Yeah, I learned the hard way that one of the worst things you can say at a megacorporation is "this manager is just creating work to justify their existence in the company". In my case, it was directly applied to a specific manager (who heard me say it), and it led to me being lectured and yelled at and told that it was "unprofessional" talk (which to be fair it kind of was).

- tombert 5y agoI'm definitely not a protected class (I'm a tall white dude), and I am not being 100% fair; they weren't screaming at me or anything, just an elevated voice and very angry words. I don't believe they said any curse words, and even if they did I was somewhat sympathetic to why they would be upset with me (even though I do stand by the content of what I said). It was probably still unprofessional, but probably not as bad as I made it sound...my bad!
