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?
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
“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
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.
Poe’s law applies here.
It applies everywhere
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.
Starting day is whatever the first working day of the month is.
wut. really? is that an american thing?
nope. That’s the way it works in Germany.
What’s the other option?
starting on monday?
Idk that may work for retail, or corporate if you’re unemployed. Otherwise I’d suspect something is off with the company/job if they’re asking me to stay in Monday. Even if you’re not giving a two week notice, it’s usually easier for everyone to set a date, and the 1st day or the 15th works better for payroll.
I started my current job on the 13th… Of September in fact, It’ll be 4 years…
why is this censored

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
Yep exactly
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.
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
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?
Oof, a solo cubical. Haven’t had one of those in like 8 years.
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?!
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.
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.
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.
yeah it honestly makes sense considering that what most job interviews are measuring is the candidate’s willingness to humiliate themselves for the boss
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 🐸
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.
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.
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.
If the agreement says to come in on Tuesday, you’re arguably trespassing when you force your way in in Monday.
It’s called dedication
“Yes, I broke in the office at 4AM in a Sunday but that was only because I’m DEDICATED”
