Such a classic! There's a video editor in our team who absolutely cannot meet a deadline. And all he does is make sure he makes it seem like someone else's fault. And the funniest part is that he always succeeds. Do you have people like this on your team? And how have they not gotten fired yet? :D

My laziest coworker is also my favorite person at work, so I guess I have no complaints. He's lazy but very efficient. Always reminds me of how people say 'hire a lazy person if you want the most clever solutions for things'.

Yeah, I would say I’m a procrastinator, but in that respect lazy. I still get work done at the last minute so I’m bad at scheduling it…

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
