Hey, that really sucks and I’m sorry it’s happening to you. You sound very competent and like you take pride in your work.

Here’s my advice:

1. Don’t quit without another gig lined up.

2. Start looking for a new job now. A bad boss can ruin even a great job, and managers in particular are hard for a company to get rid of. She’ll likely be in that position awhile. You’ve got a boss who is incompetent and has already displayed some loose ethics. You don’t want to stick around that.

3. Incompetent bosses can sometimes be a good thing because they’re easy to fool. Consider pulling back on your work production so you can focus on designing a great resume and prepping for interviews.

And remember the most important rule: “A company will get rid of you just as soon as it’s convenient for them to do so. You should be ready to do the same to the company.”

they can’t be that bad.

Sure they can.

Many people follow that path.

Damn. That wisdom hits me a little too hard. Thanks for sharing!

Always love an opportunity to recall Major’s Mask :)

Such an emotionally deep game

Wow, that was really elaborate and a cool concert experience! Never heard of that game before.

Wow! That takes be back! “Get off my land!”

I have no frame if reference for this, but it sounds really cool!

LOL @ daddy tears

Whole-heartedly agree. It’s worth it.

I went through a pretty rough break-up and needed an MMO. Never had such a great time learning about history xD

This thread is filled with comments on DE, but it was your comment that convinced me to finally play the game.

Thanks for the story!

Agreed completely about raiding in WoW. To struggle at singing with 40 other people for weeks, and then to finally achieve it… it’s euphoric.

I always really enjoyed the post-raid hangouts, too.

That game is probably one of the best mind-fucks in gaming. The white phosphorous scene for me was so powerful that I immediately went into Youtube and looked up how other streamers reacted to it.

Cheating sucks, but that’s definitely the game to teach about why it sucks.

Thanks

DayZ was such an amazing experience at the time. Battle arena games hadn’t taken off yet and you really had to pay attention to your surroundings.

Great story! War is hell

Wow, such a cool revelation. I think the devs of CK2 would be proud that you engaged with their game like this.

Great story!

“I’ll sleep when I’m dead”

Wow, this is awesome! Thank you all for your hard work!
