Victory Coffee

 

I love this movie. I gave up on Hollywood crap, and this was the final nail in the coffin.

Your Notebook of Evil

I am a Human Resources professional. It says so on my card. 

Now I have staff refusing to come to work because of road blockades.  I know they would prefer to work at home, so the high pH opinion of The Boss is that this is an excuse, evidence of mutiny. In his perfectly correct mind, these people are mutineers. He is allowed to spout offensive words and opinions: he has video of himself at the Pride parade, so Labor law does not apply. 

The few who made it into work yesterday (their scheduled 'work from the office day') spent a considerable amount of time researching the issue. What do you do if you are attacked in your car? What do you do? they want to know. They did no actual work. More dust on the files in the in baskets.

The collective opinion is that it is futile to reach out to Law Enforcement about the question about what to do if you are having your car pounded on by masked protestors. There is a diversity of reasons they do not trust Law Enforcement:

1) They come from a culture where you do not trust Law Enforcement, period.

2) They say that Law Enforcement has bent the knee (or brought coffee) to criminals, and cannot be trusted.

3) They say that Law Enforcement is rife with factions. The response to crime is contingent on the personal whims of the constable involved. 

They provided a considerable amount of paper from their research into the truth of points 2) and 3) above. I forget what happened to this report; and there are no fingerprints of mine on it, anyway. I wear gloves at my desk to prevent Covid. 

To complicate things, the senior manager over this group of departments (not The Boss, the guy subordinate to The Boss), has used his position of power to arrange a permanent 'work from home' status. The rumor mill has it that he has moved back to his homeland nation and has repurposed his Toronto condo into an undocumented 'AirBnB' revenue stream. This is another reason that his staff hate his guts. Some of the staff are studying ninjutsu, a martial art, to work off stress. 

OK. So begins the second week that the General Ledger is 'out of balance', and the various sub systems (Loans and Deposits) will only close out with a lavish number of single sided accounting entries. This is generally accepted by the secret combination of programmers who do these things, as well as The Boss, who refuses to make himself look bad to The Man because the books are out of whack, now out of whack for quite a few days. Should be a full month soon.  Month end is being prepared for fudging.  

I am glad that The Boss is willing to use his line editor to make the books look balanced. Those printed reports that go to The Man are truthy. The computer data, not quite the same. The senior mutineer, who provides the technical expertise in single sided entries, is proud of blackmailing The Boss into withholding his wrath on the mutineers. I trained him myself. 

As for the idea that staff can make a killing off of short selling the stock of their employer, I have no recollection, and nothing in writing, and never any of my fingerprints on anything. Timing is everything in the market, eh?

I, Fenris Badwulf, wrote this. I care.
