Better to just turn around and leave, if you can

  I was called into a meeting like this once to talk about why I got so fucking angry all the time.

  Apparently ‘Stop giving me reasons to get angry’ was not an acceptable explanation.

    I just don’t understand why everybody else doesn’t try not being a stupid asshole.

      Have you tried telling them they’re stupid assholes? Maybe they haven’t realized.

    Sometimes the idea of living alone in the woods in a small shack doesn’t really sound so bad.

  That’s when you get let go. But when HR joined and I said “fuck” it was too late to write me up for it. So I had that going for me!

    What school or church did you work for where you weren’t allowed to curse in private?

    source

    • BallShapedMan@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I wasn’t in private, HR was there. My boss joined shortly after.

  I got sent home for the day because I responded to the wrong email. I clicked on the wrong email and wrote a response that didn’t make any sense.

  I never went back to work again.

    I would have loved for a former employer to try and pull that stunt in my state. All I’d have to do is take that recording/email to any judge and automatically get 3x in damages plus the original amount. You don’t fuck with earned wages in Colorado.

      Same in Florida, and I’d guess most states. Employees don’t know their rights and come into spaces like this bitching. A call to the state labor board and that employer has to produce answers and the employee is automatically right unless they can prove otherwise.

      Nervous and pleased to be recognized for my efforts.

  Call people a “resource” is so on the nose. We’re just another input on their spreadsheet. Something to use and exploit to generate profit for them.

  I’m surprised more people don’t point this out.

  Better have that recording of your boss saying he finds 15-year-olds attractive ready. It will then be a short merting but a significant increase in your salary.

  Or just your boss with a strongly worded lecture accompanied by table pounding.
