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.”
job requirement:
- mind reading
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.
And have to go through three months of "yeah, remember? he’s the idiot that came in a day early?
yeah, the office in joke
Lol fucking what
Linkedin has become 4Chan it seems
Oooh i like that idea. Reading the posts like greentext makes so much more sense.
Except there are people actually this stupid and crazy. We need a new word for that. Stupsane?
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.
Okay. Then how about… “MBA”?
Yeah
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?
Yeah but look at all the fucks I give. Just look at em. I gave up trying to use logic to convince religious people ages ago when I realized that their immune to it.
I think it’s already called a Straw Man.
Someone fake that people will attack and ridicule. And then, when pointed out that it’s fake, people will backtrack and say silly things like “there are people actually this stupid and crazy” without an oz of awareness that nearly all their examples of others acting like that are, also, straw men.
That would be valid point if I haven’t literally met people like this. I’m well aware of logical fallacies. Unfortunately reality is incredibly stupid and we all have to live with it.
Why censore the account name? They put it out publicly to be shared.
Many places where content is posted would remove this because it contains “personal information” regardless of it being shared publicly or not.
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???
a meal?! a succulent chinese meal?!
So?
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.
Yep exactly
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 think that in a lot of the US, firing people because you enjoy it is fine. It’s probably a hobby for some people over there.
Generally yes. There are some financial remedies possible in this sort of case if the employee did anything reasonable for the new job. Like, if they quit an old job they wouldn’t otherwise have or moved, they would have a potential case, since there was no actual reason they were immediately fired. If they didn’t already have a job and didn’t move, they’d probably be SOL unless they live in like California.
they’d probably be SOL unless they live in like California
Ah, but then they’d probably have cancer anyway.
No, this was firing for not showing up on a non working day
No, this was firing someone for not showing up before the day they were told to start.
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.
Depending on where this person is, as long as they weren’t fired for something like their race, or religion, it is legal.
What an absolute piece of shit coming in 15 minutes early on your scheduled start date.
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 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.
Oh yeah, definetely, it would be horrible
why is this censored
And then everybody in the office clapped.
Poe’s law applies here.
It applies everywhere
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.
Always tell these people that they’re despicable to their face. It’s the only way to change their toxic culture.
Abusers will try to lash out and I enjoy that 🐸
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.
yeah it honestly makes sense considering that what most job interviews are measuring is the candidate’s willingness to humiliate themselves for the boss
I used to work for someone who would deliberately schedule 5 or 6 people for an interview on the same day and time, then sit and talk on the phone for an hour while everyone waited. She acted shocked when people got up and left.
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.
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.
You mean a fast paced environment?
Fucking dream for an office. I just got a table a notebook stand and a monitor. I have to carry the keyboard and mouse with me everywhere.
Shit most places do the “open office” thing where you get a third of this space and less privacy. Everyone can hear everyone’s calls.
And people wonder why employees hate RTO
Eh, I like our open office workspace. Our desks are large, we each get drawers, and if anyone needs to make a call, they go to a breakout room. Navigating cubicles sucks, and separate offices aren’t great either.
That said, I’m a developer, so inviting someone over to my desk to look at something is quite common. We also frequently have impromptu 5-min meetings between rows, and we arrange people so those who will likely need those quick meetings are near each other.
It certainly wouldn’t make sense for a call center or something, but it definitely makes sense for a creative, collaborative environment.
And ironically IIRC, this was the vision of the creator of the concept that managers then perverted into the infamous cubicle: a modular and open collaborative environment.
I mean this is a cubicle not an office, but they don’t even give you a designated desk?
Nope. You have to reserve a table and try to coordinate with your coworkers to reserve close. I like go to the office so people already knows the table I usually reserve, but sometimes someone else take out that table and I end in a different floor where the sun reflects on the neighbor building and blast my face all day.
Wow, that’s awful. We have an open office design, and everyone has an assigned desk. We even have a few spares for our remote employees when they visit.
You got a notebook stand?!
Oof, a solo cubical. Haven’t had one of those in like 8 years.
I swear HR has a rolodex of dumb filler phrases to put into job ads. The kind that are vague enough that nobody can specifically call them out on it later.
That looks like a dynamic fast paced environment, to me.
