It feels anecdotal, but I felt like I had a voodoo doll for my last manager. He was a nice enough guy but just hyper and careless. So he would do stuff all the time without thinking about what came next. I would see him on my commute sometimes following close behind other cars, speeding to red lights and such. Said to my coworker, ‘He is going to not be here one day because he got in a car accident.’ A few weeks later and he is out because he totalled his car into the back of another car. Another time the company was cheaping out on hiring someone to replace lightbulbs and he was like, I’ll just change them myself! I said, “you need insurance to do stuff like that in an office, thousands of people fall off ladders every year” A few weeks later he was out for days, found out he fell off a ladder at his house. I didn’t cause these things to happen, but I stopped vocalizing what I was predicting. As the wise Michael Scott once said, “I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.”
