Step 3: Profit!

The absolute worst thing about the job is that the marketing and product people never bother to actually fucking plan their shit out. Or, they'll plan it out, but they'll neglect to tell anyone who actually has to implement the plan until the day before. Bastards.

So now Russ has to work until god knows when on a Friday night because the massive mixed-media promotional deal that the company has had in the works for god knows how many months is set to launch, and they only just NOW thought to themselves, "Hmmm, we might actually need some servers for this." Oh come ON! You nitwits have been hyping this promotion as the biggest thing coming for the company for months now, and you only just thought to add server space? My husband (and countless others) gets to work a 16 hour day today because you assholes are too fucking dumb to plan your way out of a walk-in closet.

I feel like I work for a company running the underpants gnomes business plan.
