I’ve had my first job for a year now. My partner got his dream job which requires us to move. My job had an office in that state. But because of stupid in person team rules from this aloof dipshit VP (came from Amazon surprise surprise) they won’t let me move and keep working.
I thought if I could be reasonable and up front they would work with me. But now I’m just a corpse to them. Already working on replacing me. Even though it will be more expensive and might tank the project per the teams advice. I’m on 4 hours sleep right now so might just be ranting.
But I am disconcerted by the level of visceral hatred I feel towards this VP. So detached, so caught up in vapid buzzwords. Where do these people come from. Why are there so many of them in positions of power. How do I handle these feelings without making my partner feel guilty.
I’ve probably made a straw man out of him. He probably has a family and interests. I don’t like how I feel this way. I’ve never felt this way. I don’t want to go back out into the job market.
I could use the same advice right now.
I may have mentioned that our department would run more smoothly if the manager came to work more than twice a week. She didn’t really like that idea, and now she’s giving me the cold shoulder.
Yesterday I asked if one of our groups had used the pool. I saw it was originally part of their contract, but I didn’t see any pool time on their schedule. I was expecting a simple yes they did, or no they didn’t. Instead I got:
“because use of the pool was included in the contracted package and was ultimately not used, we need to ensure the overall value of the agreement remains equitable.”
Thanks ChatGPT. 🤦🏻♂️
