Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005Need Job Purrs [OT]
My request for a raise was turned down and as a negotiation tactic my boss had the nerve to imply that I wasn't a good enough "Executive Assistant" (because I once answered his phone on speaker phone when my hands were busy coding a web page), and that that was my job title (even though I created / maintain the company's *ENTIRE* internet site and their *ENTIRE* intranet site - which has *MANY* very complex scripts that has saved the company *THOUSANDS* and *THOUSANDS* of dollars). Needless to say I am very PO'd and I am going to be *seriously* looking for a new job soon. At this point, even if I have to take another cut in pay it would be worth it just to get out of here and leave them stuck for somebody to do the web work that I'm doing now! [HA, I'd *LOVE* to see another "executive assistant" do the complex .asp coding that I'm doing!] So, anyway, job finding purrs would be very appreciated.

If the jerk had said they just could not afford it right now and would consider it later, you might have felt better. He is not competent in his job or he would have given you a better reply. Yes, I think you should start "looking" but make sure you have accepted another job before you give him the news. Good luck. MLB Purring and praying that you find a job that appreciates your talents.

Purrs coming Southwest. Suz&Spicey I talked to DH and he said that if we tightened our belts (even more, sigh) we could take a 5 - 10K cut in salary. So I'm glad he understands my need to get out of this job and away from that @$$hole boss. And even better, he told me to get in the car and ask no questions. Then he took me to get a massage. Then he took me to my favorite restaurant for my favorite food. Then he took me to buy a bicycle I've been wanting (don't get excited, Helen or Monique, it's a "granny" bike - no gears, no brakes, nice wide seat - perfect for this granny - LOL!!). Anyway, I'm feeling *MUCH* better and a *LOT* more relaxed! Thanks for the purrs.

Oh, BTW, DH also bought me a horn for my bike - one that your squeeze the bulb and it goes oooooga-oooooga! I think I'm entering my second childhood! ;> Hugs, CatNipped >> Sounds wonderful. But I sure hope you didn't mean NO brakes. >> Coaster brakes rather than hand brakes maybe? >> > The kind of bike that you "back pedal" to brake. That's called "coaster brakes" in the jargon. A fixed-gear bike's wheels, in contrast, only move when you pedal (yes, this means that you *must* pedal while going downhill) -- consequently, they often don't have brakes; you can use resistance to brake (and work up your shin muscles). If you're interested in more info on fixed gears (and I have no idea why you would be, but I'm perversely fascinated by them): http://www.sheldonbrown.com/fixed.html Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca > I talked to DH and he said that if we tightened our belts (even more, sigh) > we could take a 5 - 10K cut in salary.

Except, er, what you're describing sounds a lot like a fixed-gear, which I'm almost certain isn't what you mean. Surely it's a single-speed with coaster brakes, not no breaks? I have this vision of me cruising around downtown on a coaster-brake bike ... it's absolutely silly as there is no downtown in which to cruise, at least not anywhere near my house.

Sounds like you're overworked and definitely underpaid. Here's hoping that you find something more suitable and remunerative. Then you can tell them to take their job and shove it.

(because I once answered his phone on speaker phone when > my hands were busy coding a web page) And what are speaker phones for, anyway? Okay, I hate them. So hit them up for a headset so you can push a button and go back to coding while on the phone. , and that that was my job title > (even though I created / maintain the company's *ENTIRE* internet > site and their *ENTIRE* intranet site - which has *MANY* very complex > scripts that has saved the company *THOUSANDS* and *THOUSANDS* of > dollars). I've seen your work, Lori. You are excellent, creative and FAST! If you can set aside a little money (I know that's tough) you may want to consider doing intranet and extranet sites on a contract basis, with the eventual goal of forming your own company. > Needless to say I am very PO'd and I am going to be *seriously* > looking for a new job soon.

Companies don't realize abusing the help that HELPS them so much will eventually leave them in the lurch. > So, anyway, job finding purrs would be very appreciated. You've got 'em!

Job purrs en route. That company doesn't deserve you. You should tell him that creating and maintaining the internet & intranet sites aren't your job and that you will immediately stop doing that as it is obviously detracting from your ability to be the perfect "Executive Assistant" that he expects you to be. :) Maybe he'll keel over and someone with a brain will take over ;> SignatureElise (supervised by Gossamer & Jeeves) pics: http://photos.yahoo.com/dragonandthistle@snet.net Good luck and purrs towards finding a better job!

I once joked to a former boss, if I won the lottery I'd buy the company then sack him I once heard two stockbroker guys (I think that's what they did anyway) on the tube and one said his ambition was to buy as many shares in their company as he could under assumed names until he had the controlling interest and then he wanted to go into the bosses office and say "Oy Fatso! You're sitting on MY chair"- I would love to be able to do that myself (except-for the moment anyway- you can't buy shares in the NHS!) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
