• Meetings, meetings, meetings. Everything gets discussed to hell and back.
  • Capslock should never, ever, ever be used in a corporate environment. NEVER.
  • I don’t care how much you’d like it to happen, boss, technical support can not help me violate the laws of physics and technology.
  • I am not an engineer. Why the hell do you have me working on servers? Pay me for it or go away.
  • 6 am sucks as a start time.
  • My boss currently has like 13,000 emails in her mailbox. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get her to reply to an email?
  • I have three weeks of vacation that I haven’t been able to take because I’m “the only person who can do my job”.
  • Did I mention I’m the lowest paid person under my boss? I’m the only one still hourly, too, because she’s too damn busy to remember that she said a year ago she would promote me.
  • It’s impossible to work here without backstabbing or being backstabbed.
  • STOP WITH THE MANAGERIAL LEET SPEAK. WE ARE PEOPLE, NOT RESOURCES. YOU DO NOT ‘ENGAGE A RESOURCE’, YOU ASK AN ENGINEER FOR HELP. IT’S NOT AN ‘ACTION ITEM’, IT’S A TO-DO LIST.
  • Bosses, please don’t micromanage. If you ask me to do something, trust that I’ll get it done without calling me at 11pm.

    • I’m sure I’ll be adding more to this as the day progresses.
