Saying NO is a superpower!

"Hey, Sanctus. Where are you going? I was hoping you'd finish that report before noon?"

NO

"Uh, OK? Guess I'll see you at the meeting with our main customer then."

NO

See how easy that is?

Mate, it's impossible to work with you, we'll have to make you redundant, I'm sorry.

NO

Reminds me of that one scene in the first episode of Coupling where Jane refuses to be dumped.

Its really easy until everyone complains I'm saying no, my review scores drop, and I get fired. Idk what kind of heaven exists out there where you can actually say no without the rest of the office dogpiling you like rabid corporate zombies but its not the place I work at. I could say no once, that person hold a vendetta, and give me a 1/10 on my review, costing me a raise. Its absolutely a fucking Klingon culture up in here.

Saying no is a superpower, just not in the way the author of the original post intended. As comments like yours highlight, saying no to nonsense work is out of reach for the vast majority of people who would most benefit from it (i.e. workers who are bothered by managers). It sounds like your workplace is especially gruelling in that respect.

Its a slog for no reason, it doesnt have to be like this at all. The "leaders" create and actively maintain this environment. I have given whole presentations on how to fix it. They want it to remain a brutal revolving door.

It sounds like your coworkers lack honor! Perhaps it is time for them to experience Bij...

How's your shift going? Looks like a pretty busy morning! Hey could you please make sure you catch the markdown on the bread? The bakery counter didn't cover up the old barcode properly.
