I could work faster and get my shit done but why would I want to have my bosses give me more shit to do.
I already have two people's work to do by myself, I'm not going to move faster than a shuffle for what they pay me.

Remember, never work any harder or faster than you're getting paid for.
Only do enough work to avoid getting fired.
This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.
I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.
They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I'd keep working on stuff. But they'd rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.
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.
Making it is one. Then there is paperwork, all the changes never mentioned and sitting in meetings. Now the time needed it's times four. It's legit.
Then find the bottle of green stuff.
I don't know what workplace you're at, but mine isn't fancy enough for absinthe.
What i was picturing lol
That shit looks soo good! 😋🤤
That's more addictive than Aldebaran whiskey! And way more expensive too!
Are you nuts? Do you know how much a pizza party costs? You little ungrateful shits, we’re gonna buy even more yachts now
weren't you just gonna buy more yachts anyways, though?
Gee, aren't yachts amazingly flammable for being watercraft, though?
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".
I read it as un-ionised and didn't make a lot of sense.
There is something to be said for unionising on a micro level. A team of 3 or 4 can make much more ground than organising 1000 workers. Always look for that opportunity by getting deep and essential. Never let them know it's coming and always have an idiot boss to deflect to so they canabalise each other.
Done well, you get deeper by "saving the day" or whatever.
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.
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.
Agh, I thought the working dude threw his pile onto the manager while he was bringing more and I was like YES
