So, if you've been reading, you probably know that my workplace has some...uh, challenges. Mainly our boss. In an interesting turn of events, an organizational expert has been hired to "help" us. We think this was mainly HR's idea because my boss's boss isn't very objective where my boss is concerned. You see, she convinced the company to pay all his relocation expenses and to pay the rent on his apartment for him when he was staying in the area. This went on for about two years. So I guess she feels pretty defensive over her position and his, to the point where, if he sexually harasses an employee he gets a stern talking to - off the books, of course. Nice, huh?
Anyway, HR was getting so many complaints about him that I think they "recommended" this particular path. I had an interview with the lady yesterday. It reminded me so much of the movie Office Space it was hilarious. It started out with me providing an explanation of what I do. After that, it was, "So, what do you you think contributes to the issues in your department?" It was spectacular. And almost everyone who had to do an interview gave the same answer: our boss.
I have no idea where this will go. Maybe he'll get an even sterner talking to after this. My guess is that they'll get us all involved in a BS teambuilding exercise where we're forced to role play. Anyway, after yesterday's fun and games, it's nice to be home today, even if it's only because Evelyn has a wicked cold.
