Great Upheaval

There has been a great upheaval out at the plant.

But before I get into that, first I must needs catch you up.   If you'll recall, a few weeks ago I'd posted that the Human Resources Director From Hell had been fired.  Turns out, that was not the case after all.  About a week later, I saw her back at the plant.

"Is that HRH?" I asked Demi-god.  He said yeah, and that they hadn't fired her.  They'd just suspended her, and I was left wondering what on earth an HR director could do that warrants suspension.  I never did find out. 

Sometime later, on the day they announced that the security guards would be inspecting our lunches, one of the other brazers asked me, "Is HRH back?"  

"I don't know," I replied, because I hadn't seen her again since that one time.  Apparently she was.

That brings us to this morning. I'd walked over to ask a coworker about someone I hadn't seen in a while, and as we were chatting, she said, "They fired HRH this morning."

"Again?" I asked, and apparently they had, because I asked a few other people, and they said the same thing.  No one really knows why.  I asked Demi-god if he'd heard anything, because he usually knows being that his dad is a supervisor and his mother works in the front office.   This time, he didn't.  He told me his mom had sent HRH an e-mail yesterday and never got a response, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with her being dismissed.  

I guess we'll find out eventually.  Or not.  They don't tell us anything out there. 

But wait, there's more!  

There is also the rumor going around that The Warden is leaving next week.  Again, nobody knows why.  Demi-god said that the higher ups told him he'd have to move to Dallas, because he couldn't run a plant while he was in the plant, but that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.  Every director of operations we've ever had has lived here and been physically present in the plant.  

I wondered if maybe he wanted to go back into the Army, myself.  Now that SecDef Hegseth -- say that three times fast-- is purging the military of wokeness and social justice and making it great again, lots of people are wanting to go back in.  Not to mention that all the branches are meeting their recruiting goals for the first time in a long, long time. 

But that's a different post for a different day.  

What I want to know is, once all the dust settles and we know what's what, can I have my insulated mug back?  

In knitting news, I finally got one arm of my great-nephew's sweater seamed. 

But just the one.  When I got finished, I said, "I need a break before I tackle the other sleeve."  And still it sits...

That baby's going to be here before I get it done if I don't get a move on.
