I'm in the fortunate position where boss people are impressed by how much work I do to help the others struggling with having bad bosses.

It pays well but plateaus as you start running out of bosses to defeat. Then you get in this awkward situation where everyone a tier below the c-suite wants you, but don't understand that you aren't up for sale in their game.

Been in NFP for a decade and people are still the same. But in NFP you get the leftovers that were never smart enough to be touched for a corporate role. Their idiocy cascades down to a workforce of 15,000 people that have to endure it; people that signed up to help others.

So, that's my job. Fuck the money—40% of my paycheck is donated—and my time is spent being real good at helping others by showing up the overpaid morons that make life hard. And surfing. And trains. And birdwatching and trees.

I'm intoxicated an am oversharing. o7

Fuck bosses. They're so useless, weak, and easy to defeat. All you gotta do is break their "network" with logic, and if that fails, a unionised force.

I somehow started rambling again...

I only understood "unionised force" and I gotta say "based".

Never tell them how long it’s really going to take. How else will you look like a miracle worker?

Always multiply your estimates by a factor of four.

Then find the bottle of green stuff.

I don't know what workplace you're at, but mine isn't fancy enough for absinthe.

Are you nuts? Do you know how much a pizza party costs? You little ungrateful shits, we’re gonna buy even more yachts now

Took me 20 years to realise getting things done quicker than others doesn't bring you shit if you get paid per hour. You have to stay your 8 hours. You'll just always be the work donkey and the lazy ass flirting with the boss will get promoted.

Beginning to think my productivity is simply being captured by my boss and turned into profit for my company's investors.

Without giving you your faire share? They wouldn’t dare.
