Bastard Employees

So my wife's company is currently undergoing a downsizing which just means people are being laid off left and right so that the company can reduce their costs. Fun fun fun! I have been through that before and it is not easy, it is an emotional roller coaster for everyone, however I do want to highlight and comment on the fact that her company wouldn't be going through this right now if they removed their cancerous employees. There are employees who have this arrogant air of self-entitlement just because they have been at the company for some magic number of years that is higher than 3. Chances are these same employees were never actually good to start with, the only thing they were good at was blaming others for their mistakes and like the saying goes, "The squeaky wheel gets the oil". I have seen it time and time again. The most annoying employees are female because for some stupid reason they get a pass on sounding annoying and being inappropriate because the stupid male manager looks at them and sees a damsel in distress. Meanwhile if a male employee tried to pull the same thing then nothing would be done or they would be fired. This is an issue for women to pony up on, stop being whiny twats and grow a metaphorical pair where your vagina is. It isn't fair that you can be emotional so that you can get your way in the work place just because you drain others of their sanity and the only way to get you to shut up is to give in to your stupid complaints, demands and blame of others for your short comings.

The point I am trying to make here is that my wife's company is stupid for letting this happen. They have been screwing up the delivery of their projects for some time now and it always comes back to poor oversight and poor management. If they had good oversight and management then those weak employees would be told to shape up or ship the fuck out. The ultimate reason they are in the shape that they are in is because of the weak, careless employees who just show up for a check. There is nothing wrong with showing up for a check if you do your job and you do it well. There is 100% something wrong with you just showing up to work and not doing your job, then blaming others for your lack of ethics and morals. Then those same worthless bitches that I described get pregnant and "Oh you can't fire a pregnant lady", even though she is/was doing a shitty job since before she got pregnant and she is actively slacking off at work looking for newborn related stuff all day and talking on the phone to her baby's daddy all day. I am not making this up. I know this is an extreme case, but for fuck's sake was this really a hard target? Was this really a person that was difficult to target for firing for all of the reasons I described. This person's work quality was mediocre at best as well. I won't get into the exact nature of the type of work to prevent giving away too much info.

I hate these kinds of scenarios, I have seen them in 3 different work places consistently, it is wrong. It is all wrong. Everyone is suffering because of just a select few morons. Then on top of that these same assholes don't get laid off, other hard working individuals do instead because they weren't as whiny and didn't have the audacity to blame others for their mistakes! They weren't blameless which is NORMAL! There is no such thing as being blameless in a work place, everyone makes mistakes. I would be strongly eyeballing the person who always claims that nothing is their fault and shifts the blame onto others - that person would be under my scrutiny and I would probably fire them if they continued to serve me excuses instead of results.

Fucking bastard employees.

Wedding Ring

I don't like wearing my wedding ring, it is annoying. This isn't me wanting to stay single or something I have been with my wife for 9 years, I am including the count of before we were married in that number. We might as well have been married already, just did the formalities recently is all.

Anyhow I digress, I don't like wearing my wedding ring to work I suppose because I keep taking it off to wash my hands after eating or going to the bathroom. I am afraid to lose it. My wedding band isn't that expensive either, it is very simple and plain and easily replaceable. So losing it would suck, but it isn't the end of the world. I have even offered getting a tattoo in place of thee wedding ring, I just don't like wearing jewelery. I guess I will wear it for special occassions and stuff, but not my style otherwise.

Turbulence Ahead

So my wife's company decided to cut everyone's pay by 20% because they lost some major contracts due to employee negligence and poor management. I love how a few bad apples spoiled this bunch, this is something that could be seen a mile away, but people would rather stick their heads in their asses instead of firing people who deserve to be fired. So now everyone is suffering a 20% pay cut. It sucks ass. The thing is this is a precursor to the layoffs to follow soon I am sure. So she is worried that she is going to be laid off.

I am slightly worried about the same thing really. I don't want to be laid off, but I can see it happening because of this fucking debt crisis. If the economy tanks, I will in all likely hood be laid off, which is understandable. I just don't know where I would want to go next. So yeah, bumpy and unhappy times ahead.

Goals Reiterated

I am just talking outloud here as usual.

I want to get this house
I want to pay down my student debt
I want to shift my current assets
I want to setup a retirement plan for my wife and me
I want to accumulate wealth as quickly as possible aside from the retirement plan

Something that is truely unfair is that saving money isn't as valuable as it seems. You save a large sum of money now and that money loses part of its value due to inflation/recession. This basically means that people need to invest their money but the problem with that is you could lose all of it because the assholes in government or the assholes in investment banking feel like fucking you over. I hate this shit. I want to find a safe investment. I know the riskier investments yield higher returns, but you could also lose it all.

Goals

Got the wedding out of the way.

Working on buying a home again. I need to get the hell out of the place I am living right now because my land lord is 100% unreliable and unreasonable. Fuck that twat.

Things appear to be going well with my prospective property, I am excited. I just need to get all of the fun stuff out of the way.

After the property is obtained then it is on to wealth building for retirement, paying off student debt and that's about it for huge expensive goals. Those goals are not in that order.

Smaller items are going to a dentist and finishing off this heart chaos. Then I will see about nose surgery to get my breathing corrected.

Post Labels

I decided to stop using post labels for an of my posts. I realized I don't care if people find anything on my blog, including me. This blog isn't for anyone, I didn't create it to get into arguments with internet trolls, I created it to just say exactly what is on my mind no matter how it sounds or even if it doesn't make any literary sense. I just don't care what anyone thinks because I am just trying to work out my thoughts and feelings out loud. I put this in a public blog because if anyone wants to comment or converse with me, then I am open to it. If people just want to make fun of me, I will just simply ignore them. It is as simple as that. I like talking, hence the long ass blog posts.

The other problem is I realized when I am writing posts here they are super hard to describe with labels. So I am just giving up on it unless I feel that a post warrants a label.

K that's it.

Re Focused

I am slightly more focused, I had a talk with my wife to try to work things out with me and she was as wonderful, beautiful and supportive as always.

I am going to somehow get back on track with all of my ideas. I was overwhelmed again and going through a bout of depression does not help at all. It actually just kind of ruins everything. I am going to have to write about it to get a full picture of what is going on with me and I guess to have something to show a doctor when I do eventually go.

I am feeling better today, but I am not sure if I am feeling better because I am or if it is the after affect of the psuedophedrine I had to take the other day. It usually is the sudafed.

Well whatever, time to go back to pretending to want to be at work.
