I would have reverse-fired my future ex-boss. 'Monday? That was my day off after working 80 hours this week-end (I spent this day off doing research obviously). I was there on Sunday at 3:00 AM and couldn't see you so I took the liberty of making you redundant'

I hope this is Ken Chang or what's his name.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

It's not Ken anything. It's some British guy named Jack Frimston.

I think it's up to you to decide whether or not this is supposed to be satirical. I'm on the side of thinking it's not.

[–] ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Considering the name is censored, doubt it

I love how far he leans into the satire.

Here's the problem: my posts are not satire. Groundbreaking philosophy can sometimes feel like satire because it is so avant-garde and interesting.

What's next? I have to sit at the back of the bus because those are the "Satire Seats"? My children have to go to the specific "Satire School"? This is segregation at its finest.

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.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. Sometimes pay isn't worth the toxic environment.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

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.

My employer used to be reasonable. Now after having the office moved to another county they are expecting me to just switch from remote to hybrid working starting Monday morning.

I am not doing it. But feeling quite a bit of anxiety over the situation as I don't really know what is going to happen. I hope a lot of people refuse to but I don't know if they are. I do know that a lot don't want to.

We switched from 2 days in office to 3, which was annoying, but not my boss' fault, that came straight from the CEO. My boss does a good job fighting for us, and we enjoy a good amount of autonomy from the rest of the bs that goes on in the company.

Everyone has their line. Mine has been max 3 days in office for years now, but maybe yours is full remote. Once you hear that your line will be crossed, start looking immediately and push back once you feel you have a good backup plan.

Did he dodge a bullet? Yes

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For $20-30/hr? Unless it's a 6 figures never expect this effort from anything.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 20 points 3 days ago (27 children)

Figures don’t matter. If your pay comes with a check stub, you do your job, and then go home.

why is this censored

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No one is this stupid, but he might be dumb enough to lie about being this stupid

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No one is this stupid

My guy, 77 million people voted for Donald Trump for a second term.

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago

And a fair other similar amount did not vote and let him be.
