In the latest manufactured round of alarm, managers are apparently retaliating for ''Quiet Quitting' by 'Quiet Firing', where they
- avoid one-to-one conversations
- refuse to provide feedback
- fail to share critical information needed to perform their jobs
- pass workers over for promotions
- subject employees to stingy raises, or no raises at all.

Sounds like everywhere I've worked for the last twenty years, to be honest. And I broke myself working for those guys.

Fuck 'em.

There's buzzin' and ringin' in my ear
And I wonder where do I go from here
The moments missed, the tickin' of time
I suppose this life is mine, all mine
I remember a time when my mind was clean and clear
- The Heads (Damage I've Done)

That's a lie, though. I don't remember a time when my mind was cleaner, or clearer, than it is now.

This doesn't, unfortunately, mean I'm productive in a useful-to-business direction. Just alert, and emotionally well regulated.

That's the best I can usually do.
