Couldn't be me; I think they're cool as hell for chilling out on their phone and ignoring the boss. Shit lets me slack off more too. Uncritical support to the younger generations in their fight against capitalist norms.
Our apprentice got told he had to get his act together by our deputy head of department and replied “no I don’t”.
Sorry….what does this meme mean?
It's
but roblox, it looks like

That apprentice is cooler than most of us
lmao, what a king.
my closest brush with being that cool was approaching the end of a lunch break with a bunch of my younger subordinates. we were all half dozing in the shade on a hot sunny day.
assistant to the big boss comes over at like 1 minute to go and starts in with his clipped "ok guys lets get back on our feet" and i sat up and said, "fine, i have to take a shit anyway".
i wasn't even trying to be funny, just irriated and mouthy. but some of the guys told me later that summer that they were still laughing about it.
it was a one-off seasonal contract job and i wasn't trying to come back, unlike most of the people there, so i had a little extra spine towards the petty tyrants.
I had one kid ask me to get him forklift certified, and when we were done he was like "okay FYI I just asked you to do this because I just applied for a forklift operator role at another company and said I was already certified. Sorry if that was a dick move."
And I was like, "Ha! No, whatever dude get that bag. Fuck put me down as a reference."
bro actually upskilled for free and hasn't been tainted by the fake 'loyalty' of the corporate world and pressure of unreciprocated duty
the kids are alright
