Found out the lawyer I thought he got, was actually the prosecuting attorney. So he didn't actually get himself a lawyer. So, maybe I have a better chance.

What exactly is he hoping for here? I mean he's already cost you your job over a thrown piece of paper of all things. I mean what's the end game? I think whatever your representation is should be asking those questions of him, and just essentially embarrass him in the court. I suspect if you play up the utter absurdity of it all the judge will throw it out and reprimand him for wasting the court's time.
I'm hoping for a sane judge that will throw it out immediately.
The police never charged you with assault did they? If they didn't then I doubt any judge is going to either. You could probably file a suit for unfair dismissal from the firm, though whether you want the hassle is another factor entirely.
Arraignment over. They offered me a plea deal of no jail, 6 months probation and court costs. I laughed. Pre-trial conference set for May 2nd.

JFC. Jail for touching someone with a piece of paper? What kind of fucked up society has America become?
To be fair, I swung it hard.
The prosecutor is just a money generator for the state. They want me to just give up and take the plea, pay the court costs, get probation, pay them, then pay the court mandated costs for drug testing, etc...

Somehow I missed all of your drama, @and 3 others . From what I've read, his case seems paper thin.
That confuses me. Was this a roll of paper?
So this is going to a trial with a jury? Or just a judge? Will get you a court-appointed Attorney at all?

Well, technically a baseball bat is just paper in a different form.

Being middle management and getting it from all directions, I want people to know something.
The laws and rules don't set you all up right. The truth is that it's harder to let go or remove bad employees than it is to reward good employees. This causes many problems. At best, I can protect good employees and not protect bad employees.
There is some severe incompetence higher up as well. And incompetence doesn't promote competence because that's a threat. This is just one example of how things are not set up to reward good employees. I probably only got promoted because the higher ups were out with COVID and I'm off the spectrum statistically, which creates dependence upon what I do. . There's always someone being squeezed a hair above you.
It's just bothersome to me that I know how much weight an employee pulls but some other part of the structure is after them to protect their ass.

I'm exhausted…. I leave for Mexico this weekend and don't have to think about work for a week. It's a long over due break that is sorely needed. I can't wait to smoke cigars on the beach.
When I get back I jump straight in to my first major production rollout which will effect every single endpoint in our environment. I feel some massive imposter syndrome and have lost a lot of sleep lately worrying about everything. I'm leading the rollout myself and responsible for everything. Current system that we are upgrading has been rock solid for so long and I worry I could be introducing some instability. The future benefits that come with the upgrade are worth it and I feel like I have done my due diligence but I still can't help but stress.
Another environment that I've been building out has had a major roadblock for months which I have been bashing my head against a wall to figure out. I've spent hours building out different auth methods to get around the issue but none of the workarounds have been what I am looking for. This issue has caused me to miss a few soft deadlines. Looks like today the company finally introduced a fix that has resolved the issue that's been plaguing me. Apparently they have known about it for several years but just now got around to fixing the issue.
This is a massive win as it lets me continue with another rollout soon as the first is done….. shit is nerve racking.

After watching the Starship launch today I feel like a little bitch for stressing. My rollouts are nothing compared to what the greats out there are doing. Time to put my big boy pants on and stop being a pussy.
I am now currently working at this aforementioned gas station. It's a menial job, but it'll keep the lights on for the immediate future while I sort out what my future career plans will be. The only benefit is I live 3 city blocks from it.
We do what we gotta do. I've done call centre crap to keep the lights on before. Good man having the balls to do it.
My motto is there's no job that's beneath me. My parents started with menial jobs and ended up multimillionaires. The only reason I'm in my current career is that I started as a security guard with night shifts as a teenager. Don't do what you love, love what you do is a better way to see things. I lost everything 3 times in life and had to restart over each time in different cities.
Absolutely this. Even things you love doing will eventually drive you insane. Money however is very handy. Hard work can get you up there from zero. 12 years ago I was homeless and unemployed and I now have a decent house, decent car and earn in the top 6% in the uk. Lots of shit jobs along the way and I got turned down by subway and McDonald's, but even after going that low it's possible to do it.

Reading these posts, I've dealt with many of the feelings and situations.
What I've had the hardest part dealing with is differentiating between envy and a biased/rigged system. It bothers me to read your stories of hard work and struggle but then look around and see TONS of people doing just fine rigging the system, not working or working very little. Or is that my envy?
It's my fault for choosing a career path that has a low earning ceiling but I constantly find myself looking around saying "How the fuck is that fucking dunce doing so well for doing so little?". Eh, I don't know.

Trial is set for mid July. This will be fun.
My boss keeps calling me Dexter. He says he doesn't know how many people I killed but he supports me because it was surely for a good cause. Like what in the fucking fuck is this an actual work discussion. I can't even injure a spider.
Don't worry, nobody would have been paying attention anyway. I swear on most meetings everyone's just playing computer games.
No, seems to be the case for TaySan though.Worked my ass off today. a few more weeks and i'm done
