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."

Linkedin has become 4Chan it seems

Oooh i like that idea. Reading the posts like greentext makes so much more sense.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Except there are people actually this stupid and crazy. We need a new word for that. Stupsane?

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Okay. Then how about... "MBA"?

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.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 12 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And have to go through three months of "yeah, remember? he's the idiot that came in a day early?

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

yeah, the office in joke

[–] staph@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

And then everybody in the office clapped.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (7 children)

the reason i know this is fake: that didn't happen and people don't generally start new jobs on tuesday.
