Your Employer sucks like mine and the office is open today NEGBANG

Submitted by FormAFarkingWall on

While driving to the office this morning, I was the only car at a major stop light.  On a typical workday I would have been joined by at least 40 cars.  There is actual GOOD football starting in 2 hours and I will be here AT LEAST 5 more.  NEGBANG MY LIFE.

At least be original. Have fun with tax payer funded retirement when you're 55 that you get whether your kids pass or not. Then come back in 2 years as a principal and double dip because "it's all about the kids" My favorite is getting the online masters where my friends copy all of the work their coworkers used before them to get an automatic raise. I know I know I know, but you have to grade papers at home after work! You're right, that's harder than brain surgery.

My wife is off work but of course my boss is all like "the bowl game is tomorrow" and "people are at work today--we can't let them actually WORK!" so here I am.

When you work in payroll, there really isn't such a thing as a day off or a slow day around this time of year. Everyone is scrambling around trying to put everything together before the end of the year, so I'm in one of the few industries that cringes when they think about the holidays.

every week day save the 5 or 6 major holidays, and they operate on a 25% rule for vacation time, meaning only 25% of the workforce can be gone for scheduled vacation.  I'm the lowest on seniority totem-pole.  Neg bang away.

I like my employer, but I'm at work too. I'm also on MGoBlog right now, so who can really complain.

I just set up a boozy lunch with a client, so at least I get some beers and food for free.  Silver linings.

I can't believe you even replied to samdruss, who is obvioulsy either a Communist or Warren Buffett, with that revolutionary workplace -altering jargon!

People meet goals because the goals are set! Not meeting them is failure - it doesn't matter if they're "marginal and inconsequential" or not...

I'd be all like: "samdruss, can you stop by my office on your way out today, I have somethng for you..." (silent aside: your final paycheck)

Kidding, kidding...

Does the department provide a therapist after that? That could really be a tough thing to work through. Don't know how you do it, but you really are important to your community. Way to hang in there for another year.

I'm still sleepy (lpac coast time). Thought for a sec that the last line read "BANG MY WIFE". Was thinking "that seems drastic". Anyway, if you're stuck in the office today, I feel for ya and am sending warm thoughts your way. Sneak a little time to stream games. Fight the power!

Work at a campus/public ice rink. Doing yeoman's work so everyone can safely skate in elipses around the ice. Business ramps UP during the holidays. It's so great.

Sales job but office is closing at 12:30 pm so I can't complain too much. Normally these days around Christmas and New Year are pretty slow but these last few days have been slammed.

I work for a great company, in a sales role but in our industry, the holidays are slow. We have been working a skeleton crew the past couple of weeks, meaning only working half days. Neg me, life is good.

Think about those who have to work on the West Coast. They might be home in time for the final game of the day...

Seems like it would make more sense to have a MAX of one playoff game on New Year's Eve (in the evening).  The other one (or both) can be on New Year's Day.
