I am so bored

Posted by hannahbanana Posted on: 11/04/09

I am so bored

OMG, REALLY?! I am so bored right  now.

So, I'm going to tell you a story. It's a story about a girl who gets a job as a Project Manager at a new company a few weeks ago.

This girl, let's just call her "Banana" joined up all excited and wide-eyed! Ready for the test!

When she got there, however, she learned that the manager of one of the other contracting firms with whom she was working was a TOTAL FUCKING ASSHAT, and was trying to get her pregnant employee fired. We'll just call that asshat, "ASSHAT," and we'll call the employee, "Izzy."

Well, Asshat doesn't like Izzy, so he sent our Banana an email stating that she should review Izzy's work history, as it is deficient, and that she should consider the fact that Izzy is pregnant when evaluating Izzy's place on the contract.

Banana was shocked! "Why! That's a violation of Izzy's civil rights!" she thought, and sent back an email replying that Izzy's work, and ONLY Izzy's work, would constitute the basis for review.

This did not please Asshat, and he continued to approach, not just Banana, but Izzy, and intimidate her to leave.

Finally, it got to the point where Asshat started saying that the Customer wanted Izzy gone... not just because she was pregnant, but also possibly because of her race.

This blew Banana's mind.

Banana forwarded all of her emails, as well as Izzy's account of her interactions with Asshat, to Banana's boss. The customer got wind of being called racist and misogynistic, and was none too please with ol' Asshat.

Keep in mind that ALL Banana wanted to do was to make the harassment stop... but she overshot her mark.

"I WANT THE ENTIRE COMPANY *GONE*" thundered the customer, when referring to Asshat's company. "Not just Asshat, the whole shebang! I want Banana to take over!"

Banana dropped in her chair, and felt very much like the end of "The Chronicles of Riddick," where the main character has been fighting so hard just to have some peace, and suddenly turns around to find that he's running an entire kingdom. "You keep what you kill," is what his enemies say.

Banana didn't mean to kill the company... but I guess she gets to keep the promotion!
