I Called In Sick Today

[Sal Paradise 57]

I'm not sure about everybody else, but my boss seems to like a combination of low/never increasing pay, degradation, constant fear, and a good dose of public humiliation. seems to work for him. only 4 of his employees have walked out on him in the past year and a half, and the rest of us seem to be perfectly fine putting up with the severe depression and constant anxiety working with him causes.

Get a lawyer. Sue him. Retire.

[loogie 115]

Steak and eggs, scrambled with cheese, hash browns, scattered, covered and smothered, raisen toast with apple butter. Lots of coffee.

WAFFLES! I will not waffle on my decision to have waffles.

As far as the financial incentives go, when I say I can't, I mean really, really can't. By law, dealer compensation at Michigan Charity Casinos is capped. Tips are illegal. Bonuses are illegal. Etc. I still throw them a few bucks here and there, but it's out of my pocket. It's amazing I have any motivation to keep the room operating at peak efficiency, because I have absolutely no motivation to increase revenues or lower costs. For me it's mostly a pride thing. I'd like to be very good at my job, and LEARN HOW to be very good at a job.The "unexpected gratitude" is the only one I have down pat, I think. There are probably some issues with perceived favoritism, but I try very hard to appear totally impartial. I try to make it a meritocracy.

I have mangaged tons of people over the years and use to love it immensely; now i'm loving not being responsible for anyone other than myself. It is really difficult to motivate people without a monetary incentive to do more than is absolutely necessary for them to get by. I would suggest resorting to the same method I use to get a cat to carrya piano up the stairs. Use a whip.

Case in point.

I've been thinking alot about the nature of management recently.

I was told last night that pretty much everyone I work with talks about the fact that if I opened up my own hospital tomorrow they'd go with me in a heartbeat. The grass is always greener, but it was still nice to hear. Apparently the consensus is that I'd make a bit less money than our current place but everyone would be a lot happier...which is true. But I'd still make more than most vets because I've got at least some business sense.Too bad I won't have my own place for at least 7-8 years.

So I take it most of them don't know you're Jewish.

oh my - from the FAQ: (Q) Won't the rapist kill me? (A) Sadly, many women have been killed over time, as nobody can guarantee the outcome of any rape!(Q) Can this be worn during masturbation? (A) No, not at all.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Exactly. Ron you a dangerously close to going from good tipper to sucker.

Please. It's not like I'm being worked at a strip club. I just don't care about money enough. Ok, enough of tip talk. I only mentioned it to pick on myself and show what I moron I am."Is it better to be luhved or feahred"

People don't care about being happy, they just care about making money. True Fact. I mean, work is work. From the top paid baseball player to a guy sweeping up floors in a high school. It's mostly about the paycheck. The levels of happiness are great enough to distinguish to take less money. I mean, I wouldn't take $5k less to stay at my job just for one or two decent co-workers because I know that it's the same shit where ever you work. Unless you get beat down at work every day like Sal.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

One amusing thing from last night, some guy walks up to me and says "Hey, what are you doing drinking?" and it took a second to process, and he was a guy from my drug and alcohol counseling class. He was getting bombed as well. Neither of us were driving home. yay

You should talk to FCPInfo SickInfo2 about this, if it's just a money issue there has to be some scam to come up with it.Also, I'm watching the holiday right now and it's supergay but I like it

After looking at all these foreclosure homes the last few days, I don't know how you live like this Sal.

you mean in squalor?

[speedz99 145]

Our boss now is a jew as well. But I guess that goes without saying...he is, after all, the boss.

and by then, you'll be the Man. oh well

Nah, I'm not The Man type. I've managed people before, I'm just really laid back and goofy (like all other times) but I've got no qualms about telling someone immediately to their face when they should be doing something differently. In my experience, most serious job issues come when shit isn't out in the open. Either way, it's all about hiring the right people.

People don't care about being happy, they just care about making money.

Most people are stupid. True Fact.

speedz, do you have some business degree?

BSBA from The John M Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis. BEYATCH!

I don't think that's spelled correctly.

[Theraflu 1,035]

I don't think that's spelled correctly.

Oh definitely not. But I searched how I thought it was spelled, with a ul or whatever, and nothing came up, so I figured I'd go with the phonetic spelling.
