51ee admin

any one see the 2 new openings at admin? vr and loss control are going to add people. guess wendy was so lazy that they have to add a people to make up for her.

i hear joe skack is going to throw for the vr job cuz he's pissed off about not getting promoted yet. 2 years and still making MA $$$. i'd want to move to.

hope k-hill doesnt drive more people out! theyre running out of people to promote. tarbet's job is going to be filled by someone outside the region since there arent any good candidates.

[I rent cars]

I was woundering who they were going to use to replace Tarbet. I was thinking Freguson might throw for it.

So of all the people who have left admin in the past year, where have they gone.


so much for the Founding Valuses Award.I know this was Jack Tally's big thing when I was there. I remember when he won this award several times a year. We were all told be Peteer Fucking Flemming,Mindy Dod and Rod Skenell( AKA Snelly) that this award was huge for everyone invloved.this would increase everyones chances of promotion and bla bla bla. So much for speaking shit Jack.

Stick it to the man

tamie may will likely get tarbet's job. either that or the branch manager from 3Q (okc airport). haven't heard who else is throwing. don't think ferguson is ready for that step, in fact i cant think of a real "standout" candidate in our entire region right now that deserves an area job.

we have still won the founding values job every year, moron. haven't missed one yet. as for promotion, we've had 3 different people get promoted to area manager outside the group in the last year alone. so i'd say, his word is holding true. until you know what you are talking about, i'd suggest you go piss up a rope.

I think they pervious post is a former ERAC person.So give him a break

What happened to Josh Tarbet?

so who is throwing for the 2 new admin openings? i heard the repair job will be between skach and kole. kinda suprising?? couldn't even guess about LC though, only person i knew recently that wanted out of rental already did it (steiner).

They must have been scared to lose skach since they promoted him today. guess it just proves that if you whine enougg they will eventually give you something especially when their retention sucks so bad.

you dont think joe deserved the promotion? shit hes helped me more than i can count. I would say it is long over-due

51ee you need to wake up and post more what wrong? You all can't be happy employees.

Let's start with Kevin Hill needs to go, Brian Chapute needs to go & Rob Conner needs to go, so make it happen.

I found this today on CNN and I had to post it, number 9 fits Peter like a custom made suit. I know, I know Peter has been gone a long time but just reading #9 made his name pop into my head and a few others.

Why bad employees don't get fired - CNN.com

Why bad employees don't get fired

1. The employee has a relationship with someone higher up.

A relationship doesn't necessarily have to be romantic or family, although either is a possibility. In many cases, the relationship that keeps someone from getting fired is friendship.

The bad employee may not perform well on the job, but may be a golf or drinking buddy for your boss, or may simply be someone that senior management enjoys having around the office.

2. The boss relies on the employee.

According to Terence R. Mitchell, Ph.D., author of the business text "People in Organizations: Understanding Their Behavior," when a supervisor depends on an employee, the supervisor is less likely to attribute poor performance to the employee's ability or attitude, and more likely to attribute the poor performance to forces beyond the employee's control.

3. The employee brings more value to the company than he or she costs.

Maybe the employee who jokes around and wastes other employees' time at meetings is also a brilliant worker whose productivity has resulted in significant revenue for the company.

4. The boss thinks it could be worse.

Even if everyone knows the employee is not pulling his or her weight, management may fear that a replacement could do an even worse job. This fear is compounded if the company has previously had other people perform more poorly in the position.

5. The boss is afraid of the employee.

If there are concerns that an employee might sue the company or possibly become violent if fired, it may take longer to let that employee go. If there's a threat, the company needs to consult with legal or security experts and put appropriate measures in place before letting a bad employee go.

6. The boss feels sorry for the employee.

In such cases, a boss is sympathetic to the employee, and not to those whom the employee's actions may be hurting.

The boss may worry that if the bad employee is fired, he or she won't be able to find another job. If the employee needs the money to support a family, has health problems, or has recently experienced another life challenge, the boss may feel it's best to let the employee keep the job.

7. The boss doesn't want to go through the hiring process.

It takes time to review applications, conduct interviews, check references, and train a new person. The boss may believe it's easier to deal with the consequences when the bad employee messes up rather than deal with hiring a replacement.

8. The employee knows something.

The employee might know something embarrassing about the boss, but it's more likely he or she simply knows historical information that the company needs today. For example, if the employee is the only one who knows how to operate an ancient piece of equipment that the company still uses, your employer may need to keep the employee around.

9. The employee has everybody fooled.

In their book "Snakes in Suits," Paul Babiak, Ph.D. and Robert D. Hare, Ph.D., explain that a surprising number of workplaces employ psychopaths.

While psychopaths make up 1 percent of the general population, Babiak and Hare found that 3.5 percent of the executives they worked with "fit the profile of the psychopath."

Psychopathic employees are pathological liars who get away with doing little or no work. They charm senior management with their "leadership potential," con co-workers into covering for them, and successfully blame others for their mistakes.

If you're the only one who sees what they're up to, you're in a tough spot. Sometimes it's the whistle-blower who gets fired, not the snake.
10. He or she is not really a bad employee.

So what if a co-worker sometimes works from home, takes long lunches, or does something else you don't think is fair -- as long as his or her work gets done.

If you're not the supervisor, you're not personally affected, and the employee is not hurting anyone such as customers or co-workers, stop stressing over what he or she does and focus instead on your own work.
