if it is an audit i go as far as having my pubes straightened

it is the fear word

take yee no chances

Well for every other inventory observation jeans and a polo have been fine since I usually have to count warehouse inventory, farm equipment, lumber, etc (I live in south Georgia so we aren't always expected to be exceedingly formal for these types of activities).  The audit client called and bitched directly to the partners so I got nailed.  I'm not overly worried though.  The mistake cost me about $360 and I'm on the shit list, but at least I have the free time to practice the guitar and I signed up to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity on Saturday. :rock

i got fired on wednesday for refusing to pay my boss $28.25's to recover the amount from a missing check and by poining out the fact that what he's asking was not only illegal, but a form of blackmail.

though... as i was walking out, he rehired me but he stripped me of my managerial position but i'll be receiving the same pay.

should've settled for unemployment and a hefty settlement check =/

Apparently.  Like I said, every other inventory observation I have attended, jeans have been fine.  I guess this audit client didn't like it. And the client stranded my coworker and I in North Carolina (their corporate jet had to get repairs and it couldn't be flown back to Georgia).  We had to buy a ticket back to Atlanta then drive back home and that cost me $410 (which I'll get reimbursed, but not for another 2 weeks).  It's a bunch of bullshit and I think there was an overreaction, but there is nothing I can do.

I plan to lay low and not talk to anyone.  I'm gonna start studying for the CPA exam and hopefully I'll have my license by the end of the year and I will be able to find a better job.

i just found out today that i was basically demoted to save the ass of both the executive director and his colleague. they ordered more then they should've without consulting me first and we simply don't have the money to pay the bills so they take the one thing they could use against me. i guess they kept my pay to same because they felt guilty.

oh well. non profits and embezzling ftw

Updated thread title to reflect current events.  Apparently one of the audit clients that bitched about my jeans also bitched that I said something behind her back about talking too much.  She got that info second hand and I don't recall that.  Basically, I got thrown under the bus.

Then the audit partners called me in and put me on probation and said they were going to make a list of items for me to improve on.  We've been at odds about my haircut and I mentioned that might be a sticking point.  My partner called me in and fired me.  Kinda ironic because I was one of the best workers, too.  The partners even admitted it.

Kinda sucks and I'm down right now, but I'm studying for the CPA exam.  This might work out for the best.

I lost a bid on a website contract because my outfit to the meeting was apparently not business enough. Never fucking mind that it was Matinique clothing, but hey.

It's long, I concede, but it seems so petty in the grand scheme of things.

How exactly are jeans tied to your performance?

They aren't, but at the same time I understand that giving a good impression to a client is important.  I fucked up big time and learned my lesson.

Sounds like they needed a reason to get rid of folks, fast.

Not really.  I REALLY pissed off the client, and was thrown under the bus to appease them.  The audit fee is more important than my job. :P

Upper and middle management folk still stick by that stuff. I was passed over on promotions at an old job, despite having seniority and being known as a good employee. It was the DM cockblocking me, because he came in one day and saw me with long hair and corduroy pants. He decided that I was the one stealing from the store as well and was 'just waiting to catch me.'

It was shit, so I left the place. Then after I did, I was informed that the people who were stealing were the two employees he had just promoted over me. They were doing it on night shifts together. A lot of people knew about it, but didn't say anything. Nobody told me about it, because they thought I would bust them.

And all because management can't evaluate people beyond a pair of pants and a haircut.
