Anthony's stupid clip art from his 2/9 email.
I know it's been quite a while since my last post. And I've got bad news, this might be my last one ever. I'm no longer going to be working for idiots. I have resigned. But I did want to make sure you know that absolutely nothing has changed. Anthony is still a moron living in a fantasy world where he thinks people want to hear his messages of positivity while simultaneously putting up with his condescending assholishness. I guess no one ever explained to him what "actions speak louder than words" means. Maybe someone should make him a chart.
So here are a few messages from the last couple of months. It's not much but it still demonstrates so perfectly how hard these idiots constantly try to convince themselves and everyone else how great everything is.

Subject: volunteer actors wanted
Hello Staff!
Happy Thursday!
Do you find it exciting, intriguing, appealing, to be in front of a camera?
Do you have hidden acting talents that you want to explore, share, express?
Ok, here's the deal:
We have a video production team (interns), who is working with us in putting together several video products (mostly for promoting [the agency]). One of these videos is a quick project (nothing fancy) to help staff visualize the new process for providing services (what to do with referrals, documentation, filing, etc).
The shooting will happen this Sunday, here at [the agency].
The tentative schedule is 9-4.. we won't be going after 4, but the starting time is still tentative.
For this video, we need three actors. (the characters: one will be a counselor ending service, the other one will be a counselor beginning service, and the third person will be a client).
If you are hourly-paid, we would have to pay you to come in on Sunday, and -as you know- these are tight financial times, so we cannot ask you to come this Sunday.
But if you are NOT hourly-paid (exempt), you are SO welcome to volunteer.
Who said 'I'?
We need 3 actors.
Anthony
[I also just find this one funny because there is a video being made. Wish I could get my hands on a copy]

Apologies for the last minute...but we have "no” choice.........Program Managers are expected to attend both days......so plan accordingly.......this is the "Last Hurrah" so to speak...It has been a two year process and everyone is focused on the finish line. We have to make sure that [the agency] crosses the finish line in tact...Is my message clear?

Hello Staff,
Exciting times !
Isn't it interesting how the only constant usually is change? Hopefully change tends to be for better, right?

Subject: if you have 10 min off today
If you are able to take a 10 min brake [sic] today, I would strongly encourage you to take a quick walk around the block.
The weather is really nice: not too hot, not too cold. And it's refreshing.
Just thought I'd share my experience on going out to get lunch today.
It's also a reminder of the importance of pacing your work throughout the day and taking mental breaks to prevent burn out.
Happy Tuesday!

I have worked pretty hard to not reveal my identity in this here blog, but at this point I just don't really care that much about transparency. I announced my resignation via email to all staff. I received several responses from the coworkers I like. Not one word from
Q.M.
