I am officially sick and rough ridin' tired of the fat eff that I report to and there is no reprieve in sight... Yet.
:curse:

The guy I report to is 1700 miles away. It's great.

My old boss was in Denmark. I miss him. :cry:

quit? :dunno:
-
My boss is in the Bahamas and sent me a picture of him deep sea fishing :chainsaw: :chainsaw: :curse: :curse: :curse:
I guess I'll have to send him pictures of Tom Petty and Paul McCartney when I'm at Bonnaroo

My boss encourages me to drink more and play more golf? :dunno: Maybe belongs in first world problems thread.

quit? :dunno:
This move is imminent. Close to securing a new gig, but can't cut off the cash flow just yet.
-
Although my boss and co-workers have me contemplating going postal on a daily basis, things continue to move forward with a nice gig at a Fortune 500 company with a new SaaS product...

Grats BP! Good luck! :emawkid:

Alrighty, guise.... Leaving work a bit early, heading out the door now to go to what is likely the final/deciding interview for the kick-ass new gig.
Wish me luck in the name of EMAW.
:pray:

good luck man, new jobs suck!
-
My boss had a bunch of the employees in his department and the cool ones from other departments to drink beer and tequila for taco Tuesday. T's and P's BP, good luck!
-
Good luck, BP.

Thanks for the well wishes, bros... All seems to be right in the world thus far. More interviews to come, though. It seems that maybe they're seeing more value in me than the position I originally was recruited for and I will have more interviews for an even higher level gig.
I'm pretty stoked about it still and now hoping they don't come back with "we didn't choose you for the director role, but you're over qualified for the sales mgmt role we initially discussed". I'll keep y'all updated as things progress.

UPDATE:
Just left a meeting with the VP overseeing the new division at the company I've been interviewing with and he assured me that I'll have an offer by Wednesday or so of next week... Now it's just a matter of him deciding what role he wants me in and us working out the financials.
All the thoughts and well wishes are greatly appreciated. Life is about to take a turn for the better.

Where are your offices now? I'm in Richardson for the time being.

Ugh.... What a beating of a drive from Little Elm. No wonder you are wanting to move offices up north a bit.

A definite beating. Being on the 35th floor of huge skyscraper has been cool but I am ready to shorten my commute. Our campus in Plano is very very nice.

Love the people in my office I work with. Hate the contractors I work with. General contractors are very good at knowing everything under the sun in one breath, then being completely unaware and unknowledgable when their ass is on the line.

I'm still searching for another place of employment.
I have an employee on vacation this week. He's a pain in the ass, so it's nice that he is gone. However, I am the only one qualified to do the majority of his work, so I have had a pretty shitty week. It doesn't help that my counterpart, the other supervisor (who really should be my subordinate), is a lazy, unmotivated fuckface.

Hang in there, bruh... I know that feeling all to well, and it's not pleasant at all.
I just have to get through one more hour today that involves a shitty weekly meeting that almost drains the life completely out of me, then I'm off to my final interview where I have been told to expect an offer from by middle of next week.
Going through the motions where I'm at now is getting harder by the hour.

Got the call this morning... Job is mine!! Nice lil $25k bump in base salary, fully bennies, etc., etc.

Thanks, young blood...
My start date is scheduled for July 10 and these last 3 weeks at my current job are easily going to be the longest, most painful period of my entire life. Fortunately, I've got a 5 day trip to Cabo planned for July 2-6 to keep my mind off of the hell I currently live within.

With a start date of July 9 for my new job, my letter of resignation letter already typed, printed and dated June 21, and nothing really left to accomplish at my current job due to very lengthy sales cycles, I can already tell that this week is likely to be one of the longest weeks of my life...

Most sales jobs will walk you as soon as you give notice... However, I'm not real sure what to expect here. They may let me go once I give my notice, but then again they may expect me to stick around and help "transition" my accounts and opportunities.
If I didn't want/need the commission income that I'd lose by not waiting until Friday, I would have already dropped the bomb.

if they escort you out, they should continue to pay your through your resignation date. if they don't then you are no different than your current situation.

You're on the right track, but I have a contract coming in the first week of July barring any crazy unforeseen circumstances and I need to still be "employed" here to get paid on it... I've actually thought all this out. Believe this: If I didn't really need to be here, I wouldn't be.

so today i said something slightly negative about a client in an email to a coworker. and i do mean slightly, not a huge insult or anything like that but not something i would want them to see.
the mother rough rider replies to the email and adds the people from the client-side on the email, with my comment there for the world to see. what do you know, they mention it in the conference call that takes place an hour later. eff that coworker.

See if they always lock all their doors, in the parking lot, if not leave something that will smell like homeless feet under one of their seats all day in the sun. That or just go up to them and give them the business about the double-strike

My company makes salad dressing for a certain restaurant in Kansas City. The chef has been complaining it's not thick enough. I showed him the different measurements we use to measure thickness/consistancy and that the numbers are matching up with what they want. He just looks at me and says "I don't care, it's still too thin"
:facepalm:

Dumb ass co-worker. However, you have now learned that there is no room for anything in an email that you would not share with everyone, unless you are sending it to your attorney, marked 'ATTORNEY/CLIENT PRIVILEGED' (which, I guess doesn't really mean crap, but at least you can argue that nobody else was supposed to see it...TRIM, can I get a ruling?)

'blast, next time the same dick coworker sends you an email, reply to him and add his boss to the email, then scroll down to the body of the original email and add some minor inflammatory stuff about the boss and hit send.

This is why you should always treat every email like it's a public document. That and because the government is reading them.

oh totally. it's ok because it wasn't a direct insult to the client, it was just a comment that made it sound like i was annoyed with them. and the coworker didn't really do it on purpose he probably just overlooked it. still a "what the eff, man" moment though.

So design of this one widget has taken waaay too long. Towards the end we make some changes (I'm the PM, not the engineer). Now we're cutting prototypes and I notice a design change didn't get implemented. Engineer says Catia crap the bed and we're another week behind. FML.

About 8 years ago I was sending an email to my boss about this chick that sat near near me. She wore this god awful perfume and it gave me a huge headache everyday. I begged with my boss to move her or demand that she stop wearing it. I went on to say some other distasteful things about this person. I didn't send it to my boss though, it went to her. She jumped up and scolded me and I just sat there mouth agape feeling like the worst person since Oak Park Mall was invented. She was fired a few weeks later so whatevs.

Yeah. I usually just pick up the phone and humor them, though.

I envy all you guys. Sometimes I wish I could go complain to HR when my boss calls me a stupid mother rough rider*, but I just have to sit there and take it.
*I'm not a stupid mother rough rider, my boss is quite possibly the worst manager of people in the entire world. which, causes him to be the angriest boss in the entire world because he fucks up so much.
