Apparently my boss just made masks manditory again. I worked a shift with everyone else wearing them, but I didn't want to push the subject. I'm just not going to wear one again. I hadn't gotten a memo like everyone else did apparently. But my manager on duty on that shift is very anti-mask so he was happy to not say anything to me about it. But I'm not going to get the same luck of the draw continually, and today the issue may come to a head. Besides him we have some absolute covid obsessed idiots on management. I happen to be the star employee there so we will see if they are willing to toss literally their only trainer away over a mask that does absolutely nothing. Something tells me they still might.

I may be a free man in about an hour or two.

It's not hard to be a star employee anymore because most employees are lazy "get through the day" people. Just being on here and not being an NPC puts them ahead of the average worker drone.

Exactly. I'm not amazing. Everyone else just sucks. It sounds arrogant to say, but it is an unfortunate truth of our place lately.

I'm far from as good as I want to be. No one should be. If you don't see room for growth in yourself, you are bad at your job. But part of that humility is what causes people to grow. And because I've grown and also don't treat people like a dickhead management practically worships me, because I seem to be the only one with that trifecta of having a brain, being at least good at what I do, and not being cancerous to everyone around me. We've had no option but to hire absolute lemons lately. Everyone else unfortunately fails on at least one of those fronts. I'm a star employee not from my own perspective, but theirs. I'm willing to spend some of that reputation on not suffocating myself doing a rather physical job that requires me to be able to breeth.

I'm also not the only good employee they've ever had. We used to have a lot of them. I'm the last employee with those three traits left. If I were to depart it would mark the begining of an era of having no employees they can implicitly rely on.

Yeah I've seen that too. Bullshit policies and bad decisions drive out the good people and the ones that stay don't care so you end up with a building full of low quality people.

Most of my standing out at work had more to do with a stable healthy lifestyle then anything else. I always got 8-9 hours of sleep, I always exercised in the morning before work and I meditated 2x a day. So I was peaking in energy and focus from the second I stepped in the door and rode an endorphin high for most of the day from intense workouts. Meanwhile my co-workers just woke up and are guzzling coffee trying to get moving for half the day.
