@Carmie 

 

Your post about the interviewing boss with his shoes / socks on the desk brought back a vivid memory.

 

Serious issues with my IT boss that impacted all 20 of my programmers, so I advised my boss that I was scheduling a private meeting with his boss.  Spent a weekend laying out all the issues with supporting details on a yellow legal pad.

 

( This was when very few women were at this management level and pantsuits were new. ) As soon as I sat down for this meeting, legal pad in hand, the upper boss sat back in his chair and put his polished shoes on his desk.  I sat back and placed my polished shoes on his desk.  No words were spoken.  The young fellow smiled. I smiled and launched into the first topic.

 

On seeing the legal pad, he asked if he could have it; I said  no and that he would have to listen carefully.  He did.  He told me not to worry as my reputation was stellar and my next assignment was close at hand.  I advised him I was more concerned about the vindictiveness of my boss and how he would withhold increases and hold back promotions for them.

 

After the lengthy meeting as I had my hand on the door, he said he would never have advised a woman to do what I had just done but I handled it better than any guy could have.     Amen !

And Q wonders why it's facing financial ruin. In addition to gutterish behavior and constant repetition, they need step up the class in behavior, verbiage, talk, and presentations.  


 

"Financial ruin", lol.  Restructuring is going well, but so many of you are just begging for them to fail.  I just don't get it.

I like her show, although I missed it last night.  It's very popular.

 

People who are offended by everything probably shouldn't watch.


We don't.

And the advertisement for her menopause Monday show where she says "one ****** at a time" is a major turn off time. I will never watch any of her shows, And if QVC is counting on Kim Gravel to save them then they are already gone!!!

And someone has replaced the word VA**** with stars. So if I can't use the word here, how can she get away with using it on TV?

Use the plural.  No need to fear a perfectly acceptable word.
