So I've been really Ill the past few days, like litterly been in bed for two days, popping pills like there going out of fashion. I contact work and get the typical "get well soon" so I get a message today asking how I'm doing (still Ill), I said I'll be back Monday and ask if anything is urgent that needs to be done first thing. So I get a list:

Project A: Deadline Monday
Project B: final review Tuesday
Project C: Still waiting on feedback

So I ask any chance we can extend the deadlines by a day or so I have enough time to catch up even though I'm going to have to rush it as I've been off.

Answer.. nope there non negotiable.. oh

So they want basically three days work done in one day, given the fact I still might not be 100%. Jesus Christ 😂

Quick Edit, I wasn't told there were deadlines.

    @CoffeeNcode we have another dev that's more backend but does a bit of front-end as well, but if a project gets given to you it's your project that's just how the company works.

    @HolyTeabags @CoffeeNcode I hardly ever get told when deadlines are I just build what they need built, handle the feedback and ship it.

    @CoffeeNcode exactly but apparently there non negotiable, I have a call some point next week regarding some issues with a designer who cries wolf at the slight hint of sarcasm and apparently me being rude (I wasn't) so I think there's a target on my back anyway. I'll have to see what happens. If I do get fired or whatever then there's one hell of a rant coming devRants way with screenshots on blast haha. Also it doesn't help with the owner being oversensitive jumping to conclusions on a screenshot of text without full context.

    So yeah this is going to be fun overall.

    @HolyTeabags @HolyTeabags Not to mention it will mostly likely come under unfair dismissal.

    @CoffeeNcode I have everything laid out with screenshots to back me up. Not to mention the owner restricting my freedom of speech but that's for another time haha I'll record the call anyways. Apparently I've been told no-one is trying to get me fired but that's not how it looks. If you do have to read it... bring popcorn 😂. Thanks 🤗

    I've seen enough "non-negotiable" deadlines pass without triggering the apocalypse.

    @rutee07 given some of the communications I've had internally, externally they act professional, internally not so much.
