I have people skills, Sharon H.!
It’s them exactly.
“What would you say…ya’ do here?”
Perfect!
“Mmm-kay?”
Nope ? too mean for me today.
No reflection on NTMTOM’s humour, it’s just that with everything mean going on in the world I just want nice stuff right now. I’m going for a long walk, maybe it will restore my usually thicker skin.
I have days like that, too, Gigi. Sometimes I can handle snark, sometimes not. I hope your walk is restorative.
The hovertext made me snortlaugh.
Honestly, exit interviews have always seemed like one of those things companies do because they feel like it’s just what you do. I’ve never even heard of one being constructive, which makes sense: if you wanted to talk anything over with your boss, you’d do it on your own before leaving. Anything left unsaid by the time of the formal sit-down isn’t going to get said.
For some reason I keep reading “Security” as “Shorty.”
“If you’re not out in ten minutes we’re calling Shorty.” Yep, that’s funnier.
