    Hey man, thanks for sharing. You made me feel better knowing that I’m not alone in this work hellscape.

    My work day is exactly this. The main difference is I’m fully remote and I fear for my job since my last 3 jobs laid me off because I didn’t want to go back into the hell hole that was in-office.

    So, I dropped from a director to an IC senior manager and am constantly looking for new jobs because after about a year or so some VP or CMO gets switched out and will try and implement RTO so I try and stay ahead of it.

    I honestly just want enough money to put my kids to school and retire. Then I would buy a 3D printer and spend the rest of my life tinkering.

    I almost got divorced many times with my wife. I’m super lucky that I got help and am taking Ritalin along with my wife telling me that my meds are wearing off so I can re-up.






  • So a few years ago I wanted to play a Japanese version of a rhythm game that isn’t available to purchase in the USA and decided to try my hand at modding my switch for this one game.

    After(poorly) doing it, I wasn’t able to play that game AND Nintendo bricked me. All my games on my switch that I purchased were unable to download or play anymore.

    So I went and set out to mod my switch correctly.

    Now if I actually wanted to give Nintendo money, they won’t allow me to. So my only option from then on is to pirate.

    They basically turned a potentially paying customer to a non paying customer.


  • Ya, they give names for the robbers. Lol. I remembered they had a guy named The Valentine bandit. Because he first robbed his first branch on Valentine’s Day. Some of them get silly names like Fake Limp man.

    Most robberies are very discreet. Mine was just a note and flashed a gun.

    Also note to any would be robbers. You don’t need a weapon. We always comply. A few bucks is not worth our lives. Also if you even show a weapon or implied you have one, you literally increase your charge from robbery to robbery with a deadly weapon which just increased your jail sentence 5 times.


  • Sometimes they have the plate numbers. But we sorta know when someone is coming in to do bad things by the way they are driving into the parking lot.

    Most drivers slowly pull into a parking lot. Find a spot near the branch door. Gather their stuff. Slowly walk to the branch doors.

    A bank robber drives into the lot very fast. Doesn’t bother finding a spot. Rushes out the door and is constantly looking around.

    I only been robbed once and prevented a handful of times. We caught the girl who robbed me because we recognized her.

    I remember being a teller and we would play games guessing what people were coming into do. Talk to a banker or deposit or cashing a check.


  • I used to work at the bank and bank robbers are almost always caught. Not because they didn’t get away from robbing the bank. It’s because once they do it once they continue robbing banks and one day they will get caught.

    We regularly get reports for bank robbers that hit a branch. They typically hit another close branch, but we lock our doors the second they pull up.
