Mightybec Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Re: The cranky thread I went into Quiznos today to pick up some dinner, and the chick infront of me decided to order three different small sandwiches, each with "special needs", then had to pay for each of them seperatly. Grrrrr... Get in and go lady! It's a sandwich for christs sake, not a potential mate. It's not that difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Re: The cranky thread I just spent the huge majority of my evening writing a very detailed report as to why a man who's been with the company for fifteen years needs to be fired. Complicating matters: He's a known misogynist AND hater of gays. Needless to say, he and I have butted heads on numerous occasions. So, I have to make sure that no hint of personal prejudice enters into the report. At all. Numerous edits were needed, as I would get upset and let my feelings influence what I was typing. Kara was a huge help with that. Thanks, love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewing Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Re: The cranky thread I did wonder if it could be related to Alergies. I have been fighting them constantly.

travellerne Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Re: The cranky thread I did wonder if it could be related to Alergies. I have been fighting them constantly. ...Molds for certain. Bingo! Weather change is preceded by change in barometric pressure; signals the mold spores to break open and get ready to grow in wet environement; you breathe mold spores; sinuses inflame and immune system kicks in; immune system overcompensates and attacks joints as well. All during a change in the weather. And I believe it's a suitable topic for a cranky thread. TNE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zornwil Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Re: The cranky thread I was just thinking about this...Klytus, maybe you should just go to either your doctor's office or the emergency room and make a big stink (as in pointing out just how much pain you are in) and force treatment immediately. Your ongoing headache sounds really unhealthy and I'm thinking maybe you should just force (i.e., politely but very firmly refuse to leave, and don't worry if you get agitated and let some anger go, since you are in great pain) them lest something go any longer at this point. Just my 2 cents, and sorry if I'm making you paranoid, but don't let them mess with your health - this is the 21st century in the USA, they can treat you if you make it an emergency.

We pretty much had to do that once, it worked. So long as you're not being unduly alarmist, your credibility is intact. Anyway, just thinking of options. Good luck.

Not the case?[/quote'] I think it's more or less standard, but I know many places don't go through this process. I often hear of people who are surprised when they're fired, and, whether they should be or not based on their own behavior, the reason is usually because they received no specific prior warning and corrective action program. And often doing so does really help the person - when they are let go, they are (even if upset) not so surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
