Let me out of here!
02.11.08 (2:39 pm)   [edit]
There is a presentation tomorrow in the office. One of the cruise lines’ sales team is going to do something, and then there will be snacks. However, it’s from 4:45 – 5:45. Our official office hours are 9 – 5. What kind of timing is that?

And to top it off, they’re locking the elevators during that time. I feel like it’s to lock us in, but they don’t want interruptions. We do get a lot of traffic, and our company gatherings are done in front of the elevator since there isn’t room anywhere to fit us all together.

I’ll either be taking the stairs or high tailing it out of there before 4:45. I usually leave at 4:50 for my bus.

I should start writing down items for things I may want to bring up during my exit interview. I’ll probably focus more on how things were with my boss rather than sharing what I think of the company.

I’ve been at my job 7 months now (hey, 1 month overdue for my salary review!), and I’ve been asked FOUR times for my birthday by FOUR different people (2 were the same position). The first three times were for the purposes of birthday celebrations. I am not sure the reason for the 4th time. I should have asked since even the year was required.

Wow sounds like a lame place. It's hard to find a good employer isn't it...so many have good intentions but then just somehow never get around to those reviews or those perks they promised.

Just dodge the meeting.

They seem more into recognizing your birthday then they do about your hard work and service!
What kind of company does that? To this day, none of the one's I've worked for even CARE about my birthday... lol (phat bonuses and raises trump that anyways!

Trust me, I'd rather get some moolah rather than a birthday card signed by the executive management team!
(Oh, and we also get to take our birthday off, too, but that wasn't mentioned in the employee handbook.)
