I’ve managed people in India before - not to save money but to handle overnight tickets - and to me they work too hard.
One of my reports was affected by some pretty significant flooding and asked if maybe they could have a day off.
I told them to not worry about work until their house was no longer filled with mud and water.
Nice job dude. How did your wife take it after they fired you for being human?
I wasn’t fired. I just stopped being a manager. The worst part is all the other managers.
Yup, my VP laid my coworker off after she announced she was pregnant.
A week later I announced my wife was pregnant and they laid me off.
After a while, you feel sorta numb to corporate America.
And as a manager I’d have to sit in a meeting with those assholes and not punch them in the face.
When my VP laid me off, she was on her phone texting someone. She's going to be a CEO one day.
