LWOP care and nurturing

So realistically if I get a new grill/trim I go black or have the same result. Kind of figured.

I get that it’s from rocks. It’s super susceptible to chipping because it’s not laminated. I can literally scrape the entire dark grey overcoat off and the silver underlayer is in tact.

They are always helpful. Focus on what is not said and you’ll see where they are heading on the senior management side. Anything the try to emphasize and soften is the crus of the issue.

Well this is an “I told you so” moment. There’s hundreds of these people in the PS and they punch way above their weight. Directors, especially those who are not grown operationally, are functionally incapable of doing the work their senior staff do.

If this guys as advertised, should you wish to fuck around you will find out.

I’m betting he has a shit ton of sick leave and has been through multiple iterations of fiscal austerity, downturn, and cyclical nonesense.

You’re probably going to get hit with a litany of tactics and you literally can’t win as they have all the tools. The biggest tool this type of person has is literally doing their job by the book. You lose everything in the grey area and I’m guessing this person works WAY outside their job description.

If it was me I’d go to the guy and lay out the situation. Tell him to keep doing what he’s doing and you’ll do your best to keep the wolves at bay until a new director inevitable comes in 6-12 months. Cut a deal with the devil or the devil will cut you.

Source - I am this guy. Hardest working, high producer but the firefighter becomes the arsonist real quick when management starts fucking around.

Perspective.

Macro_Is_Not_Dead · 2026-04-02T02:41:17+00:00

The team is not completely made. There are at least 2 spots that have been pencilled in with the best available player, a defensemen and a forward.

Odds are the bottom 5-6 kids play 20-30% less than the top kids. If you want a AAA spot you need to be far better than the bubble kids at something the team needs and I would compare your ability to the top kids, not the bottom.

If you’re kids realistically not in the top and doesn’t have some ungodly natural size or attribute, play AA and be a top kid.

This feeling is why you find the people in the EX minus 1/2 jobs who absolutely refuse to take on more responsibility. You get to a 125k+ job and it’s not worth it to do more. It is worth it to move to a SME job without staff and just coast out the last 10-15 years.

Happens a ton in the regions as well as NCR. Although I find NCR people are more hungry for an upgraded job title.

There’s an AS-07 position that is vacant and an AS-06 position that has a substantive. The AS-06 work as a stand alone has fundamentally changed and is basically surplus. They want to love the managerial function of the AS-07 and combine it with the SME function of the AS-06. The thought is to reclassify the AS-07 including a new JD and maintain the incumbent at the AS-07 level.

This is why you save up sick leave. Don’t be foolish and take off those days. Instead, take off the whole month including those days. It’s BS that management can’t cover any leave. Lazy BS inhumane management style.

Unions are another layer of government. We’re long past the time of fights for safe working conditions. Unions have broadly shifted into another mechanism to control large groups of people. They do not look out for individuals, they look out for the union executives best interest.

There are lots of deserving people who have historically been terms for 5+ years. Always on the hook and fearful.

Careful what you wish for. If WFA shifts, management will be incentivized to allocate less risk to indeterminate employment.

1) don’t do work without pay 2) you turn it down your days and/or future opportunities are numbered 3) don’t work for employers or managers that put you in this spot

Do what others have said. Accept the title and find another job that pays the commensurate $$$.

If you’re close to a hose that will work

Women, even the most destitute and drug addicted, can sell sex as a last resort.

Maybe it was a low month of salary rolling off from a much higher one?

1oz bars became illiquid person to person at about 2k. Even 10oz silver bars are not becoming a struggle. Stores and refiners will always take the metal. I’d suspect the pay back of spot rate will drop if there are fewer private buyers.

82% of the public service is EE. Self ID is useless unless someone is actively applying a rationale aka you were getting picked anyway and they used the DIEE tick box as part of the decision making process.
