My company ordered back to office, and as I was told, I was the only one to say no.

I generate too much value and have tolerated being underpayed enough that they can't justify firing me.

I'm also not some MIT AI machine learning savant. I come from a business analyst/ QA background, and I have made a SQL/Java/VBA system for virtually free that does the work of a team of 10 every day, but it's just my underpaid ass running it.

When I lose this job, honestly, I'm fucked and it will be a nightmare because I'll probably need to go into an office, and I'm in no shape for that.

But for today, I said no and I keep doing my job.

There is a SW Battlefront that is a month old?

If only the sitting Democrat president could show the same sense of urgency about housing and feeding Americans as he shows about shielding Israelies from consequence.

Which leads to the question, and its an honest question and I would benefit from the honest answer: If I can do the job hybrid, why can I not do the job remote? Is it because you needed me to move some paper boxes to the printer?

$773 billion dollars last year spent on fighting "proxy" wars around the world (and if you count the spying, domestically).

The only one that America has actual moral footing to get behind is the only one we are pulling punches on.

I, at 37, am reaching my first professional opportunity to manage a support resource I've needed for 5 years, to maintain the data infrastructure I have built that has cut and dry made my company at least 40 million dollars in the past 2 years, but arguably has also saved the company at least 250k in manpower hours each year.

That resource is an outsourced individual from a firm in India who is making a slave wage.

I am also still severely undercompensated.

I wanna flip the monopoly board.

Yes. Israel is conducting a brutal genocide and America is using the opportunity to launder money from the public trust to military contractors by giving "aid packages" to Israel, and then using outdated "emergency powers" from the Iraq war to bypass Congress broker arms deals.

This is all common knowledge.

Half the country is for the genocide of all brown people.

Half the country is outraged.

The entirety of the Federal government is solely focused on enriching military contractors so they can get kickbacks and campaign donos.

This is all painfully common knowledge.

Lets be real here, Obama did not fix the economy, he gave 443.5 billion directly to the 1 percent and started the cycle of corporate welfare that has lead to where we are today.

My gainfully employed alcoholic stoner ass listening to the target shift lead tell me that all alcoholics and stoners are unemployed.

You don't shock the person.

You heat up the metal until it burns them.

Stroke or heart attack (or shooting up after a long tolerance break) alone in a body of water has an immediate cause of death of drowning.

The cause of the immediate cause of death isn't known until autopsy.

Simple math.

Intolerance(-) of intolerance(-) is(=) tolerance(+).

Tolerance(+) of intolerance(-) is(=) intolerance(-).

Tolerance(+) of tolerance(+) is(=) tolerance(+).
