Just totally snapped in a meeting. Been going hard at work. Late night and early morning meetings. Working with an incompetent program manager and having to do her job.
She just asked me to review two slide decks I had already seen in response to a simple architecture/requirement question.
I know this is because she is clueless but hard to say in a meeting "You are an idiot just tell me the answer, you don't know do you?"
Except I just did
Reframed the question , pointed out its not listed in the deck, others agreed and then I asked again.
She looked so upset, long pause then told us she would have to get back to us.
Now I feel like a complete asshole. Even though she is a bitch always try to be a nice guy at work.
if everybody likes you, you're being usedalways try to be a nice guy at work
lol kind of my own office philosophy. I’m a producer not a box checker. If I’m not pissing in someones coffee occasionally (usually a manager) to get them to do their jobs and get what I need to see deals through, then I’m not getting much done at all.if everybody likes you, you're being used
One of the main reasons I will not work for a big corpo anymore. Had to **** into too many coffee cups to get simple tasks approved/accomplished. Too stifling and counter productive.lol kind of my own office philosophy. I’m a producer not a box checker.

I don't have that problem. There are people in the dept I have never spoken to who hate me.if everybody likes you, you're being used
I totally get that but I also kind of enjoy running roughshod and uncaring around the corporate environment, well known not to seeking any rank but to make bank. Sometimes I get too fired up about sh!t, but other wise the whole thing is a big game to make as much money as I can by the time I’m 50 and have some fun doing itOne of the main reasons I will not work for a big corpo anymore.

The move to remote work has greatly improved this. Far more people can fook off after lunch on a Friday instead of slogging it out until 5.Cannot say I miss and 'orifice', a cubicle, a tie, a coworker, a boss, yup... Not one bit of ANY OF IT!
Can't wait to get past this working life thing. Subway is so new York his white tee still say sunwear. Me? couple hundred grand in the brokerage to play with and safely make ~2k a month from the computer, I'm on a plane to rotate between southern Mexico and some island in Indo until death do my constituent atoms part.Cannot say I miss and 'orifice', a cubicle, a tie, a coworker, a boss, yup... Not one bit of ANY OF IT!
Just saying you strongly reflect the new York hard work lifestyle.What happened in that second sentence there?
There’s so many more ways to make a buck nowadays. I’m looking at some income generating investment properties as we speak. Will swoop my first in January then 1 per year for the next 5 years (at least).Ah, guilty As charged…The sun wear t sh!t thing confused me
im right there with you but I’m pulling the cord when I hit a few million. Ancillary income will come from renting our beach house every summer and hosting yoga retreats at our home in Nicaragua
