...but it felt a little good, right?

Flipping out at work when I have every right to flip out is a bucket list item for me. Human dignity, man. Taking shitstorms with a placid smile and a "thank you sir may I have another" is an unfortunate part of many, many jobs. But now, however long down the line, you can rest easy knowing that there was that one time (or hell, maybe more!) when you made it clear just how unacceptable certain treatment is. Values! Priorities! More beer!

Did they at least up your pay?

And now you could probably buy out his business...

uh… no. And with layoffs… it's clear that there isn't more money on the horizon.

That's infuriating.

especially since the private equity douchnozels who own the company pocket a collective couple million every month… but whatever. It's not ENOUGH millions per month.

Thanks Private Equity Investors!

WTF. I can't believe this is a thing. This is like when white people complain that there is no White Entertainment Television. EVERY OTHER GODDAMN DAY IS BOSS DAY BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BOSS.

Not that there aren't good bosses who deserve recognition, but having a day dedicated to a group of people who run things seems a little bit weird.

Just got done signing cards for Boss's day... FWIW I do like my boss's and they definitely do deserve some recognition.
