There is this guy at my office that doesn\u2019t like me.\u00a0 Now I\u2019m not saying that in that teenage kind of way in which I\u2019m just speculating, because I have every reason to believe that this guy just does not like me.\u00a0 He\u2019s significantly older than I am, and kind of symbolizes the old world.\u00a0 He was once in a position of managerial power, but was demoted at some point.\u00a0 My peers here who remember his regime of management cite that he was the utmost of micro-managers, and describe the kind of authority that would have made me quit, had I been present during that time.<\/span><\/p>\n But anyway, it\u2019s very obvious he doesn\u2019t care much for me.\u00a0 On the hierarchy of the office, he and I are essentially on the same plateau, and that has to bother him a great deal.\u00a0 He has his own office solely based on tenure, but the truth of the matter is that doesn\u2019t really do much different work than I do; if anything at all, he gets more shit work than I do.\u00a0 But if that\u2019s not enough justification, the fact that he won\u2019t ever look me in the eye, and on several instances, in the office and at the one out-of-town work conference I attended, he flat out refused to get on the same elevator as I was on.\u00a0 As in, he is waiting for an elevator, but when he sees me show up, he will not board the elevator if it means having to share it with me alone, and will blatantly stand put and wait for the next one.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n No matter, I don\u2019t particularly care for him either.\u00a0 I think he\u2019s a petty, meddling, obsolete, micro-managing, corporate stooge, but I don\u2019t really care of him enough to warrant any ill-will.\u00a0 I just think he\u2019s kind of an old nobody, but who has tenure with this company, so I shouldn\u2019t expect to see him go away any time soon.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, it was an interesting occurrence recently that has forced him to have to communicate with me, and I realize that aside from being the stooge he is, he\u2019s also kind of a Jew.<\/span><\/p>\n A few months ago, we got this brand new printer in the office.\u00a0 It\u2019s fast, does all sorts of cool things that nobody has really retained the knowledge to use, but the nicest thing is that it\u2019s fast.\u00a0 It\u2019ll spit out my 74 page documents in under a minute, full color, double-sided.\u00a0 However, there\u2019s been one problem about the printer that not just me, but several other people have noted, and has caused some people to straight up avoid it outright: it prints too dark.<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, I had a project where my proofs were noticeably unsightly compared to how they were supposed to turn out by virtue of the new printer.\u00a0 My boss noticed this, and informed the micro-managing Jew to come speak to me about it, and to order a technician to come out and re-calibrate the printer so that it printed, well, accurately.\u00a0 An entire day went by where micro-managing Jew didn\u2019t come speak to me.\u00a0 The next day, my boss came to my desk with micro-managing Jew in tow, and basically handed him off to me, to which was the first time in my 18 months here he has directly engaged me in discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n Micro-managing Jew\u2019s solution?\u00a0 Instead of ordering a tech to come and calibrate the printer, he suggested it would be best if I basically accepted the printer and its current performance for what it is, and to use a swatch book to retroactively seek out an alternate color to replace in my native files, so that it looks more accurate to source when we print it.\u00a0 Never mind the fact that I\u2019m dealing with reputable companies with very established, strict and unbendable identities, colors, guidelines and standards that I\u2019m supposed to adhere to.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHmm, that\u2019s an interesting way of getting around that<\/em>,\u201d was my only response, mostly to get him out of my presence.\u00a0 Somewhere along the line he forgot that what I do on is strictly front-end work; anything finalized is printed externally, and from printers that are typically calibrated and accurate.<\/span><\/p>\n Altering colors for the sake of accurate proofs at the expense of inaccurate final products is not how we do business.\u00a0 Needless to say, I have not changed any of my native files, and he has not called anyone to come and calibrate an inaccurate printer. To no surprise, he has not followed up in any fashion, because that would require engaging me in interaction again.\u00a0 In the end, the printer issue has not been solved, and I have even less regard for this micro-managing, petty-minded Jew.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is this guy at my office that doesn\u2019t like me.\u00a0 Now I\u2019m not saying that in that teenage kind of way in which I\u2019m just speculating, because I have every reason to believe that this guy just does not like me.\u00a0 He\u2019s significantly older than I am, and kind of symbolizes the old world.\u00a0 … Continue reading This is not how business is conducted<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,72,94,37,15],"class_list":["post-33828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-fail","tag-government","tag-graphic-design","tag-job","tag-og"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33828"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33830,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33828\/revisions\/33830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
