Sure thing, Boss!

For posterity's sake, I'm posting this email I got from my boss.

In the past year, I've probably raised over $100k for the radio station. I've put together a state-wide golf outing on the same course where the LPGA championship will be held next year. I've represented his organization in court, found him free legal help, moved a studio, had a baby, and took over programming for six radio stations (above and beyond my normal two) without being compensated - after I found one of his former employees trying to dig up dirt on a major donor.

So, without further ado, here's the email that I received today from my ever considerate boss.


John,

Please contact this gentlemen. And then follow up with me. Also I need to start receiving those weekly reports. Bottom line is that the income for the station is way below where it needs to be. Being busy with no results is not acceptable. I expect the income of the stations to keep increasing. If this does not happen, then it may be necessary to find you another job in the organization. And without results your income is not going to increase and it would be tough to raise a family on your current income. Are the pledge drive dates set yet?

God Bless,
