- What no one could have realized is that the country would grow to have more than 300 million people. - David Dec 16, 12:43 12
  - that's part of the problem for sure. You have a ridiculously small number of members of the House. - Reagen Dec 16, 13:16 4
    - Though how a legislative body with 1600 members would function is an interesting thought experiment. - Roger One Dec 16, 13:26 3
      - Do they do it that way in India? -- nm - Max Dec 16, 13:30 2

Here's my boss's idea of cost cutting. - Max Dec 16, 12:26 32
- I was enrolled in the Jam of the Month Club? What the fuck? -- nm - Leaving Employee Dec 16, 16:43
- If I were that employee, I'd call in sick Monday. -- nm - Amanda Dec 16, 13:53
- well, at least that'll make his decision to leave feel even more like the correct one. -- nm - b. Dec 16, 13:21
- so he quit? fuck him -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 12:59 5
  - He got an offer from another company, accepted, and gave us four weeks notice last month. -- nm - Max Dec 16, 13:00 4
    - so...he quit...he should have timed it better -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 13:01 3
      - in alot of jobs he would have been escorted off the premises as soon as he gave notice.... -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 13:05 2
        
        We may be the minority but I agree with you. -- nm - Bacon Dec 16, 16:45
        
        and, being as he was not, that would indicate they wanted/needed him there for a transition period. -- nm - Andie Dec 16, 13:16
- Clark Griswold was counting on that money. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 12:53
- Meh. He's leaving. - JaxSean Dec 16, 12:41 14
  - this -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 12:59
  - Boss behavior doesn't have to be Scrooge behavior. -- nm - Max Dec 16, 12:58 6
    - It sends a message to every employee about how they'll be treated if they leave. - Roger One Dec 16, 13:13 2
      - Well, it sends a message to me, I guess. The other employees don't know. -- nm - Max Dec 16, 13:15 1
        
        ...yet. -- nm - Roger One Dec 16, 13:18
    - See, i see that as a thank you for the work you've put in over the year, he put in the work. -- nm - Andie Dec 16, 13:02 2
      - Yes, this. -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 16, 13:16
      - also, most important in my eyes, is that this one check won't do a damn thing to help us cut costs in the broad view - Max Dec 16, 13:05
  - Yeah, some of this falls on the employee. It's not a contractual benefit like insurance but he should have factored this when choosing his departure d -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 12:56 5
    - Though alternatively, if the employee were to take their bonus and then announce "so long, I've taken another job" that would be a scumbag move. -- nm - Roger One Dec 16, 13:05 3
      - I'm wondering what the situation would have been if he'd given January 1 (or December 26) as his last day. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 13:08 2
        
        The same, I think. Cheques today, he's here until Thursday. -- nm - Roger One Dec 16, 13:14 1
        
        True that. If you're around when the checks are being given out, you should get a check. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 13:43
    - so, don't leave until you are sure you've got your bonuses - crash davis Dec 16, 13:01
- Total dick move. -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 16, 12:40 1
  - agreed, TDM -- nm - crash davis Dec 16, 12:41
- that's not okay. -- nm - Andie Dec 16, 12:35
- What an asshole. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 12:34
- your boss is a jive turkey. -- nm - Jim Harbaugh Dec 16, 12:34
- That's a hostile act. -- nm - David Dec 16, 12:33
- despicable -- nm - decline Dec 16, 12:28
DEER!!!! -- nm - Spawn Dec 16, 12:17 4
- Don't get weird, ok? -- nm - Deer Dec 16, 12:20 2
  - I have not watched the latest episode. - Spawn Dec 16, 12:24 1
