if they paid him any less he'd be force to go and find a job somewhere else, and that would leave you where exactly? oh that's right, in the poor house because you lost your job because the company went under because they gave up their brilliant leadership and foresight all so you could get a reported cost of living increase of 1.5%

someone asked "but we had a huge profit this year why can't we use some of that as a bonus?" and the answer was ":smuggo: that money belongs to the shareholders so we have to give it to them" lol i haven't done any real work in the two weeks since that meeting happened

this year our year end bonus was two speeches, instead of the usual one, about how we're lucky to have jobs at all and we should stop asking for higher salaries. the ceo really cares about us and he feel's "dissed" when we ask for more money. its tantamount to asking him to do layoffs and he just cares about us as people so much :cry:

nah it's good. wrapping up the week and knocking out some documentation while it's quiet, though I did have to come into the office when I usually WFH on Fridays :negative:

on the other hand it's because I've got a deaf high schooler visiting later today so I can show them around and they can see how a ~successful deaf person~ works in the corporate world

i hope you successfully inspire them, it is good to help future generations

if you're feeling bored just schedule a meeting or walk around until you find another manager with whom you can have a manager conversation.

you can take a nap sitting in a toilet stall, but i recommend that you don't actually start off by taking a poo poo. your legs might fall asleep, then you might fall off the toilet, and you'll just be there helpless on the bathroom floor with your rear end hanging out, unable to get up
