My employee came for his pay check. I fired him on the spot. I don't respect people who only work for money.

My employee kept trying to take time off to attend his brothers wedding. Mom and I were distraught for months. We were his family now, and our only work son would betray us like this?

"I wanted my employee to do something I didn't ask for so I fired them when they did exactly what I asked."

Linkedin has become 4Chan it seems

[–] Coolkat@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oooh i like that idea. Reading the posts like greentext makes so much more sense.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Except there are people actually this stupid and crazy. We need a new word for that. Stupsane?

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That won't do. Everyone knows gods protect fools, and madness is practically a subset of traditional divinity. Lumping these people in with insane idiots is very disrespectful.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

LOL imagine believing that gods are real and not just a desperate attempt by fearful monkeys to make sense of a random and indifferent universe. Or believing that Eris isn't there to cancel that shit out.

You know this is why nobody likes us atheists, right?

Okay. Then how about... "MBA"?

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.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And have to go through three months of "yeah, remember? he's the idiot that came in a day early?

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago

yeah, the office in joke

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

why is this censored

[–] staph@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

And then everybody in the office clapped.

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 62 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Why censore the account name? They put it out publicly to be shared.

It applies everywhere

[–] Baked86@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago

Why is it blurred? I don't get why people try protect scummy companies.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 288 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 66 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.
