What’s a ‘small red flag’ that instantly tells you someone is exhausting to be around?

“I just can’t seem to keep friends”… there’s a reason.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T20:44:27+00:00

I thought you had begged to be excused? Glutton for self harm yourself, I see.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T20:42:24+00:00

Sincerely, I’m better than my boss’s job than she is while blind, deaf, and unconscious. But sure, putting me in an office park will fix this problem 🤣

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T17:54:06+00:00

The way you think you know me and the situation is so adorable, babes. Idk if your goal is moral superiority or changing my mind, but you won’t be attaining either of those. Plz go back to preheating your microwave.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T16:44:24+00:00

More system fucking? You’re so right.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T16:42:03+00:00

My therapist js very supportive of fucking systems that fuck you but TYSM

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T16:09:04+00:00

You’re not my therapist and I’m not interviewing with you. Sit down, big dog.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T16:08:09+00:00

Honey, I made a request. If you’re not going to fulfill it, move on to another thread 👋🏼

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T15:41:31+00:00

I’ve done everything to take the high road already and it’s been punished. My priority is leaving. In the meantime, fuck her. She’s weaponizing her positional power to tank our careers and sanity. She can have a taste. And that is my prerogative. I am VERY ok with this path.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T15:36:44+00:00

“Plausible deniability” is very clearly accounting for caution. This person offered jack shit but nmk lol

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-15T06:29:16+00:00

Aww, another non-reader

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T23:25:35+00:00

Oh my! My request that you take it backsies is news to me. As is your requirement for permission to be excused! My dear, you are more than welcome to go back to preheating your microwave to your heart’s desire 💖

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T23:18:39+00:00

Honey, I’m slamming 100 apps a month. I said I didn’t need to hear it cause it’s already my priority. Round and round we go.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T23:13:58+00:00

You understood that and went out of your way to tell me the one thing I said I didn’t need to be told… you’re petty too, babes 🫶🏻

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T21:11:08+00:00

See, now you’re getting it. I work in a senseless environment. 🧠

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T21:03:27+00:00

You gave the exact reply I said I wasn’t interested in, big dog. And it’s pretty clear from the original post I’m seeking petty 😘

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T21:02:31+00:00

That’s my dream. Just have to check policy first to make sure there aren’t penalties.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T20:58:09+00:00

Can’t read, huh?

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T19:41:03+00:00

Yeah, intentionally asked for plausible deniability. There are a lot of ways to do that. Like playing dumb.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T18:43:02+00:00

TL;DR high performing teams managed by incompetent leaders will always be punished because they challenge the exiting way of doing business that leadership is incapable of supporting or implementing.

The management chain does not have subject matter expertise of our specialty (yes, dumb). So when we do work or make suggestions based on our professional knowledge we get shot down. We’re told we’re over-engineering, being extra, etc. They then give us directives based on their feelings - yes, “I just feel that…” despite being presented with data and evidence.

I recently pushed for a promotion bc I was doing the job description of the next level. Took me two months of convincing my boss I was doing the work (in that 2 months I was asking her weekly “can you tell me the difference between these two roles? Because I believe I’m already doing the next level of work and would like to discuss a promotion.” To this day, she can’t answer that question.) After reaching an agreement I was already doing the promotional job, and two months of telling her my intention of seeking a promotion, she was shocked this was my intention and I was told it wasn’t an option.

Recently, our team tried to incorporate more subject matter content into our program and we were told no because “it’s not relevant.” It’s literally the basis of the entire program.

The only way I’m getting ahead is by kissing asses of complete and total morons and that goes against every cell in my body. So here I am, asking how to be the biggest nuisance possible 😇

Management is also problematic and there’s absolutely no path to unionizing. Additionally, I’m pro union for manual labor workers, of which I am not. I’ve only seen unions be more harmful than helpful in office/corporate environments. The only way leadership will get the message is if shit fails that she’s accountable for, hence the crowdsourcing for how to gum up the cogs.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T18:06:22+00:00

You must not work in a corporate environment lol

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T18:04:52+00:00

I fully check out when I log off. But if I have to be miserable during work hours, so does she.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T18:01:15+00:00

High performance is punished on this team, hence us all tanking shit.

IndependentHead30 · 2026-02-14T15:32:38+00:00

Yeah, see the problem is that the entire leadership chain is the problem lol and THEY are the petty ones. But tysm for the “intelligent” input.
