Okay, no, not really. But it's tempting.
Wife had her annual review today.
She calls up, crying her eyes out. I'm barely unable to understand her.
She had her review. Glowing marks all around.
Two hours later, the 'upper' boss calls her in. She's being written up! Why you ask? On a spreadsheet - a single, nearly unimportant spreadsheet - she forgot to put in a single, non-important text entry. Something that could have been *easily* recifiied.
It wasn't so much the writeup I'm mad at (although I think the words 'bullet' and 'brain' did come out of my mouth when I was talking to her) but the things that he said to her. "I'll be damned if I'm going to let some $14 an hour clerk get me in trouble for this (doodie)" and some other choice things that...that I can't even remember, because I'm just so freaking ANGRY.
She asked me if she could give her two weeks notice. At first I was like "Two weeks notice? You should freaking WALK. NOW." But then my more rational side kicked in. We're going to have a baby in less than six weeks. If she walks now, or even quits, we have *no* health coverage. None. As much as it kills me, she can't quit yet. I'm rejoining the work force when she leaves, but we can not be without this coverage.
So why am I writing this? I dunno. To vent, mostly. Advice as well. I suggested to her that she talk with her boss' boss, and up the chain of command until this is taken care of. Because, seriously, it's BOLOGNA. My wife though...she HATES confrontations. And as such, avoids them like the plauge.
