I hate corporate-think!

[elsol]

Motherfucka's and their territorial bullshit...

My list of people that die if the doctor ever says "Terminal" is getting unmanageable.

I'm going to have to start kicking politicians off soon!

Sincerely,

I hate corporate computer-think!

I just bought a multi-function printer/copier/scanner from Brother.

Some mother fucker in some mother fucker office in some mother fucker corporation thought that the mother fucking plug to connect it into your mother fucking computer needn't be a standard mother fucking accessory.

I quote:

The interface cable is not a standard accessory. Please purchase an appropriate usb interface cable.

Even if it is my life work, I will send hate mail after hate mail to this company.

You do know that their stuff dies a sad and horrible death exactly one day after the warranty expires, dontcha?

Not an issue if I can't plug the fucker into my computer

 

[Liar]

Not an issue if I can't plug the fucker into my computer

Ah, yes. True.

It's why I'm no longer a computer programmer.

I was a damned good programmer, but that was a secondary, often tertiary concern of the suits.

My courtly skills were more important to them, and I have no courtly skills.

Furthermore the courtiers have a a lot of power and don't like being laughed at.

Goodbye career.

That's why I took the path in my career that I did, the technical side instead to the political side. No client contact, well very limited, no sales demo's blah, blah. I know everything about the tools we uses and only a little about the product we produce. So, no one bothers me with functional questions and they certainly won't let me talk to the client. Plus, I get to work from home, so I don't really have to deal with all the corporate bullshit.

I think that's why I'm pathing towards databases and billing.

Things get very unpolitical when we can't get paid and politicos hate the word database.

Unfortunately, the company is getting large enough for the techs to form political groups. It's always sad when I have to consider killing my tech buddies.

I'll do it for the greater good though... make techs in the future think twice before they get political.

might as well send the same hate mail to most of the other mother-fukking printer manufacturers ... I think they all do it ... sigh ... MF'ers

That's why I always keep a couple of extra USB cables lying around, there cheap, especially so I won't have to make that extra trip back up to the store.

I worked in management for JCPenney before the days of diversity training, etc.

I once had a district manager pick me up, and hang me from a fitting room hook by my suit collar. I had to get the security guy to get me down.

Later that same day, he pitched a fit in my office, and left it looking like Katrina's older/bigger sister had been through there.

Ah, if I knew then what I know now....I would be so filthy rich.

Martial Arts?

Martial Arts?

no, I'd have sued the shit outta them. I don't think I've ever been so humiliated in my life.

They're basically a good company to work for....great benefits, but back then, they were so old school that they weren't quite up to par on treating women managers like they did the men.

For example: I was due for my raise in February. I was pregnant when February rolled around, due date was the end of March, and they wouldn't give me my raise until AFTER I'd come back from maternity leave. However, everyone that was NOT pregnant got theirs right on time.

Yes, I have been fortunate to be a Male of the species and have worked for several Women over the years. I always found it easier to work with the women then the men. The men were always trying to prove they were the leader, the women just came by that naturally. Plus, they were always nicer to look at than the guys, that's just my opinon though.

P.S. Love the AV.

 

[rgraham666]

My preference was always for women managers as well.

They were fair. I knew if I was being raked over the coals it was because I had fucked up. It was never a dominance ritual with them.

Although there was one who got her job because she had an MBA. And other reasons, I suspect.

There's all types...The worst boss I ever had was a woman.She was so bad no one else even comes close...
