My new secretary is making me want to put a bullet in my head...

Your on to something there. Bribe her into keeping job, but along with the cream puffs, she has to do her job.

I would load her down so bad she quit. I would just pile it on. Hell pull old stuff and make her redo. Give her three days work and tell her it needs to be done in one. Piss her off HR. Make her quit.

She said on Friday to the other secretary that she might not come back. I would feel no loss if she didn't.

Yeah hell, you'd be better off, less stressed, and you could always buy a few cream puffs and snacky cakes for the day. But have another secretary make the coffee. Why are secretaries so good at making the coffee? And why are women only secretaries?

I would consider hiring a male secretary/paralegal equally with the female applicants, but I honestly haven't even ever gotten one resume from a male. For some reason not many enter the field.

Actually, I DID, and they gave her great reviews. I think it is the likability factor.

She is going to our corporate office on today for training, and the other secretary told me that she said she planned on complaining about ME to the owners because she wasn't trained, etc.

I'm so going to fire her ass immediately when she gets back.

Is this not THE SECOND CASE of having incompetence mess w/your professional life and you feelings sorta badly about them being/or being in line to BE fired?

One of the hardest things I had to do was fire a woman that worked for me who was old enough to be my mother. She was like 60 something. Heckuva nice lady... but she didn't listen to a FUCKING THING I told her to do or not to do. She just went and did it "her way" regardless of how many times I told her to STOP.

I stressed FOR WEEKS over firing her. I mean, how could I? She was old enough to be MY MOTHER. After I did it, it was like a HYUGE weight was off my back. She was THAT BAD at the job. The woman was nice and likeable but completely incompetent and disobedient.

FIRE HER AND FORGET ABOUT IT.

I'm going to. Trust me. The fact that she had the BALLS to try and go up there and fuck with me after I've been bending over backwards to put up with her acting completely stupid/incompetent has made up my mind.

I will see you in hell, my dear. BTW did you finally get rid of that nasty pussy?

 

[txbondsman]

what happened to the other bish that was driving you crazy? and now this one is driving you crazy too? hummm

 

[heatherrae]

LOL...I got a phone call from one of the attorneys up in ohio saying that she was talking smack about me up there....evidently I'm a bitch who gets all over her just for asking a simple question...LOL.

He asked me if I would like for him to send me the forms for firing someone...ha ha ha.

i have an intern that i'm in charge of. I didn't hire him, although I probably would have. for a lot of things, he's great, but he didn't seem to understand that *i* am his boss. He wouldn't tell me if he wasn't coming in. he didn't tell me about a change in his schedule or what he's working on. I would think he was doing one thing that I asked of him, only to find out he was spending a few days working on a proposal that nobody asked for.

I finally had to have a talk with him and I told him i just wanted to make sure he understood the chain of command and what that meant, and also what I expected of him. He understood, but I later wrote an email, which I cc'd the CEO on and very nicely summarized what we spoke about. There would be no more confusion and everything has been great ever since.

sometimes, people need a clear message of what is expected, and sometimes you may not realize that you aren't communicating well to them either. It's very easy to think that someone knows what you're talking about, but maybe she absorbs things slower, or maybe you need to start further back.
