re: Change my mind: The entire HR industry was created simply to manage women in the workforce

I had a staff of seven women and one man. There was not a day that went by that I didn't have the desire to stuff him in a transformer cabinet, weld the top on and ship him to Puerto Rico.

Human Resources called me to their office. They had received a email that I had just read. The President came by while we were talking ......"For years I've wanted to get rid of him." I replied "Imagine that, you suffered all this time just to give the problem to me. How Victorian of you" I got up, "By the way .....his last paragraph of his bitch fest states ......If you don't change my job, I will retire." Best damned retirement letter I ever read. Department meeting in ten minutes ......With him standing there ..I informed the department .."Mike announced his retirement this morning. We have 30 days."

My girls celebrated by taking me out to lunch the day after he left ......They didn't take Mike to lunch the day he left .....

Human Resources called me in ....."Before jumping on me remember ......not one payment of termination and unemployment .....I won."
