Not sure if there’s been a similar post in the X number of years since a I’ve been away. I’m sure someone will let me know if there has been, and quite right too. People need putting in their place.

Similar to many on here, I’m in the autumn of my career and have been schooled in a particular way. Own a problem until it’s fixed, respect everybody (cheesy, but true), take responsibility for your own actions; be accountable etc. etc.)

I’m currently in a position where I’ve got these young whippersnappers mithering their boss with a 12 point ‘demand’ list, which has now been ‘escalated’ to me. I’ve read it today, and fuck me. I don’t appear to be in the same dimension. Don’t get me wrong, I was a bit of a lazy cunt when I was younger, doing as little as possible, but at the same time I didn’t expect to be rewarded for my inaction.

When you dig into each of the 12 points ostensibly all of them are about ‘how can I do as little as possible, whilst achieving maximum benefit for me?’ There may be some smart Alec’s on here who’ll say, ‘yeah, so what? However, I personally beg to differ.

Meeting scheduled for next week. All phones off and on the table (we’ve got an employee council.FFS. Grasses). Let’s have straightener. They might teach me something; I hope so, but I’m sure I am right. I don’t have any kids, so I have no references, but is this normal (generally)? Is there an air of entitlement amongst some of the younger generation? Was I the same
When I was their age? Probably, but not to today’s extent.

Anyway, let’s see what happens in the meeting next week. F, R and T probably think I’m a beaut and they’ll run rings around me Perhaps I am, perhaps they will. I personally don’t think so. Fucking knobs.
