So we decided to turn over a new leaf at work. Turns out my old manager is under extreme stress for me to succeed in my role. From the way he was saying it, it sounded like there was some hectic shit going on in the background.

He apologised to the 2 dudes he shoved and he's gone back to being normal.

So that's a win.

We worked twice as hard (literally) at last week's eofy event than the same time last year, however there is a backlog of work because we're understaffed and the expectation from the old timers is that we work 12 hour days every day to get it done.

That's not how things work these days. It's not the late 90s.

And the world isnt going to end.

Would have been nice for someone to say "good work leading the team dude".

I get why people buy lottery tickets.
