"I am Jack's raging bile duct"
I just do not how to deal with this. I could absolutely punk my boss on this, and my boss' boss too. Machiavellian princes the both of them. Ultimately it would cost me my job, but that is not that big of a deal, I was looking for a job when I found this one. Of course that was 18 years ago, but I know I will never starve. It is inhuman to let these people go at the height of their vulnerability. I feel like a baby bird chipping its way out of its shell, the struggle is mighty, but the rewards are great.
