Boss man escalates shit quickly.
But also: don't threaten me with a good time.
That was just one of the many gems that came out of what turned into a fucking ambush of a project demo.
Boss man invited Rowdy to the demo, so I already knew it was going to be a fucking nightmare.
And then Rowdy invited both the new developer and Carl to the fucking thing.
The demo ran for a fucking hour and throughout it, they were relentlessly picking the thing apart.
Finding all kinds of complaints about this thing and that thing.
Shit that I can almost guarantee no fucking user would notice nor care about.
And of course, compounding
Is the fact that this is the seventh time that boss man has seen it.
And he's had ALL THIS FUCKING TIME to look at it as it's been in progress.
But nope.
That's not what we do here.
We air our grievances in a fucking public forum.
Needless to say, I was pissed.
And I wasn't keeping it a secret.
Told Rick that I'd have rather eaten a bullet than dealt with that shit again.
And that maybe the fucking popcorn gallery should keep their fucking mouths shut.
Carl was one of the popcorn gallery.
And he sent me a message that I believe was apologizing for "overstepping".
I say "I believe" because I didn't read it.
I saw the notification and just closed the chat.
Because I've no use for apologies.
Had a regularly scheduled meeting after that for a sprint planning session.
One of our developers went to the galley to grab lunch, so it got rescheduled to 1115.
Except nobody was fucking here at 1115.
So it kicked off at 1130.
And then was repurposed from a sprint planning meeting to a design session.
For which I have zero fucking inputs that I'd not already provided.
And which were summarily disregarded.
So I walked out as it hit its hour mark.
And shocker of shockers, got an email from Suze CC'ing our site lead saying I need to communicate better before leaving meetings.
Man.
Fuck this fucking place.
