With all the firings and layoffs happening
in almost all industries,
it is time for another reminder
to keep a dirt file
on everyone in power
at the company you work for.
That means your manager,
your manager’s manager,
human resources,
executives,
others.
This dirt file contains
documentation,
especially on the dirty
or unethical things
these people in power do or say.
And they ALL do or say things
that could possibly get
their a$$es sued off
in court.
Take photos of messages.
Keep notes on phone calls,
writing down dates and times
and other details.
Anything that is semi-shady
or wrong
gets put in a database
your employer can’t access.
Because they WILL try
to wipe every device
they can
clean.
That is standard practice now.
I’ve only used
my dirt file once.
But that one time
saved a good man
his pension
and gave him a severance
that bridged him to retirement.
He has his house today
because I kept a file
on our unethical employer.
Keep a dirt file.
It will be well worth
the time and effort
involved.
And it is the only income security
we truly have
from employment.
