The rumor is that one of my employees is retiring in the spring. I have one person to replace her, but no one to replace the one replacing her.
I have 3 that can move up, 1 was actively aggressive and doesn't get along with half the staff. I think she calmed down after the review... 1 is extremely nervous, but might be willing. 1 had taken a step back in retirement and doesn't want to be in charge and also doesn't get along with person 1 which they would be supervising if selected.
Not sure how to do succession planning with that make up. When I was hiring there was no one, so I just did whatever I could and now it will bite me in the butt.
It would be difficult to direct hire into a supervisor role but not impossible. I could perhaps market as that and see if I can steal someone from another place....
Dear Science Project & Teacher Teacher you okay DD to do single use plastic removal from schools with her two friends back in October. You finally give out the rubric and then tell DD no you can't do that project because the school green team just finished convincing the district to make the change and it isn't a big enough project for 3 people let alone 1 person. DD tells B in 1st yesterday the bad news and says that maybe we should just all do individual projects as she couldn't come up with anything big enough to make it a group project. Fast forward to lunch and neither of DD's friends are talking to her and leave her alone to eat lunch. WPs my kid had to be the bad guy and her only two friends ditched her. Teacher does get involved after lunch and the girls talk it out. The text messages last night were major and this is why group projects just suck in my opinion. DD did get approval to make jelly sphere caviar and I've order the kit. This project isn't big enough to make a group project, thank goodness. Mom who stayed out of it when the other kids mom's started texting me last night.
Dear Comcast You stated we would have no phones or internet today. I get to work and we have very hiccup internet and phones at the moment. Do I just say screw it and go home or do I try and work between hiccups today? My mind was not on working today
Dear DH, There is a difference between turning down the heat when no one is home vs turning it completely off! I got home from work to a house that was below 50 degrees! When we have snow flurries in the morning, can we at least heat the house? I appreciate the energy and money preservation but you’ve gone too extreme. Love, Your freezing wife
It was so sad to see you off this morning. It was such a nice visit. The house is going to be so quiet without your random bellowing, giggling over videos or at yourself, stealing raw cookie dough. But I'm glad you are in a good mood because you can see your girlfriend.
Signed mom
Dear Dh,
Your scope today showed a hiatal hernia. Maybe some diet or medication treatment. Or a minor surgery. So chill out. At least it's not esophageal cancer which you had worked yourself into.
Signed, let's just be grateful and I'm tired.
Dear WPs,
Based on above, it's been a craptastic day. I've worked my way into a headache.
Signed, I'm laying on the couch with trashy TV tonight with my Christmas blanket.
Dear Dd,
I've got all the Christmas movies ready for you to come home. I also bought everything for us to make Christmas candy.
I feel like the quote you sent over is a test. Yes, we're doing a big reno. No, we are not $40k in appliances people, especially when $7k of that is wine fridge.
