Popular Post sixcat Posted April 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2018 Gonna rant on something I didn't expect to be upset about. Please bear with me. We have a young civil engineer who will be leaving the company tomorrow after several years of dedicated and valuable employment. His leaving will be difficult to overcome given our rural footprint but something we've dealt with for 24 years. It's his prerogative to live his life as he sees fit and certainly not our place to hold him back. He is immensely talented, intelligent and dedicated to the clients he served. To say the least, he will be missed, even if he is a Wahoo (had to take a dig at you The Wahoo). My issue has most certainly not been with his leaving, his handling of the situation or the timing in which this is all taking place. My issue has been with the way senior management has chosen to deal with his leaving. Pettiness, hostility and open degradation isn't appropriate nor is it acceptable for a professional environment. I have shared my concerns with senior management and was promptly told to stay out of it. I'm not willing to do that and let them know as much! This is a very new experience for me with this company. I have been here for 11 years and have never seen anything approaching the level of pettiness from the powers that be. It's disappointing to say the least. This has been a place of employment I have been proud and honored to represent. I have tried to represent them in a way they could be equally as proud to have me as a member of the team. Based on some of the information tossed about over the past few days, I have come to believe, management is upset simply because he is a "millennial" and is going to live abroad while he is still young and unattached. Like I said, petty! I wish him nothing but continued success and all the best in everything he does. I also wish for management to realize the pettiness they exhibit now is on full display for those of us who remain with the company! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony@CIC Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It's a shame that your managers are handling it this way - they should be aware of how it reflects on them rather than on the person leaving. 2 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It's a shame that your managers are handling it this way - they should be aware of how it reflects on them rather than on the person leaving. The person leaving has worked under my supervision since he joined the firm so I feel compelled and even a bit obligated to defend him to our superiors. As Tom Hanks says in Saving Private Ryan, "complaints go up the chain of command, never down". It shouldn't be taken personally that he is leaving. Especially considering he is moving overseas while he is still a young man. He gave us nearly 2 months notice which is more than acceptable. He even reimbursed the company the expense of his licensing fees. Like I said, petty and disappointing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major props to you for standing up for your employee, even though he is leaving, you recognize his talent and ability and the contribution he made. It's a shame your employer didn't. Hopefully he is aware of and appreciates your support in return. 5 Quote TSR2 10.0 HZRDUS Red CB 6.0 TSiR2 10.0 Tensei Blue X ink 55g TSR2 16.5 PX Evenflow 5.5 60 g TSi1 20 and 23 degree hybrids Aldila Ascent Shafts R T200 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1X Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Mother Nature gave us an atypically cold winter to endure, maybe she will continue the trend and give us a pleasant summer to enjoy. That is, there will not be an extended period of extremely hot days. But, I am not optimistic, why am I not optimistic? For those of you that have young children or grandchildren, if and when they complain about cold weather, you can say---this is nothing, back in my day, during the winter of 2018 ......................... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mother Nature may have given you an atypical cold winter, but our atypical winter was last year. We always play golf all year long here. Sometimes it's cold, but it doesn't last too long. We might get a little snow but it usually melts in a couple of days. LAST YEAR, we got snow from Jan1- Mar 1 and it never got above freezing. We had more snow on the ground last winter than the previous 25 winters combined. I feel for you folks back east, but I'm happy that we are back to normal. Now, if the wind would just quit blowing... 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know, maybe you're just a year ahead of us. How was your summer last year. Next year, let us know how you are doing, it could help us prepare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year, let us know how you are doing, it could help us prepare. Summer last year was normal for us. 90's to low 100's from June to Sept. We only had one week at 105+. It has been a fairly wet year so far. We have had over 3 inches of rain since Jan 1. That's about 1/2 of our annual rainfall for the year.

TheWahoo Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Maybe its not so much a big deal about Tiger playing, but rather the concern that the way things are going nature wise, its feared that Shinnecock Hills my still be snow covered in the middle of June not allowing Tiger to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
