When You Pay Someone For Doing A Bad Job Because You Know The Grind Sucks

My mother went to get her car washed and get a total internal clean and had some old guy assigned to it. She told me the man missed spots and forgot to clean the inside. When she reminded him he apologized and said he'll do it again if his manager gives the okay (i guess be has to follow some procedures) but my mother said it's okay since she was worried he'd get in trouble. She told me she could tell the guys knees were shot and he was this skinny old frail man who looked exhausted. It's some straight cruelty where older people are still forced to work because there's no support.

Return to the office? No thanks!

I've worked for my company for nearly 8 years and after multiple conversations, last week I resigned due to the push to relocate to a different city, despite the majority of my team being remote. I sent an email to our CEO on the way out. The job market is good out there folks and make sure you advocating for yourself. Anyone have the odds on this guy responding? I put them at about zero. Hi CEO! After 8 years, today is my last day at Company Name. Before closing the books on my time with the company, I feel compelled to share a brief reflection with you.
