  • Talking to the big boss about my job performance and was told that I was a “jack of all trades, master of none.”

    Interviewed with him for a new position a month later and the guy I trained was given the job instead. The big boss told me he needed someone with wider experience and that I was too specialized. Later I found out my direct supervisor just told the big boss that I was indispensable and he couldn’t afford to lose me.

    No wonder the big boss had no fucking clue what I was doing despite me keeping a detailed record of it for him to review (that he never bothered to read). Guy just used his charisma to skirt doing his job and just said whatever bullshit he could pull out of his ass. Other employees who were burned by him still miss that asshole.

    My experiences have led me to believe the type of math someone is good at depends on their field (or what math they use regularly).

    Some biologists are excellent statisticians, far better than me. I’ve also learned to never trust those same biologists with unit conversions that a chemist would consider incredibly simple.

    Maybe for those who wish to support bombing foreigners while funnelling the military industry into their state.

    Motherfucker parades around like he’s antiwar because he voted “nay” on a single ballot initiative that was already a shoo-in and inconsequential for him to vote against. Literally a couple months later, he voted to further the funding for those military actions.

    Bernie has had blood on his hands for 30-40 years now and continues to try to wash it off with more blood.

    Someone who pretends to support the poor at home while simultaneously supporting bombing and invading the poor elsewhere sure is a role model, just not a good one.

    I knew an HR manager who pushed their own MLM scheme onto a large corporation as a way of rewarding employees for meeting certain milestones. We would get gift cards/points that could only be used through fucking Amway or some shithead company and when they finally called her on it (years later) she got a slap on the wrist and the entire program was just cancelled.

    I think your theory checks out.
