Rather than "we're short staffed tonight," maybe try "Hey, want to pick up a shift tonight?" The passive aggressive tone kills me lol

The reason the manager didn’t do that is because this is a screenshot of a fake conversation.

I don't believe you, why isn't your username 'manager' then?

Oh no, what happened to Buster?

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 8 points 2 months ago

He got blown up a few times, among other things. I don't think the original survived Mythbusters

I have had similar conversations with managers in the past, this may be staged but it's all too real.

i thought that was obvious. I mean the contact name is "manager"... isn't the point that people wish they would respond like this?

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You've never saved contacts like that?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

not for people I know. it's stupid. it's not like "mom". I'm not putting down relationships that can change at any time.
