i just left a meeting with one of my client facilities.
”have a good attitude!” “leave your shit at the door!” “make people like you!”
everytime some elitist topdog trying to do less for more money launches into this corporate bs, i want to vomit. did i mention he’s sleeping with one of his clients? should i do that, too? i’m so tired of community D setting the standards for corporate business practices, which have become standard even with smaller, non-franchised businesses these days.
the US just destroyed female reproductive rights in most states, the PornHub/MindGeek situation…all of this is going on and we’re just supposed to put on a pretty smile and be cheerleaders for less than a living wage.
it makes me want to see how much i can get away with not doing.
maybe i need to interface less with clients and see if he’ll create a programming specialization for me. i just can’t seem to network efficiently without some IRL appearances.
i suppose a lot of this points to me needing to level up career-wise.
You're in a toxic cesspool, it'll drain you. You can't outmaneuver it, it's like quicksand. The best option would be to get a job elsewhere because you'll never be valued or treated with respect. It took me over a decade in corporate to truly understand the problem was them, not me. Take your talents elsewhere.
As an introvert, that sounds exhausting.
