I do. My company seems to love me. I don't don't feel like I'm owed an early afternoon today though.

There is no upside in your post. But, you're feeling sporty.

There's a trashy strip club about 5 miles away from work. I am actually shocked by how close it is to Las Colinas


I know the area, there are SEVERAL strip clubs. And liquor stores. And adult bookstores. Plus your "clients" can stay at any number of seedy motels along the way.

If only the earthquakes that keep hitting around the old Texas Stadium site would just move 1-2 miles northwest to said area...

You are a bad manager and you should feel bad.

If you gotta do it, explain it and then give them all a bonus for helping out. You will get the bonus money back tenfold

Apparently not as much as you think they do, if you still don't get why employees should have a light day today. Especially considering that you've "worked for decades" and still don't get it.

I'm working, am a boss and it better be one heck of a deal to call your folks together today, especially at 3. Truthfully, it can't wait until friday morning at 10 or is it so top secret you can't communicate via electronic means???

Well the thing is if it is one heck of a deal, that's even worse. Because stupid mf should have chosen a time where his employees' attention span was at 100% if that is the case.

And 3:00 PM on the Wed before Thanksgiving is not that time. This past Monday, next Monday, or better yet yesterday or next Tuesday would be the best time for a meeting like that.

If this is not just a troll and is real life and he's really a boss being a dick, then he's a retard.

this would go over great where I work, "hey 777, can you take these people and a few packages over to Hong Kong today at 2:45? we'll make a a few mil if you do, and we'll even give you about $10-11k to do it" me: "are you fricking serious? 2:45 the day before Thanksgiving? GTFOOH!!!!!!!!!!!! besides, I wouldn't be able to give it 100% of my attention"

I called a meeting for all of my direct reports. Yes I am that guy. It is for a new major customer order so it's legit.


You should have a comma after yes. You should also have a comma after new and order. Yes, I am that guy.

Because that's exactly the scenario the OP was describing.

If you are w2 I expect you will always be a w2. I'm guessing you are and that nothing will actually get done at this 'meeting.'

Yep you really know the area! Funny thing is if you stay relatively on the same road you start running into high end apartment complexes and homes
