Not your problem what gets dumped on you next week.
I literally dropped my two weeks at the start of a briefing for the major report my bosses just assumed I’d be around for.
As your bosses are about to hopefully find out, talent management is a key part of supervising.

Your situation is / was unfortunate.
But I’m going to go with my (albeit slightly hyperbolic) statement that most of these men are not walking up to complete strangers and / or colleagues then screaming obscenities & wishes for grave misfortune at them in public.

And it’s always folks you know, KNOW do not talk like to this to women in their actual lives.

Heh. It’s odd seeing people celebrating 30th anniversaries of grads I was in the stands for. Yowza.

Oh I imagine that's a religion-driven insurgency over there. Makes the Troubles seem like a minor argument over Sprite vs. 7 Up...

Counterpoint--It's a pre-K graduation versus a Master's. Like the kid's high school or college grad? We're in violent agreement.
But pre-K? Nah fam, that's so outside the realm of expected behavior course they didn't have a conversation about it.
But I wouldn't put it on TikTok though.

Heh. Yeah, being a pro goes a long, long way.
I know of an author who has removed himself from many projects because he became a total jackass once he was “made.”

Yeah, but the fine print there is many of those are “murder-suicides.”

I’m not seeing this as a positive. It’s all fun and games until Burning Man becomes a feeding frenzy…

100% had a chance to force a trade, took the cash. I lost all sympathy at that point.

It’s always fun when the client realizes that high powered lawyer they hired has no idea wtf they’re doing with a local judge. I imagine it’s 10x worse at the Fed level.

Mom would have to explain this to divorce clients all the time.
“Yes, your Mom is paying for your divorce because she hates your wife. But if she comes in here, might as well invite your soon to be ex-MIL too…”

^This. For the same reasons we didn’t enact the Morgenthau Plan, it is possible to have too much retribution.
But boy howdy, watching swinging Firebreathers getting their eyes pecked out by crows for a couple months probably would have served a purpose.
