Where do they get off?
(media.piefed.world)
That happens sometimes
Yeah, it's a disgrace!
Boss don't do shit why I gotta do shit??
Look I didn't get a job because I needed work, I got one because I need money.
The audacity of some people.
At any given moment, an ambitious snake of a coworker will ask you if you can just do the job youre currently engaged in for them please.
Its specifically your job, and you were in the middle of it, but now you're doing it under the direct instruction of this lazy fucker. You can say no, look petty and aggressive and he'll get chosen for promotion over you. Or of course you can do it, and management will applaud his initiative and he'll get chosen for promotion over you.
Brace yourselves, itll happen to you.
this is when you bring it up to your boss
"hey I was working on ___ and soandso was asking about it, are there any new requirements I'm not aware of?"
"Sure, just let me finish "
But I am too busy thinking of fixes for problems we haven't run into yet, why do I have to deal with this problem we did run into?
I don't get it. He hates his job? Is that the joke?
I think it's just a human reaction to work sometimes. Like, it's clearly your job and why you're employed, but part of you is also like:
As an engineer, ill frequently get an email or slack message asking me to do something Im employed to do but haven't done in months. I have to drop my current work and try to relearn something that is now slightly different in unexpected ways. And its already broken too, thats why I got the message. Def ruins a day.
Ugh, sometimes it sucks hard when that happens, at least for a moment.
That looks kind of like Philadelphia.
