I’ve really done it now. I’ve been running this day and what led up to it through my head for hours now. Corporate sent someone down to talk to me today, all because I requested a meeting with the owners last week. They asked if I wanted them to call me and I said no. I wanted a face to face. Thankfully they sent someone I have a good professional relationship with, (the owner is coming in two weeks). She told me that upper management knew that there was a problem, that we had known each other for awhile and knew I would be straight forward and tell the truth. I did. I won’t go into specifics because it would take several pages and put everyone to sleep. It took an hour and she told me to be patient and not go anywhere else. The reason it’s been on my mind for hours
A. It really takes a lot to make me mad and
frustrated
B. In all my years of working, I’ve never taken this
route, and this is the part that sticks in my craw.

I know, td;lr

ORB, two thoughts that are, together, worth every cent you've paid for them:

1) Good owners/managers want to hear from good, long-time employees about what's not working.

2) You're too good to work for bad owner/managers

Have a glass of good red wine and try not to worry.

So now we know why you have had the redass for awhile. Do we need to send the VN mafia to take carev of some chit for you? You know when you in the fam all you have to do is axe. I'm sure the prez could round up,the regulators for you.

Lol, I’m a big girl and I’ll handle it. I just needed to vent, what better way than here? Sigh. You all make me smile and laugh out loud more than I should in public. This will pass.
edit: oh and I am sorry for being a redass, didn’t realize, but we never do.

Not worried, my job is safe. Period. I have no problem speaking my mind, shocking, I know. mal and bill will understand this, but making a move up the chain of command, it takes a moment to process. The wine or whatever is on standby for tomorrow. I know better than now. 🙂

I'm the same way at work, even during our company meetings with the president there🤣. I think it shocks people when I'm just blunt, and they don't know what to say. After I broke my leg, our next big meeting the president was talking about safety cause we'd had several seriously hurt within a 2 year span. He made the comment that he didn't understand why. I interrupted him, and said I'd be glad to explain it, cause all they do is say hurry, and you can't be safe when you're rushing everything. I said my knee is screwed up for life because the guy helping me hold the roller was taken away because we "had to hurry and get more running ". He didn't know what to say, but it did calm them down about rushing us all the time.
