    This has ‘and the whole train clapped’ energy.

    But, hopefully this legend really did this and has a great new gig lined up.

      I know what you mean. I can see some temp or young whippersnapper doing it though. People do tweet total lies though

    “Needless to say, Nigel, the entire club was in an uproar!”

    “Good heavens, Charles, you have such riveting experiences.”

      I really don’t like this kind of stuff… I became part of a company(through acquisition) that would do the evaluation through a buddy/mentor. So you jad to write your 3 goals of the next year, etc… and your buddy would present them in an open meeting (all mentors were there). The first ‘evaluation’ i only wrote as my goal, to look for another job. My poor buddy didn’t enjoy that, neither did my boss apparently. Yet still to this day i never spoke with that supposed to be boss…

      How they would ever think evaluations hold any value when they are disconnected and open to everyone that’s invited to the meeting is beyond me. I guess it was just basically so your buddy had to tell you you didn’t get a raise and you couldn’t even ask why not, because he wouldn’t know.

    Hahhah, last week a co-worker quit. Since it’s a big company usually only their department gets a good bye e-mail and a small “aperitif party.” But the dude wrote to the whole compay: a very passive aggressive but professional e-mail about how the company sucks.

        He basically said the company is very old fashioned, conservative and does not offer any benefits you’d expect for a company of its size as well as the coworkers should be more friendly to each other. He did it in a very indirect way always contrasting something possitive with something very negative that would tilt the scale to the negative.
