Well, at least in the speaking department. My sister and law is leaving a business for a new job. This is her last week. The firm she works for is extremely snobby and the employees are really rude which is part of why she decided to leave. Today, she was leaving to go to lunch and one of her co-workers (a woman she had worked with on one project who drove my sister in law to tears) sung at her in a snotty voice, "Quitter, quitter, quiiiiter..." Then, another co-worker walked in and he said, "You know that quitters never win and winners never quit." They were SERIOUS! She said, "I'm not quitting. I'm just moving on." They rolled their eyes at her then. I don't know about you guys, but I would have freaked out! I mean, that would have been enough for me to go across the desk at someone. That is just amazing to me. ------------------ How the hell should I know why God would allow the Holocaust. I don't even know how the electric can opener works. - from Hannah and Her Sisters
I would have hit him too btw: from you description of the employees it seems like she's going from McDonnell's to Burger King ------------------ Agent

That is unbelievable! I'll tell you what, when I start my own business if I have employees acting like that I'm going to read them the riot act. That is just childish and irresponsible, and just gives the business a bad reputation. ------------------ "Instruments are like women: After a while, you want to make love to another." - Nicolas Godin of the musical duo Air [This message has been edited by RocksMillenium (edited July 11, 2001).]

Your sister should have responded immediately by saying, "Yea, & losers never take a chance. See ya, wouldn't wanta be ya." People like that always remind me of a bucket of crabs. They always try to pull you back into their misery, because they don't have the cajones to step out & take a chance. They are the true quitters, because they quit on themselves. ------------------ Nothing is impossible, if you believe it's possible.

Both her coworkers are decidedly older than she is. The woman is in her early 40's and the guy is in his mid 30's. She is 25. ------------------ How the hell should I know why God would allow the Holocaust. I don't even know how the electric can opener works. - from Hannah and Her Sisters
Tell them they can keep being winners at half her salary. lol. That'll make them feel really good. ------------------ "I'll tell you this, the older I get, the less I trust people. It's true. It's damn true." -- gr8-1 going through some growing pains.
I guess they REALLY did not want her to go Does it affect them somehow? more work Less money sheesh If this was my bball team and someone quit because we were losing. . I'd crack on them a little but a Job? pul lease Rocket River ------------------
I just pity her co-workers. They're grown adults and are resorting to namecalling and petty insults as if they were 12 year olds. It's not even immature; it's just sad. I'm praying that they aren't parents. [This message has been edited by WickBrunson (edited July 12, 2001).]
Doesn't sound like a true workplace to me.... COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL WHO WOULD WANT TO WORK WITH A BUNCH OF SNOBBY ARSE BIYATCHES ANYWAY?!?!?!?? ------------------
I would have reacted in one of two ways: Good Kagy would have smiled and said, "It's been nice working with y'all. Take care." However, Good Kagy sleeps 23 hours a day and as such, would probably not have been available in this instance... ...leaving the response to Bad Kagy. Bad Kagy would have probably replied, "And assholes never change. What's your point?" ------------------ "It's a funny thing, 'friends' You got beginnings and you got ends I guess I'll see you when we're ashes again-- Chris Robinson
Jeff, if I was in your sister-in-law's shoes, I would have taken a nice 3-4 hour lunch that day (cocktails included), gone home that night and cooked myself a nice dinner, got a good night's sleep, and called the firm the next morning informing them that yesterday was my last day of employment there. ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker
