Antiwork

I had an incident with a co-worker last night, he was making threats to “beat my a**” not his first time either hes threatened at least three other co-workers as well. So like any mature adult I didn't engagein the behavior and separated myself. I cooled off, gathered mythoughts and went back to have a conversation with my co-workerbut it ended just as well as the first interaction. At this point I called my boss and informed him that threats were being made again and he said he'd handle it. My co-worker ended up making ahuge mess and being that he was making threats and to the best of my knowledge nothing about the issue earlier in the night had been resolved I wasn't going to put myself in a position that could potentially end in a violent manner. Fast forward to this morning and I'm getting fired for failure…

I just learned this word and thought I would share. I’m confidant it beautifully summarizes many of our work environments here.

It costs me gas to drive to work, car maintenance to keep the car going to work, clothing and laundry to run the monkey suit that gets no attention.. lunch packing.. and I'm nowhere near the bathroom….. When we go to the office everyone wants to just stand around…

I feel like I’m complaining about a good thing and just need perspective. Job is in finance, talk to people all day long, am good at it. I have 6 years relevant experience and about 8 total years of a career in this industry. 2 years at current company. TC=$120k. I was promoted after about a year. Was up for a 2nd promotion this past month but didn’t get it. It would have put me in middle management but I am now still and Individual contributor. Never expected to get promoted so quickly. Consistently at the top of the department and praised by management. Get to wfh, solid benefits, and I occasionally enjoy the job. I…
