Contract Work Would Seem Cathartic In The Final Years Before Retirement. Might Add A Couple…

Be Efficient, Get The Work Done Faster Than Others, Do No More
In foreign language classes, I would describe my summer or weekend using words I knew from the lessons even though it was lies. While my classmates would struggle to find the words to describe their actual weekend/summer. Work smarter, not harder.

The only reason I'm available to my coworkers outside of work hours is because they've shown they don't take advantage and have earned that right from me. In other jobs I've worked that has decidedly not been the case and I did not work outside of work hours period.

The first one is how petsmart store managers run things. Except for David, David's idea of running the store was sitting in his office watching the security cameras. If he saw something he didn't like, he'd call for you over the intercom to come to his office. He'd actually lock his office door & pretent he wasn't in there when we'd get slammed & needed his help. Because heaven forbid he get his 600lb a$s up & do actual work. Fk you David.

Agreed, though I wouldn’t call that acting like a robot. More like a frustrated child. “You’re quitting?? Well you can’t ‘cuz I’m firing you!”

In my case I gave my 4 week notice then 2 days later my boss said I was let go for being incompetent (I worked there for 14 years), yet they've been asking me still how to do my job.
Oops 😂😂

For the last time, the expression “money can’t buy happiness” is NOT meant to convince poor people that they should not want more money. It is almost the opposite: how many rich people do you know who have ugly divorces? Having money can’t fix that, and it can even make it worse. Great wealth does not guarantee happiness, but great poverty more or less does guarantee misery.

My manager showed up at the hospital to make sure I wasn't faking the emergency appendix removal surgery I needed 🙄. Fortunately my husband was in the room & quietly recorded her going off on a rant about me being in the hospital & demanding to know excatly when I'd be back etc. I sued for hostile work environment, harassment, mental anguish, and a couple other things. They tried to lowball me a settlement but I refused & won big. The jury was flabbergasted that a manager would actually go to the hospital to harass an employee over an emergency surgery that was completely not my fault. 🤣

Yup. The only way to make money these days is to steal it, deal d***s, win the lottery, run a scam, or inherit it.
