Things you wish you could say (at work)

Napoleon complex is a thing.

And it is extremely frustating and irritating.

Well, so pushback is starting.

Work loves to give you extra duties without discussion or recompensation.

Recently the IT dept got tasked with yet another (yay) set of responsibilites, and this time we’re pushing back.

Manglement won’t like this, nothing they can do as we have labour laws protecting our asses. All (and any) goodwill we have for the company is gone like last month’s pay.

Remember, respect is a two-way street. And if you do not communicate and keep us up to date with plans etc, it kills off goodwill and respect too.

tealdeer : Manglement want us to be more productive but doesn’t want to bring their part.

And another thing.

I sometimes did things that were not in my job description, because it made things easier for everybody.

Now I do not. Electrical? Sorry, you have to wait for a qualified electrician.

Networking? Sorry, we need to move the network point and do it properly, which means waiting for the installations team.

Sorry, not sorry. I’m done.

T-minus 23 days until the start of the next fiscal year. Not sure if I should metaphorically stick my head in the sand until then or just accept as a given there will be another surprise meeting on that day or shortly thereafter.

Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.

Outlook, unless you’re going to identify which email address is no longer valid out of the several I sent the message to, why are you wasting my time telling me you couldn’t deliver the email to one address? Until the notification starts including which address doesn’t work any more, this is useless.
