Last week the boss in Pennsylvania sent a bunch of yarn to my boss. The idea was that we were supposed to make little pom pom dolls together as a team building experience and it addressed stress. The boss gave all the yard to one woman and said make these... Tea building is LOST on this boss. Sigh. Then we were to have a luncheon and take photos showing the Pennsylvania boss us and the dolls. We had to buy our own lunch and the boss picked the place to order from but the Vietnamese coworkers decided to order from some place else bur did not tell me and the older woman... so much for a team...

The thing that bothered me was the boss explaining the stress doll thing to the Vietnamese coworkers mostly because she kept going on about how we have nothing to be stressed over... nothing at all. I did say, well I am actually stressed over things and she said that I was only dressed because I have that personality and that I have no reason to be stressed. That irked me... and to be honest hurt my feelings... but to me proves that no matter how hard I try to do things to be nice (like the nativity set she is making for Christmas...I am only charging cost for it and I have to carry it back and forth on the trains) she just does not respect me and that she can't see that the team is stressed as everyday we fear loosing our jobs.

A second thing that bothered me was her arrogance...

but there is really nothing to be done about it

I am taking a couple days off the first week in November just because I am stressed and need a break.

WOW, she just really does NOT get it does she? Talk about clueless.

If I didn't know you and know you're telling the truth about these whackjobs, I would never believe you. Some of the things that happen just seem so strange!

I mean, I 100% believe you. But some of the shit that goes down there is just astonishingly bad.
