You see, I genuinely like and care about my current coworkers. They are very good, hard-working, smart, funny, caring and all around awesome people. And when I leave I will be leaving behind a whirlwind of paper and projects that are kinda-sorta-half-completed for various reasons (including but not limited to: the vendors won't call me back, headquarters is slow, the vendors won't fax me things, the accountant won't fax me things, also there is too much shit going on and I want to put my head down and not worry about the fact that there is no air conditioning in the suite the guy is moving into TOMORROW because the butchers *ahem* excuse me "construction company" hacked up the a/c because they are frickin' genuises.....blah). Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that I'm worried because I know the company is too cheap/incompetent to send a replacement and therefore my crap pile is going to be shoved off on my coworkers who already have more than enough to do.

Remember how when I quit my last job I totally started a mutiny and people starting quitting left and right (I had lunch with an old coworker the other day and apparently the shockwaves are still churning...more people are preparing to quit all thanks to what I started, woot!)? I think this needs to happen here too because all the people I work with are way above this company. This company sucks. This company can kiss my ass.

More proof of why this company is the suckiest of the sucks: First of all, no direct deposit. How can a company with employees spread over 80+ buildings not have direct deposit?? Because it costs money. And this company would sell its own mother for a dollar. Well, maybe not its own mother but it would certainly sell your mother or mine for a quick buck. Anyway, that is not the point of this story, just a tangent and yet another example of why this company..yes..sucks.

So anyway, our paychecks are issued by our "Big Umbrella Company," which shall henceforth be known as BUC. I was informed by our accountant this morning that the procedure up until very recently was that BUC would issue our paychecks and then the accountants for each building would issue BUC a reimbursement check. Well, apparently, our buildings are too poor to reimburse BUC for payroll and BUC has informed the accounting department that since BUC has access to all our bank accounts anyway, they will now be taking the money directly out of our building accounts each pay period and if we can't cover payroll then someone's not getting paid!

Ooooooo-kay.

I didn't really know what to say to that. I mean, are they trying to hold us personally responsible for the fact that are buildings are broke? Because I hope they and their big team of in-house lawyers realize that THEY CAN'T DO THAT. It's not our fault BUC insists on pulling out every dollar we take in to buy new buildings in lieu of spending it on silly things like making sure the tenants have working elevators and air-conditioning. WE'RE ALREADY SCRAPING THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL HERE. What more do these penny-pinching tightwads want from us? Blood?

So apparently I'm still expected to attend the company picnic this weekend. I must say the fact that I've already quit and don't need any of the jokers from BUC as a reference, I might actually enjoy myself. I might actually enjoy telling the Lady Who Signs All The Checks that she is a bitch and I'm SO SORRY we have to pay vendors for things like FUMIGATING A COCKROACH INFESTED SUITE. Yes, I might enjoy that.

Pinch this penny, bitch.
