Mgmt “you can’t promote the good hands, need them where they are.”
Me “ what happens when they give up and leave?”
Mgmt “ we’ll get more.”
That happened to me after 30 years on the job. The job I did took at least 10 years to be highly proficient, way too many technical issues, legal principals, case law, and contractual language to be able to master it quickly. The 3 to 5 year people thought they knew everything, kind of like teenagers that think they know everything. We had a change of CEO's and the new guy is a bean counter that had never done the job before. He only looks at pie charts, graphs and numbers. Executive realized anyone with more than 20 years made a lot of money. We were also the glue that held things together, we knew how to get things done, and had built long term relationships with contractors, vendors and service providers. They started harassing long term employees trying to get us to quit. They finally reorganized and did away with my position but kept the 3 new guys. I made more than all 3 of them combined, they figured if they needed to they could hire 2 people to replace me and be money ahead. They also stripped benefits from new hires. When they did away with my job they pigeonholed me in a job no one wanted figuring I would quit, which I did. I retired 4/1 of last year, and after 30 years of service I only get 75% of my pension because I was only 58. During the farewell speech at my retirement party I told my boss, the Senior VP and the Executive VP they should have kept me because it would have been cheaper to keep me than get rid of me.

The good part of the story is, I was only retired 11 days. I was in Montana fishing the Flathead River with my dad and brother when the calls started coming in. The service providers I had worked with for years found out I left my previous job and wanted to hire me. I now work for the largest service provider and have increased their billing statements to my previous employer by 4.5 times what my annual salary and benefits would have cost them if they kept me.

BTW, they have hired and either fired or had quit 5 people for my previous position since I left on 4/1/2020.

Am I bitter, fuck yes I am.
 

When I would work triage in a busy ER, seeing over 100 walk-in patients in 12 hrs, there were many times it was better to write in the Triage note “Patient states” and then follow with a direct quote.
There were some doozies.

Gives the nurse and NP or Dr and good idea whats up before going into the room before walking in.

From vibrators up the keister to concerns of an STD due to seeing “goo” on his junk during sex to “this has been hurting for 8 months. Im going on a trip tomorrow and wanted to get it fixed before I go.”
 
When I was an insurance adjuster I worked a claim where the officer had the involved parties write out statements of their version of events. One of the classy ladies involved repeatedly referred to the other driver as “dat bitch” in her written report. 🤣
Had a chick make a right turn on a red light in front of me. 4 lane road. She wrote "I made a wild turn". Cop didn't cite either of us (he was retiring the next week). He let me take a picture of her written statement. That really helped as I was on the company truck.
