How Ridiculous!

A friend of mine whom I worked with at my old place of employment sent me an e-mail this morning. She informed me that the owner (aka The Petty Tyrant) is going to film a commercial with a local TV station, as well as record one for am radio.

How did I respond to this?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! HOW RIDICULOUS!

Why do I laugh, you ask? Allow me to provide you with a list of my reasons why.

1. The company (which is run by The Petty Tyrant) is so far behind on payroll taxes they are in danger of being in serious trouble with the IRS.

2. The Clinical Coordinator, who was responsible for keeping the company's reputation in semi-good shape with customers and patients in the field has finally had enough and left the company.

3. The company can barely pay it's regular monthly bills due to the owner spending freely whenever she chooses from the company accounts. She buys new clothes, takes vacations (last year she took 8 vacations), and generally spends her money on other non-necessary things. How is she going to afford to pay for two commercials?

4. The employee's paychecks bounce. No, I am not kidding. My other friend who works there and has to support two children under the age of three by herself has had her paycheck bounce five times.

5. The owner will not know how to accommodate the new business should it actually be brought in as a result of these commercials. She drives all her nurses away with her obsessive-compulsive need for control, her enraged outbursts and her verbally abusive, condescending behavior (please see my previous blogs regarding this subject).

6. The owner and the person in charge of the finance department purposely defraud their employees of rightfully earned overtime and other wages, and they have been dishonest with their dealings with the IRS, and I am going to report them (I should have done it ages ago but have not gotten around to it). A commercial is not going to save them from their own unethical behavior.

That is why I think the idea of them spending money on commercials is absolutely ridiculous!
