Tonight, I really dislike the 1%

[blur256]

I have been working at my job for five months and found out my boss has expenensed:
His condo
$30,000 parking spaces for said condo
His two acuras
plus other expenses including a steamer.
On top of his ridiculous salary.
And i was told today that I could not attend a necessary conference because of budgetary constraints - even though they paid $600 for it already. Just because of mileage and hotel. I am sick to my stomach right now. And I can't even pay my water bill right now as a campus dirctor of a college.

1. ..of a college!?

Meaning, your boss runs the college!? Public or private?

Either way, I'll bet tuition for the students has continued to shoot up, while Mr. Boss continues to expense the multiple cars, et al...

[blur256]

2. It is a private a school

And tuition just went up. Supposedly we are ahead $20,000, but they can't pay for me to drive from KC to St. Louis and stay at hotel for one night.

5. Can't he loan you one of his free Acuras!?

11. lol

They would still have to pay me cor mileage. I am such a bitch hahahaha

3. Wow.

I bet that your boss's excuse is that, if they gave it all to him, he's obligated to take it.

4. Oh and sorry about the shoddy spelling,

And grammar. My internet is shut off until I get paid on Friday. That is how hard up me and my partner are right now. All we have is cell phones which just got turned on again last week

7. welcome to the fiefdom

Obviously your boss is entitled to all that stuff right? Because, well, you know, he's special. Being a feudal lord and such.

We are going to have to start occupying bigger spaces. I miss those occupiers.

[blur256]

9. Totally agreed.

I am there.

[Justice wanted]

6. I feel for you. Please protect yourself. My friend was in a simular situation. She needed to go

to a seminar for her job but said they couldn't send her. 3 months later they demoted her for not getting the trainning she is required.

[blur256]

8. Unfortunately, that is how I feel right now

I think they are trying to get rid of me even though my job description says Campus Director. Found out latee I am also the registrar and career services. I cannot get it all done

10. I've despised the upper 1% deeply since about 2004.

[blur256]

12. Me too

Especially when as a fresh collegs grad I could not find a job as ab advertisng/pr major...

13. Since 2001 for me. Sick of the religious nutjobs for about that long, too.

15. 2004 was when I started really waking up to their lies and bullshit.

That was when the Tyco CEO threw that huge party for his wife in the Mediterranean with Jimmy Buffet and that vodka dispensing ice penis.

I like to refer to it as our "let them eat cake" moment.

As for the religious right - as a former fundie I was waking up to their bullshit after 9/11 and all the evil shit Falwell and Robertson were spewing at the time - and my church was buying into their lies. I knew I had to leave and I'm so better off for it.

14. It's Never Enough

My old boss in radio got a whole bunch of perks ... Mercedes Benz being one. He would expense even a cheap cup of coffee , it made me ill to do his expense report every month.

16. Only citizen involvement

Will turn this ship around.
