    I’m in the fortunate position where boss people are impressed by how much work I do to help the others struggling with having bad bosses.

    It pays well but plateaus as you start running out of bosses to defeat. Then you get in this awkward situation where everyone a tier below the c-suite wants you, but don’t understand that you aren’t up for sale in their game.

    Been in NFP for a decade and people are still the same. But in NFP you get the leftovers that were never smart enough to be touched for a corporate role. Their idiocy cascades down to a workforce of 15,000 people that have to endure it; people that signed up to help others.

    So, that’s my job. Fuck the money—40% of my paycheck is donated—and my time is spent being real good at helping others by showing up the overpaid morons that make life hard. And surfing. And trains. And birdwatching and trees.

    I’m intoxicated an am oversharing. o7

    Fuck bosses. They’re so useless, weak, and easy to defeat. All you gotta do is break their “network” with logic, and if that fails, a unionised force.

    I somehow started rambling again…

        There is something to be said for unionising on a micro level. A team of 3 or 4 can make much more ground than organising 1000 workers. Always look for that opportunity by getting deep and essential. Never let them know it’s coming and always have an idiot boss to deflect to so they canabalise each other.

        Done well, you get deeper by “saving the day” or whatever.
