Oh, gosh, Bob. How awful! I am so glad you had the sense to get off the interstate
She’s beautiful. And huge!
Yes, I think the top beak is supposed to be a little longer. All my girls have that. Maybe the photo in question was just an illusion.
Fabulous photo!
I LOVE HER!!! And her name!!!
Oooohhhh! I forgot you use that no slip stuff! Brilliant! And I bet it hoses right off!I'll just say it - the guy is being a jerk. You hired these people and want to see them succeed. They signed on partly because of their experience with YOU. Of course this is upsetting! I'm mad just hearing about it.
In social encounters people use these tactics as ice breakers to cover their insecurity. One goes away with, "Yup, that guy's a jerk." But this is abusive in an employment situation. He is using his status as a superior to get over on others. This is not helpful to the company or the employees. Hopefully this is not the culture there? Are you the exception? The trainees may be now forewarned and should get out while they can, or hope to be in a different department. Maybe you have an employment handbook that covers this? Some guys never get over grammar school. You know the saying people get promoted to their level of incompetence? Proven here.
I think this is Hazel at two weeks, her wings were much less spotty and barred and she had a deep brown blush in her chick down. I almost named her Caramel, but her full name is actually Hazelnut.View attachment 3040742
Oh my gosh! That boils my blood!I suspect it is more that most people don't understand that it isn't viable unless incubated, so to them it seems kinda 'icky'. I am sure her grandma knows this, but many people have asked me if there might be a chick inside and how am I sure there isn't if there is a Rooster around. Also, regarding bug, worms, etc. It is much easier, in that sense, to 'fool yourself' by buying 'hygenically' preppped & 'sealed' eggs, where you don't have to think about where they came from, what they ate, nor how they lived. It is just plain easier.
I gave a co-worked some smoked chicken (she said she would like to try it). Months later I found out she had thrown it out because she 'couldn't eat it'. She had come to my house ONCE and seen my chickens...a year before. She said she couldn't eat it because she 'knew' my chickens. I asked her how...it wasn't even one that was hatched yet when she came over...she said....but I've seen them, and they all looked happy...I couldn't eat that, I'll get my chicken from the store, thank you."
Honestly, what p#^&ed me off the most was she threw it away instead of giving it back or offering it to a friend. I did, later when I could say it calmly, tell her how much it bothered me that she threw it away, because that meant that the chickens life was 'wasted'. He died to be thrown away!So disrespectful of him and his life (I didn't say that part). But, it all goes back to "I'll have my steak and roast chicken...but I don't want to know where it came from."
We want to continue to be omnivours without having to deal with the realities of being an omnivour.
It sucks that you’re in this position, I’m glad your minions haven’t been too badly affected by him (that minion reference is a compliment… lol old workplace inside joke no one here will get) people don’t generally leave jobs they leave bad managers. I was an awful, awful supervisor. (sarcasm font). “Okay kiddos, the new HR lady is going to spend the day working with us, so please keep the harassment, inappropriate jokes, and language under control… we don’t want to scare this one off too!” Little did I know she was Québécois and Catholic so 16 siblings or some such and like most French Canadian women… just this side of completely crazy.
