  • I really need to learn how to let things go and stop being petty

    I mean… no, you don’t. As long as you can manage possible repercussions… I say be petty. As petty as you can be while consequence free. Go nuts with it and enjoy it. Share key events with trusted loved ones and they may offer useful strategic suggestions.

    Also, managers’ entire jobs consist in lying, manipulating, coercing, dehumanizing, snitching, and gathering info/planning around the former. A good manager is a usually a bad human being (either happily or though fear/incentives), and a good human being is usually a bad manager.

    Source: I’m a manager and I deliberately try to be as bad as possible at my job due to ethical convictions. :)






  • Thank you. I consider myself a decent managerial saboteur / supervisional terrorist

    Some people might take this further like spamming tech support/ IT with nonsensical tickets that somehow end up being something brought up to management which would force them to determine some policy (which they hate doing)

    Others might find it amusing to open debates about how certain harmless terminology used in calendar events may cause offense to “people we should be looking after” due to “ideological considerations” “possibly triggering” even if no relevant members of any group are in the team. Some people may bring this up in HR.

    The key concepts to destroy any organizational effort are “techincally allowed”, “plausible deniability” and “could get someone in a lot of trouble”.



    • Spam personal fake notes everywhere. “Joey’s little league game”, “Call dentist” and make completely useless ones like “remember the thing” for maximum annoyance.
    • Add obscure religious holidays and random countries’ national festivities. “Bhutan Losar day. Get decorations.”
    • Put in washed up celebrities’ birthdays “David Hasselhoff’s b-day”.
    • Include random bad album release anniversaries. “18 year release anniversary of Kid Rock - Live Trucker”.
    • Register inaccurate astrological milestones with random advice. “Leo ascending in Pluto. Good day for new beginnings”.
    • Every once in a while add events that are just random characters such as “HERDBhbcdbcnn nnnnnnnn” which you can later claim were added accidentally from your pocket.
    • Make sure some of the events are written IN ALL CAPS
    • Be lavish with your use of exclamation marks!!!1!!111
    • Occasionally add reviews of your day scheduled for a few hours later as if using the calendar as a diary, including details about health conditions and sex life. “Rough day today… had a lot of work and <partner> didn’t want to get frisky because of the hemmorhoids”
    • Write down random math calculations here and there that suggest you are confusing the calendar with an excel spreadsheet “=27.5/3”
    • Include the most bland and sad motivational quotes every couple of days with several typos as if written ina rush: “YO cndo it!!!” “YOU WILL ALEAYS BE BEeeTIFUL, gril. Ownit!!!”
    • Add fake Google search queries as if confusing the calendar with your search bar “cheap viernamese restaurant charlottesville” “how dolphins swim so fast ND jump”

    Extra bonus points if you can invite him to the “events” and get the calendar to send him push notifications for occasional 5:30 am “wake up early for the thing”. If he accuses you of bad faith for inviting him, tell him it’s the default and you keep forgetting to remove him.

    Not only will this annoy him, it will render the system impossible to supervise and you can always claim you ALWAYS organize your personals through your calendar and this “is just how i organize”.

    Good luck and give em hell.

    Edit: Elaborated and more ideas

    Edit 2: Few more ideas.
