(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I also have the Monoprice ones (purchased 1.5 years ago, not sure if it has changed).  I have two.  No issues with either.

I did have an issue like what you describe though, and it was from having too much lint and junk built up in the jack.  The plug was not making a good connection.  After cleaning it out with a tooth pick it solved the issue entirely.  Maybe give that a shot if you haven't already.

That's the thing, my apple cables fit perfect! I've never had an issue with those. And I regularly clean my phone since work creates a ton of dust. So I figured it was the cable and not the port. I clean the port with a toothpick from time to time. So I'm gonna give Monoprice a shot now.

Had a miserable weekend. Got a stomach infection from bad home brew on Saturday night, which caused dehydration and skewed eating schedule. Which set off a chain of 7 migraines over a 36 hour period. The worst it's ever been in my life.

:( migraines are the absolute worst! The most pain I've been in in my life, was a 4 month period of constant migraines. No fun. Feel better!

Yeah I definitely would, if they are willing to do something like that it's probably the start of getting f'ed over in many other ways.

I concur, it would show a strong message to upper management that you are devoted to your job.  Either that or challenge one of your bosses in single combat to the death.
