Sionara bruja!

The bitch is gone. Yep, outta here. No more,

• “You suck because I micromanage.”
• “I’m going to ignore you because I’m insecure.”
• “You come up with better ideas than I do, so I am going to trash your review.”
• “I’m faking it (or drunk) when I’m nice to you, which I try not to be too often.”
• “I hate that they hired you, so I’m going to make your life hell…”

Finito!

I may just make it after all. Funny thing that kharma.

Tell me I’m not the only one

I have stuff to do, lots of stuff to do, and it all hinges on getting the information I need to go forward. Why is it people make you wait? I hate it! I am far too efficient for this shit. If only I were given full access to the things needed, I’d have everything on a fast track to completion.

Don’t be a dick

Now let’s just imagine you drive cars for NASCAR. You’re expected to go forward. So why the hell are you in reverse?

It’s ok to lose some control, really. It’s called trust and if you can’t trust someone you work with, you shouldn’t be working with anyone.

My suggestion

Get a grip! If you can’t, get a new job. Maybe you could be a field researcher or work for the Secret Service. That stuff is highly confidential, but keeping your writer in the know isn’t.

In a nutshell,

You’re unintelligent and barely able to do general research, your SEO knowledge is basic if that, and you can’t write using proper grammar.

Then why the fuck did they hire me you chunky little Russian bitch!

And yes, I know there is supposed to be a question mark there, but I chose to break the rule as it’s a rhetorical question (Look it up if you don’t know what rhetorical means. Here’s a hint it might not be in your Russian-English translation book, so go beyond that).

Insecurity is a vicious weapon.

I really didn’t want to believe it when my aunt told me that women are the worst to work with in a corporate environment. Yes, I’ve heard that they are less likely to give another woman a hands-up for fear they may put themselves in jeopardy (women’s studies courses), but I really just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t, but it seems to have crept it’s way into my life like the smell of dirty feet from the office cubical next to me (not really, the office smells fine).

How to get to the top: Sleep with whoever’s above you and crush the ones below.

Need I say more here. Of course I don’t degrade myself this far as to do something like that and apparently, that’s why I am getting squished like an aphid.

Well, what do you do if you’re the aphid? Here’s what I did:

1. Printed out about 247 emails contradicting the allegations that I pretty much suck
2. Determined I would stick up for myself in the meeting
3. Confronted my accuser
4. And I’m not done…

After she ignored me and my ridiculous amount of proof, she told me I couldn’t do anything about the false accusations made to compile my annual review (if you can call it a review, I call it a good old-fashion bashing). She stated and I quote,

This is not a draft.

Never underestimate people

Unfortunately she’s banking on my apparent inability to research and the fact that I am new to the company. But, I asked around and I can file a rebuttal. Stay tuned and remember karma is a powerful thing.

Uh… we have sort of a problem here.

Yeah. Apparently you aren’t doing someone else’s job. Mmmm..yeah. You see, we’re expecting you to fill in the gaps because we trashed our own team.

Did you see the memo about this?

Yeah. If you could just go ahead and make sure you do everyone’s job from now on, that will be great. And Uh, I’ll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. Mmmm, Ok?

Yeah. Uh, get this memo?

I do my job and I do it well, I just expect the same from everyone else. I’m not a control freak who feels the need to micromanage and ultimately do someone else’s job. So I don’t think I’ll be doing that. Oh, and one more thing… Fuck you and your flair!
