Dirty Pool
Today, a newsletter in the mail from the organization I used to work for. The lead article mentions that they have relocated their offices, but neglects to say that they fired 8 people to do so and that the real reason they wanted to move was because the Executive Director met someone shitty enough to marry his sorry ass and they wanted to stay in the city he lives in in the upper northwest.

I know I should not be amazed by his arrogance, but I am. The article plays the move off as a cost-saving matter when the reality is, they are on a fast track to irrelevance outside of the state he lives in and that his parents paid off tens of thousands of dollars to get him out of the lease he signed just more than a year ago on the swanky new offices.

What type of cost savings is that? How totally disingenuous of you to act like this decision was free and easy. How could you not mention the years and years of experience and dedication your staff you just fired put in so your sorry ass would look good?

I guess I know the answers to many of these questions. Arrogance is just a part of it. Megalomania, self-delusion, etc.

I wonder how people live with themselves that do this type of thing and then sell it like a good move for the movement?

It reminds me of so many of the behaviors at "feminist organization".

But really, these are not mine to dwell on. If I remember correctly, I killed them off at the very edge of Rockport, Massachusetts. I left them in the water there. All that anger and twisted sickly stress.

All I know is that there is something inside me that knows when the rats are near and when they are feasting and that that instinct can protect me and tell me when it is time to move on.

I pity these people and their dirty ways. I hope one day they can truly understand what it means to have power and how not to use it.
