some of y'all literally think you can tell when someone writes their fanfic based on em dashes and update times, meanwhile I'm in the trenches watching my manager use AI to summarize any message he gets that's more than 1 paragraph long + then have it draft his response so like. we are not the same. and also you're wrong.

btw tell me why it is that every manager I've had in tech is a Middlename Gerald situation. Middlename Gerald being the name I have for the guy who was always fucking my shit up at my old job. MNG 2.0 is turning out to be the same sort of thing: happy to foist responsibilities upon me in the name of some sink or swim bullshit, then happily take the credit for my work when I swim rather than sink. one month in my white woman coworker has already confessed to me he gaslights her all the time, and I have seen this to be true. Middlename Geralds of the world, I'm coming for your bag.

god dude I gotta get this guy fired. I stg my Dunkin and weed purchases should be covered by insurance just for having to deal with him

hey silver lining to the middlename Gerald situation....his inept ass is in Europe and everyone else is in asia so as the only American if I dip early on a Friday who's gonna stop me !!

what I'm learning is never to trust a man who tells you he has a "hands off management style." nice in theory but it NEVER means what you want it to mean

today in Middlename Gerald news: accidentally having his chatbot send the message it composed for him directly, rather than copy pasting it like he usually does so that it looks like it came from him. HEY. WHY DOES IT HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR MESSAGES . CAN WE TALK ABOJT THIS. HELLO ???
