Haven't bullies learned anything from incidents like Columbine? There's a reason shit like that happens. This is totally the wrong attitude and a horrible thing to say but I wish she had taken some of them with her. I used to have bad thoughts about doing this like this when I was in school. In a lot of them I killed myself but I took almost all of those fuckers with me.

also what I came here to post originally
It pisses me off when I try to do something NICE for somebody and they take it the wrong way.
Having been in the pizza industry for a long ass time, I KNOW what days are busy. Halloween, Valentine's day and the day before Thanksgiving are the big ones. When I mentioned to my boss about how I wasn't looking forward to working Halloween because it'd be so busy, she was surprised to hear me say it'd be busy. She hadn't been there that long and wasn't there last year to remember. Eventually I talked her into scheduling a lot of people and that's the only reason we managed to squeeze by. Actually even THEN we needed help.
So I know she was writing the schedule for next week, so today I was going to let her know that the day before Thanksgiving is another busy day. But today she had left early and I was there with another cook. She had left the half done, in pencil schedule sitting on the counter and we all had looked at it. Later on in the night I decided to call her just to be nice and let her know it'd be busy that day and she should bulk up on drivers and cooks. She didn't answer her phone so I left her a message... later on she called back and I asked if she had listened to my message. She said, "Yes, part of it, but why were YOU looking at the schedule."
I told her because it had been sitting there on the counter and she was all, "It's not done yet. Now everyone who looks at the schedule is going to think it's final so if I change it, I'm screwed." then went on to say she KNEW it'd be busy that day and I just apologized and said bye.
Apparently she thinks we're all so fucking stupid as to think that a penciled in half written schedule is the final deal. Oh and here's an idea, if you don't want people looking at the schedule, don't leave it on the fucking counter. Sorry for trying to be helpful.
One of these days, I promise you, I will. The next email you'd probably get from me would be something along the lines of "and now let me tell you how I just got fired today..." But...it'd be so worth it.
