and other such comics there for the people to enjoy.

Since it's "Confidential" they now have a Real reason to Warn me.

kerosene · 04-04-2008, 12:29 PM

Good for you, UT. Way to make a stand, brother.

Flint · 04-04-2008, 12:31 PM

Wait a second, don't they know who you are?

You're like the leader of Fight Club, or something; they don't even know who is sitting right there in their own office!

Shawnee123 · 04-04-2008, 12:56 PM

You rock UT.

What is upsetting me today? I don't know why, but every numnut dumbass who makes any kind inane insipid comment whatsoever makes me want to claw my eyes out, rip out my teeth, and dig into my brain until it rolls out of my skull and lands on the wet, wormy earth.

A bit grumpy.

Undertoad · 04-04-2008, 12:58 PM

Result: they threatened to fire me.

I took it down.

Shawnee123 · 04-04-2008, 12:59 PM

Well then, you better get back to those TPS reports and pronto!

Darnit UT, wish a good guy like you didn't have to deal with the nonsense.

LabRat · 04-04-2008, 01:10 PM

Maybe getting up at 2am to open my daughters crusted shut pinkeye has me fuzzy, but I'm confused.

You made a legit comment about the group dynamic, to which they said "If you don't have any ideas how to fix it, neither do we, so deal", then made an official warning to YOU document to put in your file? WTF were they warning you about?

FWIW I'd have put it up too. It's YOUR file.

Undertoad · 04-04-2008, 01:21 PM

They did have an idea on how to fix it, which consisted of a "mediation" where they brought us both in and we said nice things about each other until we were happy again. This was successful, but it still bothered me that I somehow got an official Written Warning out of it, so I posted it. My boss's boss called me in and basically told me if I wanted out of the company he would take care of that immediately. And that I was being a baby about it and that if I had a problem with it I should see our HR person. I agreed and left his office with my tail between my legs.

Shawnee123 · 04-04-2008, 01:23 PM

Nice. I see they "value people" too.
