re: #128 Kragar

Due to my extensive knowledge of techno-babble and knowledge of management practices, I decided to see how much of what I did at work could be ignored while still actually providing the services that my job entails.

As long as you provide “documentation”, no one gives a fuck.

when I was let go from my technical support job of 19 years, I was told that part of the problem was that I spent less time on service calls than my contemporaries. I indicated that since I had 19 years of experience, I would hope that the efficiency of my output would somehow outclass that of someone relatively new to the job.

They didn’t see the connection, since I didn’t meet those expectations, my services were no longer required…..

also… they had the chutzpah to fire me over the phone…

yet, blessing in disguise (as these life changing events can sometimes turn out to be… after a reapplication of effort)
