Yup, it's time to go...
The beginning of the end has arrived here at my job.
My boss (and everyone else here) finally got what they wanted, and they went and fired our director of construction. This morning. As opposed to Friday.
Bastards.
He's a good guy, the now former director of construction. He knows how to get stores built, how to deal with the people that were actually doing the construction, and when to bust some balls and get the job done. He's a realist - a pragmatist. He has a great sense of humor. But mostly, he's the right guy for the job. Unfortunately, every decision he's ever made has been scrutinized and challenged and criticized by people who don't have a fucking clue about the work that he does. He is not a "yes man," bowing and scraping to the powers that be. If something ain't gonna work, he'll tell you in no uncertain terms that it ain't gonna work. And because my boss is a spineless sniveling ignorant piece of crap who looks dumber and dumber every day, they butted heads. All. The. Time. Yeah, it sucked a lot, and it was not very productive at all, but someone had to be the person to hand out the reality checks here, and that was our construction guy.
For crying out loud, he's got one kid in a private college, one kid starting private high school in the fall, and he's got custody of his niece. It's not fair. And he hasn't done anything around here to warrant getting fired. Not "playing nice" with the people around here because it's not in the best interest of the company is not a reason to be fired.
I am...pissed off doesn't even begin to describe it. All I know is that I need to expedite my exit strategy. I need to be out of here ASAP. I don't want to continue working for a company where the right people for the job get fired or get fed up and leave simply because they refuse to kiss ass. I am not, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be a kiss ass, and I don't belong here.
I have to figure something out, and soon. Hopefully when I leave, I'll have the chance to say something about how I really feel about this whole situation. Probably not. And if I did, it wouldn't get to the right ears any way.
Yeah, it's really time to get the fuck out of Dodge.
