My brother has a need to be you are dead to me mad at someone, when our Father died (that he did not speak to the last 10 years of his life) he transferred the hate to me.
He refuses to interact, he ignored my birthday in May. I'm available but not going to chase him.
As an aside, as I said he literally said dad is dead to me over 10 years ago, I was set to deal with helping mom when he died, my brother swooped in a month prior and took over. My mom wanted peace so I let it go. He ended up with control of everything including his son getting dad's car and he is mad at me for demanding access and the ability to have an overview of where mom's money goes (which I have)
Part of his anger was he thought I was slacking (as I said he jumped in and took over) I was unwilling to be his unpaid poorly treated employee.
In the end I alone moved her out of her house, into mine, put her stuff in storage and drove her from Laveen to Santa Monica.
I am sad and think it's ironically funny he is the angry one.
I hope he is happy and am fine not seeing him until moms funeral, hopefully in 30 years (she would be 117)
I find it to be the same case with my dad and his brothers. and know of another gentlemen who won't speak to his brother due to death in the family/money issues as well.
feels like money destroys all things.
I need to preface this with I am not mad, I am more sad and disappointed.
My brother thinks his shit does not stink. He married well, was a house husband stay home dad that raised his son the first 12 years and then his wife left her high powered Hollywood job and they started a company which is doing very well.
He thinks he is a huge success although he was "born" on third base.
I'm happy for him. I was fine giving the kid the 2014 Fusion (I sure as hell did not want it) especially since it is parrot shit metallic green. (dad was color blind thought green was blue)
He actually responded thanks, so maybe he is thawing.
The New CIO is making tons of changes, most long time needed but some just plain stupid.
For example, we have virtually no one in the office but there are a few. Each tech had a cubicle and an area to work on hardware. This allows them to be at their computer & phone while working on systems.
He ripped out the cubes & mashed 5 desks together in the middle of the room and used two of the cubes minus their walls to form a "work area"
The building was built in 1982 and that is when 99% of our furniture was purchased.
The new boss is micromanaging while claiming he wants us to autonomously perform our tasks. He has taken tasks away from those that have been doing them well for years and is making them do new tasks. He has a mandate that we all need to learn each other's roles so we can lose people and not miss tasks.
I work for a "non profit" that profits hugely and is as cheap as cheap can be. Sheep that work here have not had a raise in 15 years. (I'm not one of them)
Those are newer desks they dragged in from HR that is perma WFH.
That seems horrible.
I share an office with out hardware/infrastructure guy, but we got along fine. Been co-officed for something like 4-5 years.
Hated cube-life.
