Work is Hell

[Kory]

I couldn't remember if we have a "bitch about work" thread so I started this. Mostly to complain that I have my 6-month check-in in 10 minutes and I'm super not in the mood for a compliment sandwich today.

Sit with an inane plastic grin the entire time.

I like my manager and don't want to weird him out, I was just not in the mood for going through the motions today.

The last time I had a job that had that kind of crap, it was great because the person who had to do my evaluation interview didn't care for me (she was super uptight and resented people who got along with the co-workers). But she didn't get to do the evaluation, so she had to deliver all this positivity thru gritted teeth. I know I responded with a "that's very nice to hear from you" because it would cut at her.

I hope you brought it up other times too—really drive the stake in by referencing the praise in your day-to-day, but as if she had generated it. "Hey boss, just got those papers in like I know you like!"

She disliked me and another guy in particular, so we made a point of being very positive around her. It also irritated her to no end that he and I were on very good terms with the office manager. We die our work well and we made her laugh. We were kinda bulletproof from criticism from others because of that.

I accidentally called someone out in what I thought was a 1:1 chat but was actually a group chat.

People need to be publicly embarrassed sometimes. It's the only way they'll learn.

That's what someone else said.

Im okay if you want to rebel against the system and not do work, just tell me on the side and I'll never bug you again. Ive found a way to circumvent him and I'll happily continue to do so but it was funny how he has failed to respond to emails and direct messages repeatedly but once he saw me say he ignores my queries in a group chat he was immediately "ready to help". We'll see what upper management has to say after the holiday. I deleted the messages but I didn't apologize.

In nobler times, people would have realized that is name was, in fact, prophecy.

All of this is reminding me that one of the things I like about my work is that I don't have co-workers in a meaningful sense. All I've ever wanted from work is to be left the fuck alone.

I'm trying to find the right path to obtain that for myself, but I'm just kind of floundering around trying to think of what I could do. Definitely feeling more and more like it's time for a pivot.

It's rarified air. The Boss is undeniably successful and high status, yet plagued by other people. I'm easily replaceable chum, yet I've secured a position in the framework where I'm mostly operating in the margins and shadows.

Most of my interactions are with my own team that I had a large say in who is on it and Ive been around long enough to know who to reach out to for most things but this guy is part of a relatively new team of people who don't know their asses from elbows in a technical sense and are jist completely unresponsive.
