Bro I am a manager myself and I dont trust my Manager. These shitty corporate structure are the worst.

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My manager is super nice and I know well that if it helps his career he would shank me in the bathrooms.

I'm pretty sure that this is the most high res version of this meme I've seen to date.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This ones been sitting on someone's hard drive since the early days of the meme, before compression artifacts rotted it.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

That or maybe AI cleanup

There are three things that claim they are family: relatives, work, and The Olive Garden. Out of those things, only one provides unlimited bread sticks. I know which one I'm going with.

[–] SnowBunting@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Can't go wrong with those bread sticks.

Reaply: My mother was abusive and my father left when I was 6. I don't want a family; I want a living wage.

I've never seen an HD version of this picture before.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

The trick is to see the meme early, save it because funni and eternally true, and then much later plumb the archives for good memes to give to Lemmy

[–] _tinker_@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When life gives you lemons, find a new family.

My family sure is stingy with their money lately...

[–] TheObserver@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My bosses boss told me this. I stopped him right there and told him flat out I'm here for a check and that's it. I don't care about anyone here. They all could disappear tomorrow and i wouldn't shed a tear. Didn't like that comment very much 🤣

In the future I recommend lying

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

why? to be a lying boot licker like everyone else?

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

You wouldn't fire your family, would you?

[–] SocialMediaSettler@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Terrifying.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

"Nah, I'm here for the money."

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

You're expected to drop everything when your family needs you with no expectation of getting anything for all your sacrifice.

Yep - they definitely want you to see the company as family.

[–] exegete@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Ed Truck is the exact guy who told Michael coworkers were not family in the show lol

[–] aessedai@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

My family needs to unionize.

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Boss: "In this company we are a family"

Me: intstantly gets a hard on for my coworkers

[–] Batman@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What are you doing step-PM!?!?

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 years ago

Step-Prime Minister?

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Gets stuck the company laundry machine

"What are you doing step-coworker?"

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

If I am ever told we are like family, I'll gladly let whoever told me that know that if push comes to shove, I am not above murdering "family".

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

He noticed you are applying to other jobs and now is trying to guilt trip you

[–] bstix 2 points 2 years ago

The other families are just as abusive. Stone skimming only gets you so far, before you hit the bottom.

It better to establish a foundation through unionisation.
