I propose the “Managers Fetch Coffee” paradigm: An outline, for your critique

This is just an idea that I have been playing around with. A new way for companies to organize their teams of workers. Imagine you have a team of 12 workers, and a manager overseeing their work. He set's deadlines, organizes meetings. He hires people and MAYBE he fires people from his team. Pretty normal stuff, but by some mechanism of outside force (company culture, higher-ups enforcing this paradigm via reviewing his decisions) He is not the GodHead of that team, he simply has a role on that team. His role is to organize the environment for that team to do the best job possible. Sometimes this means firing misbehaving, lazy, incompetent members, I guess, but it also means procuring resources for the team, fencing emails and other distractions all day, and fetching coffee for the team (Assuming the team member doesn't want to stretch his legs himself).

Work apologies I am the Ahole

So I had teams chat at work that got out of hand. The other person became condescending to me. So I responded back. He reported me to HR because I called him out for not doing his job.

I am so sick and tired of someone who dishes it out but complain s when it gets handed back in turn. Maybe I am the ahole on this one but just can’t take it anymore.

This is insanity.

I don't want to fucking work. I do not want to commit 40 hrs plus the 10 to fucking commute and get ready every day to a fucking job. I work in an office and I am SO miserable. Do I like what the job provides? Yes. Do I like the benefits? Yes. Do I like financial stability? Yes. But I am literally going insane taking 100+ calls a day being screamed at about a companies policies that I have no fucking control over. On top of that point systems are fucking stupid and outdated. I told my boss I was leaving today because my grandma was in the hospital and they guilt tripped me. “oh but so and so is going to be left alone tonight.” Okay? Who's fucking fault is that? Y'all fire people left and right and treat us like shit. Then they have the fucking audacity…

You guys probably wouldn’t want to work from age 10 to 107, but you don’t have 97 years of money, do you!?

Sabotage..

Has anyone here ever deliberately broken workplace equipment or sabotaged the workplace process? What are the legal ramifications and what is the burden of proof?
