@3967703f I did find all sorts of little ways though to express my discontent...wearing my name badge upsidedown, or all my badges in a row, writing really really small or big in reports, using hundreds of post-its everywhere about everything, wearing a fluorescent red cardigan...
@02439a38 🤣 I've only worked for a couple/few orgs. I've mostly worked on my own because I can't follow dumbass rules. I can't do it and I'm not doing it.

I recommend 'spell casting' against oppressive management. Long story short - it worked for me.

re- resilience:
After 8 years at one job my resilience was exhausted. Very loud arguments with my manager (seems I was too needed to be fired). I was on my knees - exhausted with it all. But I loved the work (IT troubleshooting).
So one weekend I resorted to spell casting ("get this fcker off my back!"
On the Monday he called to say his wife had died. Yikes! So time on the job without him. He returned eventually much more 'humane'. The next year he shows me a pic of him & wifey on recent holiday. Turns out he had used that last resort 'relative died' ploy to get extra time off.
I lasted another 2 years until ye olde reorganization of dept put an end to it all. @5fdf2f13 Jesus. I thought the rule was you can only kill people off at work who were already dead. 🤔 😃 @02439a38
