It is nice talking to all of you. Some of us get along and some don't. It has been a rough few weeks, maybe months at this point. How often do you feel like everyone around you just are not trying at all? Not that they can't get it done. Just that they just don't care and don't bother. I am getting really tired of picking up the slack.

I used to have my own small business. The pay was great, but inconsistent, and having to go months between big jobs could be stressful. And I sucked at hiring qualified people who wanted to work at a starting salary and did a quality job. They would leave the second they could to work for bigger companies that would pay more and expect less out of them. Best guy I ever hired was definitely autistic, but he was detail oriented and could do the work better than anyone else. He's the only one that I gave pay raises without him asking.

But having to be available all hours of the day to run a business was stressful and not compatible with family life. So now I work for a big corporate outfit with only a few people to manage, and expectations are few. But the pay is steady and my investments are enough that I could retire when I want and live comfortably. But I don't want to work hard for a promotion, because the minor increase in pay isn't worth the headache.

Yeah, I totally understand all of that. I damn near killed myself working for some companies and I am done doing that. I just want people to do at least the bare minimum like read the fucking instructions that I wrote so simply that a 6 year old could do the job.

It blows my mind when someone manages to fuck something up that is so simple you can just copy&paste and hit enter if you just fucking read what I wrote.

I am not asking someone to bust their ass or take away from family life or personal time. Just do the most basic things possible that are highly defined and nearly impossible to fuck up.. Unless you don't read the fucking manual. (by manual I mean about 2 pages if printed including the things you need to copy&paste to achieve the desired result).
