Jesus H Christ that’s wild.
Good on you for standing your ground, though. I think if more people said “wow you should have planned that better then, huh?” we’d be in a much better place. I’ve done longer days only to still get bitched at and so I decided that I will only ever work overtime if I feel as though it was a personal failing or a promise I failed to keep that someone is relying on.
I seriously don’t get how these people get themselves so much power and money. Well, I do, and that’s that they get there on the backs of others who let them do it for one reason or another. If we just stopped taking their bullshit they’d have nothing since they have no real skills on there own. They aren’t fuckin’ archmages who’ll bend us to their will, they’re dweebs with no real skills and their power is only as strong as the people willing to enable them.
Believe me, I was just as baffled about how they got where they are. That is, until I found out that they'd all grown up together and were all rich off their parents' money. They were MORE incompetent than I thought they were, and every time I reach out to any of my coworkers there, that fact is just further cemented. Rich Kid Syndrome is real, and it is destroying small businesses everywhere.
Amen to that.
