Stupid Boss tricks
Here's a new one:
My boss has two hourly employees that have been working in a "temporary supervisor" role for about a year.
He was told to make them permanent salary.
He made them both an offer but it was low-ball and neither agreed to it so far.
The boss is putting pressure on them, saying if they don't accept he'll demote them back to their regular jobs, neither of them care about that.
So, being who he is, he arranged a meeting with him, me, and these two employees.
He opened it up by suggesting that I tell these two how great it is being on salary and working for him.
He wanted me to put pressure on these guys and get them to sign the offer!
Man was that sleazy.
Basically I told the guys the truth, and pissed off my boss in the process.
What did he expect, that I would play that stupid game just to keep him happy? He knows me better than that and I'm pissed that he put me in that position.
Arrrrhhhgggg!
Plus a tard made a lane change this morning into my lane, unfortunately he was right next to me. Smashed up the right front fender on my new truck. Good thing I didn't have a gun ........
His insurance company accepted all responsibility so it'll get fixed and i'll get a rental car, but it'll never be new again and it's a total hassle.
I think I'm going to have a beer or 12 tonight.
