minor things that make you fume


I'm attend alot of meetings at the moment that involve the phrase 'high level' being used. Gives me Kendall from Succession vibes every time as most of whats said is stock waffle.
Honestly I hate this management speak. I started in my new role last October and have to partake in endless teams meetings which are utterly pointless exercises… basically a place where too many people believe in their own self importance and love using buzz words… the latest phrase being “maximum, achievable and sustainable ceilings”…. Basically means doing what we’re supposed to be doing and maintaining that standard.

Alot of talk about raising your own profile too. I have said i have no interest in that, i don't have any social media and as much as i am paid well i like to think i do my role for some altruistic reasons too, as much as i know thats comprised when your paid.

Once you work in an advocay role and lose sight of why you are suppossed to be there its game over as far as I'm concerned.
 

Supermarkets introducing barricades to get in /out.
Yeah very annoying, went to Sainsbury's yesterday and not only was there nobody on the tills, after I scanned my own shopping i then had to scan my receipt to get out (even though they gave me the option at the till not to print out my receipt.

May as well start packing the shelves for them too.

Can you put the Crug champagne in the reduced shelf for me please, just before I turn up. Ta.
 
Been on merseyrail a few times recently and each time they have a lot of security / ticket inspectors running down the train trying to catch people out now.

Yeah if you don’t have a ticket you deserve the fine, but they all seem to be the same intimidating and have a smile of joy catching people.

Saw a young lad on his way to school and he couldn’t find his pass.

Got off the same stop and 4 of them surrounded him in quite a confrontational and harassing manner.

Sure there’s better ways to do it or finally have a tap in and out like London etc with gates at certain stations. Mad we still need paper tickets.

Guess they need to pay for the new trains.
 
I've never known anybody ever in films/tv who, when they're told to 'take it easy ', or 'calm down', do in fact, take it easy or calm down.
