But... but... but...

It's proving that my 25 years of being paid 3 times as much as the people I "manage" has been a complete scam the entire time!

Hey, if they're getting all their work done on time, they're probably not getting enough work /s

And the 9 floating around managers will figure out to send THAT email, right?

Oh. Wait. No. You right.

Dem 9 gonna have 7 pointless meetings.

So frustrating how a remote world is exposing that...

Edit: not sarcastic. Satiracle.

Call me Candide.

My supervisors are the worst with this.

I work a physical labor job and the supervisors are supposed to help with that. What they do instead is idie away chatting and spending inordinate amounts of time "doing" it work.

Thankfully, in a backwards sort of way, after one of them tried dodging their work when the venue needed to be turned over for a city council meeting, our manager has throughly chewed them out.

Still, I don't have much faith in them, but we'll see where that goes.
