I was in the middle of the front row when the vice president convened the "meeting". It's not like he hasn't heard from me before. I would simply join them at coffee or lunch in the cafeteria and they never had the balls to send me away. I would remind them occasionally that the employees were smart enough to know what was really going on, politely, of course. They eventually got used to me. Anyway, he said that the company wanted to let the employees know that their creativity was the basis for a good financial year and they wanted to  promote imaginative solutions so to show others what they meant by 'creative solutions", we were meeting here today. He asked how you would create a source of money from nothing to start a new business? And, no solution was off the table. He then asked a few employees in the auditorium what they would propose to create a source of funding from essentially nothing. Very few had any idea of where to start. He made the horrible mistake of asking me next! Without hesitation and with great candor, I turned to the pretty woman next to me and said, "I would sell her body!". (You have to remember the times were different then) She blushed and wiggled a little in her seat. She was quite attractive! And, dare I say appeared to be flattered! The idiot in charge then said to all, "See! That's the kind of creativity I am talking about!". It went down hill from there.  One time we employees were organized into groups and sent to HR to hear just how the company was going to screw us again, but differently this time. MY group was jammed into a meeting area while the HR Rep proceeded to tell us how our annual performance reviews would be performed. We would do a paper on just what we thought we had accomplished throughout the year, and list our failings that we could work to correct the following year. They dragged this out for a while telling us that then the management would also tell us what our deficiencies were and we would be rated on a scale which was to be related to our potential for raises. Some categories got no raise. Those people had 12 months to improve their rating or be subject to a "reduction in force". When asked for questions, I raised my hand first. I was acknowledged, then asked my question. My question was: "What was the matter with the old system?" The HR Rep looked puzzled and asked me what the "old" system was? I told her that we were hired to perform in our job. If we performed well we were rewarded with a cash remuneration at the years end. If we didn't perform to expectations we were fired! The HR people looked at each other and didn't have an answer, however, I got shouts of approval and encouragement from most attending this farce. We were then disbanded without and further Bull ****. Now we all knew that the reason for the change was to create a paper trail in HR to allow management to simply point to, when they decided they could get talent at a cheaper price than the employees who had been there many years. It didn't change anything, but did add to my "popularity" with my management. I was once told that if I didn't do something, I could be fired. I told them to then fire me, since I was looking for a job when I found this one! I have no idea why, but, I worked there for slightly over 40 years, till I retired with a pension. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
