Last week, I'm at work ranting and raving about my boss "The Psychotic Bitch-from-hell" as I so affectionately refer to her and she walks around the corner! Luckily, she either hadn't heard me or is just ignoring it. Neither one of us makes any bones about the fact that we can't stand each other. Doesn't exactly make for a comfortable work environment.

Well I feel that I must post some kind of response. At this point I would like to apologize to Misty and all on this board. It was wrong of me to make my original post to begin with. I am sorry that I have involved all of you in the Jackson Signs soap opera. At this point there in no sense in trying to "defend" myself other than to say that the other 1/2 owner, who has poured money in the business over the last year to keep it going, was totally aware of what I was going to do before I did it. My biggest error was posting here and Mike Jackson's error was to call Misty and tell her that I was bad mouthing her.
I know that my post seemed like a slam but for the record, I have known her for years before I came to work for her. She is a brilllant sign person. There is nothing that I would have not done for this lady and nothing that I haven't done for this lady.
I do not wish to continue this thread as it can only get uglier. Those who choose to judge me may do so. Just know this...THERE IS A WHOLE LOT MORE TO THIS THAN THOSE WHO DO NOT WORK IN THE SHOP DAILY KNOW!!!!
I tried to ask my original question with as little bad mouthing as possible. I was wrong to attempt even that.
Letterheads and Misty I am truely sorry. I wish you all the best Misty in your new endevors. Just remember that the grass in the pasture on the other side of the fence is not always greener.

I was the sign rep for a new Sign-A-Rama here for 5 weeks, (just didn't quite work out for some reason), I wanted to scream on this board everynight! But, being a PUBLIC forum.........

Come on Steve. Here you go blaming someone again. I HAD a chance to tell her about the first post when she came by to borrow an Edge cartridge, but I DID NOT tell her anything about your post. It seems everyone wants to blame someone else when things go badly. The bottom line is that neither of the responsible people at the shop did their job very well in regards to this project.
Now after all the BB mess, you still want to blame someone for her finding out about a post you wrote? I don't know who told her about it, but I don't think it really matters. My name has been brought out in this post a couple of times. We sold that business 8 years ago. What the owners and employees and owners do now are really none of my business...other than to re-state an outsider's observation. "Filling out work orders completely can eliminate a lot of the confusion."
Good luck working out the problem.

No additional public response will be posted from me. This is a private matter and will be dealt with as such. Enough is enough. See you all under better conditions in another thread.

Something feels wrong here. Steve was asking what would we have done had the same circumstances been brought forth to us after the initial workorder time.
In my eyes, Steve attempted to save face for the company, not himself. (he didn't take the money for it, he isn't planning to steal the customer) Yes, it would have been more beneficial for sure to go to the boss and let her know of his intentions before doing so, but he didn't do the work for his own health. He did it to see a satisfied customer.
Communication is everything. Perhaps the boss and employee needed regular meetings to keep those lines of communication open and honest.
This forum is for help in every respect. I'm hoping Misty can see she actually had a caring employee that was searching for a better way by coming to this board.
