So today was swell. Turns out we (the Toronto office) lost the company $100,000. Oh joy.
Long story short, none of us thoroughly read the memo regarding a company buy out. All we knew was that we were a deposit point for the shares. 99.9% of the time we get emails from the Calgary office directing us what to do if a buy out is different than usual. We didn't get any emails, so we thought it was business as usual. We also didn't get any notice of when the expiration date was, when 99.9% of the time we get multiple emails stating so.
All said and done, we should have read the memo in detail. They should have sent us updates. We lost $100,000 as the market has been crashing and people wanted cash instead of the stock they received.
Now we don't get our October bonus
This afternoon was fun I thought we were all going to get fired as Randy was PISSED.
Whose responsibility was it to follow the correct procedures?
You really wonder what some of your colleagues are doing, if they don't read the memoes, don't bother to make their hours (showing up late, extensive lunches, leaving early), don't know what the *bleep* they are supposed to be doing ...

Well, we all get the memos, but it's Joanne's job to go through them and let us know if we are involved and what our role is. This one she just said we were a deposit point, which technically we were, but there was more to it that she missed.
That's the thing though, we were excluded from all the information being exchanged during this buy out so we had no idea what was going on. We should have been informed. Ultimately the blame rightly falls on our office, but this could have been prevented if we were included in what was going on.
I just realized something, my october bonus is what was paying for my trip to mexico for my friends wedding....damnit.

Tell, me is there actually a part of her job that Joanne does not screw up? You did not read the memo, fair enough. But the one person who gives the details of the memo (as per her job) screwed up, and that is costing you, personally.

She would be great if she was doing something outside operations, like client services. She is very knowledgable, just kind of useless when it comes to my area.
Anyways, we're all waiting to see if anyone gets fired. I'm crossing my fingers that it isn't me. I think I am in the clear but if I had read the memo myself this wouldn't have happened. *fingers crossed*
You really should be fine. If you go, the whole office goes.

Good luck, Weiser, keeping fingers crossed as well! You are too valuable and too Great an Employee to lose!
