  I got a field promotion to project manager once and had to learn to talk like this real fast. It was so soul sucking I barely lasted a year before quitting. Juggling project goals, budgets, workers, client relations, etc left me with no time to actually do meaningful work and I just ended up hating myself because my life had become endless meetings like this one (but I wasn’t paid 10x my workers salaries).

      I could say that verbatim in my most pointless meetings and most people would be nodding aggressively in blind agreement and smiling like their teeth are trying to escape.

    They’re all the same person for sure. I’m not sure if that person is you though.

  Dank, and bitingly accurate. I just got off but watching this video made me feel like I was back at werk.

  I didn’t want my weekend to begin like that but whatevvvvv.
