Just had a boomer with 40 years of experience throw me, a 1 year vet in the industry, under the bus to our boss because I ‘took too long’ to do something so he couldn’t finish his work, even though I tried coordinating the handoff to him 2 hours before the end of the day.
Same guy who loudly listens to right wing talk radio (Glenn beck and Megyn Kelly of all people) from across my desk. The day after the kidnapping of Maduro I made some comment about being woken up to news of an invasion and the guy somehow got super defensive about it not being an invasion and US just taking a bad guy out.
Like, I’m always polite and personable but I just want to go mask off. I’m not going to throw people under the bus, and hell, if I did, I’d still get fucked. In a reasonable world my boss would be like, ‘dude you are a grown man complaining about the most junior person on the team’
But this will likely result in me getting fired for undermining the performance of the company. Fucking ridiculous man.
that’s why i dont talk about anything political with my co workers. and if they were 40 years older, even moreso. if theyre a boomer theyre almost definitely ultra-fash.
I was just calling it an invasion in passing following the immediate aftermath of the assault, didn’t think this would betray my commie ass. To be honest, it’s probably not anything political I’ve said, probably something else about myself gives it away…
