No Damn Wonder No One Sticks Around

One of the new labor market war cries is that the new generation has no sense of employer loyality. Well, can you blame them? I don't care what anyone says, seniority is a greater liability than an asset. Gone are the days when employers recognized the value of experience that comes with longevity. Now, senior employees are nothing more than a payroll burden.

I just got royally fucked by my own seniority -- again. Bad enough Senorita Psycho, the incompetent interior designer wench, shitcanned me for allegedly not knowing my job ... the same fucking work I've been doing for the last 24 years. The same work she knows absofuckinlutely nothing about. Now they went and cashed out my accrued leave balances and, in their infinite generosity, will give it to me in a lump-sum payment. Great. Now I get to pay a shitload of taxes back to the same govt operation that just got through shoving it up my ass sideways.


Seniority & Outstanding Performance Means Nothing

This sucks beyond major suckage. Twenty-four years working up thru the ranks ... sixteen in the healthcare & scientific research facilities maintenance field (emphasis on HVAC systems), last eight in facilities management. Same employer the whole time ... excellent attendance & performance reviews the whole way. Until this week. Everything came to a screeching halt thanks to a supervisor with absolutely no physical maintenance background. Bottom line, I got shitcanned for not knowing enough about facilities HVAC maintenance and project management ... by a supervisor with an interior decorator background, on the job for only 1-year.
