You know that sinking feeling that you and the boss are going to have a "meeting"???? We just got back from vacation and before I left, I had the feeling me and the boss were gonna sit down. The guys at work said that he waits till 5 minutes before quittin' time to come in and fire you.
I hadn't seen or heard from the main boss all day. :confuse: I usually see him around 2:30 when he drops in from the main building to see how things are going.
I kept an eye one the time thinking he might drop in last minute for "the talk". :frown: I got tied up in what I was doing and wasn't paying attention to the clock till I heard his voice. :eeek:
He came in and asked what was going on. I went down the list, not thinking of what might be comming. it seemed like a regualr daily visit.
After our discussion, I went to put my nitrile gloves back on to finish the oil change on the E46 M3 I was working one when he stopped me.
"Don't put your gloves back on, we need to have a meeting."
He did the same thing w/ the last guy he gave some bad news to.
You coulda heard a pin drop as me heart fell straight down me throat and out me arse onto the floor.
The whole time I'm thinking, "I FREAKIN' KNEW IT !!!!!! I knew I shoulda taken the Ferrari out for hot laps durring lunch !!!"
Well.... we sit down and one of our sales reps stops in to see if we need any shop supplies. :madder: I looked at his samples briefly, then told him politely we were about to have a meeting and this wasn't a good time. I wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible.
We sit down and he started in on, "You've been here for blah blah blah, and done some good things we like, blah blah blah.... BUT..............you ask the #2 guy in the company too many questions on what he wants you to do w/ what's going on in the shop....SO...........................
......................we want you to be in charge of the shop! :thumbsup:
We don't have any problem w/ you performance nor do we worry about if what you think is the right decision. Just do what you think best and if we don't like it, we'll do it different next time. We know that everything you do will be done properly and w/ safety in mind. Bottom line; you're not going to do everything the way we want, so don't worry about it and just do it. We'll adjust as we go along and redo as nessissary." :laugh:
Man, what a relief !!!!
