Just Another reason to not work at Meta
I work in the public sector. All of our IT is managed centrally, which seems like a good idea, but is done really badly. For about 2 years there has been a project to create a website to host some information to external users. It's rumbled on for so long that I created it in SharePoint in a morning. It's really to roll out to users internally and externally at my managers discretion. The shit department not doing the work won't be punished for dicking around. I won't be rewarded for finally doing the thing. I hate how no one is responsible.
Some Respect from the Outside
Hi Everyone. My beliefs are not even close to anti-work. Nonetheless, there are a few things I agree with here: Playing hardball with your employers. If you want to get paid more, do what you need to do to get paid more even if your employer doesn't like it. He isn't any more special than you are. Not letting your employer guilt trip you into doing something that is against your interest. When you are working, you take of yourself and the job. When you are not or should not be working you take care of yourself. Employees should demand that employers should not actively make their lives worse. Important life events. Go take that trip to see your dying relative. Follow your religious practices. Take a vacation every once in a while. If you listen to enough close minded people you might learn something. Have a good week.
Just don't go into the office, what's the worst that can happen? A bad performance review? You aren't getting a raise or a promotion anyway, so why would you even care? https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenamcgregor/2022/07/20/in-the-return-to-office-standoff-many-workers-say-they-face-few-penalties-for-staying-home/?sh=7a1b38fd7188
