Well, I suppose after today it's time I quit going home with a stiff neck from all the tension, and make a point tomorrow to speak to my good buddy, the HR Director.

You know what she did today? She sat in her office with the door wide open, and offered someone a job. She woooed the woman with all the wonderful benefits, and then said, "I know the salary isn't all the great, frankly, I'm ashamed to offer it to you, but it's all I could get for you. The offer is $18.08 per hour, which amounts to $37,606."

My jaw hit the floor. This is just another liason position, and I BARELY make $20k per year - and my boss had to step on toes to get even that much. I'm truly offended, and even a bit jealous. But I couldn't help but listen - after all, she's RIGHT here in front of me. After I heard the salary, I got up from my desk, and went to my boss (who is out of my immediate office area and cannot see or hear what goes on unless I tell her).  My boss was blown away, as well.... because Marge isn't even AUTHORIZED to make offers of employment. That's saved for the HR manager.

Oh, well.
