Middle men
I report to a manager, who reports to another manager, who reports to a director, who reports to a vice president, who reports to the president. What’s with all these middle men? They do nothing all day but sit around and try to think of things to do and how to make the numbers on their reports look prettier. I say we cut out all the middle men and let me report straight to the president. Maybe then we could get something accomplished.
In other news, they have informed me that my hours are changing again. They just haven’t bothered with the little details like when my hours are changing. I’ll officially be working ten hour days, and officially have three days off per week. In reality, I’ll probably work 12 hour days and bring enough work home with me to keep me busy on my days off.
The employee reviews were handed back to me for more revisions. This makes three times now that I have written the frickin’ things. I brought them home with me tonight and just finished them a few minutes ago. I absolutely refuse to write them again. Let one of the middle men do it. Heaven knows they’ve got nothing else to do.
