snafu
As you may know, Kai has been “backed-up” for several days now. Well, today he got all caught up. Over six times, today alone. It was one for the record books, at least.
As you can see, we have started Kai on the sippy-cup — which he was a natural at. Thanks to Marty for getting Kai his first sippy-cup.
Now to the meat of the matter. Today, at our casually-sophisticated restaurant, the computers crashed at closing time, meaning all the guests who were waiting for their checks got a free meal. Lucky them. It also means that we did not get our money and have to wait for the geek squad to fix it up and give us our money. It was an interesting night, to say the least.
On another interesting note, two of my fellow team members just had a baby together. She’s super cute and only a couple weeks old. We’ll call the mom “J” and the dad “K.” This early evening, J came in to pick up her paycheck, while K was working. Enter, area-manager, “D.” Of course, a newborn baby tends to attract attention at a workplace. It’s natural. It’s a beautiful thing. Well, area-manager D pulls father K outside and basically tells him that mother J should not bring baby Emma into the restaurant as she is too distracting for the staff, and from a business aspect he doesn’t like that we are all friends at work. Father K, being one of the original team members with the company, tells area-manager D that he’s crazy, and if his employees are not doing their job, it’s not daddy’s problem.
Now, I understand where area-manager D is coming from. He’s a by-the-book, business-is-war kind of guy. But god help him if it was my son and he told me not to bring him in the restaurant. I’m so disappointed right now. How could this organization, that was built upon the values of Respect, Integrity, Courage, Excellence, and Teamwork allow someone like this to rise to a leadership position? Doesn’t teamwork thrive on friendship? Is mother J not entitled to pick up her paycheck? Should mother J have to arrange for a babysitter just so she can pick up said paycheck? Or should she leave the baby unattended in the car while she picks up her paycheck? Or should she just forgo her paycheck for the business’ sake? What happened to the our company’s soul? Thank god mortgage school is coming up.
