Nothing surprises nobody

My boss got fired last month. One day, he was told to leave and not come back. Don't let the door catch you... So, he left. Just walked away. Didn't even get to clean out his desk or take his photos.

Today, he was asked to come back. New job, new responsibilities. CEO of a psych hospital. Welcome back. Missed you. Hold the door for you on your way in? Oh, here's your stuff. We saved it for you.

Our orginazation was being absorbed by a much larger organization (about six times the budget) However, our organization, with state psych hospitals, has six times the staff. Turns out it costs so much per staff to change coding, regardless of what is changed, including just the acronym. Therefore, to save costs, instead of them absorbing us, we absorbed them.

These were two consecutive all staff announcements today. Nobody believed them.
