Greedy, egomaniacal white collar assholes are the ones who have done the

dog
before he turns around and bites you.

I have to admit, you have a point.
My wife works for a large corporation, and the stories she tells me
about goal setting by the executives is that they will not commit to any
objective/goal unless they are absolutely certain it will be obtained.
This so as not to jepardize their bonuses.

Bonuses typically have nothing to do with meeting project goals, or with
achieving a goal versus reaching 98% of it.

In this company it does.
It also makes a difference in the support a manager receives if a
project is not one of their VP's individual goals.

There were so many projects I would have loved to decline when I was in the
situation!!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

Yep. Here's me. One of them slacker postal workers, who now at age 52 has
a
blown disk and nothing but bull**** from management about it. Still trying
to pull my weight without ****ing it up any more than it is.

So how many hours,minutes,seconds do you have left? That is if you don't
"GO POSTAL" and shoot up your shop.

Don't know since I have young kids. But however much time I have left, it's
too much. Just trying to make it with no more damage.

I'm in the same boat, but I'm a teacher.

My second operation, a fusion of L 4-5, was not very successful in taking
the pain away, but did stabilize it. I now think I have blown out the next
disk above it.

It is all I can do, to make it through the school day, come home and take
pain pills, and lay still until at least 7 PM. After that, I can get some
supper, and move around a little.

It has gotten so bad, I don't think I will be able to do OSH, this year. I
wouldn't be surprised if I am under the knife, by then.

14 years in the retirement system, and an impossible number to go, before
retirement and/or disability.

Hang in there, man. The only ones who can fully know your pain, are the
ones like us that have it.
