I'm a GenX boss. Of COURSE I'm going to ask you for the name of your tattoo artist.

Keep it going

I'm a GenX boss. Of COURSE there is no drug testing.
I'm a GenX boss. Of COURSE my phone has literally zero notifications turned on. It's not that I don't love you. It's just that when we're not at work you're all dead to me.

@Lana

I'm a GenX boss. I read internet forums on my computer at work as a way to set an example to you of how hard you should be working.

@Lana When one of my team emails me at 17:35, I reply promptly by 08:15, unless I've specifically asked them to work overtime on a critical issue.
@Lana I'm a GenX boss. Of course all work is now "latchkey work"—fully remote, but you've got the option of a key to shared office spaces if you want. This isn't my first epidemic.
@Lana I'm a Gen X boss. Before we get started, did you see this week's Lower Decks?
@Lana @jimbush I’m a GenX boss. Look, I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing 5 years, so I definitely don’t expect you to, but HR insists on keeping this thing in the review form so just lie to me.

@jimbush @Lana

I have more or less literally done this.

@jimbush @Lana

Also: how great is Lower Decks!? It has no right to be that good, honestly.

@Lana
I’m a GenX boss. Of COURSE there’s a drug policy - if you do drugs at work, you have to bring enough to share.
@Lana
I’m a GenX boss. Of COURSE if you want to take a religious day of you can. Just reach in the bowl and pick a name of one at random to put on your calendar for that day. No one looks to see if they are real.

@AirlockDoc @Lana

I'm a GenX boss. I think we'll get along fine, but never believe it when upper management trots out that "family" bullshit.

I'll feel terrible if I have to lay you off, which is why, off the record, you should consider organizing.

@michaelcoyote @AirlockDoc @Lana

I’m a Gen X boss.

You’ve got mental health stuff going on? Take a sickie.

You’ve got the sick time. Use it.

(Just don’t say it’s the deprexiety. Grab a Covid test and some soda for a false positive.)

You’re paid for 40h, don’t give more than 40h. Whenif we get old, none of us will regret not increasing shareholder value.

@Aphrodite @michaelcoyote @AirlockDoc @Lana

THIS: "When/if we get old, none of us will regret not increasing shareholder value."

❤️

@Aphrodite @michaelcoyote @AirlockDoc @Lana you allocate sick time? I’ve never understood how that is humane. Just let people take the time they need. Being sick isn’t a vacation so shouldn’t be allocated like it is.

@brindy @michaelcoyote @AirlockDoc @Lana

You’re right but I’m in North America, parts which believe that if you get sick SkyDaddy™ hates you. (If they get sick it’s SkyDaddy testing them or some such BS.)

@Lana I’m a GenX boss. I don’t give a shit what you’re doing as long as we leave my boss out of it.

@FlagrantError
I'm a gen-x boss, just do some work of some kind, make good choices, post the good memes in slack and try to not burn anything down, ok?

I know it doesn't fit the pattern but still
@Lana

@Lana I’m a GenX boss. All work is now remote. Please go home.
@Lana I'm a Gen X boss. There's no space in the break room for a ping-pong table or any such nonsense, but please enjoy the Simpsons arcade machine set to free play.
@Rob_T_Firefly @Lana *raises paw * uh.. is... is that the two player or four player variant...
@Lana I'm a GenX boss. I'm too old for this management shit. Just do the job and email me your hours or any blockage.
@Lana I'm a Gen X boss. I'm the most left-wing, anti-work person you know.
@Lana I'm a GenX boss. Of course I don't want you to put that in email or in Teams or in the HR work system. Don't give them any more data than necessary!
@Lana I’m a GenX boss and when my employees run out of sick time, I make up bullshit activities in their time reporting so HR never knows, and they don’t have to eat into their PTO like we’re supposed to do. #genxboss #fucktheman
@Lana I'm a Gen X boss. While open discussion of Sesame Street at your desks or in the breakroom is welcome, Elmo shall not be mentioned at this business.
@Lana I'm a GenX boss. "Dressing up" for the corporate event means I'll put on my *nice* hoodie and jeans.
