Awesomeness Abounds

You know what's really fucking awesome? When an "Executive Assistant" who is very careful to always let everyone know how above them she is because of this title (which means nothing, other people are assistants to executives, they just don't care about titles here - but she insisted on this being hers I believe) never has anything to do because she's so bad at her job that people don't trust her and give her work to everyone else.

Her response to this is not to be proactive and ask for work or, I don't know, do a better job, which I guess is just beyond her. Her response is to mope and feel sorry for herself and complain about how she doesn't understand why no one will give her any work.

When they finally figure out how totally crappy she is at her job and fire her, do they send her away same-day as most places do every place I've ever worked? No, they give her FOUR MONTHS to find a new job and tell her that she can take time off to interview, or more specifically, she can come and go "as she pleases". Meanwhile, all the rest of us are still doing her work, she continues to get paid significantly more than all of us, and she works about 20 hours a week. I'm also quite sure she'll be milking every second of those four months.

AWESOME.
