The awesome job I got at the start of the year? It still havent pick up thanks to this damn virus thing.
So the bonus in USD is being whitheld from me until we start working, in six months I have collected it only twice after great pains and asking....
I still have the regular salary in our local currency, wich comes twice a month and cover enough to feed us for two or three days(streching it thinly) each time.
Thankfully we supplied ourselves plenty with long lasting food and so far have managed to avoid counting calories again. Also I have been doing lots of small jobs again to re-stock whenever possible.
The suckiest part is that upper management asked me yesterday basically to fire the other dude that is working with me. I understand their position because hes not doing anything at all, while I am using all my contacts and strings from back when I was working in the food factories industry to get them providers, hence being at least marginally useful.
On the other hand this dude wife got cancer a few months ago and I now he migth need the money, but since the bonus payments are frozen anyway then is just the same. However firing someone that doesnt deserve it just because outside reasons is very sucky and in this case my responsability. I mean, I have enough power that could opt to just say no and Im considering it, but then in the long run I'll have to justify it and the issue is that rigth now I dont have anything to do so....
Heavy is the crown of branch management.
