Month: July 2022

So i just woke up sick as hell. 101 fever, very scratchy throat, clogged nose, hot chills, the works. And u know what my first thought was ? Not if i was ok, not if my girlfriend or parents are ok. But whether or not i would lose my job if i called off… this stupid system has me caring about the shit that doesnt matter, over my health and happiness. And im a Yes Man. I try my best. I try to make everyone at work happy. But when it comes to my and my coworkers health and happiness, they give 0 fucks.. i hate this system, i hate management, and i hate this “At will” policy bullshit…

During World War II, the United States published a spy manual urging middle managers in enemy territory to sabotage their employers by bringing up irrelevant issues, promoting bad workers, haggling over petty details, and holding unnecessary meetings

The immediate context is I let a couple ex-coworkers that I respect and am friends with know about positions that were open in the company I moved to and it got back to my previous employer. abbreviated backstory is: I went to work with a friend's family business. I trusted them and thought I knew them quite well. Suffice to say things did not end well, I was fired after putting in my 2-week notice to quit.
