Right now, I work for myself. So no a-hole co-workers.

But I have worked for just short of 40 years. I have worked with every imaginable a-hole around. Suck-ups, hollier-than- thous, slackers, you name it.

I even worked for a manager (Barbara K-S) who was a co-worker before they promoted her to manager who was hell bent on getting me fired from IBM. Fortuntely, they promoted her (of all things) out of there before she could get me fired. (Funny how I could go from a 4 (Consitant non-performer) to a 1 (Consistantly out performs) with a change of a manager!) I saw her on the front of the Charlotte Observer a few years ago. I put it in the crawl space under my house and all the mice and spiders ran away!

My tale of woe:

I've worked for this company for over a year. It's 3 hours from everyone I know, but I bit the bullet in this economic climate.

Anyway, it's a Regional Office (just the two of us - myself and the boss), except my boss is the Senior Regional Manager (there are 8 regions in England) so he's in on a lot of the national decisions.

Over the last 8 months we've been in the process of applying for funding again from Sport England - which means that my manager has had a huge national focus, kicking all of the regional work to me. So I've been doing my own work and 70% of HIS regional work for no extra pay. (basically he just double checked everything I'd done on his behalf was right, then signed off on it - as I've never made a mistake he's just got into the habit of signing off on it).

So I figure it's good for the reference and he assured me that my work was getting noticed. However, there's an incompetent brown noser at Head Office (as in I have to double check everything he says because he fugs up orders etc so often) who has been at the company 6 months less than me who has just received a pay rise and a promotion over me.

Went to my manager and asked - he said it was in recognition of his hard work. I asked if, during all of his numerous meetings with the senior players, he'd mentioned how much extra work I was doing - he said it hadn't come up.

On top of all this someone else at my level (who again isn't as good at her job as me) has just taken a job elsewhere with a £10k pay rise.

TL;DR - frustrated with my job, but feeling guilty about applying elsewhere.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
