Antiwork

Part 2 of what happened in my last post: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/saqyso/i_know_something_you_dont_i_know_something_youll/ So I left you guys for a bit, wondering if I should talk to my manager about what's bothering me. I was able to schedule a meeting with them. I told them I: 1. Felt disrespected by the way they keep rescheduling my meetings (about things that are important to me). 2.
