| You don't pay me enough for this crap |

| I think I've mentioned a time or two or four that I've been working my rear-end off at my current job. I'm on my laptop sending out emails at 5:30 am and attending networking events most evenings until 8or 9pm at night. My house is a disaster. My yard even worse. I haven't been to the gym since I started the job. I don't take time for lunch. I often don't eat during the day because I'm so busy. I have health insurance but haven't had time to make an appt.

My boss immediately IM's me telling me he needs my reports updated immediately. It's SUNDAY morning. I wanted to tell him what he could do with his reports. I hate 'sales forecasting' because it's a load of poop. It's even less accurate than weather forecasting. And sales managers that are more concerned with their reports than actually managing and working with the team irritate me immensely. So clearly, we ALL know I'm just going to drop everything and get working on those reports. I replied to him that I was focused on activities that could potentially create revenue and I would attack the reports Monday morning. Although I was thinking it, I didn't tell him that I thought he could take those reports and... |
