Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

    Job: Software Dev

    Internal stakeholder or C-Suite: presents nebulous idea for workflow/product/feature with no actual end goal

    “We have a CRITICAL need for this product. It will REVOLUTIONIZE everything we do here. The stakes could not be higher. THIS MUST BE COMPLETED ASAP”

    My boss: Okay. We will move heaven and Earth to get this done for you.

    Me: Works 60 hours a week for two months to ensure the new product is successful

    Also me: checking usage statistics six months later…last used by me during go live testing

    I hate my life.

      The more urgency an idea is promoted with, the less need there is in real life for that idea.
