Another One Bites The Dust



I haven't had the heart to blog about it until now. But here it is: we at YDB are now short one math teacher. Last week, the big boss decided to pick another angry, vituperative fight with Raymond, our math teacher. Raymond fought back, it turned ugly, and ultimately he said, "If you think I'm doing such a bad job, you can find someone else who will do it more to your liking. I quit." And that was that.

So, to sum up, in the five months since the World's Ugliest Staff Retreat, four staff members have left our organization. One, Indira, got a better opportunity and left with dignity and good feelings. Two, Margaret and Sharron, were fired outright and told to get out of the building by the end of the day and not come back. Now, Ray has quit. No notice, no good feelings. It's not pretty, people. Not pretty at all.

You look so happy in that photo, Mark. You couldn't be trying to convey anything, could you?
Is "the big boss" accountable to anyone as far as her management skills? Does anyone evaluate her for her personnel relations style?

Which one is "Big Boss" ? I'm thinking a little look-alike Voodoo doll with pins in the right places ...

Big Boss is in the red, front and center.

No, she's not accountable to anyone. The two that got fired wrote letters to our board of directors complaining about her behavior and that's what got them fired.

One consolation...big boss is freaky ugly.

There is some justice in the world. I relished the news report the night they showed Kwami Kilpatrick's face on World News Tonight and announced his day of reckoning had arrived!
