So maybe somebody just cutting through the BS and going "Look, I want to work for you and I know the job I want to do" is kinda refreshing?
w/e I just want the interview.
I am so disillusioned with work right now
tired of people drinking the koolaid about how critical their job is, tired of management attempts to raise engagement so they can wring more work out of us without making changes that would actually make people, you know, happier to be here
and the saddest part is that it's my job to brew the koolaid
combine equal parts sugar, and koolaid packet, mix with tears ;_;
Yesterday my boss called me into his office to ask me why an issue was labeled "Trivial" in the ticket system. I explained the severity scale to him (Trivial, Minor, Major, Critical) and he told me he was worried the user would get offended by having the problem labeled trivial.
I had to change the issue to "minor impairment".
So I did that, and then sent out another application.
