I know this is getting tired, but I gotta complain somewhere
More words of wisdom sent out yesterday from the higher-ups:
In celebration of a great year, our offices will close tomorrow, December 29th at 3:00 PM. At the manager’s discretion, employees may leave starting at 1:00 PM as long as the department is staffed until 3:00 PM.
Have a safe and Happy New Year!
“In celebration of a great year?” We work hard for them all year long and as a reward they give us a couple hours off and act like it’s a huge favor? Look around you, half the people are out on vacation. Exactly what volume of work is there that we have to keep our butts in the seats until 3? Why not 2pm like you normally announce? Is one freaking hour going to make that much of a difference in productivity? You know everyone’s going to be goofing around anyway.
I overheard another team talking among themselves. Their manager said something like, “I can’t pick and choose who goes home at 1 and who stays until 3, so you all stay.” What the fuck is that? Let them choose among themselves! We’re not fucking children! Work ethic is one thing, but this is just mean.
Yet another attempt at morale-boosting, botched beyond belief.
