Hey, bud. I can't leave the office after just getting there to go lift weights. I also have zero control over 80% of the meetings I attend. Dude has no idea how privileged he is.

    Saying NO is a superpower!

    "Hey, Sanctus. Where are you going? I was hoping you'd finish that report before noon?"

    NO

    "Uh, OK? Guess I'll see you at the meeting with our main customer then."

    NO

    See how easy that is?

    Mate, it's impossible to work with you, we'll have to make you redundant, I'm sorry.

    NO

    Its really easy until everyone complains I'm saying no, my review scores drop, and I get fired. Idk what kind of heaven exists out there where you can actually say no without the rest of the office dogpiling you like rabid corporate zombies but its not the place I work at. I could say no once, that person hold a vendetta, and give me a 1/10 on my review, costing me a raise. Its absolutely a fucking Klingon culture up in here.

    Saying no is a superpower, just not in the way the author of the original post intended. As comments like yours highlight, saying no to nonsense work is out of reach for the vast majority of people who would most benefit from it (i.e. workers who are bothered by managers). It sounds like your workplace is especially gruelling in that respect.

    Its a slog for no reason, it doesnt have to be like this at all. The "leaders" create and actively maintain this environment. I have given whole presentations on how to fix it. They want it to remain a brutal revolving door.

    This schedule is completely unrealistic even with privilege

    No meetings until 2pm? Doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, guarantee you interact with industries that work 8-4 and will not bend over backwards to schedule you at the end of their day. Like does this person just not go to the doctor? Or deal with banking issues?
