This is a question The Boss

My chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.

I apologise to everyone...
On behalf of Mudbutton, GoodLord and myself, for our stream of posts on the 'seventh level of hell' that was that place.

Please don't blame us, it's just that we were given so much material to work with!

Mudbutton, I was with you through that whole experience...and feel immense pride at how you handle the injustice with your head held high...displaying a dignity that the conniving bitch and arse covering company didn't deserve.

What MB hasn't mentioned folks, is that he is a single father with 2 kids, and the 'accusing' woman in question didn't even spare a second thought about how his family would be affected by her vicious, selfish and spiteful actions. She thought gettin gshot of him would mean she would get his job...of course, it didn't. What she didn't realise though, was that her actions would also cost the jobs and livlihoods of everybody on that mailing list - including one of her friends - but she was driven by jealousy and revenge and didn't think her acts through.

The company knew it was a frame up - and could have done 100 things to ensure MB kept his job, but they took the easy option and wimped out behind the cowardly cloak of company policy.

Writing this makes me angry - But Mudbutton merely dusted himself down and within one month had taken his talents and ability to a company in direct competition, who couldn't believe their luck when he fell in their laps, and who have treated him with the respect he deserves ever since.

As MB says, she has since been made redundant.

What goes around...

(oh, and *clicks*)

Edit: I actually posted about this on the 'I Witnessed a Crime QOTW here In February 2008…
