I've been at my job for a decade, and I love it. My old supervisor was cranky as shit, and I took pride on getting them to warm up to me over the years. They were getting up there in years, and recently retired (congratulations!).
There was some shuffling around, and I got put under a supervisor from another department and it's the most annoying situation. This person is GREAT at their job. Amazing. Phenomenal. They're also one of those alt-news or Q people. It's bizarre. We'll be having a totally normal conversation about, say, our kids/grandkids. Normal chat about back to school colds or something then they'll throw in one batshit crazy thing like “all teachers are pedodiles” and go straight back to normal convo. Wtf.
Even more bizarre is they're aware it's a professional problem. They've been in trouble for it before. I don't know if they can't control it, or if they think we're “cool like that”. Spoiler: we're not. Now I'm stuck in the dumbest situation. Because they've been in trouble already, they're most certainly going to get canned if I say something. Unfortunately for me (lucky for them) I like them, the 98% of the time they don't go off the tracks.
Such a stupid situation.
The icing on the cake? Almost every time they say some dumb shit it's extremely personal.
“All teachers are pedos” – My other job is at a school
“Deport all the Mexicans” – cousin is here under the DREAMER act
“Jews brainwashing through media” – My sister is Jewish
And so on and so on.
So if you're out there, “Linda”, I'm trying, I am. Please do the same. Just change the channel. Pick a different website. Shit, believe whatever you want, just keep it at home, eh? You're good at your job. Keep it.
