My employee came for his pay check. I fired him on the spot. I don't respect people who only work for money.
job requirement:
- mind reading
Lol fucking what
Linkedin has become 4Chan it seems
And then everybody in the office clapped.
the reason i know this is fake: that didn't happen and people don't generally start new jobs on tuesday.
Poe's law applies here.
Yeah, show up a day early to your office job, and find out that they don't have the system set-up for you to be there. Then go home, while everyone there thinks you got the start day wrong.
Why censore the account name? They put it out publicly to be shared.
To avoid dogpiling and harassment.
Seems like something they need in their lives. They need to learn perspective.
They also need to stop lying on the internet about things that definitely didn't happen.
A publicly made comment, like tgat one, if not paradoy, should be harrased
They never said it shouldn't happen, they were providing a potential explanation.
But what if tehy sue?
Sue for what? Public backlash???
So?
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.
No, this was firing for not showing up on a non working day
No this is what he DID. What you said is what he DIDN'T do. If a judge asked what did the employee do. He would have to confess that the guy showed up early for work. He didn't actively DO anything to get fired.That's my point.
No, this was firing someone for not showing up before the day they were told to start.
Depending on where this person is, as long as they weren't fired for something like their race, or religion, it is legal.
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...
Unhand my RESUMEEEEEE
With processed ham?
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
That's assuming there is an HR and he is not one of those insane startup tech/fin-tech/app CEO bros. Still rage bait but there is enough truth to be rage bait.
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.
Not that this actually happened of course, but if somebody genuinely worked like that, you wouldn't want to work for them.
You'd probably end up stabbing them in the eye with a rusty fork, and no one would blame you.
