Nah. Coworker gave his two week notice today after being out for 2.5 months (and only actually being in the office for like 3 weeks after being hired) and my boss is a lunatic with no management or communication skills. I've been told a "moral lesson" of going ahead of schedule being a bad thing too many times to count.

Definitely gonna be finding a new job soon. But for now, it pays the bills and I have other stuff to keep my mind off it when I'm not here.

> I've been told a "moral lesson" of going ahead of schedule being a bad thing too many times to count. What the fuck could be bad about going ahead of schedule?
Once you get ahead of schedule, there will magically be more work to do that you didn't anticipate before.

It's not that it's bad for the company, it's bad for the employee who runs themselves ragged to beat a schedule that wasn't meant to be beaten.

Beats me, boss also loves to say that we don't have enough time. Woohoo!
