Screwed at work? I wish it was in a good way, but alas it isn't. They guy that works for me, I'll call him Boy Friday, has decided take a position in another department. On the the one hand (this hand being the good boss trying to develop his employees into better ones), I am extremely happy for Boy Friday. The new position is a good bump up and great for him career wise. He's an excellent employee does exemplary work and always busts his ass. On the other hand (this hand being the lazy good for nothing boss that delegates every bit of work possible to his staff), I hope that the new job really sucks and that he comes crawling back on his hand and knees begging for his job back.
Needless to say, until I replace Boy Friday and then get his replacement fully trained, my life is going to be an utter hell. First off, all of the crap work that i shluffed off on Boy Friday is coming full circle right back to me. Second, all the people that piss me off with their stupid suggestion box ideas are going to start calling me instead of Boy Friday acting as buffer. And worst of all, I go from having 2 direct reports back to having 7 or 8. While I don't mind the day-to-day management of these people, I detest writing their performance reviews. To top it off, one of the employees I am getting back is Doris whose main purpose in life is to drive me insane.
Well I'm going to try and figure how the fuck I am going to get all of this work done over the next few weeks/months. Actually, I should probably go and find some cheese to go with all this whine I have.

When will you address the fact that you have known about this for months? You should have delegated him to find his own replacement!
