Not literally of course, there's very few wooden bridges these days. I was pissed at the owner of the place I worked at, and I accidentally sent a text I shouldn't have.
Let me unpack this a bit. So I got a text with this week's schedule. She's been starving me out there for a couple weeks and I only had two days. I accidentally told her to shove those two days up her ass. That's how I really felt, but I didn't mean to send that text. I'm a little neurotic, so sometimes I'll write out a text with what I want to say but then think better of it and delete it. Maybe I shouldn't do that, or maybe I should just say what I want. I dunno. I have another job, so it's fine sort of. It was good money though, and it was off the books.
I'm feeling pretty angry about the whole situation though, and I couldn't sleep last night. Kinda need every dollar I can make right now. It is what it is.
That's how employers force people to quit. Give them low hours. They want you out. Best to move on. You're a smart guy. Get your hustle on and hire yourself. Also, it's your patriotic duty to pay as little taxes as possible. Good luck!
So now you have two more days to check out other things. She was probably going to stop using you entirely anyway, and without the nuts to say so, she was stalling you off and would continue to do so with one day next week and one day in two weeks.
Nah she would have kept stringing me along until I put a stop to it. I told her in no uncertain terms that I knew the difference between being used and being utilized. She was just using me, and it's better that I don't abide.
People will ask and ask and ask, if you can do anything useful. Saying no is as important as saying yes. I usually say no. Simply put, the majority of efforts are by definition not worth my time since the best jobs pay more.
Similarly, when I hire people (to do stuff; I'm no one's boss), I want to be in their 10% best customers. Then they come and do a good job. Short of someone literally being my employee, that's what I can do.
I stopped giving a fuck entirely about a few years ago. I have never felt so free. I tell people exactly what is on my mind now, no censoring myself.
You would think this would cause me problems, but the opposite is true. No matter how rude or foul my language, everyone seems to find me endearing. I guess people just respect those they know won’t put up with their shit.
You're right. I'm still pissed. I'm not sure what I'm pissed about, probably myself even though I might have done myself a favor. I have strong work ethic so I'm sure it'll be fine. Just gotta tighten the belt for a few days.
"Something better will come along, it always does."
That may have been true a decade ago but if you're a White male in your 50's+ you have a very slim chance of landing a good job these days... you are the one demographic who's value hits the wall as you get older... sure theres a slim chance you might find somethin "better" but the odds are not in your favor

Beasts of burden need a controller to direct their behaviors, but unless he's literally low IQ or retarded, he shouldn't be looking for anyone to be over him.
That's probably one of those accidentally on purpose things where subconsciously you know what you should do. Start looking for better paid opportunities. Maybe something with direct customer billing.
You could apologize, because you were really upset about the days, not the person; but find something else. For whatever reason they don't have the job you're looking for.
I'm not sorry though. I refuse to apologize for something I'm not sorry for. I mean, it's gonna suck for a couple weeks. I'm regretful of that, but I'm really not sorry about what I said.
You could say your sorry. It's not like you did it front other people. Explain you need the hours,it's probably not her fault she doesn't have a lot of work.
It's really a complicated work environment, and I'm really not sorry. There's no accountability there, so people that do the bare minimum and/or show up drunk basically get rewarded for bad behavior. Meanwhile, the people that work their sobor ass off get the fuckin shaft.
I have another job making cabinets, but fuck man with the price of groceries, gas, and rent going through the fuckin roof it's not enough. I'll figure it out.
Was easy to recover from. Should have just sent her a bunch of laughing emojis and said, "I'd give anything to see your face right now!" Then say, "joking of course."

You can always follow up that text with “Jesus was right about the jews” for good measure. 👍

It's cathartic, I used to do that with work emails.

Treat it as an opportunity to find a new experience, one that wouldn't have existed if you were still toiling away for fuckwits.
