Reply #3: The reason I never went into management positions is I'm not an asshole [View All]

[lunatica]

I'm serious. Supervisors and managers sell their souls to the company. They think a little corruption is OK. Well it's as OK as being just a little pregnant.

When my bother died I was in college and took an exam in which I didn't do very well because I was grieving. I talked to the professor and asked him if I could take it again because I had been out of town with my brother until he died after an accident (the whole family was there). The fucking asshole said that wasn't enough of a reason for him to allow me to retake the test. He added that others in the classroom didn't take time off so it would be unfair for me to take the test again.

People like that are their own center of the universe. If it doesn't touch them personally, it simply isn't important.
