I never cease to amaze myself with my ability to get in trouble. I've never been one to keep my mouth shut when something bothers me. I'm very honest and it gets me into trouble.
Yesterday, I woke up to an e-mail from our COO telling my boss to get a quote from a small production house for a corporate video that they want produced. I was hired in this company to be the in-house production department, so I took offense to his willingness to hire someone for 3X what I make when I've bent over backwards to help this company for the last 18 months.
So, I replied to the email and the COO and CEO told my boss, based on my reply, to fire me...ON MY BIRTHDAY/MOTHER'SDAY/MY FUCKING DAY OFF!!!
Oh well. That's the corporate world for you. On the plus side, my friend and Orangetheory coach just moved to Elk Grove, California to open his own studio and he asked me to be the studio manager before he left. I may have had that lingering in the back of my mind when I decided to let loose on my douche-bag COO, who was writing emails on a Sunday, instead of spending time with his wife, who just had their baby last month.
Looks like I'm moving to California.
