Rant Thread

[Satisfoxy]

Hello ladies and gentleman, I am making a rant thread because when I get fired from this hell which has been my work of 10+ years I want to make it easy to write a book. I am completely hidden and will be leaving out any key details as to keep myself and my "co-workers" anonymous in my starting rant. Only recently did my boss change and only then did the work environment become toxic. I already have a plan to leave the company, but I want to see how long I can piss them off before they realize the reason I'm not falling victim to their petty BS is because I have nothing to fear.
 

A few weeks ago I had a very disturbed end-user get assigned to me as a ticket to fix their broken computer hardware. They were very adamant in calling and texting me multiple times throughout the day to let me know that they were very concerned about losing their data. I unlike most of my lovely co-workers always swap the drive out of any user's computer with another one, so I never have the headache of lost data. However end-users know that most of the techs will simply work on it, if it breaks, wipe it and if they complain tell them "Should of backed up your data" without a mention of how that is done on our network in the first place. I instruct the user to drop off the laptop at our location and hand their computer with a note with all their contact information attached to the device to the guard at our location. I return to my desk after working in the back for a few hours and go to the guard to check if the device has been received. The guard says "No" and asks me all the basic questions in-which I give them. I contact the user with the address and photo of the building to confirm they went to the right place which they very adamantly reply yes. The guard waits for the other guard to get back to ask them if they saw this person and replies with no. They tell me they reviewed the camera footage to find that at the time the user said they dropped off the device no one showed up in the parking lot or the buildings door. By this time my narcissist boss catches their noisy ear to the only part of the situation they cared about. "A device is missing." Since bossman is not the type of person to actually hear the situation in full, he just jumps to the conclusion that I must of done something wrong. After they berate me like they always do, to give you an example. (Ex. Sending an email to one of their underlings to tell me in person that I need to get something big done by Friday. To which they confront me on Friday after they have clearly noticed I wasn't doing the thing and says "Why isn't this done?" to which I reply with "No one told me?" and to then reply "Well you should've known I sent "an email.""

This is the juicy part. After my boss is done wasting air, the guard is holding the missing computer in their hands and says. "You should know you aren't supposed to have people drop off computers at our desk." which I reply with "No one informed me of this? Does it not seem logical if I am not here to leave a computer with someone in charge of security of the building?" He proceeds to turn red in the face and before they say anything my boss stops them and says "You're completely right, no need to say anything" to which they turn to me. "You should of known not to do that." bossman says in the typical "I'm better than you and know everything" tone of voice. I reply with "Let me get this straight, the guard wasted 4 hours of my paid time to teach me a lessen when he could of just handed me the laptop in the first place and said nicely "A person dropped off a computer for you, I am bringing this to you because I'm sure you didn't know but "You must be here when people drop off devices. Please make sure you adhere to this rule next time." but you rather side with him because if you agree with me, it makes YOU look bad because you didn't know the rule either?" Bossman replies with "You could of came up to my office and asked how you should handle the delivery of the laptop." and I reply "The office you keep the door shut until closing and get super angry at anyone that knocks or opens the door of?"
