Amazing GM

I have an amazing GM (General Manager). A man I respect, admire, value
and simply ADORE.

Coming on board, brought him several challenges.

Our doors would be closed within 30 days.

He had to deal with distrust, anger, and frustration from current employees.

Old Timers weren’t into a “new timer”

The company had laid off 1/3 of our work force just before he was hired.



I wasn’t able to talk the trash I talked to the past GM. You could
tell he…errr, Mr. Daddy Roebucks, was a NO nonsense kinda man.

Alright.. fine, he was intimidating. (even for MY standards) Im the
type of gal, who will say what I feel …NO MATTER WHAT.

I simply wouldn’t be able to call Daddy Roebucks a JERK to his face..

No Sir, that wouldn’t fly.

A few times he had come up behind me without so much a sound.
Startling me and catching me surfing the net while I was on company
time.

I finally blurted out as I jumped, hand on my heart..

OMG.. You really need to stop.. you INTIMIDATE me,  I don’t
like it. QUIT. IT!

Im usually the intimidateorrrrr NOT the intimidated *RAWR*

Yes, I growled.

My co-workers stared from across the office thinking I was toast.

I mean.. who really talks to a “GM” that way? One co-worker even went
so far as making a sawing motion with his finger against his neck… the
other guy waved goodbye.

I bit my tongue..broke out in sweat…

Staring him in the eyes.

He threw his head back and laughed. I LIKE you.

And from that moment on.. We’ve been a team.

Working for a corporate company has its challenges.

They rarely think with their heads.. more with idiotic tendencies.

I simply want to take the COO by the hair and say WTH are you thinking?

Are you DUMB?

I have made statements in front of “higher” ups regarding education..

Just because you have a degree .. doesn’t always make you the sharpest
tool in the shed.

Big Daddy has been the only one to pull it off..

So.. my darling Daddy Roebucks (as D, my bestest friend so
affectionately calls him) hahah will be leaving Friday.

Im crushed.

Him and I were a team.

We shared secrets, being nothing more than an administrator assistant,
receptionist

I kept his stories to myself sharing only with my husband.

A business opportunity came up for him to travel across the globe.

He leaned in my window, and said this is going to be BIG.

I leaned forward and said.. DON’T forget the little people.

Tears in my eyes. Im coming with you.

Can’t get rid of me.. I will stalk you, at every turn.. haaaaa



I don’t look forward to the road without  Big Daddy. I’ll miss our
talks, I’ll miss running up to his office to vent about someone..

I’ll miss him taking my side with a “certain manager’ who makes it his
mission to pick on me daily (all in good fun of course)

Im gunna miss him calling to check in and me yelling into the phone…

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.



The positive side..there isn’t one.
