Dear Boss:
I'd like to reiterate what I'm doing; I'm complaining about you right now.
I say this not as an act of vengeance, but rather to illustrate the honesty that I've shown since I've worked for you. For example, when I was looking for another job about six months ago, I told you..."I want you to know that I'm looking for another job because you're not paying me enough." Now, someone that was out to cause you problems...or was perhaps a little more sane...would NOT have told you that. You paid me more money, which is probably half of what I could make if I were to commute to NYC. And sincerely, thanks for the raise.
HOWEVER...remember two months ago when my well pump broke, and I called out because...well...without a well pump, I have no running water? I REALLY WAS TRYING TO REPLACE MY WELL PUMP. Your "not understanding why I couldn't come in to work" because of this incident is likely because you didn't understand the concept of water pressure, and the components required to make the clear liquid come out of the faucet when you turn the shiny handles in your house. So, I came in within an hour...and the "work emergency" was handled quite easily. I'm fairly certain the "work emergency" could have been handled by the dried-up, dead plant that's been sitting outside your office door since the day I started working for you; it basically involved reading e-mails.
Still, that was probably for the best; at least I got to replace the well pump at night, when it was cooler. My toddler got to take his nightly bath at a neighbbor's house, which is always fun, and I got to sleep at 3:00 am. You may remember the following day; you know...I looked a little disheveled. You asked why I was cranky.
Also...three weeks ago, when I said I'd be a little late because my washing machine broke, and my basement was flooded? Yeah, that really happened too. Our clients were taken care of, just like I said they would be when I called in. However, the "questioning my commitment to the company" message you left on my voicemail when you found out I was late would probably have been more effective IF YOU HADN'T BEEN CALLING FROM ST. THOMAS AT THE TIME, you condescending, self-centered, egomaniacal, ignorant, illiterate, dizzy #####!
If I was looking for a job, I would TELL you; you know, like I did LAST time. Actually, I'll be telling you that the next time we meet. If nothing else, I'd like to thank you for showing me one thing in my tenure here: It's entirely feasible that someone can run a PR company in this area with practically ZERO organizational or writing skills, take no responsibility for anything, treat clients like crap, overbill everyone, never pay your bills, burn all your bridges, and somehow still keep from going bankrupt.
If someone with half a brain and a good work ethic decided to start their own PR company in this area, you'd probably be screwed. I'll be sure to let you know when I do it.
