American Airlines is next. Buy now, moons next week. Do your future self a favor.

Next target should be American Airlines (AAL). Get in now, it’s mooning next week. This is a legit insider rumor.

Anon you are missing a big part, they need to pay at least 60k for the contractors to find the best equipment for them and set it up in their homes. If anything they were thinking of the tax dollars and were being stingy with the amount they gave themselves.

What is this? Empathy and a sense of justice? Get out! Only autists and sociopaths allowed on this website!

Do you believe that you should be acting what your wage / salary / position is? Maybe that doesn't make sense, but I'll explain.

I work in a department in a fairly large organization. I'm considered management in my department make a pretty sub average salary from /biz/ standards (About $56K / yr, full benefits). I report to a director who makes a bit over $400K a year.

Sometimes the director has some issues or is made aware of issues and he asks me to notify the appropriate departments (IT, Facilities, etc.). Many times, they are things that I could easily solve myself with just a few minutes of time so I just do it myself. One time he had an issue with his computer and asked me to call IT to fix it while he was out to lunch. It was something fairly easy, so I just start fixing it on my own.

He cut his lunch early and came back to me sitting at his desk and asking me what I was doing. I told him it was pretty easy and just fixed it since IT takes a while to get here. He thanked me, but told me that I shouldn't be doing that because that's not what my position or salary entail. Even if it would have taken them hours to address it, it's not my problem, nor his. It's IT's problem. He asked me if I did this for anyone else, and yes, I told him that I do help staff with really easy stuff (like literally low level stuff like unjamming a printer or some inane computer issue) and he told me to just stop doing that and that he doesn't want to catch me doing that again and that it's not what he hired me for. "You are management and you need to act accordingly".

I haven't helped anyone in awhile and now I just contact the appropriate departments for any issues. It seems kind of lame when I see a really simple fix that ends up getting delayed for hours on end, but the Director was pretty adamant when he told me not to get involved. Am I just being naive?
