There's nothing to get beyond the fact that you got caught fucking up keeping your lies straight. You should be used to finding yourself in such unenviable positions. Either one or both got promoted. You've told two different stories here. Fraud.

On January 8th, just one was promoted. A mere eight days later, they both have magically been promoted.

LOL! Now, eight days after the initial report of one promotion, they both got promotions. Look how difficult it is for him to keep his lies straight. Oh what a tangled web!

He's just tripping over his lies. More weasel-word bullshit on its way from him.

Of course, no mention of what they were promoted from or to.

You've indicted yourself over and over again here on charges of not understanding what Continuity of Operations Plans are, as well of course as not comprehending simple, basic, standard English. It is not necessary for you to repeat a step-by-step narration of the corrupt processes by which your flagrant stumbles and bumbles occurred. It is already quite readily apparent that you are but a naked ignoramus who believes in the redemptive magic of simply talking through his hat. Fool.

To recap, each of The Principals has been promoted in 2022, just as has been previously reported but entirely misunderstood in the scrambled brains of poorly educated oafs. One promotion was a more or less ordinary upgrade in station and salary keyed to smoothing over staffing shortages, while the other was a COOP-related move from the ops side into the corporate hierarchy. I wonder if you can make you way through all of that. Slug.

LOL! COOP's don't explain what the principal was promoted from or to. It's just more weasel word bullshit from you. Unlike you, I've actually participated in numerous COOP exercises in the past. I am far more familiar with them than you. That's why it is laughable that you use the acronym in the restaurant world when the term "business continuity plan" is the much more appropriate and accepted term.

Of course, babbling on about COOPs doesn't really explain how an individual you once billed as the "top dog" or "highest authority" can be promoted. Promotions involve being advanced in rank. What rank is above the highest authority?

LOL! You can't convey your thoughts in simple, basic, standard English. One day one principal is promoted. Eight days later both are. You also claimed to have dined downtown at Chez Francois in the 90s.

Yes, let's recap.

January 8th:

One promoted.

Eight days later on January 16th:

Now, two are promoted. But wait.....

Let's not forget that on just the day before there were apparently two promotions, I was admonished because I apparently named the wrong principal that was promoted.

If they were both promoted, how do you know I had the wrong one?

Face it, you fucked up. You can't keep your lies straight. No amount of weasel wording will remedy that predicament for you.

Neither makes it sound like they were much of a principal then. More like mid-level shift managers. At best, general managers. Of course, all of this weasel-word bullshit is just an attempt to cover up for the fact you told two conflicting stories.

Where did you previously report the "upgrade in station and salary" promotion?

The prob. here is Gerund Boy's drunk now & was drunk when he garbageposted all that stuff. He didn't even know what he was posting when he posted it & he sure doesn't know what he posted now.

If Old Pottymouth was really a "wealthy retiree", he could afford to be a champagne drunk instead of drinking Velicoff or whatever rotgut it is he drinks. 1 of the probs. with that cheap stuff is it rots your brain & guys faster than usu .
