OMG! (Work related) edit OMG2!

[Deleted]

Both of our administrative assistants quit! One resigned 2 weeks ago, with her last day last Friday. The other quit today, with her last day on May 1. Both cited a hostile work environment as the reason for their departure!

Good for both of them, but fuck we are so fucked!

[audette]

Oh, wow. Is it enough to make management take notice of the environment?

[aurora]

I hope this is the start of a positive change for you!

[Deleted]

That makes 6 people leaving our department in 2 years. In a 10 person department! Some of the positions have been filled twice!

Edited to specify In 2 YEARS!

[irene adler]

Wow.

Can I send you a gift basket of valium?

[Pom]

You'd better start keeping a bottle in your desk. Is boss lady the main issue or only part of the drama? When turnover happens like that, someone must see there is a problem. I mean other than you and the people that left that is.

[niq]

ohgod. I hope you find something new soon!

Seriously, though. I kept a single shot of fireball and a file in my desk that had everything on it I needed to grab in the event I was leaving for good within 5 minutes. We called it "the red file."

Hope things turn around for you soon.

[steph96]

Oh wow! Hopefully that will raise enough red flags and someone will do something.

I feel like I'm missing some back story here. Have you posted about how terrible your work is?

[gogreengowhite]

Damn, I'm sorry!

I really hope things turn around for you.

[WinterWine]

Good god that's insane. I hope they take notice and things begin to turn around. Is there any other place for you to work in your city?

[explorer2001]

Dang! Sending new job dust your way.

[lime]

Holy shit!

I don't remember the backstory but I hope this is enough to make someone notice.

All of them are related to Boss Lady and how awful she is to work for. There are 4 of us left who were her 2.5 years ago. Turnover is to be expected but this is nuts!

I have a pretty specialized set of degrees, and am actually employed in that field, so jobs in my area of expertise are pretty few and far between. I'm sticking it out through one more year for the maternity leave benefits, then in out of there wether I have a job in my field, or a job at all.

I have a little bit. I work for a narcissist, who is basically a terrible person. Every bad thing you've heard about a female boss? She exceeds the stereotype!

Do you work for Big Insurance Company Legal Department?

Ha, nope. Local government. These are your tax dollars at work, people!

The one who quit on Monday is filing a lawsuit.

[Deleted]

Shit, I hope you get out soon.

Good for her. I wish I had. Maybe my friend after me, who was terminated one month after her fiancé died, would have been saved the difficulties she was put through.

[Deleted]

WOT?* that is atrocious!

Another OMG! Boss Lady's house is on the market!

[Deleted]

@foodielicious I swear to God I'm kind of enjoying the drama Rama. The zillow listing says it's been on the market for 5 days. I'm guessing she had some kind of come to Jesus moment with the Big Boss last week, as one employee resigned, a manager attended a meeting with HR labeled "Hostile Owrk Wnvironment ?", and the Big Boss had to sit through a THIRD Union greviance hearing with her.

I swear to God, Im dying to hear how she spins this. Her husband just took a promotion in the military and moved to Florida and her daughter is graduating from high school this spring and will attend college on Florida. Dollars to doughnuts says she spins it as a "I need to be with my family."

Omg I'm so excited!

[sometimesrunner]

I LOVE THESE UPDATES!!!!! I am officially over invested! Good luck and keep us posted!

[WinterWine]

Good god I hope this lady flees montana to go to Florida!!

[phunluvin82]

This is awesome. Fingers crossed she'll got to FL and GTFO of your hair!

[gogreengowhite]

Her house on the market is such wonderful news!!! I really hope you get rid of her soon.

[raangoli]

I hope someone buys that house soon so she's gone, gone, GONE soon!

[Pom]

May the wicked witch hop on her broom and fly. Fly far away. Seriously, house selling vibes for that crazy bitch.
