us left handed people are the single most oppressed group in the entire world and it's time WE got special treatment like every other oppressed group gets

Work is making us come in 3 days a week starting next year for no practical reason (it's not like we're adding a bunch of in person meetings to our schedules or doing tons of hands-on training) and then getting mad at people for complaining. Many of us weren't even invited to the meeting they announced this, myself included. I had to learn it through office gossip, and I HATE participating in that shit.

So I'm drawing a line in the sand. I've been a "temp" worker for over half a decade and don't want to tell my coworkers I'm neurodivergent in case it either eliminates my chances of being hired as a real employee or worst case scenario they suddenly let me go for something completely unrelated. Not sharing this info means that every time I go to work I'm masking up, and it is FRICKING EXHAUSTING KEEPING THIS SHIT UP FOR YEARS. I requested either full wfh or a compromise where I only need to come in during the mornings. The compromise means corporate still gets their precious little badge swipe data and a check in one of their boxes. I'm not sure if it will actually get approved since while I was lucky enough to be diagnosed as a small child, my parents thought it was something you "got over" and threw out all related paperwork when we moved. No idea if I can actually prove I'm neurodivergent as an adult, and if I can even find a doctor to re-diagnose me, it will probably cost thousands.

Wish me luck in the coming weeks, I need this job for at least another year.

lmao imagine being a temp worker for over 5 years without being offered an actual full-time job and thinking you provide any significant value to the company

also lmao at "oh well i could come in the mornings", you know they're gonna consider their commute home part of their working hours

Let's say, hypothetically, you've been a naughty child even, ok, and if you were a naughty child you would also be waging war on Christmas? Then hypothetically speaking you would be on my little Naughty List. Now let's say that you're also a non-Christian child, now that we've established you're both a bad child and non-Christian child, then I believe you'd agree with me when I say that you deserve a stocking full of coal, am I not correct? A bad child deserves a stocking full of coal and as I am Father Christmas, you are my child, so I am the one who must provide punishment.
