What sucks is your boss probably had nothing to do with the situation and is suffering just as much under increased workload. Fuck the C suite

Nah unfortunately he was choosing people too, mostly folks he didn’t like. At one point he stood behind my desk and said, “We really need to make things more efficient here.” Then gave me a long stare with a smirk.
