  • I saw it happen once when I was young team lead. I had a number of people that worked on my team.

    One day I was asked how many people we would need if we stopped doing one task. I was to naive to put two and two together.

    A short time later I heard the ops manager talking to someone about offering the people they planned to get rid of other work with the express intent of avoiding paying out unemployment.

    I couldn’t really do anything at that point other than warn my people, which I did. I found something else a short while later. I made sure to tell management why I was quitting, which was a long list of issues including them fucking over good people.






  • It’s funny because it seems like the universe is saying, “Hey Slurpee. Why don’t you become an alcoholic? It’ll be fun.” Not that I drink habitually or a lot. It just seems alcohol is being pushed everywhere I go.

    Work sucks because I have to do it. I imagine all the shit I’d have time to do if I didn’t have to work, both things I need to do and want to do. When I get done with work for the day, I feel too traumatized to do anything. So I put myself on autopilot until I can turn the world off and go to bed.

    I got a bit of satisfaction last week when I went to an event where I got to sit on a chair and do nothing for an hour. And that’s all that was expected of me.

    Oh, and a bucket of hammers from lemmygrad called me a Nazi, which would be laughable if they weren’t so serious about their “beliefs”.
