my only motivation to be there is to earn money and my 401k. So many of my coworkers and management feel offended by this statement.
I’m union. Union lawyer thinks this is a management strategy to try to manipulate me.
Cue BS answer for any c-suite that tries making me feel insecure over this:
well, I’m a terrible liar, that’s why I’m asking you :D
the unfriendly party might be easy: I’m always friendly and direct because I want to work. maybe that?
You seem to be laboring under several misconceptions.
Firstly, that being a parasitic middle manager is somehow undesirable. It’s natural to dislike the people who are supervising you (but building some kind of ideology around that to justify your dislike is a bit cringe). However, as they progress through their lives most people want more money, more responsibility, more challenge, and with those things comes more authority.
Secondly, that anyone complaining about “parasitic middle managers” would actually refuse the opportunity to take such a role if they were able to do so.
I’m sure that “parasitic middle managers” do exist, but one feature of capitalism (which I’m sure you also despise) is that it’s very good at weeding out people that don’t produce any value. In the vast majority of cases, the parasitic middle managers you’re talking about are in fact well experienced and highly skilled professionals, who earned the role on merit because they can produce lots of value.
It’s the same way everyone that doesn’t own a home complains about landlords, but ultimately aspires to be one.
Lol@ “everyone aspires to be a landlord”, projecting and telling on yourself loudly
Ren, don’t waste your time with null, he’s completely reactive at this point, unable to see how he contradicts himself (first writing to hire only candidates who claim to be excited to be part of your team because I want to learn all I can from you, immediately after writing Everyone lies in interviews).
projecting
As I explained in that comment, everyone lies in interviews, but you can still select the best candidates because some don’t understand what makes someone desirable.
You made this thread asking how to lie to c-suite.
I don’t have anything else important to do at the moment, reminding a delusional middle manager that nobody likes or values him is a pleasure
Telling on myself ? Oh no, some kid on Lemmy thinks I’m too bourgeois.
Yes, telling on yourself, and loudly
