Let’s celebrate Liberty and stuff shirt
It was the longest flight with a sick stomach that I ever had. I remember a former co-worker who I thought was being rude exclusively to me. She was the receptionist at my then employer and would get into bad moods and slam down my mail on my desk. I asked her if she could please place it on my desk more quietly and she responded “Lalala” with her fingers in her ears like a little kid trying to tune out his parents. I tried to rise above it and ignored her for a while, hoping she would knock it off but she didn’t stop. I didn’t see her treating anyone else like that so I finally went to her boss, the office manager, asked for a private meeting, and told him I was having a problem with the receptionist. Here’s the key. I told him to negotiate a golden parachute clause. If the station succeeds and makes lots of money, they will sell it for a huge profit. The new owners never keep the old Program Director. Ask for in severance. They agreed! But it gets better because he is now unemployed in an industry with a tight job market, The state gave him money and agreed to retrain him on Microsoft certifications.
