I hate hate hate these people. I have so many of them in my life and they are so stressful to be around. Always talking about how hard they work and bitching that no one works as hard as they do, always making you feel lazy for wanting to have a goddamn life. I swear this type of bootlicking coworker is one of the biggest roadblocks to better working conditions. I know, I know, worker solidarity and all that but damn it's hard not to want to scream at them to fuck off sometimes.

This reminds me of my uncle. They almost died in an oil field explosion, and shortly after getting bandaged up they were forced to leave the conference room so the suits could use it for a meeting. When I told him that those guys didn't care about his wellbeing at all and wouldn't have lost a bit of sleep if he died, it was like he never considered the thought.
He has a lot of stories like that from a few different construction or oil jobs. He worked hard his whole life, and is still scraping by while the assholes that almost killed him are retired and living at The Villages.
