Geez

     Tried to leave work on time and two pieces of software crashed.  One didn't matter, and we fobbed around and got the other "fixed," more by luck than skill.

     Great, all done, go home, sleep, finish split shift from 9 p.m. to midnight.  No?

     No.  Boss calls, wants logs from a different computer issue, proceeds to tell me stuff that doesn't jibe with what I understood the last time we grabbed the logs, and continues to do so after I have called up the actual memo and am reading it.

     Hey, boss?
     Don't overestimate how bad I need the money.  You've been losing people; you've even lost a couple who still collect a paycheck.  What's one more?  Nothing to you, as near as I can tell, so why should I care?
     Sincerely yours, another cheap piece of meat you won't bother to replace.

    The correct answer to the boss would be "Noted. I'm beat and going home to eat and get some sleep. I'll take care of that first thing when I'm back in at 9:00". If the boss protests, tell him/her "look, I said I'M BEAT and going home for much needed rest." then tell boss to call in one of the people that have recently left the company and hang up.

    And she can do that....IF she is willing to take unemployment. Might come to that, but that is her decision to make.

    Once cannot say "fuck you" and not expect possible repercusions. If yer willing to take those repercusions, then fine, if not, hold yer tongue.

    I am sorry you are having to go through this work and health stuff at the same time.

    Typical Management Syndrome; the further they move up the food chain the more they forget what your job is and how things actually work.

    What Connfuscious and Old Texan said too.

    I feel your pain. I'm going to be working on all five of the upcoming holidays this year because someone wants to be seen as going "above and beyond".
