sundog Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 QUOTE (Maddy @ Jun 1 2007, 09:32 PM) Dear Global Administration/Contract Management: I must say out of all the mass layoffs I've seen, this one has been the most poorly handled. Why were we told that 95% of us would NOT be affected by the new "support structure matrix" only to find out that all but about ten of us are losing their jobs? That's more like 90% of the secretaries being affected. And why were the managers told that there would be "no changes?" Furthermore, why has it apparently been made the responsibility of the individual secretaries to tell the managers they supported that they're being laid off? On a humiliation scale, that's somewhere up there with having to type your own termination letter. Do you really believe that we're interchangeable? Did you think the managers wouldn't notice or care if their secretaries were switched around? That as long as there's a warm, smiling pair of tits sitting perkily behind a secretarial desk, it doesn't matter who they're attached to? Believe me, they're going to notice. And care. And then you tell the few of us remaining that this is only the beginning of the "new and exciting changes?" I've heard the rumors. I'm not going to wait around to see if my head rolls at the end of next quarter.... And on a related note: those little handouts you were going around putting out for the managers? The notion that you truly believe that our jobs can be reduced to five little bulleted "how-to" lists is somehow the most sickening part of all... Maddy ~*~ This has all been happening since Monday, BTW - I had an interview today and I have one Wednesday. I hate walking out but we've been told these cuts are only the beginning... good luck in your job hunt Maddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this will help, but when i played basketball I had major shin pain. I would put an analgesic on my shins and knees before workouts or game stretching and also stretch them out after a game during warm-downs, rubbing more analgesic into them. This helped quite a lot.

GhostGirl Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I hate to interrupt, boys, but yes, Geds, I do stretch before and after. I really think it's the combination of new shoes plus a different running surface. I'm going to try hard to get back outside to run and see if that helps. Thanks to you and Necro for the suggestions.
