Promotion came through, a blessing.
Yesterday, I was in the office and they wanted me to replace the normal microphone with some wired ones that daisy chained together and are set on the conference room tables. That shyt was not working and as I was rushing to do it, I was flooded with negative feelings about being under employed.
This morning at 7:30, the COO messaged me on Slack asking if I could change the mics. I saw his message 5 minutes ago

One of the more comical parts of my job is when I’m searching for pictures of what we’re going to do/who we’ll talk to and the photo service has numerous images of all-Asians as my search results
Why do they have a contractor starting on the Thursday before Labor Day weekend?

I mentioned earlier this year how I’m taking on more “complex” projects and accounts that are allegedly strategic.
So the past month or so I’ve taken on a government ish account that has a lot of upfront requirements, time, and the govt is continuously running background checks (on me!) and there’s active stuff I have to do to keep our company active for their system. (We were awarded over half a mil but have only used/“won” less than $20k). We subcontract the work itself to a former employee and have to still do all the above pretty much just to enable their biz and employees to have access. I looked at the numbers and this is 1) crazy, why are we passing 95% of the funds to the sub, and 2) basically need to drop it, we make nothing and have to fully staff it?
Pro tip: when someone is pressing you for access to something that only benefits them, there’s a reason. Yesterday’s price ain’t today’s!
