I found the following questions in this week’s mail bag, (I’ll edit to save room) Dear Al, The company where I work has passed up on hiring some very sharp young men because the sales manager’s pot smoking high school brat is taking up a slot. He’s useless and lazy and I’m outraged. Should I go register my feelings with the HR manager or let it go? Signed, caught up in corporate Dear caught up, I assure you that the sales manager has a boss also who sees the same thing. Sometimes key employees over-estimate their security level. The high level ego required to succeed at sales doesn’t always transfer well to sales management. Many times companies promote men or women into management because of their production in the field. Most good sales people make very poor sales managers. What made them great in the field is often their undoing in the office. Speak up if you no longer want your job, or let nature take its course. The high school weasel will eventually crawl into his hole and the sales manager’s job will soon be available. If the management where you work doesn’t recognize the situation, then your complaining won’t change anything anyway. Your youthful drive for fairness and integrity across the board, while noble, will temper with maturity as you realize we live in an imperfect world with imperfect people so pragmatism demands you pick your battles wisely. Next question I’m in a serious relationship with a man who is getting his financial support from his mother as he prepares for a teaching career. He goes to Europe next fall for student teaching, the final part of his education. I have been contributing to his support as he turns his entire income over to his mother to repay her for the college expenses and she sends him an allowance that is insufficient to meet his needs. He has no way of knowing what his true expenses are and my income can’t support this for too long. How do I handle this situation knowing I may be a part of this family some day? Caught in the middle Dear Caught in the middle, People in MN have very strange names it seems. Is “caught” as popular a name as it seems? Anyway … please sit down. First, you are not caught. You’re a sucker. This guy has to be in his early twenties by now and he doesn’t know his expenses, mommy has him on an allowance and it’s so meager that his girlfriend has to pay some of his bills. (it was a longer question) This fall he leaves to student teach in Europe, but as soon as he’s done he is coming home to sweep you off your feet and you will live happily ever after. Tell me, he’s living in your place besides. Could I have $100 for this answer? My wife won’t give me any spending money this week. Tell him to take his books, his bills, his European trip, and his mommy and get out of your life and if and when he grows up he can drop you a line. I mean really. You’re much better off alone than wasting your life on the leaches of the world. Oh I know it’s not like that! He’s really a swell guy and you really love him and … and … and … just grow up and realize there’s a guy out there who would love to date you and have you part of his life that won’t come with this foolishness. His mother really knows him. Your turn. All the best, Al _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ As a parent, grandparent, and human being I am extremely distressed about the seeming rash of perverts coming out of their holes to snatch innocent children. Some liberal jerk is going to try and convince us that it's an illness and we need to find compassion. Hate the sin, not the sinner. The horror and fear those children must feel ... how do you punish a man enough? As a society we need to do a better job of protecting our kids. What do you think? _.·´¯) Boomer HA! HA! (¯`·._ Did you hear about the garlic and limburger cheese diet? You don't lose much weight, but your friends think you look thinner from that kind of distance. _.·´¯)Remarks from the peanut gallery (¯`·._ We love you Papa ... Ashley and Danielle :) Have fun.
