  • Got a new boss once my company merged. First round table meeting and he starts attacking our imaging team for not working fast enough, claiming all received requests should and could be boxed and shipped within 48 hours of being received.

    After the imaging team kinda fumbled their words, I stepped in and just flat out said that is not true, not of what he said was true. Then explained why. Having to break it down for him that these are office tech workers that support one of the largest teams with the highest turnovers. They don’t have the luxury of sitting down and doing nothing but one thing consistently.

    The guys hasn’t spoken to me in almost 2 years sense. Other than “hey I’m sick, hey I’m going on PTO, e.t.c.” he passively snaps at me if I speak up in team meetings now. It’s fuckin hilarious.





  • I can’t help with the middle days but I have a trick for Friday. Look for something the entire week that can be pushed, for a semi valid reason, to Friday afternoon/evening. Preferably something that’s easy but takes a lot of waiting. That way when someone tries to drop some shit on you last minute you can say " sorry boss I’m already scheduled for x or y priority task, it’ll have to wait until Monday " it doesn’t always work, especially if your boss is a fucking Slave Driver. But it has saved me a few times.

    Right now I have a ticket scheduled for around 3:30 that should keep me “busy” until 5.












  • If your using outlook. Goto File > options > Mail > then scroll down to the " send messages " section . In there you should see a checkbox for " warn me when I send a message that may be missing an attachment. "

    Once that’s enabled outlook looks for keywords in the body of the email such as attached, attachment, e.t.c. and will warn you if there’s nothing attached.

    So if you at any point in the email say " please see attached, issue is attached, screenshot attached e.t.c. " then you’ll be in the clear.
