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.

    and the people who signed and created the petition still dont think they were in the wrong

    when normally itd take a year and a half after the first one

    Yeah… as someone who quit a job over somebody not even being at the workplace for a year yet getting a promotion over me (who had been there for 5 years, and had going for said promotion for 3 years at that point), I can’t exactly blame the people who made the petition for that. Someone being fast tracked like that sucks to be around, and will poison the workplace with a lot of resentment.

    Edit: I should also add that everyone “knew” said person was getting the promotion because the division or shift manager told the our shift division lead to take them off the line and “see if they can handle the job” a full 6 months before.
