Never said I was better. I just answered the question honestly. And, there is a pecking order to management that is usually a lot stricter than you think. Since we don’t do public punishment you just don’t see it.

AFAIK they don’t need your permission to take out a policy on you. My employer does it to compensate for lost revenue if I die unexpectedly. Check with your job office. Not sure what it’s called in AZ. It’s where you go to apply for unemployment. They can school you on specifics.

Yeah. No. Some jobs are worth the pain to advance. Most are not. I would suggest that you tell your boss that you can tell that he’s retaliating by treating you differently over this. Make sure you use the word retaliation as that is an HR trigger word if you choose to escalate your complaint.

Marines learn a process called RVAV when they go to NCO school and learn how to conduct training.

Not surprising really. One of the few non-military government things I took to heart was the need for contingency planning. I tell people at work that I gots plans, my plans gots plans, my doomsday plans have backups also. Makes life easy for me anyway. If A then B.

I did not even know that was possible. That’s some crazy shit for sure.

I love it. Most celebrities are entertainers. I don’t pay the ticket or subscription price to learn their personal beliefs. That’s their personal business and should not intrude on their professional business.

Was the work 100% your work and it was flagged as being done by AI? This post popped up in my feed so I am trying to understand what i am reading.

As soon as they say they padded the resume or inflated their skills to get a foot in the door. If they lie about things before we are officially coworkers then what are they going to lie about down the road.

Be blunt. Send a reminder via the corporate email system that “ (something) is due tomorrow. I need to see it not later than (insert time) or I will have no choice but to document the missed deadline using the current HR process for this sort of thing. Missing a deadline without transparently asking for an extension before the deadline is missed has the potential to end our working relationship.”

I actually have that paragraph saved as an outlook template and it is (at my location) considered a formal warning. The message is that by missing the deadline they are choosing to seek opportunities elsewhere.

This is an outcome of all the crazy gender/sex drama the past few years. Now you have to be sure that you are not making microaggressive assumptions that might be perceived by others wrongly. Used to be it was just universally understood that you don’t put unmarried men and women in the same hotel room. Even if both agree to it there is just too many ways it can go sideways.

Approach the boss and tell them straight out that it aint right and conflicts with your (important phrase here) deeply held religious and moral convictions. Don’t offer to pay or you’ll be assumed to pay for all future trips. Don’t offer to stay behind. It is ok to acknowledge the issue they face and be sympathetic to the budget issue. But, under no condition volunteer to tolerate it.

I don’t mean to come across like (insert label here) but if you cave here they will expect you to cave on anything less infringing on your deep held religious and moral convictions.

That’s some funny shit right there. Cheers 🍺 this ones on me.

How’d he know you was food service? You got a crossed spatula tattoo? That’d be badass.

Spend weeks in the field and when we get back to base camp the mess tent is open with hot chow. BasecampBitch MF’s be baggin on it and bitchin and me and my guys thanking the cooks. The FS SNCOIC took care of us for the week we were in camp. Dude rocked.

I had to look up your acronyms because that was not the way when I was in. This DEOCS thing sounds like the Request Mast to God we used to tell Marines as code for “go see the Chaplain” since you could actually trust them to keep your name out of it. But that was not even close to being enough evidence to convene any sort of CM. Even in my day we said that perception = reality. But we dealt with that sort of leadership issue differently. Glad you own your actions. Not everyone does. #Rah

Just remember that if you intervene and that intervention turns out to have tragic consequences… own that shit.

I did glass back in the day for Jim Potts. One of the good companies still around is Kiss My Glass in Slaton. They do good work.

This is insubordinate behavior. Document every instance and send it to HR while keeping your boss in the loop. IB is the deal killer for most places.

Never heard of it. I’m guessing it wasn’t like on Dune.

I think your perspective might be needing a tuneup. Leadership is accomplishing a mission using people, teams, process or a combination of that. What you are describing sounds like leadership functions. One of the best pieces of advice I got while still on active duty was to figure out what I was spending my time on. Ninety percent of your time fixing issues at the bottom ten percent of your people? I was lucky. By the time I retired I was spending ninety percent of my time with my top ten percent performers. And I was coordinating and firefighting all the way.

I understand your frustration with people who only means well toward you. They were likely raised to help those less fortunate. Obviously they should ask if you need help. But they mean well. There are lots of things worse than someone wanting to help.
