Great ideas, Molly - both the giveaway and the video! Marijean has inspired me about the video thing, too ... now with you doing it, I've got to!

Indeed, thanks for sharing the story.
But I'd urge you to share it with a
wider audience. It is fortunate
your former mis-management backed down
on their threat to you when you presented your case. However others
may not be so well prepared nor able
to orchestrate such a defense. That management's misbehavior should have
received a negative sanction including
a warning to others of what may lie
ahead for them should they flirt with
employment in that haunted house.

It may be easy to just chalk this
episode up to experience but doing so
really isn't helping others nor
giving the offenders a reason refrain
from their obnoxious behavior.

Wow - what a story! Thanks for sharing it.

I actually am leaving my job of four years at the end of the month and am planning to leave gracefully, finish my projects, and not burn any bridges.

However... many years ago, at my first job, I did leave with a small bang. My husband got transferred, which was not a surprise to us, and I kept my supervisor fully apprised throughout the process.

Then, when the news was final, I gave two weeks' notice, as per the guidelines provided by HR. My supervisor was angry and wanted me to give four weeks' notice. Since my husband and I were moving quite some distance, this was not possible for me.

All the same, my manager treated me very badly from that day on, including freezing me out of meetings and instructing my colleagues to ignore me. After three days of this, I was utterly shredded, so I stayed late after work and cleaned out my office entirely. I sent the manager an email in which I explained that due to her immature and mean behavior, I did not feel compelled to honor the rest of my two weeks' notice.

Unfortunately, the S--- hit the fan and I ended up getting a scary phone call from a higher-up, letting me know about the nasty things they were putting in my personnel file. Luckily, I had documentation of everything that had occurred, including my clear honest communications with my supervisor and her later misbehavior, so the higher-up backed down, but the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.

Depending on how many people you're inviting, there are some local caterers who do good work for not very much money. I've had wonderful experiences with Hotcakes and always highly recommend them. There's also Harvest Moon and even Whole Foods.

Do the "No Parking" signs in front of our customers' buildings apply to jets, or just catering vans?

I love that you guys are using the "Corporate Catering Made Simple" tagline. I think that is what that guy down in Raleigh has been using for years!!! Good stuff.
