Jackie's Fridge

They need me more than I need them. I put in a little extra time here and there. I roll with management’s last minute emergencies that arise from their lack of planning and communication, and I course correct with knowledge of real world logistics that they never think of, saving their bacon and making them look better than they should. I am flexible and agreeable and get my work done regularly and efficiently.

If they fire me I’ll happily collect unemployment and watch them implode.

When I “request” time off, it’s not a request. It’s a notification. I will be gone. The work needed to be done is done or will be done by the deadlines. Any emergencies that arise in the meantime will be dealt with when I’m back. If my request is denied, that’s not my problem, I will still be gone.

So what exactly does he do that’s worth $300,000/hr? Or let’s say he works 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for the whole year (and you know he does not), $190,000/hr?

Yup. The one thing I tell Linux-curious friends is that you will install the distro of your choice, spend a week and a half on random forums digging up random commands to get everything working properly, and then you should be good.

Literally ask someone which switch it is. Then ask them what idiot wired them up that way
