Anyone who has worked for one of these jackwads knows that you don't do your best, you just do what is necessary to avoid their wrath, and no more.

"Success" is not about productivity, it's about intimidating others with threats of violence, and relying on complex social systems to confuse the issue and provide deniability. We never really abolished imperialism, we just gilded it.

Unfortunately I have worked for several men like this. They don’t last very long because those under him find ways… Watched it happen & helped a few times. Hoping the same for him. Demonstrating authority is their only goal. No real talent or prowess abides in them. Just a big hole.

Those poor FEMA workers! The last 3 months -- ! I expect there'll be another wave of people leaving, and that will ensure more deaths and more destruction when the next big storms come . . .

Such a jackwad also tends to get sabotaged …

Instead of working long hours in tech in Silicon Valley, I started putting those extra hours into gym time. I did my 40 & that’s it. There is no point busting you butt to try to please a F asshole. And left on my terms.

If I’m working for this dude I’m going to sabotage the shit out of the workplace. Eventually, of course, i will lose my cool and fuck him up.

The problem is that the whole reason he's there is to sabotage the workplace. I'd like to say that doing good work is how to get back at him, but he'd be able to waste your effort. So I guess the best approach is just to check out.
