When IT steps in for an upgrade, are they pimping your ride?

We have a new office in a separate state open up in the last year in a call-center related industry. The guy in charge has been staffing up constantly. There is a lot of training going on.

I have to run this up the flagpole. I’ll ping you later to loop you in on the results. Don’t worry, it’s always in my radar. I’ll make sure I’ll bring something to the table.

At my last retail job, I worked with a girl who had just left a receptionist position at Massage Envy. Rather than actual desk work, she said the job consisted mostly of changing “jizz sheets.” Which is what I think of every time I drive past a franchise.

This was mindblowing to me because the price was so LOW. That house would go for two to three million easy around here these days.

Also there is Rat-Sorb. Can eliminate the smell of dead rats. Has an almost anti-scent. I use it to mask the smell of trash, recycling, and compost for 60 people in an unventilated space.

No option for “Not going anywhere, but staying home polishing silver because your spouse wants her coworkers over for Thanksgiving.” I’m going with generous pours of Speyside single malts over a touch of ennui.

Just cosigning. I hadn’t been kissed until I was 22 at which time I pretty rapidly got into a relationship with someone much more experienced than me. I was learning things about my emotional, romantic, and sexual boundaries that most people figure out in High School. I was embarrassed that things affected me as much…

Totally agree. I didn’t have my first serious boyfriend until I was 23. I don’t care now, but at the time I thought I was defective or something.

It is especially concerning to me since it seems like they have high turnover in these 20-22 year olds? Is this guy involved in the hiring of these women? Could he be specifically hiring younger women he finds attractive? Are they leaving because of his behavior?

It’s going to matter when and where you ask the question.

Yeah, there are more serious potential issues here than DNL seems to acknowledge. At best, it’s not great for the workplace environment to have an older man treating every young woman who comes through as his dating pool. At worst, there are real power dynamics issues. At my company, this is definitely a situation HR…

Or just ask how his wife and kids are doing. If he is in an open relationship, no one cares. If the new female employee knew, no skin off your back.

One important caveat to the first letter: he’s not their boss or has any power in the workplace over them, does he? Because that is a problem, then, maybe not the problem Office Drama Bomb thought they had, but whew- biiiiiig problem.

I always make it a point to keep looking after I find something. Just because people always say “it’s in the last place you look” and I want to prove them wrong.

With me, it’s always in the last place that I look.

My great aunt, when she was getting senile and shouldn’t have been driving anyways, used to regularly drive her car to the mall. She would then forget she drove, and take the bus home. Upon arriving home and finding her car gone, she would call the police to report it stolen. She did this so many times, my grandfather…

HAAAA!

remember folks, if you can’t find something try looking the last place you left it first.
