Stirring The Pot

So, since the incident I've been on light doodie.
Basically I'm reviewing the rules and regulations of this wonderful place I work, and letting them know if I find something wrong.
About three days in, I did.
Not so much a discrepancy, but a concern.
We sell items that people aren't supposed to have.
A good two page report to the upper-crust and the next day I'm called into the bosses office to get chewed out about "reviewing" rules and regs "...not stating [my] opinion on what [I] think is wrong with them!"
Okay.
I took THAT well.
I'll just do what I do and not let anyone know when I think something is wrong.
Seems like this is a case for T-Shirt Hell.

Anyway, today I'm flipping thought the R&R and find something very disturbing.
Bettering yourself is not required, but definitely encouraged.
However, it seems as though, where I work, we have a little rule where if you choose to better yourself, and you fail, you will be fired.
Not you can, not you may, you will be subject to disciplinary actions (found via R&R) which are termination.

Let me break this down to you.
Not because I feel that you're dumb and need the explanation, but for those of you who follow along already know, this is the kind of thing I do.

Bob works at Disneyland (a respected name in Disney Entertainment) as Pluto.
Bob wants to be a main character such as Mickey Mouse.
(On a side note, if you sing through, M.I.C.-K.E.Y. but replace mouse with moose, it still sounds the same, only funnier... M.O.O.S.E. Mickey Moose, Mickey Moose...)
Now Bob goes through Mouse training and does just fine, but fails his mouse test.
To be fair, Disneyland gives Bob another chance at his mouse test anytime within 90 days of his original mouse testing, but he fails that too.
Now Disneyland fires Bob.
Not keeps him at Pluto status, not gives him more time to work on his mouse test.
FIRES him.
However, if Bob would have gone through, and failed, the duck [Donald] test, Bob could still be Pluto.

There is no difference in pay for being Pluto, or Donald, or Mickey, just an extra notch in the cap.

The only real difference is if Bob wants to be a greeter.
But once again, Bob can be a greeter as Donald, and not get fired for failing.
Mickey is a different story though.

We're punishing people for trying to better themselves, if they shoot to high and fail.

Anyway, I got my big wooden spoon and decided to address this with the higher echelon with my handy dandy letter writing skills.

So tomorrow, I figure I'll be making yet another trip in to see the big boss.
(Showing you where I work will have to do, I can't find a name tag.)


Don't let 'em getcha!
