jerks I share the road with...

Wanna bet this guy is single?

What woman would be caught dead getting into this van? And yes, it was a minivan. Please tell me he doesn't have kids and takes them places in this...

The training of the replacement continues. Oh man, they are in trouble. I feel bad - she is absolutely not going to be able to do this job. I'm not sure if I should say anything about this, or let them find out for themselves.

I have an exit interview scheduled for Monday - I'm not sure if it will be constructive. Hubby and I have been compiling a list of the issues that I want to bring up, but I wouldn't be surprised if it just becomes a case of HR accusing me of stuff, and me getting up and walking out. Could happen...

And I'm not sure what would be worse...if the guy has girls, he's probably treating them badly and if he has boys, well talk about misogynists in training! Ugh.

As for the replacement, let them find out. If you say anything it'll look like sour grapes. And in the exit interview, don't say anything. Or if you must , come up with a few innocuous things about why you are leaving like,"I was feeling stale in the job and need to stretch my horizons" and stick to it. Otherwise it turns into a big accuse-fest and they might spread sh&t about you kater. Ask me how I know....Not that it ightn't turn into a big accuse-fest anyway. In which case walking out is a good plan.

I'm choosing to go about my day pretending that moronic sticker doesn't exist. But on the replacement thing? Dude, let them find out for themselves how bad she is. First because they deserve it, and second, because they'd probably choose not to believe you if you tried to warn them anyway.

There was an article in the business section of the Globe last Saturday about how to do an exit interview. I read it. It said pretty much, say things only if they help those being left behind and don't mention names specifically. Maybe you can get your hands on an online copy.

Oh yes, and as for that lovely sticker...where's my spray paint?

Good luck on the exit interview.

You mean after 10 years I could have quit?! Damn!!

I agree, take the high road. Make it about the paperwork of leaving.

If they ask for specific information on a matter, give the information about where a particular thing is at in the business process.

If an employer was really concerned, or interested in what the other areas of concern are for a particular postion or person they have choosen for a postion, they would have been asking long before the exit interview.

In a lot of ways, that is what I am going through now. Its an interesting time, but I can't wait for the day it is done.

I'm sure that a woman cop would've totally understood you utterly ramming his ass to obliterate that sticker!!

Exit interviews are a formality to make companies feel like they're being proactive and in touch with the common employee. You wouldn't be able to shovel actual sh*t that thick!! LOL

I wouldn't tell them about the lack of potential in the new girl either - they hired her I'm sure that she'll be just fine. LOL
