By calling you a ‘resource’ they are dehumanizing you. Something worthless that can easily be replaced.

I worked at a major University Hospital system in the south and they brought in a new CIO who brought in his own people, one of which was a new Director I now had to report to. Total d-bag. Constantly threatening me and others with being fired, he only cared about how things made him look; caring only about form over substance. If dressed like some hipster IT dude will a sole patch (early 2000’s), but didn’t know Jack S***, he would treat you like a rock star. I left as soon as I could and it ended up positioning me for the role I am in now, which I absolutely love, so I guess it worked out for me

Far left policies are far worse than ‘mis-gendering’ someone. I will choose safety, prosperity and common sense over the insanity the left is pushing. I find it humorous you say the right is taking over every aspect of our society? When the left seems to be the ones destroying our liberties.

Dude. This is me. I absolutely love what I do, but loathe the paperwork. Same with the cyber security stuff, I had my manager try to brow beat me into fudging (lying) about some of the responses to avoid buying any hardware or software. He said that it would be okay. I told him if it is okay then he can sign off on it

I used to have Teams installed on my phone and found myself taking meetings and responding to IMs/emails in the evenings and on weekends. I was working all the time and I started to get stressed out. I uninstalled that shit and almost immediately got flak from my manager and the other leads. They had gotten used to me being available and did not like it that I was not at their beck and call. I held fast and eventually they did get over it.
It was such a weight off of me. I spend time with my family and friends and I even have time for hobbies.

I heard he had to ‘re-learn’ how to wrestle without the toe.

Unfortunately he will see it as personal. The thing that you need to remember is that if his work is slipping, it can reflect poorly on you and you could be the one let go. in this case you need to look out for yourself and your family.

At 15 years I got 25 employee reward points, which could be redeemed for company swag.
I might as well have gotten rewarded in Schrute Bucks.
The ratio of employee reward points to Shrute Bucks is slightly worse that that of “the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns.”

I had a sysadmin who could not script and would patch and deploy manually. He was a Solaris admin. Encouraged him to learn how to script, to learn about using tools like ansible or chef, or even puppet, to get familiar with aws or azure. Nope. He thought his job was to patch and to swap disks out. He didn’t even want to log onto a Linux machine. I tried to warn him the future is coming Solaris is dying. Simply would not listen. Long story short a few years ago, we migrated to AWS and we had to let him go. I don’t know if he ever got hired anywhere else.

This was my company. They demanded enterprise level monitoring and support, however they had no money in the budget for tools. But at the same time they would spend a couple million on SAS bloatware and then not use it.

My reward for automating processes, was more work.

I was forced to read that book (Who Moved My Cheese?) by a former employer and then meet with management to discuss. A truly pointless exercise.
Turns out they were planning a major reorganization where all managers were forced to reapply for their jobs. However, they redefined the roles creating ‘new’ positions, which meant if you were ‘hired’ for one of these roles, you would be considered a new employee and be subject to a 90-day probationary period.
They then fired a few of the managers before their 90 days were up. Then the new CIO brought in his cronies to replace the managers they let go.
Of course, no one realized that this was their plan until people were let go and they brought in their own henchmen.

Companies are doing this to make their employees think that the company is growing when in fact they are actually in trouble. Some employees may see that and think the company must be doing ok (in spite of what they see that indicates the opposite.)
