I want to be made redundant so I'm being as rude as I can get away with to a senior manager

[ohyesido]

Have I gone too far?

Meaningful like go to charm school?

Screw up. Be late to work. Go home early. Take a two-hour lunch and 40-minute breaks. Maybe even dress inappropriately if you’re so inclined.

There’s never ever an excuse to be an arsehole to people — unless you’re an arsehole. And even then there’s no excuse.

This is like a little kid screaming "looooooooooooooooookkkkkkk attttt meeeeeeeeeeeeee muuuuuummmmmmyyyy "
Why are you seeking approval from strangers on the internet?

Why are so many pressing for me to break down and sob that yes, deep down I'm miserable?

I had a bit of a moment in a job I feel deeply unsatisfied by, and made some tongue in cheek comments about wanting validation. Certainly got some today.

My boss won't fire me, he finds my antics funny and ignores me if I go too far. He's a gem and tomorrow I'll give him a Ferrero Rocher that's been in my hand bag a few weeks and smells of my perfume

So it was just a wind up post then and you don't actually have any real issue at work. That's great you've got such a good boss.

@GiddyBiscuit I'm not responsible for your inference. Perhaps you want me to be, you're so insistent

It's not a wind up I did say that and I do want to be made redundant

So why do you need attention of that kind?

Is there a chance you will be made redundant, is the company downsizing and looking to reduce the number of staff

@GiddyBiscuit inference is what you concluding from what I've said.

And yes, I am happy with my lot in life. I'm comfortable in my own skin, and can observe the changes in my surroundings and others around me since passing 40. Is it not okay to make an ironic statement about wanting validation in response to some toffee nosed replies?

😳😬😳

Deluded Misfit

All a bit desperate.

I sort of admire your nerve. If I tried this I think people would just find it either hilarious, or offer support for having some sort of crisis.

@GiddyBiscuit is getting gleeful

I've got all night
