It doesn't matter if you never reach your goals. If you are well fed, housed and have some kind of community, what else is there to life? It doesn't matter if your company isn't that successful. It doesn't fucking matter if you never have 1 million dollars. It doesn't matter if we conquer the world or not. We're all gonna fucking die anyways, so why be so fucking arsed about making an 'impact' when in reality we can all just lead peaceful, abundant lives where we care for each other. It doesn't matter if you don't sell a million units of whatever stupid product your shoving down everyones throats. It doens't fucking matter if you never get that audacious Lambo just to rev it really loud like a bitch in the streets. Nobody actually supports these narcissistic visions and tendencies. We all just want peace and food and love in…
S I X T Y percent
Long story short, my work is having a pickup sports day for employees. Sounds like fun? It is. I WAS excited for it…. One of the managers even came up to me asking if I was in, I said yes, and they asked if I had equipment or if I'd need to rent some.

And to top it off, my coworkers got to KEEP the stuff they rented AND their friends who don't…
management duties without pay.
The back story..I work as a mechanic/service tech for a utility vehicle rental company. I maintain a fleet of 800+/- vehicles. Since day one I have had issues and difficulties getting replacement parts due to internal management issues, this obviously slows down productivity, But it's been an ongoing issue and is my primary limiting factor in doing my job but… I just deal with it. I found out that at the end of the month, in order to “take things off my plate” they are moving another tech to the rental dept to help me out and are hiring a yard/lot guy to organize the yard and do other small things so I don't have to so I can focus on repairing and maintaining the fleet. Now in not mad about having the extra hands on deck but i just got informed about an hour ago that it's now my…
My co-worker is being overly selfless and it cost her a better job with better pay. So background about our organization/ team and everything. We are an association management and services organization; we primarily service 3 small local professional associations with professional services, but primarily we help put on their events. These events are anything from a 2-hour presentation with a networking cocktail reception afterward, formal galas, happy hours, small 1 to 3-day conferences, etc. We probably handle about 2 events a month. We are a team of 3-5 people which is composed of our boss/CEO alias John, our events coordinator alias Kelly, our events and operations manager alias Fred, me (marketing and communications manager), and our sponsorship sales coordinator alias Zelda who is part-time. We've been down our events manager since shortly before Christmas, and things have rapidly gone downhill since his departure. As our education and…
