Asking for a friend… who works with me…

Time and time again I see scenarios where people get into shouting matches arguing about safety violations, breaking of labor laws, or outright abuse and harassment. You may feel rightfully angry already, but realize that anger is a reconnaissance tool for YOUR benefit that informs you of unfairness. Others knowing you feel angry puts you at a disadvantage and makes them defensive. You need their gates down and their walls unmanned. Bosses and managers have leverage over you that puts them at a stark tactical advantage at all times. Engaging them in open confrontation is among the weakest positions you can find yourself in. Do not “engage”. At the first sign of resistance, back off. It should never be allowed to get to the point of an open confrontation. There is a technique for dealing with difficult, abusive, irrational, aggressive people. Referred to sometimes as the “Five Step Hardstyle” in…

What was learned from an initiative, or how would success be measured? How can people discern what the outcomes would be like? We might need some new economic systems altogether. Perhaps the future is project-based, and perhaps it will focus more on research and discovery.

Had my last day at work today. Only 1 person from my team wrote in my virtual card (a colleague organised a virtual card – I think they felt sorry for me because of how ive been treated). I resigned because I was being singled out and bullied. My boss didn't organise anything for me. I've watched many people move on from the company and they all had paid lunches and gifts. I organised my own lunch and paid for my own lunch. It's such a weird experience to leave a job and to not even hear from the team I worked with. Not a word. Not a “good luck” NOTHING. My boss didn't even do a handover. I worked as a project officer for a not for profit in health. This whole experience feels so surreal. Anyway, just wanted to share.

I was miserable, not motivated and hated the thought of waking up and working for them. Now what am I doing? Started my own little company to see how it goes and work for myself. Honestly, if you ain't happy.. please leave your job. They are not worth it, expecially if you have Mental Health. You are just a number to them, you'll be replaced next week.
