As someone who suffers from chronic seasonal allergies I assure you they are in more discomfort than you are having to hear it.

like

LibertyMutual1: get antihistamines and stop snorting, snuffling, etc. What the author seems to complain about are obviously sick people in the office willingly spreading their germs. I agree with the author: don’t come to work and give me your cold just because your spouse/partner doesn’t want your germs, either.

Probably needs a Claritin and is one of those "I don't have allergies so I am not going to take anything," guys. 🤣

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?

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
