Another Two Bite The Dust
Man, we are seriously losing staff at a ridiculous rate. Two days into this week and we're down two people already!
The first was a girl doing collections. She was a nice girl and had been a CSR prior to working collections. It was rumoured that she and the boss had a thing going on at one point, but of course no one had any proof of this. That's not the reason she left though, ostensibly. I guess what happened was that she did the New York show, committed to doing the Chicago show and then backed out at the last minute, citing her (soon-to-be) mother-in-law's upcoming surgery. Of course the company had incurred travel costs on her behalf at that point and the boss was understandably upset to hear that all the expenses were for naught. I guess he called her at home and her boyfriend answered the phone. Boss told boyfriend that he was sorry to hear about the surgery and boyfriend replied something along the lines that it was no big deal. This made Boss fuming mad as now she had not only backed out of a trip and made the company lose money but she had also lied to him personally. He placed her on a two week suspension and I guess that didn't sit well with her so she just walked out today. Just like that.
Number two to go out the door today was a CSR that had been here for awhile, maybe a few months. She was nice enough, and I liked her. I think she had a lot of personal problems at home. All I know is that she missed work yesterday and came into today saying that she was done and moving to Florida. Just like that. Her situation I wonder about more than the other girl. With #1 it all seems kind of cut-and-dry. There were personal feelings involved, drama, lies, etc. With this one it seems like there was certainly drama but it was more personal to her and not spread to other people in the company. Well, I guess I'll never know.
All this is great news for the receptionist, though, as now she gets to move to the back of the office and be a CSR. I suppose she'll get a pay raise to go along with that new position. When I asked her about this she didn't seem happy and her reasoning was "no one else seems to want to work here, why should I?" I couldn't argue with that.

It seems like that your company is not a really "fun" place to work. Every is leaving, and the management had not notice the change and do something about it. Kind of sucks that management don't notice the problem. I hope you are having a good time there, or perhaps you could mentions something to your boss. I have been working at your old job as a docuement coder, I guess I will stay at that job until I go home, it's too late to search a new job, I hope that I can play the office politic well, so I could switch the job function, and doing what I like to do. I am also in the process of relaunching my old blog, sleeplessboy.com. I am in the phrase of personalize my web page, I will probability annouce it's grant relaunch in two to three weeks, I will send you an announce email at that time.
