He stole my idea

I had a great idea for streamlining some of the tasks that we have to do as part of our everyday testing. It involved using standardized automation tools to automate some of the more repetive tasks that we have to do often. Just when I was starting to get some traction in getting it all working right another co-worker (the one with his own office for naps) started putting it down in front of my manager and said that he could right a better tool using Python. Can you believe that?

Does he know my name?

I just noticed today that the owner of the company never addresses me by name. Is it possible that he hasn't even bothered to learn it? Or perhaps it's some sort of hierarchy thing. I don't know but it seems kind of strange for a management team that cares so much about it's employees.

Return of the bonus

My boss pulled me aside this morning and told me that they've been quite happy with my work this year. As a result they are issuing me a bonus check later this week for over one thousand dollars! Yahoo!

Disappointment

No sooner did I write that all the bosses were here then they all disappeared for the rest of the day. No bonus checks came. Christmas has been ruined and I am depressed.

Bonuses are coming soon

It's 3:30 on a Friday and ALL the bosses are in the office. I think that can only mean one thing - bonus checks will be in our hands soon!

Bonus!!!!!!

There is a rumor circulating around the company that we'll be getting bonus checks tomorrow just in time for Christmas and Christmas shopping. What a great perc and how considerate of them to get it to us before Christmas. I wonder how much it's going to be?

Company meeting short

Since all of the bosses are NITO, the required company meeting this morning was quite short. In fact, there was hardly time to sit down before it was adjourned. Many of the developers grumbled about coming in early for no reason. Shouldn't they be getting to work by 10 a.m. anyway?
