Why is it blurred? I don't get why people try protect scummy companies.
Gotta love the fake power trip stories on LinkedIn. Cringe fest.
Exactly. I'm not a lawyer but I struggle to find the legality of firing someone for showing up early for work. What nonsense.
I hired a new employee to start on Tuesday
He came in on Monday
I fired him on the spot
Can't follow simple fucking instructions
I hired a guy to start on Monday. He showed up at 8:45.
No Bueno buster, you were expected at exactly midnight because that's when fuckin Monday starts.
This is toxicity manifest.
And not even a succulent Chinese meal to compensate...
With processed ham?
Unhand my RESUMEEEEEE
It's also a made-up story to make people think the poster is HUSTLE PRIME
Sounds like the employee dodged a bullet there.
Wood chippers for all the bosses.
Would have, if it were real. Hiring people is a bitch. You don't ditch people because they're not psychic psychos.
Yeah. HR would have thrown him out with the new hire if they actually did this
Why is the name censored? This is someone who wanted to post it public with their face attached. Let them. It's not like it's a private Facebook group.
I feel like self-censoring is the fad this part of this decade. Everyone's afraid for some reason. It's all blur this, black out that, I've even noticed police bodycam footage and news footage bleeping out curses and public information. People are more concerned with their "content" going viral than disseminating the honest information.
We need to say fuck twice for every fuck they don't say.
I'll fucking drink to that. I mean, it's 0700 but... Fuck.
Reddit tendrils
It's not just reddit. Not by a longshot. unalive is a ticktok invention, for example.
Reminds me of the Team Fortress 2 Expiration Date animation.
Spy: Final Question... You have a dinner date for seven... what time do you arrive?
Scout: Seven. A.M. Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not, I gotta kill him. Dispose of the body, replace him with my own guy no later than 4:30...
Spy: You're ready.
Scout: Really?
Spy: No. Everything you just said was insane... and, we are out of time. Congratulations. You're a failure.
This is a troll
Yeah, this really seems like it's satire. If someone hadn't blurred out the name, we would... Hold on.
A quick Google search yielded results.
Feels to me like the lunatic's fantasy. Like, the guy really wishes he could do it, but realizes he doesn't have the power to actually go through with it. So he makes up these fantasies to make himself feel better and to try and garner some clout with his fellow lunatics.
Maybe. But it is satire by holding a mirror on power tripping, clout chasing LinkedIn influencers. That's like accusing the South Park creators of secretly wanting to swim in piss in a piss park, or secretly wanting to get into orgy with Satan, Saddam, Trump and Laura Loomer.

What an absolute piece of shit coming in 15 minutes early on your scheduled start date.
I know this is sarcasm but the point of the lunatic was that he wanted them to come on Monday, a full day before.
Yeah. I would have fired them on the spot.
Why?
Because if they came early it means that they not busy enough in their own life.
If life's not a one big hustle for you, you are not even trying.
(/s just incase)
This reads like it came straight off of linked in. Perfection.

I once had a conversation with a dude in the waiting room at the doctor's clinic. He said he purposely delayed in-person interviews for up to an hour sometimes so he can "judge" how the applicant reacts and show their dedication to getting the job. I pretty much stopped engaging after he said that. Fortunately I was called up shortly.
I was a naive young lad desperately looking for internship. I was waiting for one hour for an interview and then the hiring manager is a short lady with a stern face came to get me. I thought the interview was simple and easy enough but I didn't get the job. Looking back, it was a power tripping move. However, I probably dodged a bullet because I heard from a colleague in my previous company that the company I tried to get internship in is toxic. The employees there have been working there for twenty years and stick to each other, not talking to new people. It is an old boy's club basically.
Always tell these people that they’re despicable to their face. It’s the only way to change their toxic culture.

So he's pissing off all the great candidates who have better options.
Seems that he is confusing desperation for dedication. The only people who are going to wait for an hour are those who have no other choice.
It seems to me that he is really testing their ability to put up with his bullshit more than anything. One of my biggest pet peeves professionally is respect for the time of others.
Wow, that's terrible. If I'm not there 5 min early to perform your interview, I'll apologize. Being on-time to something like that just invites time-wasting things like kicking the previous group out of the interview room or whatever.
An interview should be a 2-way deal, I'm representing the company and trying to find a good fit for the role, and you're trying to decide whether the company is a good fit for you. If I'm late to an interview, I expect any self-respecting candidate to leave after 15 min, and I wouldn't be surprised if they left after 5. I'm the one looking to fill a role, you're just here to see if it suits you, so it's on me to give the good impression IMO.
If the agreement says to come in on Tuesday, you're arguably trespassing when you force your way in in Monday.

Assuming this isnt a parody, odds are good the job is a bog standard 40k a year desk job. Also filtering candidates and finding a suitable one takes many peoples' time, which you are wasting if you have invisible criteria revealed on the persons start date.
Must be sooo nice to work in the US :)
It's a big part of why I stick w/ my company when I know I can get higher pay elsewhere. My boss is actually pretty reasonable and the workload is totally acceptable.
Yeah. Sometimes pay isn't worth the toxic environment.
I would venture to say it never is. I worked in a toxic environment for five years, and it literally made me ill.
My hair started falling out in big handfuls and I had constant digestive problems. I went to a series of doctors and ended up with an endocrinologist who said my thyroid was overactive and might need to be irradiated to stop the problems. Then at my next appointment, it was under-active. It didn't make sense.
I had already been looking for a new job, and I changed jobs after that second appointment. A month later, all of my problems had gone away. It turned out all the havoc in my body was just due to stress.
They could have quadrupled my pay and it still wouldn't have been worth the effects on my health.

Hillariously, I've tried this a few times. Either security wouldn't let me in, or I couldn't clock-in ... no matter what, they didn't pay for the time, or at least not the whole shift.
(vs OOP): Sure, encourage me to realize you aren't worth working for before you have any idea what I can really do.
Showing up a few minutes early to work could make sense, but showing up a day early? WTF? Why would someone possibly tell you to start work on Tuesday unless there was some reason Monday intentionally wouldn't work? I mean ffs, either you won't be in the system, keys aren't ready, your friggin co-workers may not be ready, no desk... And you want to show up a friggin day early and make someone babysit you on top of their regular job?
