Sayonara, HR boob.

Years ago I worked at-will for a company. We worked 14 days on/14 off or whatever the schedule called for.  I finished a job just before Christmas and had been told a new job would start in a couple of weeks.  Weeks passed with the continued assurance I’d start work ‘in a week or so.”  Finally in early February, the boss told me they (the owners) were going to have to work the job because of financial shortfalls.  A day or so later, I got an email from the boss saying I owed them for the Jan and Feb health insurance they’d paid for me.  I ignored it.  Then I got a phone call saying he should have checked with the boss, ‘accounting’, before sending out the email.  He was kinda laughing at his mistake and joking about it.  He said I not only owed them for my insurance, but also for the portion they’d paid on my wife’s insurance.  It took everything I had in me not to tell him what I thought.  What a bunch of ...  Looks like it continues today.

Finally, Excel bites back!

Apparently, Microsoft has backed off on this due to the backlash.
