Queen Bee

  1. New HR Director tries out a progressive new reward system (for senior Brattitude issues).

    I sure was not a Queen Bee, Belinda. And I avoided them in truth. My Christian, strict 1960s upbringing rewarded me as a Team player in the Atlanta corporations: all those Church & Bible Class scriptures & lessons did me good. I was a goody goody lil' Miss Two-Shoes but loyalty & good behaviour served me well in business.

    My bestie and lifelong mentor is a German friend, who I met in my early career (early 1980s) She is now in her 70s, going on 40! I was a new recruit to a big corp (straight outta college).

    Oh my! We shared so much at an early time. She gotten raised in 1950s Germany, in a strict, religious household. Her parents emigrated to Atlanta in the 1960s. Many people & businesses migrated to boom town Atlanta.

    She told me about her post-war, 1950s childhood & spankings with the Rohrstock: a dreaded, whippy, domestic, rattan cane she gotten from her mom, when she was naughty. She gotten it with her knickers down on a bare botty. Oh my! Just firm, routine and simple. No delays or debates. A Church & Authority advocated "bottom smacker". Absolute no wishy-washy nonsense, Belinda!

    It was all just so lovely & normal back then Belinda. CP not PC. And the same as I gotten myself, at home in the 1960s (with the "switch"). We have been best friends for forty years :-)
    Thanks
