  • Because he doesn’t actually have any interest in doing things himself. He has no technical ability but sweet talked himself into this position. I won’t lift a finger for him on this as it’s not my responsibility so we’ll see if he tries to throw me under the bus and how my management reacts.




  • I work on a team that teaches courses on how to use specific programs. I’m at job level 1. A job level 3 guy keeps asking me to schedule meetings with him so I can teach him how to use the specific programs so then he can do the job he was hired for and teach other people how to use these specific programs.




  • When you make a lot of money, the number you see in your account starts to become part of your identity because it differentiates you between you and the people you see every day. The same way if I had blue curly hair, that would become a defining factor of where I “differ” from the general public. The numbers in one’s account becomes an obsession-point.

    People get obsessed with the number and how much bigger they can make it. It’s like hoarding. No amount will ever be enough. And once you’re able to buy anything, the actual value of that money becomes meaningless. So even more drive to bring the number up because that’s the only novelty you are getting.

    That and power.

    Same. I can explain it in depth because I too almost fell down this rabbit hole. 2015-2016 is when it got real bad and I started watching all sorts of sjw cringe compilations. As a barely adult I had no idea that all of this content was deliberately placed in front of me because I was the right target demographic.

    What stopped me was when the rhetoric increased in severity and people started denying trans identity and claiming that these people should be locked up. At that same time I read a bunch of studies where they proved that neuron networks in trans people’s brains literally resembled the sex they felt they were. Science got me out of it and I quickly saw that this was just outright bullying/hatred and science denying.
