And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Ugh, shrift and brenda. That is the worst. And not true.

For what it's worth, I'd say leave the company if at all possible, because that's a sign of a toxic culture.

I'm attempting to move into a part of the company that doesn't sit in the sales organization, because the sales org is toxic to me personally. If that doesn't work out, then I'll have to leave the company.

Including my new boss. So that was fun.

Ugh, brenda. I was hoping things were moving in a positive direction for you, too.

I think they are, generally. But I've got this one poisonous snake to deal with.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh, brenda.

I had a good meeting with my grand-boss this morning, fwtw. Sorry if I am hogging all of that mojo.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Got chewed out at work.

That's it. I broke. Straw/Camel's Back.

I'm done. I can't. I don't know how to cope.

Oh, Allyson, that is so not fair. Not fair to brenda and shrift either. I just ran into the same thing at my work. I'm giving it 6 months and if things don't improve, I'm looking for another position. But, JFC, this boss has driven me back into therapy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, you guys. I wish I could write a note to all of your work assholes and tell them to back the fuck off!

Come on Universe! Back off!

My people are hurt and we're all doing our best! Give them a break already.

Aren't there puppy kickers or grammar abusers that need some karmic attention?
