Sal Paradise 57 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Because they save a ton of money laying off people with high salaries and hiring people at entry level salaries.thought about that but I think most of the people they are laying off are really low end people and they don't make shit. like less than they could ever hire new people for. believe me, this company doesn't pay much until you get to the really high brackets.

speedz99 145 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok, let's get something straight. Saying "I'm sorry about your dad" deserves a "Why, did you give him cancer?" Saying "I'm sorry to hear about your dad" is totally different and makes perfect sense. I demanded to see the doctor who eventually came to the room. We had a little conversation in the hallway in front of about 10 of the staff who's ears were pricked up on sonic mode.I asked him if he would prefer his own father being told that way? Would his wife and kids be proud if they knew? What about the hospital mission statement hanging on the wall that says all people should be treated with respect? I said more but you get the point. Waitresses don't get it this bad.I told him I assumed he wasn't in the profession out of a love for medicine, just doing it to make a buck, which I can appreciate. So I threw the twenty at him and told him to use it to get a conscience. (sp?) Yeah, you're fired.I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Sounds like a funny old bastard, which isn't surprising. Nice work bitching out doctor douche.Mine has never been mentioned publicly, but I did get a PM. So I guess I'm better than you.Erronious! I did mention it in the thread, but said that I'd have to come back later and give a detailed description and pictures. Later just hasn't happened yet. Link to post Share on other sites

speedz99 145 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 well here's something: I see today that the company I used to work for has just started posting new jobs again for the first time since AIG started going through all those troubles several months ago. so I get all excited thinking "hell, they must be doing better now or something." find out when I get home that this same company, just today, laid off 230 people. uh, huh? anybody have any idea why they would start hiring new people on the same day they laid off a ton of people?Wait, did you get a new job? Or is this a company you worked for a long time ago? Link to post Share on other sites

loogie 115 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 since you're no longer in the Hollywood area, who is the "when we finish our 'great' script this is the guy we send it to and later sue when he steals our script and puts it out there as if he/she wrote it and makes a bundle of money" guy?also, the wording of your last sentence makes me confident in your copywriting skillsI'm still that guy. I know people who know people. Link to post Share on other sites
runthemover 39 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm still that guy. I know people who know people.that's good. there's no one else out there I'd rather have to be the guy who tries to screw me over. And, speaking of eyes since people are writing about eyes...actually I'll go with speaking again since that sounds better and I guess reads better if you speak aloud when you read or at least read as if the other person is talking, this heart to heart has brought tears out of my eyes.

gobears 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sorry to hear that RR - went thru it with my Mom. In looking back, the doctors were great about how they handled giving out the news and at the end; I just took it for granted too at the time. Perfect time for the $20.As for Sal - many companies use layoffs to get rid of the deadwood/low performers - saves the managers from having to justify firing somebody when they can just get rid of them as part of a RIF.

Tactical Bear 3 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Also colour me confused cat, ended up making out with that chick again last night, but she wants nothing to come of it, umm, yay?Welcome to my world, partner. At least your "relationship" didn't begin to disintegrate when she opened your Secret Santa gift from Specbrad. Let me be perfectly clear: I should have known better, and I really should have just told her she couldn't open it when I picked her up, and I should have responded better, and I should've just made the situation go away. It is definitely my fault, entirely, and in no way is SpecBrad AT ALL responsible for my break-up (<--- not even the right word, because she was only my Special Lady Friend) with Vickie (yeah, motherfuckers, that's her real name).

Tactical Bear 3 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yeah, sorry I didn't get a chance to post a picture of the gift in here, Brad. I kinda threw the porn (with Vickie and Matthew Lillard crudely pasted on the DVD, and the title: "Matthew Lillard Is: Balls Deep in Maggie!") out the window of my still-moving car. I do, however, have the hat/underwear lying around. I'll get a hold of a digital camera and take a picture if I get a chance. Link to post Share on other sites
