The bastards didn't give me flowers.....
In my old section, they gave somebody who was promoted there a cake, a dozen roses, and half the office called in to hear the supervisor wish congratulations.

when I left that section, after 10 years(?) I got nothing. And they knew about it for weeks. Nothing. No simple congrats or nothing.

I know in the grand scheme of things this shouldn't be important, but I did a lot of crap in that section,and all I got from abuse/bullying from certain people (now retired but there are a few bad people still there)

Intellectually I know this doesn't matter, but it still pisses me off.

2. Well, that wasn't nice of them at all.
You deserved at least some small recognition. :)

lots of people have gotten promotions there, and I think they noticed (I heard a couple comments) about how things are done for some people and not others....

I'm just getting sick of office stupidity.

I try to stay above all that BS at the office.

I'm sure it was just an oversight, but we all deserve some kind of recognition. Hope this lifts your spirits.

10. Intellectually it may not matter but I understand
the emotional aspect of it. You gave them ten years of your life and a gesture of appreciation would have been nice.

Will a DU hug help, DK?

:hug:

13. You're welcome. BTW, I think the streetlamp got the better of our little
conflict.

14. U R on a higher level, yet, you are upset for being treated lower level.
I understand.

I have some great advice for you. It works.

Kill them with kindness and reasonableness. Recognize their needs. Talk to them about them. Be giving. Be positive. You can catch more flies with honey, rather than vinegar.

Who is it all about?

I'm just sayin'.

Luv ya,

Floog

15. Office behavior can be so irritating and insulting....Push away and
be glad you're away from those losers.

you can only call them bastards when Kenny dies. Until then, you may call them even worse names.
