Either I attract the crazy companies, or they just find me. Maybe I really am an asshole. Who really knows.

Not that anyone cares about this, really, this is just to get off my chest.

Remember how I said I was starting a new job this week? Well, I was really excited. Turns out it was a short experiment, this one. I'm disapointed at how it ended, because like I said, I was excited. But it turns out that I was promised stuff that was not exactly delivered. Basically, they flat out lied to me in terms of my position, my benefits, and my future.

Maybe chalk it up to me not reading a contract carefully enough, maybe. Maybe I trusted a little too much, and went in a little naive. Or chalk it up to them being devious. Whatever. Doesn't matter.

Now, I'm not a guy who expects anyone to cater to them as soon as he joins a team. I enjoyed pretty much everyone I dealt with and worked with, I made a few friends outside of work, and I'd like to thank them.


Kim:
I got hired, by you and one other person, into a job with a title that had nothing to do with the job I was doing. Turns out you did the same to the rest of the crew. A bunch of 'em walked out when they found out, and you told us you fired them. Then we found out that they left on their own, and why. 2 others walk when we learn this.

The one girl who's stuck with you, she's been with you almost a year and she proved herself, and I'll readily admit, she was the best one there. She proved herself, and you had made her the same promises a year ago that you made me a month ago. She busts her ass and you cut her down. Without even considering the other people who left that you similarly boned with similar situations, for a guy coming in on those same rails, it didn't take me long to figure out how good a situation I was walking into.

For me and this other person, we actually showed up the next day. We talked, figured out that it might be advantagous to us to try to patch up the potholes that YOU put in the ground, we're actually ready to try to dig ourselves (and you) out of the funk that YOU left us in. You try to get me and the one other person nuts enough to come in the next day to pick up your mess like you don't think that now we know what's up, and you try to make us do it by yelling. By trying to get scary.

The day before, you we're tellng me how happy you we're to have me aboard. Now you're yelling at me for nothing. And the only thing that's changed between Point A and Point B was that I found out some facts. You know what, you lose 90% of your salespeople, which makes up about 60% of your entire team, you get a little stressed. I can apprecaite that. But you're going to compensate by yelling at the few people you have LEFT???

Sharp learning curve ahead. I was born at night, but not last night, baby. I got no clue the kind of people this type of thing would work on after losing that many people AND finding out you lied to all of us, and I can't speak for the other person, but I can speak for me.

I got news for you, lady. I'm 25 years old. I've got a diploma. I've almost got a degree. I've saved my money. I've got a wicked resume. I've got my references lined up like ducks in a row, and I never had a problem finding an interview.

You've already lied to me more than once, and the only thing I've got to be thankful for is that it only took me less than a week to figure it out. I've been here 4 days. If you think I'm gonna sit around here and listen to your BS because there may or may not be a nice job that you've promised to 16 other people in this company, you're off your rocker, ya frog.

So I walked. Another day, another dollar, another wall and another tower. If I'm an asshole, fine. But if I'm comparing the guy walking to a broad whose lost 9 out of 10 salespeople in the last 48 hours, I'd say the law of averages would take my side.

Now you're telling everyone that you fired me. Well coming from someone, who if she had one less synapse firing in her brain she'd be in a coma, I don't sweat that too much.


Again, this isn't like Co-op. No one from this place reads this, and after today, you'll never hear anything about these people again. So probably not a lot of people know what I'm talking about. Whatver. This was to vent.

Don't misunderstand. This is not a big deal. Now I've vented, and it's out of my system after 4 hours, onward and upward.

Book closed, end of the story, have a nice life, and as always...
God Bless.
