So, I get a 'theoretical' bonus check

... and its about a third of what it was last year. So basically, I got screwed out of anything that I DESERVED from last year. I think back to all the arguing and all-out fighting I did for this thankless company, and that's how they repaid me. And so Dale tells me that some people didn't think I deserve anything. I think those people need to have a word with me about that, and I'll let them know whay I deserved more thean they did this year. Saved this place over $1.5 Million from the posted transaction prices, last year alone. Thats how they say "thanks, you really worked hard, and we appreciate it." And the best part is that they won't even give me the check until they know I am leaving, and have been whatever their version of a 'good boy' is. Being that they never provided the conditions for this check to be given to me, it is highly unlikely that they will give it to me anyways, so I really shouldn't hold much hope on that. It will be their last 'we got you.', and what the hell, why not. If it makes them feel better, that's what matters I guess...

Of course the odds of me providing any awareness of problems that they should be aware of in Purchasing or computers is pretty bad now too. They ain't getting shit out of me.

Hey Tommy, at least Dale said about you "Tommy has quite a promising future."

It is starting to make me wonder if I really should have Frank as a reference. Maybe he is far more bitter about this than I thought. And I can't use Dale, just listen to him talk crap about peeople that are no more than 15 feet away from him, and you know he is unreliable for providing good feedback to nearly nobody.

If the theory is true, that Frank is even more bitter about this than the other 2 heads of the "Dragon," perhaps the good faith I held in not going to EPI, is misplaced.
