Being asked to summarize your recent work is "a living hell"?

Have you ever done manual labor for a living? Or worked a service job? Or taken care of a relative who needs round-the-clock care?

Would you really characterize as "summarize the last few months of coding at my software engineering job" as a living hell as compared to those things?

Things like this are always context sensitive or it becomes a race to the bottom where only the people in the worst condition have the right to complain.

You think manual labor is hard, try living in a Ukraine war zone, you think a warzone is bad, try living as a forced prostitute etc.

And according to Dante there are seven circles of hell and if someone t plunges your future into uncertainty it's a valid kind of hell, just not the worst kind.

Have my boss' boss' boss' boss summarize what his teams are up to. Don't call everybody in and glare at them in a small room over the course of weeks like in "Office Space"

I have enough perspective, savings, and self confidence that there's nothing a little prick manager can do at a job that will ruin MY life. But there are a lot of honest, hard-working people out there who just want to do their best and make enough to keep on top of their $7500 mortgage payments and don't need someone putting a boot on their neck
