I've lost my temper countless times since joining Ron and Ron's Family Firm back in April. If you aren't familiar with Ron and Ron, this might jog your memory :
Ron & Ron, and Ron Senior, took me on as a PA and then gave me 2 years' backlog of filing, 5 years of archiving, a year's shredding, and about 200 invoices to raise. Some PA role that turned out to be! Never one to simply smile and keep my mouth shut, I think some of my tirades (albeit behind closed doors) were loud enough to be heard by Da Management. Ron & Ron, and Ron Senior made sure they were away from the office, and left the dirty work to Uriah Heap, aka, the cringing apologetic HR Director. My cell-mate - sorry, the person who shares my office - was given an hour off in the afternoon, leaving the way clear for Uriah to come in and tell me they were 'letting me go' as I hadn't reached the 'standards they expected'. How they could judge me as a PA when all I did was effing shredding, filing, archiving and invoicing I don't know but in a way they were right. I couldn't sink to their standards in a million years.
So I'm back on the job market again. Anything considered as long as the job descriptions are honest. Oh, and family firms need not apply ...
