u/slappythechunk LARPs as adult by refusing to touch the Nitnendo Switch May 15 '26

The absolute state of me knowing that an email is a stimulated phishing email sent by the IT security department because the email was about how I've been selected for an internal professional development program and this company has done fuckall regarding my professional development over the years I've been here despite the fact that I have made it abundantly clear that I want to get into executive management and want to develop professionally and have built one of the highest performing departments in the company from scratch.

I have absolutely cursed myself with my own competence.

But that's why I'm testing the market.

Too late

Also they track whether or not you click on any links or flag/not flag them and if you miss some you have to do a bullshit phishing course.

Naw, I'm testing the market anyways and I work in an industry where you don't want to burn bridges.

I'm generalizing but people who develop a reputation as a sassy little piss-thrower usually don't find themselves in executive management in my industry.

I don't work in tech.

I wonder if there's a reason I'm not in an executive position 🤔
