Hypothetically speaking, if you were to find another job, what would happen to your current company?
Also, six figure disparities in invoices is probably a bad thing no matter where you are... maybe have that exit plan in place, just in case...

Iirc leaving a job is more involved in most European countries isn’t as easy as the US.

Me? Hmm, nothing special, really. He'd need to find someone to bully, I guess.
And we're lucky our company is under the umbrella of one of the biggest groups of the country to bankroll us, or we would be up a creek without a paddle already.

Misclicks. Sigh.
So anyway, I'm very officially NOT invited to this meeting, because the CEO doesn't want strive/discussion/arguments between management in front of the troops.
Well, I wouldn't have to fight my boss every step of the way if he behaved like a normal human being?
Also, hey, thanks for saying I'm apparently part of "management" now.
Making sure they're cared for when you can't is the opposite of betrayal.
I feel like I've just betrayed my best friend.
I still feel sick about it. But that’s why they left first. New homes were already arranged.
Blizzard pulled my meter and lines outta my house. Insurance "isn't sure" if I'm covered for that, they don't know my deductible since "it's the weekend", and this mysterious contractor they say will def call me has yet to do so. God damn it, I need to know if it's cheaper to hire my own guy or not! The power company says they'll need to shut off my power as well until it's fixed. If the power is off my phone line is basically gone because I get shit all cell phone reception down here.
Basically, I'm super frustrated and fuck insurance companies. 24 hour service my ass.

thats fucking nuts, how is your homeowners insurance NOT covering environmental storm damage!?
Maybe the city or provincial plow did it? That wouldn't be covered by homeowner insurance.
We had a bad blizzard once and I could see our lines hanging across the road and I called both the power and cable companies to tell them and then I called the city to warn them about it because after dark there would be no way for them to see it.
An hour later, after dark....the city truck drove into and ripped the line off and dragged it with them for a while.
Good times.
I hope that they can help you tomorrow and that someone with a clue calls you back.

Holy fucking fucker of fucks.
So, one of my eployees called in sick last Thursday. He was scheduled to work tonight - the night shift. I was on holiday, the sick call was taken by my boss.
Guess who didn't bother to alert anyone or to seek a replacement for this night? Yeah, you guessed it. And guess who was told on Monday at 10 am "oh hey, you fix this"?
So I get the fun part of calling all my people "hey, can you come in to work tonight for a full night shift?" - and all of their responses have been "why are you only calling now? We all knew he was sick since last week! Since I didn't get a call I assumed you found another solution, sorry, no can do!"
I finally found a solution, but man I was already pretty sure I was going to have a 22hour shift ahead of me. Guy saved my butt.

Dang. They really don't mess around if they suspect you of cheating in WoW.
FTFY
If I had time, and it wasn’t already a 6 year old machine, and I wasn’t already planning on replacing it within the next year (mostly because Apple should stop supporting it after high Sierra).
However, the deadline for this project is tomorrow, so I spent a lot of money at the local Apple store to get a machine that will hopefully last me for 6 more years.
It’s just painful. There’s never a good time for a computer to die.
I’ll decide later whether to pursue a repair and turn it into a kids computer.
Man. I need to find someone willing to work tonight, and all htree next nights of the weekend, 12h shifts. Someone is seriously and actively sabotaging not just my job, but the company. We'll get through this - somehow - but heads will fucking roll.
My boss is pissed planning duties were transferred to me. He fell sick when I asked him about vacations and off days for January. I made a shift schedule, everyone signed off on it, sent it out...Got called out for one shift for his little buddy he didn't want to do. Solved that...Now his buddy is out sick, too. And he was scheduled to wrok the night shift all weekend. And 4 more shifts during the two weeks to come. With two other people out after a surgery, one leaving the company the 31st, and one on paternity leave, I'm completely out of options.
Fuck him, fuck his minion, and fuck it all. I'll probably be working Christmas night if I can't find another solution.
I've had it up to....you know, you can't seem e but guess where I'm ponting, here with all this shit. Things will change and get better or I'm out - and that's also the message I'm going to give the CEO. My boss wants to actively sabotage me and is taking the whole company down along with it. I'm willing to put up with a lot but it's really coming to a head now.
Also, I'm stressed way the fuck out.

It has what was, at the time, a reasonably high end discrete graphics chip. I did my first OpenCL programming on it, and it was that project that paid for that laptop in the first place. The final project didn't use OpenCL, but it was something I had to test for the client.
That said, they didn't drop any models between Sierra and High Sierra. Supports some 2009 models as well. I'm pretty sure the next revision of OSX would drop it, though.
Hah! Yes, the "other" manager who put the feather on his hat.
I mean, yes, I probably scored some goodwill, too, but he got the praise. Because I still haven't quite mastered the whole "standing up for myself without looking like an asshole"thing.
My honest recommendation is to stand up for yourself and not worry about coming off like an asshole. The smoother delivery will come with practice, and ruffling some feathers in the mean time is better than getting treated like a doormat.
I got to spend Christmas with my parents. Everything was going fine. Dad is 89, still getting around well. He has not used his cane or walker in many weeks. Says that he is feeling better... Then last night Mom told me that their in home nurse said that they really need to think about finding a hospice for him soon.
Oh God that was such a whiplash moment.
