When I started this blog, it was meant as a outlet for me to get things off my chest and it has developed into something a bit more entertaining. I want give a big Thanks to all that read my 'Crazy'! .... and this blog is still my outlet.
Speaking of CRAZY! I recently left a company to pursue a new opportunity (and I must admit the change was well overdue). So in this previous organization, I attended a meeting before my exit, where a member of the Executive Management team for my department was speaking. This person was speaking about recent promotions and why decisions were made. So, this Executive person recently promoted several people on our team - all non-American born - and each possessed accents from their native land. The explanation given for these promotions was:
"This gives our clients the impression that we are a global company [during conference calls]."
One of these people promoted, I trained, as this person was new to the industry - and was now the person I reported to - WTF! On the day of this meeting, I realized that no matter what I do for this company; for this department; for my team - my worth just went down the toilet because I am an American with a mid-western accent. After the meeting I sat at my desk and could not do anymore work for the day. I could not believe this person opened their mouth and made that statement (with a fucking smile)!
All I can say is, if you enjoyed this little snippet from my work-life, get ready because the shit gets better and funnier. There are some dumb-asses running corporate america - just a comedy show in waiting!
Peace be with you!
