Finally lost my mind after two years and told an inept superior to “shut the fuck up” in a meeting. Pretty sure I’m going to be fired after this awkwardly silent last couple hours...

I really wanna love this (because who hasn't thought about doing it), but professionally it's not a good look. Definitely curious what the fallout will be, but doesn't sound like a fireable offense to me unless this is a problem with more than one person.

I recommend a career coach to help you learn how to express yourself productively before you hit your breaking point. You might have felt good in the moment but my guess is you will be really embarrassed in the long run. I would apologize as soon as possible.

There is no polite way to tell someone to STFU in a group setting. The only times it's acceptable is if someone is being verbally abusive or if you're on a call to 911 and someone won't STFU...and even then you should try to take the high-road.

We've all been there, but you fucked-up and should apologize. We need fewer people acting like pricks to each other, not more.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are.

They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.
