PN, Stress one more time
 

I just found the most amazingly effective stressor to really cause my pn to flare big time - way beyond anything that I've experienced before - an absolute unequivocal and directly proportional correlation. Get called in for a 7AM teleconference w/ the very group in Chindia to whom I thank for being unemployed next Thursday and spend 2 1/2 hr explaining to them how to make my teams' process work for them - I am the team leader. Over the next 3 days follow-up w/ multiple e-mails to further elaborate and detail the process and then prepare for 1 last teleconference next week, before Thursday of course, to be sure the transfer is complete.

Add too that the my soon to be former employer reported record sales and profits for 4th qtr - good to know my job or rather lack thereof contributed to this end result

okay, rant's over, I've fallen off the soapbox, it's back in the closet and it's on to the planning stages for the extensive Gentlemen Jacks bioequivalence experiments

Cheers

Are you still on their 'rolls'?
 

IF not, charge one heck of a consulting fee! Nice to know you are 'soo valuable'!
Dang! That hurts! And I've got that tee-shirt too, but not to that extent of gall.
Go roust yourself and punch a wall out and then fix it and paint it...it's far, far more constructive therapy in the long run!

You have been so quiet, I was wondering...Now go :hug: your wife, and take another cyber :hug: from me! - j

Hey! Beats pounding sand! Ya know?

Here's hoping that you PN has quieted down some.

Look at something pretty!! Does wonders sometimes.

Here you go. Just for you!!

Hi Alkymst
 

Very sorry to hear about the job. I hope you are getting some sort of payout or severence. I know it's really hard to find a good job sometimes, especially to be happy there. You are very kind to help them facilitate this handover. I don't think I would be so hospitable.





Mel, I love your new graphics, can you also tell me where the sight is?

Ah yes--
 

--the old "your serviced are no longer required, but before we toss you would you train the people remaining to do exactly what you used to do" gambit.

I not only would be attempting to charge them massive fees, I would, in my training, be planting little "cherry bombs" that would go off at most inopportune times--you know, those small, creative, annoying acts of sabotage (like the Clinton administration removing all "w" keys from the keyboards before the Bush's came into the White house in January 2001) that make life worthwhile--but of course that just's me . . .:rolleyes:

Hope you'll be getting a downtick in symptoms soon.

I'm with glenn.
I'd take all my vacation, personal, and sick leave- not go back
unless it were to clean out my desk & files- and tell them
to get another trainer- unless I were paid a healthy, whopping fee.
I'd also be sure to plant those 'cherry bombs'.
The gall of some people !

Takes Nerve
 

I'm sorry - that is really low - and they a have a lot of nerve to expect that from you... have to give you credit for showing class to actually "train them" - it would be tempting to just walk and then watch them flounder.... loyalty in companies today toward employees is really becoming non-existent...

Take care of your health first..... cause is it gonna make the PN snap at you.... and sending good thoughts to you for all of this.....

:(

I still can't past why The Clinton Administration would remove every W from all the keyboards. What the heck is up with that?? I know the W had something to do with George W. Bush, but to remove the W's.

Learn something new every day!!!!

I can't tell you how I resent this! I'm so sorry for the indignation you are suffering. I'm with Glenn.

That really stinks Alkymst, i would be more inclined to front them and tell them that there is no way known you can teach anyone else properly in such short notice, like it or lump it !!!
Its obvious they need your expertise, so i would reverse their crap back on them, if they buckle and give you more time to teach, then i would be using that paid time to look for another job that would include taking any sick days, etc off that they owe you, using that time off for other job interviews, but i defiantly wouldn't be showing them to much at all, stretch it out to comply with your needs not theirs, when one door shuts sometimes a better one opens.
I wish you the best of luck.
Brian :)

Thing is as much as we WANT to...
 

We happen to be still GOOD people at heart, with a set of ethics that prevent us from actually doing it. Much as we'd like to!

Look up this site and the 'fear of getting fired' stint from Jan 25th.

Big OOPS?

I just prefer to dream of zapping people with paintballs. Silly, and the worst of it is, I can never decide which is the best/worst color to blast them with! It's very therapeutic to just imagine tho. And should I see/meet these people, I have no trouble almost laughing out loud, and again having to decide if they need a 'new color', if so, what color. And then imagining a KAPOW! I do no damage in the process, but it SURE makes me feel better!

The possibilities are endless. - j

a small consolation but someday the person or people who outsourced your job will themselves be outsourcedor excessed.

Joe?
 

Isn't that like 'revenge is best served up cold?'

Key thing is to 'chill out' and put your whole mind body and soul into the better aspects of your life, and then, what you can do with them. Better yet, what you could do that brings in the proverbial bucks for the long term.

Most of us really underevaluate our worth in terms of the skills we have and what we can all do for our communities, our societies and for others in general, despite our own handicaps. The plain and simple fact that we here, share lots of our 'selves' in a way which we learn from each other's experiences and then can build on our own knowledge to help each set of issues is mind-boggling at times. And that for the most part, we do it so civilly. Always amazes me!

Aklymst, I believe we are all behind you! Tho if someone pushes you, we might just all 'topple over' at least, you'll have a pile of cyber people to land on? Could be worse, like plain old concrete. I would prefer chocolate myself. But that is a silly preference. Hugs and good thoughts! - j
