@pawnheart I have a meeting with a group of people who'd quite like to have me fired in about 10 minutes. At this point I honestly no longer care either way. Either get on with it, or don't. I have a life to get on with.

@ceruleanspark Really?! Why? That sucks...

@pawnheart I can unironcally say that it is actually a conspiracy. Our new parent company has always farmed IT out to a contractor, who is making a fair amount of money off of them. It's in the contractors best interests to paint me as superfluous and incompetent, because having in house IT would reduce their potential income stream. As the new owners have no IT background, it's the word of someone they've known for years against mine. They have no objective means of determining my competence.

@ceruleanspark That sounds... dole, to be honest. Take a poo. On a desk.

@pawnheart The bloke unironically listed my name in a list of "redundant IT equipment" alongside a bunch of our servers. In front of the board of directors. I nearly punched him in the face.

@ceruleanspark I am trying not to write the F word here. That is... bloody horrible.

@ceruleanspark I hope you bring that up. If then worst comes to the worst... there will be other places. And ones where you aren't made to fear for your position all the time. Or where they don't people write pathetic, gutting crap like that.

@pawnheart WHY CAN I NO LONGER WRITE?!!! GAH!

@ceruleanspark I'm sorry, but it is kinda funny. What a dick move XD
-
@ceruleanspark God damn....I wouldn't have blamed you if you did.
-
@ceruleanspark Wow. I've endured similar embarrassment, but they at least didn't actually put my name up there. That's just ... Yeah. Time to locate new employment.
-
@astra Good morning. Sleep better?
-
@ceruleanspark Actually, I did, thanks! Though it always feels a little odd, waking up in the morning after a split sleep night like that. Managing well enough, though. How are you feeling, workplace idiocy aside?
-
@astra Banged my elbow on the doooooor. Otherwise, I'm fine.

@ceruleanspark Owww, darn that not-do-funny bone! Glad you're doing well enough, at least. :)

@ceruleanspark Hope the meeting goes okay dude. !hugs

@ceruleanspark Yeah, I really hope it does. Seems like you've been bucked around a fair bit though. I will entirely understand if you snap, and decide to take a crap on somebody's desk. (Why do I always recommend that?!).

@pawnheart Someone once threatened to do that to Steve Jobs. Steve was in his office when they guy walked in going ARE YOU GONNA DO IT? The guy did not.

@ceruleanspark Aw... thats a shame. The UK employers would have labelled him Steve Jobby.

@leonkfox Yes... oddly. When I hear about people being unfairly buggered around in a big sterile workplace, it always pops into my head. Plops... on desk.
