#i hope my bosses have their retirements obliterated by their corrupt bullshit

176.a - I hate my job and here's why

I really want out of my job. My bosses are abusive boomer trash. For one, they’re both self-hating. One is a self hating woman as well as a self hating Mexican. The other is a self hating black man. It’s fucking willy wonka bat shittery. Then there’s the issue of I haven’t been given a raise in five fucking years. I got overlooked for two promotions earlier this year. I am disliked by both the VP and the Superintendent because they’re lazy fucking children who spend more time complaining loudly about doing their six figure jobs than actually doing them. And they don’t like getting called out for that - which I do when their lack of doing fucks with my work. Which is more often than I’d like.

My job is = I run software that an entire 800 sqft city based facility depends on. My recent beef is my piece of shit boomer Superintendent boss absolutely refuses to give me administrator rights to the full facility ware AND he doesn’t understand how it works at all. The lack of access and this fundamental lack of understanding has created a recent world of shitty problems for me and our department in that the software is now completely and totally offline - and has been as of writing this for six fucking weeks. I can’t get into it to check maintenances. My trades who do the maintenances can’t get into it to record their work and get their assignments. The city says we are contractually obligated to have this software up and functioning and it’s down. This isn’t the first major fuckup on this system due to my boss, btw. This is just the latest of a line of major fuckups.

Speaking of my scumbag six figure making MAGA loving boomer boss - we are offline and no where close to being up and running because he didn’t understand the software’s vendor split into two entities. I’m not even sure when they did that since I don’t get those emails. He does and doesn’t share that information. But he didn’t know at all - which is infuriating because the software vendor most definitely told him. He also didn’t understand that the software we are running is 8+ years past upgrade. It’s so old that the original vendor’s contract split up sending the “classic” version of the software to a totally different support team. A totally different team than what he just spent $26,000 of the Los Angeles taxpayer’s money on. I tried to explain the vendor split to him when I figured it out back in July this year but he just gaslit me, “Oh yea I talked to them.” Fucking control freak sack of shit.

So what’s transpired here is the dinosaur software my boss refuses to upgrade, despite paying to upgrade two-fucking years ago, is now being outsourced. AND if he wants to continue running the old software in our facility then he needs to pay for the new outsourced vendor to run the classic system. The only problem with this is he’s too proud to admit he is a fuck up. (See boomer things.) He doesn’t want to admit he wasted $26,000 of taxpayer money on the new version of the software that he has spent two-years refusing to implement, for whatever reason. And, btw, I told him back in 2020 that then was the time to upgrade the system and train our teams on it because everything was slow af then. I guess he heard me because he bought the upgrade around then but was probably offended I had the idea and not him? Or he’s just afraid of software in general. I honestly can’t figure out why he would buy the new version, pay for a full migration, pay for departmental training, and just sit on it. He didn’t tell anyone he bought it, too! I only know about it because my friend in the financial dept. showed me the POs.

So the software our facility is dependent on is down. Has been for six weeks due to my boss being afraid of new software and ignoring contractual agreements. Also due to the fact that his boss, the VP of Operations, has her head so far up his ass that I’m not sure if her hair is naturally brown or it’s just shit colored. I have sidelined her and told her the issue briefly but because I am not her equal she honestly can’t be bothered to hear that I have words coming out of my mouth. She would prefer to pretend I’m a potted plant in the office lobby rather than an equal human being. Essentially she just covers up the Superintendent’s fuckups and often knowingly stands by while he lays blame on other teams. As a recent example, the city requires a quarterly report on our software usage. I told my bosses to ask for an extension since the ware is down. They both ignored me and falsified a full ass quarterly report and sent that in, instead. Yea. Corrupt.

Ultimately, this has been a $26,000 fuck up and instead of owning up to the fuck up and telling my company’s CFO that he fucked up - we are now without the software while my boss lies to my equally as shady VP of Operations, the city, and the rest of the staff that “the software’s down because the company fucked the migration up.” A fucking hilarious lie when thinking about how he had me write up and implement a new training session for the new hires on the old software two-days before it completely went down. Especially hilarious because when they asked me to do the training I said, “Why? We’re about to lose the old version any day now.” And they just shrugged, blinked blankly, and walked away.

I am honestly debating telling the CFO everything, thereby nuking my position there fully. I hate my bosses that much.
