So far the new job is at a much slower pace than my old one and the office environment is much chiller.
I should honestly just be a personal trainer though but I didn’t want to make my hobby into a job

You eat pizza out of trash cans
I'm still in the glow, certainly not do it for half, but still very happy.
We had our annual comp cycle recently, and the recruiters were immediately out trying to get me to move on, but it's still more than I've ever earned by a distance

By DY_nasty Go To PostIt's crazy how quickly you can go from "I'd happily do this job for half" to "convince me to stay".My therapist would say this is an example of black and white thinking
Nah, just a change in leadership/management styles more than anything. My job itself hasn't changed, just the atmosphere. Previously, I worked a guy who was probably the most passionately indifferent person I've ever met in my life. That dude didn't need to understand much other than that you were trustworthy and able to see a W - no matter how far away or obscured it was. It threw me off at first, but his thing was actively setting the table for anyone in the section to be the star at any given moment. Dry periods kinda sucked, sure, but in a high tempo office he was the perfect guy for the job.
My current counterpart actively compartmentalizes information without understanding the full context or variables in play. He's also one of those guys that truly believes in sharing all successes - even when he's the one being pushed along. Because the other guy was much more involved, he knew exactly how much lift went into efforts. This guy just assumes. And while there's a bit more freedom in the different style of hands-off, not fully grasping the work being done makes it harder to appreciate it or understand. Further, highlighting adjacent offices for their achievements comes off like a dismissal to his own people when those adjacent offices are trying to catch up with us in the first place.
All this just makes me want to get the degree simply to be the driver in these types of instances instead of being along for the ride.

Started my new job a few days ago
I know it’s still the first week but damn. I didn’t think it was possible to wake up and not hate existence

yearly review done.
somehow they still think im the greatest thing since sliced bread even though i phoned this year in.
also changed up our commission structure so we get paid more and paid out all year instead of having to hit a floor quota that doesnt hit until October since our business is backloaded.
i guess i'll stick around another year and see how it goes while i continue to pursue my powerlifting goals. still got some feelers out for other opportunities though.

Security at our company is getting ridiculous lately. Want to do anything? Sign into the corporate VPN. But first, enter your credentials, then do the two factor authentication, then solve this captcha puzzle…
What’s that, you want to go to a DIFFERENT internal website? 2FA again!

a captcha behind authorization? lol what
Optimally you are using a authorized device for access. It sounds like they disabled KMSI to prevent token theft. Or they just don't know what they are doing.

December is my favorite part of the work calendar year. Easy street for the most part and everyone is chill.

Got some opposition cunt trying to force us into court ASAP before Christmas and I keep weighing up whether I can professionally justify sending him death threats.

So I looked up the original quote and it was taken out of context: https://www.businessinsider.com/panera-founder-workers-not-motivated-making-money-shareholders-ceo-therapy-2023-12?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=business-sf&r=US&IR=T
He wasn't suggesting employees should care but then he suggest therapy over paying fairly.

Not the employees. All the employees get is empathy from the managers and c-suite. Not material change to their work life.

My last pet peeve is folks 20+ years older than me not bringing anything of value

She wants you to shed layers. Start disrobing. It could turn into Netflix night or an HR case.
