funny story.
I have a technician here who is failing miserably, he is very sensitive, he is a born again christian/former meth head. He takes EVERYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING litterally. All of which makes it even harder to point out mistakes and errors in judgement, he dam near tears up and he is a 40 yr old man.
Yesterday I had a job return that he fucked up in a huge way, costing my department a good chunk of change. So i decided he needed to think real hard about his direction and expectations as a member of my service team, so i gave him a week off without pay to work his issues out in his own whacked out head (btwwhen i say whacky and "christian" i mean he is one of those, eyes rolling back in his head, praying in tongues, worshiping god like the world was gonna light him on fire if he didn't, guys).
Anyways, after he went home yesterday my boss and I had a meeting with a local boat dealer recently bankrupt, we already bought all thier boat inventory from the bank and they wanted to work out a deal to basically work under our company name selling boats on the other end of the county. The lost 90% of their staff, they actually disolved their service department, which was run by the owner's son. Well the son kinda went into his own business, which of course is still owned by the dad, but nevertheless he opened a service business on the same property as the bankrupt sales center. The meeting was basically them wanting us to take thier new shit over to give them a reputable name (btw i run a top 100 marine service complex for boat repair and sales in the US). which we agreed under the stipulations that EVERYTHING is being run by me.
Loong story short, the technician i sent home for a week showed up this morning to inform me he was loading his tools, that he had found a "better" job working for a manager that was more respectful to workers feelings, etc..blah blah right. As he is speaking in his holyer then thou attitude he brought with him (which he mentioned that god gave him the strength to face me and confront my hostility). As he is stomping his feet and feeling like David(shameless bible reference, i suppose im goliath), his phone rings. It's his new boss telling him that they just finalized a deal with a local boating center powerhouse and he would be working for a different guy then expected.
Well guess who that was...nevertheless, he will not be employed...sucker!
i know i know i will burn in hell, like i fucking care..
Ther is no EXCAPE!
