This was my exact face on Sunday. I was not amused, not pleased, not happy.

Woken up by a text at 10:30am, I rolled over to check who it was. Bad decision. It was QB asking me to find something on the government’s website. I pfft-ed and rolled back to the other side.



Come noon and I was out having brunch with parents, and I received a text from her urging me to reply sooner rather than later. I begrudgingly replied. This was where the nightmare started.

One text soon became two, two became four, four became eight. She knew I was awake so there wasn’t much of an excuse. So there I was, out in the streets, doing research for her while walking with my parents, trying to spend some time with them.

Didn’t get a thank you, didn’t get any appreciation. She pressed with her questions and I duly responded to each and everyone of them, no matter how NOT URGENT this matter was. All she wanted to do was revise an entry in Wikipedia. Seriously? This couldn’t wait? I don’t see the urgency in that.

For me, if it was urgent, then I would definitely entertain your request. Business is, after all, business. For stupid shit like this?

At the end of all that, she had the audacity to send me this. The following is verbatim.

We don’t do thing tmr. We do thing now! Give more energy to this.

I kid you not.

Folks, this is why people leave the company. Unreasonable bosses play a huge factor. You would do well to remember that. Bottom line – don’t ask people to do work outside of working hours unless it’s urgent or agreed.
