Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Not too long ago I got told off for “costing the company a lot of money”, except I wasn’t even an employee, I was a customer whose wheelchair assistance caused a minor delay (through no fault of my own I might add).
And all I can think is “what makes a person bootlick that hard?” (socialisation under capitalism and propaganda from birth). It’s enraging.deleted by creator
This task seems quite important, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s time for the workers to teach the company the meaning of “inelastic demand”
Love the template, also the meme is funny
anytime something is “urgent”…
its not
Usually if you’re involved in something that is genuinely urgent, it doesn’t even need to be said. I remember being in a situation where a server wasn’t starting back up after some changes while we were in the data centre, and if it didn’t come online by the time we left the office, one of the largest pay as you go networks in the UK would have gone down lol. If a PM had approached us with something ‘urgent’ during this they’d have to run away from projectile rack mounts…
If your role in the company is that vital, they should pay you double to match the level of responsibility you hold.
They should fix their infrastructure if this happens too often.
I work for a huge financial institution. Every now and again some manager gets it in their head that it might be a motivating factor to say something like, “this is costing/going to save the company millions of dollars!”
In my head I’m like, “Yeah, so what you’re saying is that this fix/improvement is so trivial as to barely be worth anyone’s time.” If your company makes billions of dollars in pure profit every fucking quarter a few million dollars here and there over the course of a year is the equivalent of a middle class individual losing a quarter down a storm drain once… In their lifetime.
