So I consider myself a pretty solid employee where I work. I have my complaints but I do my job well. So anyway, we have this new guy who is just frothing at the mouth to do "new and exciting things" in the department, probably prove his worth, and is subtly trying to upstage the rest of us who have been there a while. That's all par for the course.

But he pitched the idea we all go to a conference this coming weekend. 3 days, 8-5, Friday to Sunday. Our boss, mercifully, said no. So he went over her head. And the big boss said yes. Now we all have to go and I have no weekend to look forward to. Is it wrong for me to hate him?

Please merge with CCS random thoughts thread

Absolutely not. Sounds like that kid that used to tell the teacher they forget to give us homework.

In what business can you go over your boss' head and survive?

 

[SERE Bear]

No, you should hate him and spike his coffee with visine. Him going above the boss's head means that your boss should provide the visine.


HTH

Is the conference in Honolulu, in an interesting field, and do people go out and party every night?

Last conference I went to was the most fucked up Ive been in years. My buddy gave a talk pretty drunk. Good times, really.

 

[KittiesKorner]

Our boss is a fucking imbecile so that doesn't help. Also, once the big boss thought it was a good idea, so did she

Impress your bosses boss and piss off everyone else. Solid plan, he should keep his resume updated.

Nope, it's local

There are ways to do that without blowing up everyone's weekend, unless you're a hall monitor ****.

While that ****** bag is sleeping, you and your co-workers should get together and do this to him:

troll him by outdoing him at his own game. talk over him, say exactly what he's about to say, be totally "outside the box" and agree with the things he says like they were your ideas first. If he's the type I'm thinking he is, you might be able to make his head explode.

I'm "locked in" to be promoted by department poaching next fiscal year. But meanwhile my weekend is fucked.

Turn your office into a game

Lol, sooner or later it becomes a GoT thread, at least for another couple weeks

You should recommend to your boss(es) that this butt-****** write up a report for this conference and give a presentation to the senior management.

 

[KittiesKorner]

I don't need to. He will, anyway. I'm going to wear my zubaz to the conference and bring a 12-pack of Keystone Light.

I like this plan, but they might like it, so it could very well backfire.
