Generations And Decisions



On my way to our "wonderful" grocery-store a while ago I met neighbour H.

She´s in her 80´s - you´d never guess that, 65-70 would apply as well!
We´re so alike, it´s crazy (apart from the chatty-side, she hardly ever stops)!
Pressies for Christmas, she asked me?
Nah, we don´t do that, but every time we see something we do make a pressie for love.
Same.
New Year´s Eve... same...
Thoughts on politics... same..

Nearly twice my age, yet the same.

We even shouted the greetings to the hubbys in unison :-)

One thing different, though.
She would´ve sued the company for terminating me, esp if there is someone working not as long, doing what I can so, go see Local Labour Court, she advised me.



Last Friday morno I went and on the way saw the star. Aww, love it when peeps do that to enjoy passers-by!

Well, boss is clever. The three weeks where I could´ve done something were long over when rumours spread he keeps NameSis doing my job for less money than mine.

My loss, her luck.
She doesn´t care driving or work hours, it´s unfair.

Anyhows, found a lille "mural" on the way...



And some... are they nice?





Or rather menacing?
Yep, I strolled around a bit.
My doc said I´m supposed to, too.

Ingo wakes me up when he leaves, so 05:25 I´m up, making myself busy.
Had brekkie and am off to the bakery soon.

I´m done.
Boss won, I´m out.
17 years, I cannot believe it.
"Six months Wolfsburg, then you´ll work inhouse" turned into 16 years Wolfsburg, one year inhouse and a kick in the ass.

Noooooo... I will NOT end on such a dark note!!!
You know me, I don´t do that, right?!



Times never get THAT sh####! :-)

Maybe your should take your neighbour's advice and take the company to court.
Will they pay you out redundancy money at least for the 16 years of work?
Not fair that your colleagues is doing the same job for less money that they paid you either.
I like the mural.

I´ve been to court and they told me it´s too late. You have three weeks after you get your termination, even if the situation changes later.
And, well, I´ve studied, which´d cost me some years, plus for testing (which she does not do (yet) HTML, css, JavaScript, SQL is of good use, which she has never learned.
If she also will be used as tester she will have to go to the developers more often, which I do not.
