Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
dude you don't want to be like my boss. he is a master manipulator and a two faced liar. He would lie to his mother/wife/children if it meant more money in his pocket. I was all happy about the company before i started working closely with this guy, but now that I see how he really is I don't want any part of it. I now know why my pervious boss, the CFO, left the company. I was supposed to transition into his role over the next 5 years or so but with how the president conducts business I don't want my name associated with his.

Management sucks. I was asked if I were interested in my boss' position since she's leaving, I said "hell to the no!" I had my review yesterday and was told a bunch of contrasting bull**** and I still have my meeting with administration about taking vacations or something. Management just does **** to try to justify having a job at all.
The funny thing is that in healthcare they do all the hiring and firing of clinical staff and they will protect their jobs first in tough times while firing clinical staff then realizing that those people that actually do work and treat patients in this thing called a hospital are the reason the hospital is open and generating revenue thus providing them with a position.
I wish the world and people weren't so inherently nasty so that specialized people like me can do their jobs, fix people and go home to have a personal life.

A warminster course always consists of the following:
Slaloms
Transitions
1-2 sweepers of which one is always the turn around at back end of course
the problem is the runway is not wide enough to allow for up and back parts of course. We are always stuck with very similar layout courses with not enough elements in the courses (ie. sweepers, chicago box, s turns, etc etc think CBP).
So my point is that carts and Fmods transition and slalom better than any car by far. That makes it almost impossible to beat them the way the PAX calculations are done presently, so its almost not fair.

I was watching warminster autox videos before and the course was very similiar to what we ran even though it was a different event.
in some non-racing work related news I just had an interesting meeting that feel the need to share.
my boss called me in his office to show me some profit margin goals he calculated based on previous years. He said we need to be in the 5-6% range and currently we're at 3-4%. I noticed an error in his calucaltion, so I pointed it out and made the correction to his formula and it turns out our profits are in the 12-18% range (based on his whack *** formula, its really closer to 10% if you do it correctly but I wasn't telling him that). so I'm more than double the margins he has set in place yet some how he tells me I still need to do better because the company isn't making any (read:enough) money. Right after the meeting he left to go golfing... FML.

a couple years ago our company grew by hitting 156% of target- basically everyone's bonuses should have been high but they chipped away at it since it was just "too much" for people.
the following year was the same growth and so they did it again. the year after they set the financial goal higher than ever before and we hit like 125% growth and our bonuses suffered because we didn't profit as much as they expected.
