Why I like my job... and videos from work.
In and out of livejournal land, I've had a handful of inquires about my livejournal's open policy and my recent posts concerning work. To the best of my knowledge, only my ex-boss Ken has ever read my livejournal (and he even replies from time to time). I don't think I have anything to fear. Everything I type is either true or speculation (like what Chris is up to). I do not believe I will be fired over expressing my opinion... I think it would have happened already as I'm pretty vocal at work too.

Besides, I'm already hated by many of the people outside of my little office. This fact was again reinforced during one of my meetings this past Friday. With that said I'm comfortable and not struggling to for money. I also love dearly the people in my little office. My small group gets along amazingly well, and many people within the group regard each other as family. That's why I love my job. Sure I'm making myself indispensable by doing the shit no higher up wants to do, but once I'm in my office everything gets better. I look forward to seeing the small group I work with, when I'm sick I can work from home, and in my mind the pros still outweigh the cons. But thank you all for your concern, I can only hope my arrogance in this matter doesn't bite me in the ass later.

This isn't everyone, but here is a video of work from two weeks ago. There are a few more videos on that account if anyone feels like watching.

Although I appreciate your entries regarding work....

If I was your boss, I would fire your ass.

A major quality of being a professional is using discretion when discussing work policies and politics. If they ever need a reason to "let you go" or "hold you back" you should expect that these entries will be one of the reasons why. Don't take your job for granted. Seriously. We have seen MANY articles about bloggers losing their jobs.

Ok, so I'm the former boss... and I didn't fire him. Do you know how nice it is to work in a workplace that you don't have to fear? That is one of the reasons that I think people considered me a decent "boss" - I based their performance on what they did in the office and that was that.

People are people. You, however, would make a crappy boss for exactly the reasons you stated.

Cheers!
