Dear Winfred; Dec. 6

Advice (NOT good!) column

Warning; advice given is NOT politically correct!

 

    "Dear Winifred, I have the worst job ever in the history of lousy jobs,  My boss is a tyrant who rules with an iron fist.  He works all his employees like dogs, and is always pushing to squeeze every last bit of productivity out of us.  He won't pay for vacations, and says if we don't like it, tough, sue him.  He claims that vacations and sick days are just used by us to get out of working.  We've tried to turn him in, but he uses creative bookkeeping whenever Labor and Industry comes around; everything on paper looks great, but the reality for us is a totally different matter.  I just don't know what to do; signed Desperate."

 

 

     "Dear Desperate, it sounds to me like you have a real chunk hole for a boss, and if I were you, which I'm definitely not, I'd think 'sabotage'.  Subtly screw up whatever product you're charged with producing, and hopefully he'll be a little more receptive to your complaints.  If some innocent people are injured or worse because of your sabotage, tough t*****s.  When he comes unglued, simply say the mistakes you made where the result of fatigue, because you never get vacation; unless he's your father or father in law, or some other relative, then all bets are off.  Winifred."

Okay that explains it.Winifred has spoken through your lips.:)

Well, on this issue, but many others I'm just trying to make it a little funny. Sometimes it's rooted in what I believe, at least in part, but other times not.

[Vidya Bacchus]

I understand:)

Winifred's advice won't work withthis boss. He can simply fire any and all of him employees and hire new ones. We don't live in a time whe n jobs are easy to get.

[Michael Stevens]

I'm sending Winifred to talk to you; maybe you can talk some sense into her; I sure can't!

[Marie]

Perish the thought!!!

[Michael Stevens]

Yep; she's something else; just what she is is hard to say!
