Reading between the lines.

I had my yearly review yesterday, and amidst the positive comments I started to have this nagging feeling. I was told about how the new guys we are hiring have been in the bike business for like eight years, and my boss kept repeating the fact that she was having the screws put to her. And as much as she likes her core group of employees, she would hate to see someone lose their insurance because she could not afford to keep them at the end of the season. (hint maybe?) Again and again she used that phrase "having the screws put to her", because it's not going to be her fault when the diabetic with the heart condition loses his health care because he's not as much as a tool as the bros that he works with. I can read between the lines, job security and seniority don't mean dick.

figure 1. read between these lines.

If anyone knows corporate jargon it's me. Start looking for a back-up, babes.
