I left yesterday at my normal time (around 4pm). Yesterday was a bit odd for me in that I actually filled out a form so that I could use some vacation time! I also asked our HR person how much sick and vacation time I would have left after I took the four days I just asked for. Big deal, huh?
Big deal indeed!
The owner of our company came up here and had a conversation with my project manager, with whom I share an office:
Owner: Is Pete quitting? I heard he quit! PM: No, he just put in for vacation time, that doesn’t sound like he’s quitting to me. PM: Who told you he was quitting? Owner: Our HR person.
Owner: Is Pete quitting? I heard he quit!
PM: No, he just put in for vacation time, that doesn’t sound like he’s quitting to me.
PM: Who told you he was quitting?
Owner: Our HR person.
I’m laughing, a lot….
So apparently, when I asked to use vacation time and then asked how much do I have left, that means to our HR person, that you’re quitting.
This place gets more and more ridiculous everyday.
