Welcome to our Friday ritual! I want to hear about all the bullshit you had to put up with last week! This week, I’m setting a reminder to make this post again on Friday!
Working a little sneaky off the books work this week being reminded how much tax gets taken off normally
My pretax income is close to $90k, after tax and health insurance it’s closer to $50k, after rent it’s about $30k
Groceries alone cost my family about $1500/mo minimum (we usually eat one meal a day) so real expendable income is closer to $12k at the end of the year.
I also have one of the highest paying jobs in my area …
sounds pretty similar to my situationIs say that situation is similar to about 60% of Americans. With 49% having it even worse and 1% having 100x what we have
I got sick Wednesday into Thursday and was out today too. Otherwise a dull week!
Same familia tell you what though I am fucked up. Haven’t been this sick in a while. Some sort of GI thing.
Usually I bounce back in 2 days tops but going on 4 days, I haven’t been this sick since I had covid
That sucks comrade! Hopefully it starts winding down soon.
me too, it was great. didn’t have to answer a single phone or get yelled at by a single boomer treatlerite.
Starting a new job on monday and so incredibly nervous I’m having trouble sleeping + stress nightmares. I don’t like the career I’m in and I keep thinking that I’m going to get fired five minutes after I walk through the door (I lasted at my previous job doing the same sort of work for two years). Also I can’t get hired to do anything else.
smoke weed before sleeping to eradicate those pesky dreams
That literally does not work for me, my dreams get absolutely wild instead. Which is fine by me.
I was on vacation this week. I do not feel rejuvenated and will not be any more prepared to work on Monday than I was a week ago.
clocks out hogs out it’s time for chapo dot chat
Everything about corporate life is so fucking absurd, I don’t know why I’m still here
It definitely could be worse, but someone put in an *URGENT ticket to press a button in our CRM. I’m more so hung up on the utter meaningless of it all and how these people are valued so much more than me, but yeah. Literally just had to login to our CRM and click a button, but they made it an all day endeavor.
This person is a 🌠 leader btw
Too bad there can never be a remote luigi
that’s how you get to be a leader. you don’t know how to do things so you get pushed up the ladder
Yesterday someone from the executive office came in to the sales department with a printout of a graphic design that was two variants of a moon and stars with a circle around them. Oh black outline, white fill, black crescent moon and stars, and the other inverted same design.
He asked everyone in my office what first came to mind. I said the first thing I thought of was yin and yang, of course the IT guy said “light mode and dark mode” other answers were similarly innocuous.
He mentioned that someone above him (who could only be the owner) said he thought it might be “problematic”. So I had to satisfy my curiosity and asked why.
The owner said “it looks Islamic”. Said owner is in the Epstein files.
For anyone curious as of the time of me asking, 21 of us answered anything but “looks Islamic”.
My boss literally did a
moment lmao.Porky looking at the moon every 28 days like
Mohammed rises! The waning crescent is here! And I haven’t finished my spirit healing!
week of failing to wrangle assholes that wont reply to emails, assholes getting pissed for no reason, and heaps of assholes dropping in the 11th hour to shit on what’s already planned and being implemented. oh and management fucking lying to everybody!
Im on a smoke break, finally got one after 4 hours of non stop dinner rush. I feel tired and nauseously hungry and still need to finish service and do clean up. The dishwasher tonight is the chef’s wife so we wont have a dishwasher while closing
Manager told us this week that client numbers will go up for our team because we have been present so much and are doing well. Other teams with more sick leaves who have not done so well now get to move some of their clients to us so we too can start doing poorly. Great.
Ah yes, the classic managerial method of punishing the successful.
I’ll join this next Friday since this is my last Friday of freedom as i just accepted a new position in a new hell.
Welcome to the new hell, same as the old hell!
Had an interview this week for a position closer to my field. Interview went well, was told I’d hear back by Monday. I’m still pretty optimistic about it, but we’ll see.
Work sucked, I hate my job. Interviewing at 2 other places…one will be easier and less money, one will be the same suck but more money. I hope I get the easier one I’m burnt out and either one will pay me enough to live so whatever
I voluntarily ate a $75 cancellation fee because I was that desperate for work and now I’m thoroughly regretting it.
Unproductive. No new beanis photoshoops. I did manage to fix an electric fly swatter so I’m halfway to having a very weak stun toy for pranking myself with.
Doing my part to end the empire.
