Monday: you set me an impossible task, here's the email where I asked for confirmation that you knew the task was impossible and here's the one where you confirmed it. This has been the review.

Or: "I'm sorry I have work that needs to get done scheduled till Tuesday, I'll be able to start on this then."

(Edit: Better yet, give that as your report Monday morning.)

Yup!

When the little tin pot dictator managers come at you, it isn't sufficient to merely ignore them. You must make a mockery of their power and shame them, or they'll keep coming.

Everywhere I've worked, I'm in with the minority of real people that don't drink the corpo Kool-aid, and I make it a point to perform my job skills very well, but make any managers or supervisors that prove uncool recoil at the thought of engaging with me.

It's sport to me at this point. American Employers set these terms. If they put employees and customers first as was once the case until private shareholders rigged the system, it would be different. Game on greedy motherfuckers and class traitors.
