This is bullshit. Uh-huh.

So today at work someone got fired. Someone I really liked.

 

Someone who I observed over the last few yrs get slowly set up essentially.

It could have easily been avoided if the ppl in charge weren't inept managers.

This is the 2nd support staff member who has been canned in the last 6 months. Sends a pretty clear message to the rest of us that we are disposable. 2 people have also left and gone on to other jobs and there is a handful more desperately looking to get out of there. Toxic working environment currently. Very disappointing.

I have been a manager...hated it! It was very clear to me after managing staff that to be a good manager you really do have to have training along with a cool head/common sense...oh and not be an asshole. There is that little helpful quality.

Lawyers managing staff is about as abysmal as abysmal can get.

People are very upset. In a non-union environment (gov't excluded ministry) this sort of shit is tough to ignore. This would never have happened in a union environment...especially some of the bulldozing and rule breaking/manipulation that has gone on.

So yah....fuck you all.

Work has now become a "go in, do your job and get outta there - dissent shall prove fatal" situation.

Listened to Thomas Mulcair on the CBC today....absolutely loved hearing him get real and be personable...I am holding out hope of all hope that the NDP can nab this next Canadian federal election and kick the Cons out on their privileged, fear mongering asses. They are making a mockery of this country. I just do not know what I will do if the election goes sideways...I cannot even think about it. I will cry....so.fucking hard.
