I hate having to work...

Earlier this week, I partook in a Teams meeting with one of the main managers where I work. As we've been hemorrhaging employees, I'd assumed it would have been a sort of check-in to see how I was doing, if I was looking at leaving: that sort of thing. It was not. What it was, was a disciplinary meeting to discuss an email I'd sent several weeks ago. The email, though admittedly produced with anger, was essentially me calling out a different manager for a post on Teams that seemed to unfairly target 2 of my teammates. The part that gets me, that makes me tilt my head and squint my eyes in confusion, was that part of the reason for the meeting was that I included these teammates among the people receiving the email. By doing that, management suggested that I was actually harming the team and comprising our unity.

Like, huh? Standing up for my teammates and including them in the message hurt the team? It's so "confusing." Obviously not really. As with any corporation, autonomy and teamwork that doesn't include management is in direct opposition to the way they work.

Oh well. At least it's another motivator to keep pushing myself to make more story progress and get these comics out.

Dicks for listening!
