Good morning, I'm caught up now...lots of hunters around here but never see deer meat or jerky for sale, or see it on menus, you have to know someone.

You guys would shake your heads at the absurd stuff going on at work. My coworker got a bad report from a "secret shopper" visit and got suspended for 5 days. We met with the trainer from the rating company, instead of discussing the report, she had us form teams and play "truth or dare." Then she and the GM came in for dinner and I had to serve them painfully following all the standards they want us to do, such as never saying "um" or "ok" and telling interesting stories about everything on the menu while being "discreet," and other ridiculous picky things that normal guests don't care about.

Having a wine test on Beaujolais today, better do well, I wouldn't want to be suspended! Sheesh....

suspended for 5 days - I'd be looking for a new job... because my reaction would probably have gotten me fired...

The higher-ups get their kicks from intimidating us. The best revenge is not letting them get to you.

Aren't you already a manager? That special level that has the responsibility, but not the pay that should go with it! Spent most of my life in that racket. Now, I am just a 'maintenance guy'...

boy do I hear THAT BS!! been the "go to" guy here for a long time - middle and upper mngnmt. have been dangling the proverbial "upgrade" carrot out in front of me for a LONG time... "oh, we're going to make you one or two grades higher than everyone else - just keep on keeping on" - - every time I get a little altitude going I get called into the office and assured "it's still in the works - just waiting for the details to be ironed out and the paper work to be signed" - - - yea sure - WTF ever...

It's a federal crime to sell wild game meat. That's why you never see it for sale.

I've been in my gig for 10 years now. The pep talks just sound like Charlie Brown's teacher anymore..

indeed - but I want and deserve the boost - being a general around the office dickhead tends to reflect badly.. and most of the people here are decent, it's their bosses who piss me off..

Pep talks are fine.lol
When you are already bustin your butt, workin stupid long hours and they hand you a Performance Improvement Plan and ask for a 'Letter of Commitment'... :wtf:. I told them I was already doing everything on their PIP, so whatever. I signed that but told them I would not give them a letter. If they did not already know my level of commitment after 26years of their :bs_flag:??? Spineless puppet manager who was just doing what he was told by someone above him says "if no letter I will probably have to walk you out". Needed to call someone and find out. I said OK do what you have to and started to walk out of his office. He asked where I was going. I told him till he figures out what he was doing I had work to do and I would be in my office. He didn't respond. Came down an hour later and told me I had to leave pending more BS. That was 3 years ago. Not been easy financially, but I'm surviving and I might live till retirement without that stress.:thumbsup:
