it'll polish out

Shoving pizza up their nose
Holding pizza like a plate
Strap disappears mid-way
(mentioned) collarbone

Yah AI is in its early stages and should only be used for simpler tasks like military weapons systems and running the US government

Middle management AI when?

I was gonna say, that whole post is giving "boss cosplaying as an employee" vibes to me

I'd be surprised if the person is even real

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Thank you for helping me to catch what this reminds me.

Except it was a bit sharper difference between what they were and what they played.

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I initially interpreted it as a joke, but you may be right.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Lol, look at how she's holding it.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 44 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Man, I'm annoyed because my job has a fun budget of like $1000 which has nothing to do with raises.

And they're terrified of using that money to make a pizza party because of the backlash. So instead, they spend that money on buying dumb ass posters and hats for people with positive encouragement.

So thanks to these memes, instead of drowning in pizza, I get a Good Vibes trucker hat.

[–] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I do hope you said thank you and wear it every day to office.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 7 points 1 week ago

Can you not tell the employees that you have it earmarked for that and ask for suggestions?

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Why not do go-karts or something? Y'know, as long as it's during business hours.

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just an idea, visa gift cards. If you need to make it fun, make it a raffle.

We have pretty strict rules at my work about cash equivalents. I'd go with food.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Dude, pizza is not expensive, and it's also incredibly unhealthy. That's the reason there are memes. Just go buy a frozen pizza for $4 at the store. The store brands are really solid.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

I found a meme that relates to the garbage I get now.

[–] VirgilMastercard@reddthat.com 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So many things wrong with one post. Shitty AI image, gargling on corporate balls, probably a sockpuppet account, terribly distributed jalapeños, calling themselves an "artist".

Is she picking her nose with that pizza?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

A "custom artist", even. Whatever that is.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'm trying to decide whether this is some poor attempt at propaganda or a poorly executed joke.

[–] mostlikelyaperson@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Judging by the AI generated pictures and the “artist” bit, my money is on them being a “prompt engineer” attempting to suck up to their bosses to delay their inevitable firing once they realize they might as well cut out the middleman.

I checked their profile to make sure wasn’t a parody account and most posts seem normal so i also can’t tell

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 1 week ago

Imma say, both.

Idk I like how her shoulder emulates a coat hanger, obviously a step forward in human evolution.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

I hold pizza sort of floaty above my hand like that.

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 25 points 1 week ago

Classic "You could buy a PlayStation if you didn't pay union dues!" message. And with AI art to make it extra gross.

After decades of playing 'ZA' in Scrabble, this is literally the first time I've ever seen someone use it in a sentence.

Oh boy! Here's your second then:
South Africa's Internet top-level domain is .za!

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Maybe I want some tequila with my pizza. Maybe I like a set of toppings that never gets ordered at a pizza party. Maybe I want to hire a hooker to feed me the pizza. Wanting cash instead of pizza enables all of this and more.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It takes literally 2 seconds to debunk, with the shortest possible walk of logic. If you got a raise, you would spend exactly that amount every pay period buying pizza, and would never, ever use it for anything else...?

[–] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Also, how many pizza parties are you getting that are worth a raise? If you consider a 1000$ raise per year, which is I guess nothing on a US salary, it's like 50 pizzas. If you eat two whole pizzas at every single pizza party, that would be almost two parties per month. Is that a realistic amount of parties?

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

I guess if it was a daily unlimited good pizza party instead of a small raise given as long as I had the job; then maybe it would be a better deal.

If I'm either getting an extra $100 a month or $20 of pizza every day.. I think pizza wins.

What are the chances we get daily free pizza?

If it's not daily: I'd take the money. If daily: I'd have to think about it.

If you read this far and it's not clear: I'm joking.

[–] abobla@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I strongly believe this is a bot

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Here's hoping.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Eat your single allocated slice of pizza, employee. Be grateful you're getting a pittance and go back to work. Bathroom breaks are now a privilege. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
