Speaking of work killing you. Let's get to some Puppy work drama.
Last summer when I had my little breakdown my boss and I went to dinner and we discussed what could be done. And he was like "Puppy, you just need to chill and draw boundaries. I was hospitalized 3 times a few weeks ago and the doctors said it was all because of stress. So I set some rules. I shut off work at 8pm and create more time for myself, take days off" yada yada yada. Then this quarter (first quarters are always killer in our company as most companies put off big projects until Q2 or later) I start getting texts from him at like 10pm and calls on Saturdays and emails at like 5 in the morning. And I was like "So much for taking it easy." Talking to another director today and they're like "Did you know the boss is back in the hospital?" Not surprised. Poor guy. Don't know why you would own a company to work like he does. He's well beyond the "start up" phase, and is pretty established. This would be the time to sit back and enjoy your success, but the dude's going as hard as ever for more. I couldn't do it.
In other news one of our sales guys really screwed the pooch. He was asking me what I thought he should do. I told him to take it easy and not to worry about it. What I didn't tell him was the reason he shouldn't worry about it was because it would be surprising if he was still with the company next week.
In even further news, my company is by and large Indian (like 80+%) and my boss once said that you'd never find anyone more racist against Indians than other Indians. I shrugged it off as I thought that's true for most races, latinos hate latinos and Bill Cosby hates black people, so I never gave it much thought. Though today I was sitting with some of my Indian coworkers and they started talking about Indians, and holy heck I was taken aback. The stuff they were saying would've put even Trump supporters to shame. That was something.
