I’m doing this in bullet points, so I can keep my thoughts on track. Sort of.
- I’ve tried really hard not to blog about work lately. I’ve focused on co-workers a bit too much
- I’m breaking my newly implemented rule about not blogging about work.
- I have less than 3 weeks of work left, think I give a fuck?
- When I made my decision to leave Las Vegas, I made two appointments. These two appointments were suggested to me from our Payroll section.
- I made an appointment with our Personnel section to “process out” and I made an appointment with PERS to discuss my leaving and my options with my retirement.
- I was told by PERS in Carson City that this would be a retirement, because I’m vested with more than 10 years in the system. So this is what I told the girl at Personnel.
- I go into Personnel today for my process out appointment, I fill out some paperwork, she gives me some other paperwork and I go on my way.
- Shortly after I left, I got a phone call that this Personnel girl sends out a notification email when someone retires/resigns
- During this same phone call, I was informed that I’m not allowed retire nor will I get my “retirement credentials” because I don’t have enough time in the system.
- I told this person on the phone, I would get clarification tomorrow, because Carson City told me it was retirement since I was vested with over 10 years.
- And then I got angry. I got very very angry. I’m leaving. It doesn’t MATTER whether it’s a retirement or resignation. Seriously.
- As for the “retirement credentials” I don’t give a fuck. Keep the fucking cheap ass flat badge and funky ID badge you were going to give me.
- The girl at Personnel got fussed at by several people. Why? She had nothing to do with it. She went by what I told her PERS told me. Leave her alone.
- I have less than 30 days left and I’m likely to speak my mind pretty soon. They won’t like it.
- I love my job and I love my boss. I hate the way the place is run. I hate the politics. I hate the backstabbing. I hate the “playing favorites”
- When I first promoted, I got nothing but shit for the first 2 years. And then I got to work with my current boss and he kicks ass.
- Today’s events after I left personnel have solidified my decision to leave. Any questions I had in my head are fucking gone.
- This post may not make any sense to anyone but me and that’s OK.
- They (I don’t really know WHO they are) are trying to make this fantastic move of mine into something horrible. Who cares HOW I’m leaving. I’m fucking leaving. Who cares if I’m retiring or resigning? I’M FUCKING LEAVING.
OK, I think I got it out. If not, I’ll post again. Fucksticks. I think what upsets me the most is that they gave this girl at Personnel a ration of shit for doing her job. How fucked up is that?
Until next time…

Yeah it still bothers me that they gave that girl some shit. I mean seriously, what did she do? Politics is what made me get out of the military, I probably would have been a lifer if it had not been for stupid people.
Well, unfortunately I can’t escape the stupid. Maybe we should all go to an island and leave the stupid folks behind.

You have an extremely valid point. What does it matter WHAT it is called…. You are leaving. That is that. People! Grrr!
That is terrible that they gave the lady so much grief, and all she is trying to do is her job….. sheesh!

I know why she got yelled at… because she should have called and verified herself so that she could have told you the correct information. The fact that she took the paperwork and tried to process it as a retirement means you may very well have a lawsuit if you really wanted a piece of metal worthless than what your sandwhich is wrapped in.
It’s the bureaucracy. It kills all things good.

yoshi: I found out today that she was in tears
20 days and I’m done. That is total calendar days…12 working days.
TMP: Yeah I feel bad they gave her a hard time over it.
NYCWD: Bureaucracy sucks ass and I’m glad I’m leaving soon. She may very well should have called to verify, however, her job is to only do the paperwork, not the homework. That was my job. It’s OK though. Like I said, I have 20 days left. I’m not sweating too much.
