    Yeah, if that talent is squeezing blood out of stone, like a good little accountant...

    I'm amazed that this thread has hit 11 pages, with all of the other stuff that's been posted about JRC over the years.

    Our school paper's news adviser worked in Norristown -- don't know specifically when but possibly around the time of the purge. He said he had no problem with seeing a kid take a job anywhere, with any company, but JRC. Sour grapes? Possibly. But still ...

    I'm one of the hardest workers at my job but I don't get any respect from any of my co-workers.

    They apply at McDonald's after JRC destroys their career.

    People work hard for years, do good jobs, then get laid off because some beancounter has to deliver Bob a few more dozen thousand on the balance sheet, or get fired because Ramon forgot to use lube on Bob last night.

    Then, it's off to the Golden Arches. You deserve a break today.

  7. You know, and forgive me if it's come up on other JRC love fests, I'm really surprised a disgruntled employee hasn't just offed Jelenic by now. Do postal workers have a monopoly on work-related violence?

    I'd also like to note that I'm not advocating violence. It's just very surprising that these stories, if not apocryphal, haven't driven at least one employee over the edge by now.
     
  8. Ramon is the top? I pictured him as the bottom.

  10. Reasons To Not Work For JRC

    Reason No. 13: To save pennies JRC is now purchasing the lowest grade commercial toilet tissue from suppliers. A sales representative and a JRC representative crunched numbers in 2006 and discovered that X number of dollars would be saved by using their lowest possible grade commercial toilet tissue. This toilet tissue is transparent and so brittle that it frequently breaks apart upon touch. Translation: Hold it until you get home, which in turn saves JRC even more pennies because then there is no need for any toilet tissue.

    I'll let my pride and joy, the spawn of my loins, explain it to you once again:

    Well done, son. Go feed the Rottweilers.

    We take turns. Pitchers and catchers reported last week.

    It's not just saved money on toilet tissue, its saved money on the water bill because if you hold it and don't go, there's no need to flush the toilet. ;D
