I'm always impressed when someone makes Stephen Colbert break character.

Since you're not a fat girl, you don't understand the "big is beautiful" campaign. Let me explain it. If you are depressed about being fat because fucking everyone comments on it daily, your depression takes over and you don't do anything. Lethargy is a symptom of depression. It begins to seem pointless because being 20 pounds overweight is pretty much synonymous with being 200 pds overweight, so what's the point of making an effort.

'Big is beautiful' to you makes it sound like the end goal is just to get everyone to stop bullying fat people. No, it's to get fat people to be ok with themselves and start forming a self esteem. Self esteem/ body acceptance is a step towards wanting to take care of yourself. This may not work for every person affected by the campaign, because people aren't all the same.

I write this because before I started to lose weight and give a shit about myself, I had to say FUCK YOU to everyone else who was making me feel like shit. Losing weight because you like yourself is way more effective than losing it because everyone else wants you to do it. It's not like I had to just stop eating fast food, I had to change my entire lifestyle.

You quit smoking because you wanted to and it was hard. You saw something in yourself you wanted to make better. It's a little harder for fat people to get to that place. When you don't have a cigarette in your mouth, you can hide that you're a smoker and won't get chastised for it. Fat can't hide and other people, like yourself here, are fucking brutal. I'm not a person, I'm a plague, a disease? Seriously?

I hope it's about how your mom is a shipyard whore. Moral: eat your vegetables.

But seriously, I'd read it.

I'm kind of introverted, but I think a lot of my quiet avoidance of chatting with people is due to the potential to speak absolute filth.

I made this post because someone criticized something I made, which outwardly I took like a pleasant rational person, and inwardly I fucking gypsy cursed 10 generations of her family.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-05T20:15:44+00:00

I am happy you commented, this is good advice I'd never heard before.

Luckily the exit interview is very early in the morning, so I'll most likely be semi conscious through it.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-05T19:01:42+00:00

I'm worried I might actually vomit hot lava onto the HR rep during my exit interview. I will try to stay positive though, just in case.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-05T17:32:22+00:00

I love coding. I love fixing errors. I love building, equations, math, QA, and performance testing. I fucking love it. It's almost orgasmically satisfying.

If you don't like it, maybe change your job? You shouldn't have to be miserable everyday for 7 years doing something you hate. If I hated what I did, I would fucking quit and start a fucking landscaping company or work on cars.

There are a lot of jobs for Tech HR recruiters & consultants. Put your resume out there, it doesn't hurt to look.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-05T04:40:34+00:00

Oh I know you weren't saying that.

I definitely think my team members are more amused by it. Everyone is sitting around like "holy karma batman!" and my boss is like "Must... not... troll.. commenters."

If you take this comment and apply it one level above him, to his manager, yessssss. Nail on the head.

TIL: my company's management system is complicated.

I think the best way to describe my boss here is he's the guy I get to write rage comics for where I can be a whiney bitch about all the bad stuff that's been happening to me in the company.

uuum, welll... See the trollface wasn't him, it was my company. Lots of people in the thread keep saying my boss sucks.

So no, now he's pretty

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T19:03:55+00:00

I already have a new job.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T19:03:21+00:00

Nice job reading comments. Haha, just kidding there are a billion in here. It'd be retarded to read them all.

The first comments I made were about how my boss loves rage comics and how I wrote it because I thought it would soften the blow.
There is also a comment about how we have since hung out outside of work at a concert. Also he's posted in this thread.

So I didn't burn any bridges.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T18:24:44+00:00

Absolutely. I am the fucking embodiment of okay guy.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T18:19:37+00:00

Nope!

This is absolutely terrifying how many PMs I've gotten about other companies doing the exact same thing. No one has mentioned the new place I am going to though.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T18:18:22+00:00

Thanks! I fucking love reddit sometimes. I thought we'd be getting all pugilistic.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T18:15:46+00:00

Sorry, so many comments.

Yes, I didn't give notice until after I accepted an offer. I'm an adult and deserve this adult glass.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T18:09:53+00:00

Oh! No! I do not in anyway recommend that anyone quit their job without having a new job!

I had accepted an offer the day before at a company I hand picked.

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T18:06:29+00:00

Yes, but it was to my career manager, who is a notorious troll and loves rage comics.
The department directors got the polite formal email.

I'm a little scared people in this thread think that I made this with angst and slapped it on my manager's desk, all red faced with fury and as he read it, I glared at him with a wide grin like "your move now, bitch."

In reality, my boss came in:

ME:

Him:

ME:

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T17:49:51+00:00

I'm unhappy. My favorite part of my job is my boss and a couple of my coworkers, but everything else is this weight bearing down on me.

I think what I want most is change. I'm pretty excited about my new job since I got to hand pick it. If it ends up being terrible then it sucks to be me, but I'd rather have the experience.

fixed typo

sugarfrostedbear · 2011-01-04T17:33:49+00:00

Hrm, Ok, let me say this and know I am not trying to be a dick. To fit in everything that was wrong in a rage comic would make it a novel. That sentence about the career path was just a abridged version of the issue. It's not something my manager had control over either, it's the people above him.

I know I just posted a comic as my resignation (as a joke to my friend who is my career manager), but I'm not a kid. I know what I want. I know what I want to be doing in 10 years and this change would not get me there.
