Women need to go back to having Fantasia parties like in the late 90's. It was fun to watch them all stampede for the washroom at once the second the hostess announces to the room she left a very "special cream" in there for them to try out.
We hired a new guy on our team a couple months ago and he might as well start looking at Mary Kay as a fallback option soon. He's making a fraction of the calls he's expected to and for the SECOND DAY IN A ROW held up team meetings starting at 9 am by showing up late. He's a year out of college and claimed to have left his previous job because he "didn't like corporate feel" there. C'mon man!
I know man, like salespeople gotta make money? Weird. On that note, not feeling anxiety over monthly quotas anymore and having a new boss is wonderful.
Let's be honest though, corporate structure and politics is a life draining force. Fuck I need to find a field that isn't so mind numbing.
I had a buddy who got caught up in the whole Amway scam. He had an mechanical engineering degree and a very promising career, but he thought he had found the fast track to financial success with Amway and he wanted to take me with him. He kept texting me wanting to talk about "opportunities in the marketing biz" and always talked about how he was "gonna make you rich, dude". I was at the point in my career where all of my hard work was finally starting to pay off, but he would talk about it like it was a dead end job. He couldn't understand why I would want to work hard for a long term goal when I could be "making fuckin' bank" with Amway. He ended up with all of his credit cards maxed out and a garage stacked to the ceiling with Amway shit that he bought. The whole thing made me realize what a dumb fuck this guy is, and I hardly speak to him anymore because of his constant sales pitches. I don't think he's selling Amway anymore, and he still has an engineering job, but he's still broke. Now he's a member of one of those megachurches who push the whole "Praise Jesus and He will reward you financially (but give us money first)!" thing. Every once in a while he'll text me some anti-gay religious propaganda or something about how women need guidance, so make sure you tell your spouse who to vote for during an election. So yeah, he's really grown as a person.
I certainly won't disagree with you there, but it's a horseshit excuse if the kid is just lazy. This is a smaller company with just over 100 employees and comparing day-to-day office stuff with my girlfriend (who works at one of the big four accounting firms) seems unreal at times. We're pretty much at opposite ends of the spectrum. Either way, I wanna work here: Forget email, doggie mail is the way of the future!
Yep. Every morning I have a 9:09 stand-up meeting. As soon as it's 9:09 the door to the meeting room gets locked, and we start. Miss 3 of them (other than for good reasons) and you get written up. I used to have a guy that would chat around the coffee machine and constantly be 2-3 minutes late, holding up a room of 10 of us for him. Totally disrespectful and fucked over the team. He had the balls to be indignant that we expect him to be on time. (French-Canadian... go figure). He got transferred out of my team the day after that tirade. Good riddance.
Did you just call me a chickenshit in a thinly vieled attempt to goad me into posting pics of some kind? You're not the first I suppose. Let's see, I've modded this joint for sometime, a big chuck of which was practically alone. I think that in itself is giving enough of me. I don't think that pointing out he looked like he wanted to finger bang that chick was a tease in anyway. Matter of fact he repped me on a good call because I was right. I think you're just jealous. And, PS Everyone already knew I wouldn't play along. Come on now, you're not new here.
They still have those around here. Pure Romance is the company. When I was in college I remember some fun nights after the ladies returned from those parties.
Because there's always some dickhead that's better at what they do and there for think it's ok to show up late.
You should have just PMed Shegirl and she would have sent you all the pics you wanted, it worked for me I just asked nicely.
