Is Stepzilla trying to escape?
When I came into work this morning, I was greeted with the glorious news that Stepzilla would be out today! If it wasn't for our excruciatingly boring project management meeting, the week would have been off to a perfect start. Normally I don't question Stepzilla's absence, I just revel in every moment she is not there to criticize, demand, dictate, and demean. However, I am starting to get a bit suspicious about her recent departures and I think she may be trying to escape! Last week she came in to the office abruptly and told us she was leaving at 12 pm. No explanation, no nothing. The most telling part was that sales had no idea why she was leaving either. Step usually at least bothers to tell sales where she's going. And then on Friday she said she would be out until 12 because she had a doctor's appointment. But when I came in, I had the following email in my inbox:
"Good morning everyone. Hope you had a good weekend. I was going to be out until this afternoon but I'm still not feeling great. I'd prefer to spend the afternoon at home. I will be working on things from here so feel free to e-mail me..."
Thanks,
Stepzilla
Several things about this email bother me. First of all, she's still not feeling well?? She said last week the reason she was taking the morning off was for a doctor's appointment, not because she wasn't feeling well. If she was so sick, why wasn't she out Thursday or Friday? I also think that if you are well enough to work from home, then you should be able to work from work.
Anyway, the thought of Stepzilla escaping begs the question...would I stay at ICLE if she was gone? Maybe for about $20K more per year, and an office with a window...
