Today's conversation with the boss....
_________________________________________________
Boss: Don't panic or anything, but I've got something to tell you. {No good conversation starts out this way}
Me: Um, okay.
Boss: Apparently, you were terminated two weeks ago.
Me: {Crickets}
Boss: Remember when I asked for you to be paid for the off-the-books vacation days you didn't take last calendar year? Well, they assumed that meant you'd been terminated so they took you off the payroll.
Me: {Still struck silent by the sheer incompetence of our payroll department}
Boss: Don't worry, I think we have it all figured out but I wanted you to know....
___________________________________________________
Seriously? There are like fifteen people left on the payroll and you can't manage to pay them correctly? Did he tell you I've been terminated? No? Well then maybe you shouldn't take it upon yourself to assume what he meant when that is so clearly not what he said.
So this week I will be paid the three extra days vacation, plus the eighty hours of vacation that I am owed upon my termination. But not for the eighty hours I actually worked. Supposedly, I will be paid that NEXT pay period.
I am so going to end up getting screwed. I just know it.

Wow!! There's not a whole lot to say. I think incompetence is putting it mildly.
Business is getting dirty. We are having to watch our backs like crazy. It's a dog eat dog world out there right now. It's insane!
Haha, at least you WILL get paid your vacation.
