The son with the same mustache and glasses is peak comedy. That got me good.

Did you just assume the kids gender? /s

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 day ago

Lmao, now the thought of that being his daughter is making it more funny.

There is no gender, only HR

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593

Aeroflot Flight 593 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Sheremetyevo International Airport, Moscow, Russia, to Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. On 23 March 1994, the aircraft operating the route, an Airbus A310-304 flown by Aeroflot, crashed into the Kuznetsk Alatau mountain range in Kemerovo Oblast, killing all 63 passengers and 12 crew members on board.

Cockpit voice and flight data recorders revealed the presence of the relief captain's teenaged children in the cockpit at the time of the accident.[1] While seated at the controls, the pilot's 15-year-old son had unknowingly partially disengaged the A310's autopilot control of the aircraft's ailerons.

We did it almost every year at my previous job. They had activities for the kids, related to our industry of course.

I think I did take your child to work day once with my parents. Father's job was too dangerous so we went to mother's job.

At the school.

We went to.

We already knew and saw what mother did for a living lol.

I don't know about now, but "back in the day" I went to work with my Dad for one of these and vomited on his cubicle neighbor's keyboard. Good times.

We (in Germany) had a day where we were supposed to join one parent at work and yes, German has a word for it: Schnupperpraktikum (literally snuff internship)

It was in the year (8th grade I think) where we did a student internship and beforehand he did a one day internship at one parent.

Now that I'm in the workforce, it happens that colleagues bring their kids to office during holidays or preschool kids but we don't have a day for that.

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

They have something like that quite a bit around where I live, but it's specifically "Take your daughters to work day".

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Ooh, like in portal!

It took me far too long to realise that the assistant manager was the managers kid in training.

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Both were still named Bob... Oddly enough. Completely understandable confusion.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

That just fucking wrong. Makes me angry and sad.
