The image is formatted in a tweet with image format. The caption says "handle with care" over two pictures. The first picture is of an Amazon package with "fragile" written in sharpie. The second picture is on the inside the box with a paper and the text "a middle manager's ego" on it.

Got a new boss once my company merged. First round table meeting and he starts attacking our imaging team for not working fast enough, claiming all received requests should and could be boxed and shipped within 48 hours of being received.

After the imaging team kinda fumbled their words, I stepped in and just flat out said that is not true, not of what he said was true. Then explained why. Having to break it down for him that these are office tech workers that support one of the largest teams with the highest turnovers. They don't have the luxury of sitting down and doing nothing but one thing consistently.

The guys hasn't spoken to me in almost 2 years sense. Other than "hey I'm sick, hey I'm going on PTO, e.t.c." he passively snaps at me if I speak up in team meetings now. It's fuckin hilarious.
