Everything you have written is so very intriguing and wants me to read even more. Thank you very much for sharing that link with me. <BR/><BR/>So there I was last night... logging in around 9:30'ish to work on a presentation due at 9:30 the next morning (today). Got the skeleton done and had to just put on the 'meat' when I go to your blog I had book marked earlier, just to check what you had posted that day. It was 2am and I am still reading thru all the posts, admittedly by this time skipping and jumping all over the timeline. Really impressed with your articles on Bhutto and Musharraf and all your train experiences and words of the day and everything else. Forced myself to turn the laptop off, promising myself to log back in over the weekend to go over the remaining. <BR/><BR/>Woke up brain dead around 5am to finish off the presentation. Still not sure what I put in there with a few minutes to go until bosses and their ‘servants’ gather in the room to stare at my tired self… and here I am wondering… is it really true that people actually choose to ‘reduce’? Is ‘reduction’ even a medically possible option? Is it really that common? I had always thought it was the other way around. Oh well… I see myself staring at them today wondering if that new (to me) option was applied or not. OMG!!!! IT IS MTG TIME!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-50508522974135916212008-02-15T09:30:00.000-06:002008-02-15T09:30:00.000-06:00Surprised to hear that ppl like this still exist i...Surprised to hear that ppl like this still exist in corporate America. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear that you have to deal with this.<BR/><BR/>From my past experiences, had a simlar situation twice in 15 years. Both times, I stopped them there and then highlighting where they are wrong... boss or not. <BR/>Basically... if you let them do this to you, they will keep doing it.<BR/><BR/>I got back at them right away and life was peaceful after that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-77348520968907743972008-02-14T23:04:00.000-06:002008-02-14T23:04:00.000-06:00Thank you for all the great comments.

This, from a man who has not managed his company or taken responsibility for anything over the past year and expects me to clean up the financial and managerial messes. Oh, and handle marketing too. Three people asked me today "Are you coming back tomorrow?" and I honestly didn't know how to respond. The thing that really gets me is he seems to enjoy berating people publicly.Hedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940638535923331779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-15177971573240658622008-02-14T20:00:00.000-06:002008-02-14T20:00:00.000-06:00You are being way to kind by calling him Turd.

Screamers hate silence and will fill the void.<BR/><BR/>"Well?"<BR/><BR/>"Well what? You were yelling. Do you want to go back to what we were talking about?" Then move right back into whatever it was before the outburst. They almost never erupt, it's too embarrassing, even to them.<BR/><BR/>They also learn, without anything said, that screaming doesn't "work" with you and they back off.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-58334380862935690702008-02-14T19:51:00.000-06:002008-02-14T19:51:00.000-06:00Everyone one of us works for some sort of c*ck suc...Everyone one of us works for some sort of c*ck sucker!<BR/>I have plenty of customers who are c*ck suckers too! <BR/><BR/>Let's use this as a financial learning experience. CS's were put on this earth, for all of us to learn how to save money. They make us realize that we need to save and save and save. Because, if you're fiscally responsible, and save as much as possible, and you now have plenty of cash in the bank,(I'm trying to save about 3 yrs of living expenses) you have set yourself up perfectly for your next engagement with a CS. <BR/>I'm preparing myself for this engagement...and let me tell ya...it's coming.<BR/>So, when Mr. C*ck Sucker starts cussin me out and telling me how much I suck, I'm just going to take a deep breath and then nicely tell him how nice my n*ts are going to look on the tip of his old lady's chin!...YOU D*CK!<BR/>Then I'll calmly shake everyone's hand at work and leave with a smile.<BR/>Finance 101 my friends!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-40620314215951321652008-02-14T18:51:00.000-06:002008-02-14T18:51:00.000-06:00Time to move on to a much more respectable place i...Time to move on to a much more respectable place it seems.

I don't know if you caught my post a month or so ago about a client who crossed <A HREF="http://posolxstvo1.blogspot.com/2007/12/line.html" REL="nofollow">the line</A>, but there was a situation with that client that I am reminded of when reading your misery.<BR/><BR/>My contact, M______'s, boss (L_____) was a generally mean person. She made no bones about being hostile to anyone, whenever she felt like it, without any apology. <BR/><BR/>One of my first meetings there as project manager, in which I was kicking the project off and trying to define who's job was which, etc., L_____ accused me of having too many people involved and wasting everyone's time. <BR/><BR/>The next meeting, she flipped out at me because I didn't have <I>enough</I> people and was making decisions without the right people at the table. <BR/><BR/>Another meeting, she started with a story about how she had screamed at someone she didn't know for "reading her paper." She didn't apologize -- simply explained why she did it and moved on. The person she had yelled at was another of her vendors.<BR/><BR/>As part of my client therapy sessions with M_____, she told me about all the times that she was screamed at by L_____ at the top of her lungs, loud enough that the whole office, and several others a floor above and below could hear.<BR/><BR/>Then one day I got a call from the Director of the Non-Profit. "Could you tell me about any times that L_____ acted in an unprofessional manner in your presence?" M_____ was on the call as well.<BR/><BR/>Awkward!<BR/><BR/>Being a vendor, I felt uncomfortable throwing her under the bus, but I told the truth.<BR/><BR/>In the end, L_____ lost her job. Karma rule number 1043, treat people like shit, it will come back on you.Posol'stvo the Medvedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573435137467134333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-13206289993159768782008-02-14T10:11:00.000-06:002008-02-14T10:11:00.000-06:00I worked with a TURD once - every day by 2:00 I wa...I worked with a TURD once - every day by 2:00 I was one giant red hive from head to toe - I hated EVERY minute of it - I told TURD I could no longer work with him.
