That’s what I’m thinking.

Other employees were complaining about them for one reason or another.

Nuisance and annoying...............

They ones who think highly of themselves are usually the worst performers.

You could be God’s gift, but that doesn’t mean your employer will keep you.

Like I said, welcome to real life where the world owes nobody a living.

No, welcome to life under a narcissistic prick like Zuckerberg.

A decent company run by decent people wouldn’t do this.

So stop apologizing for garbage like him.

The SOB preens himself as some sort of humanitarian but the reality is that enough is never enough for him, and he doesn’t care who he has to screw to get it.

I’m not apologizing for anyone.

Like the late, great Rush Limbaigh, I live in Realville.

And in Realville nobody owes anyone else a living.

Yep, there’s a lot more to keeping one’s job than just being technically skilled. Something that learned the hard way decades ago, but then paid off big-time later.

For folks who want job security, here’s a suggestion...

Move to China.

You can have a permanent job as a slave of the state.

But I’m betting they won’t do that.

Go figure.

I was once in a position where the company was deciding to change the group I was in from college-grad minimum to anyone-off-the-street solely for cost savings.

It was clear when come review time I was ranked as exceeds or significantly exceeds expectations on the five breakout evaluation points but my overall score was a barely-meets expectation, which meant no pay raise.

I took the hint and changed careers. And watched the previous department fall apart, with two levels of management removed and back to hiring college grads.

As a good performer you’ll have no problem bouncing back .

Most low performers don’t know they’re low performers. Hence Dunning-Kruger Effect.
