I honestly can’t believe how soulless our biggest customers area managers are. They sent out two huge bids Tuesday and Wednesday and put closing dates on them early enough in the new year that in order to put in competitive, realistic bids on them, we will need to sacrifice what few days we are supposed to be with our families over Christmas and New Year’s weeks to go scout and estimate hundreds of sites. And because my boss has gone absolutely bonkers on capital purchases this year, we could really use the volume.

After wearing ourselves down to the bone going the extra mile to serve them this year, this is the thanks we get. I really wonder if they even see us as human. Just nodes on their enterprise software, waiting at their beck and call. I’ve about had it with corporations. Ugh.

No souls in the fiat mines

2600 years ago a guy said greed, hatred and ignorance are the root causes of all suffering. Looks like greed and ignorance in this case.

Plan your exit, and make the move!

Believe me I am. DCA’ing my way out, one buy at a time. It’s funny, if my boss had taken half the capital he’s spent on depreciating assets over the past four and a half years and bought Bitcoin, he’d already be sitting on more wealth than he’s going to make selling this company.

You could have a new (and more respectful/professional) employer in a month. Then your DCA'ing would be less stressful, and you could have time with your loved ones. Personally, I'd notify them that I'll be calling in sick on those days, but I'm used to burning bridges with unprofessional customers.
