Grumpy Cat's death in 2019 was about the lowest point of the year for me. I don't normally react much to celebrity deaths, but that one hurt.

"Not much was left after the boss's bonus."In less pleasant news, a whole lot of people at work just got told "lol, sucks to be you, no raises this year."
Clearly you don't work for Comcast. Their favorite slogan is "Get the f*** out of my building."In less pleasant news, a whole lot of people at work just got told "lol, sucks to be you, no raises this year."
That sucks, and the saddest part is that they show concern for your dad. If this were Comcast they would just keep running him until he collapsed, then say, "Man, it sucks that you had a heart attack before you locked in enough years for retirement. NEXT!"My father has heard (for seven years running), "We can't give you an increase this year. While you remain the most important employee to our continued success, circumstance beyond your control have caused a stagniation in the profitability of the company. While this is no fault of yours, we still cannot find a way to reward your selfless devotion to the company." New to the excuse this year. "However, you're physical deterioration of the past year concerns us. We'd like you to take off one extra day a month to conserve your strength with the hope this enables you to continue to travel and manage our managers."
"We notice that you have collapsed to the floor. We would like to remind you that calisthenics, while a health benefit, is strictly to be practiced in your own personal time. The pained gasping you are currently making is also not within company guidelines. Please note that we have docked your pay for the day, and repeat infractions will result in summary termination. Have a Comcast day!"That sucks, and the saddest part is that they show concern for your dad.

I have several corporate clients, so I often edit texts like mission statements and stuff like that. They always talk about employees' buy-in, and loyalty, and how they want their people to be ambassadors, and "we all need to pull together and work hard this year."My father has heard (for seven years running), "We can't give you an increase this year.

Yes, loyalty should be a two-way street.That sucks, and the saddest part is that they show concern for your dad. If this were Comcast they would just keep running him until he collapsed, then say, "Man, it sucks that you had a heart attack before you locked in enough years for retirement. NEXT!"

But the loyalty never seems to work the other way round. As soon as you're no longer useful, out you go with the minimum severance pay they can get away with. And after years of reorganisations, they wonder why their employees aren't dedicated to their company's mission, or engaged with the business model, or whatever.

It’s not on her IG now, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t.Open for business would be a good one though.
