The monkeys are running all.

Cara's little sister lost her job yesterday.
Their uncle is like 3ic for a large retail parent company and got her a job in one of the smaller associated companies. She moved from the outer suburbs to Brunswick for this job and everything seemed to be going really well. She really liked it, it was 15 minutes away, she was enjoying her new share house, etc. Actually, her new bedroom is way better than ours, the hoe.

When she first got the job there was a mix up and they offered her a full time position when they originally intended to give her the assistant manager position. She sent an e-mail to the owner and everyone apologised for the mistake, it was all bizarre.

Cara has got her to work at her job a few times, most recently, for the month we were in Central America. The feedback from that and all her other previous jobs was that she was so nice, really cheery and totally pleasant to work with. This job just now, questioned her commitment because she had to exchange two of her Sunday shifts for her best friend's hens weekend and wedding where she'll be the head bridesmaid chick. Then they said that 3 of their staff were thinking of leaving because she was belittling them.

The whole thing seems pretty freakin' weird. I really don't believe she was at all belittling in her demeanour, she was trying to learn a new job and make good impressions. If there was some misunderstanding then surely they should try and tell her what she's doing wrong and give her a chance to improve.

They didn't fire her exactly, they basically demoted her and told her she'll have to find another job within the associated companies.

The whole thing makes me feel a bit sick, I didn't know stuff like this actually happened.

P.S) I wasn't able to publish this post for a few days because the monkeys are also running blogger.

Oh, it definitely happens, dude. I was basically bullied outta my job last month by nasty managers (not that I'm saying that's what Cara's sister is like), and now I'm jobless and running into debt! It's great fun!!

Hope Cara's sister bounces back.
