probably satire indeed
This has to be satire, right? No one is that big of an asshole.
Idk, maybe OOP is u/spez
There are some surprisingly asinine people out there who got so corrupted by their power over people that they got turned into almost caricature-like nightmare bosses.
I don't know. Where I work we used to have a guy in upper management that made people stand for meetings because "it was rude for people to sit in his presence." Thankfully he was finally fired.
I sure hope so lol
How do you fire someone that is unpaid? That's called volunteering.
I fired a guy who was more attractive to me because he was a threat to me banging the new hot intern! /s
This is the dumbest power trip I've ever seen. If this is real, poor Irwin
I think he dodged a big bullet on his first day
My boss doesn't own a car and I do...
I literally own a nicer car than my boss lol. -
I showed up to my first day at my new job in my 2020 Supra. My boss genuinely loved it.
I know this story is probably fake but the internet should have asked him why he felt entitled to decide if he could or could not wear AirPods seeing that you aren’t paying him.
i am entitled to his airpods
Wtf? There's not way this ain't fake, it's just too insane... If it's real I implore whoever the original poster is to seek out professional help...
it tipped into satire for me when they mentioned the intern wasn't even paid. please be satire
I tend to believe things are satire but at the same time I acknowledge with the amount of arrogant control freaks in the world there is a chance it has / will have happened to somebody at some point. Then I feel sad again.
And if a female intern wears a bra they get fired too, because the bossman doesn't own one himself. That's a one way ticket to sexual harassment lawsuit
They say people quit bosses, not jobs. Amazing if he still has people working under him.
Unpaid interns are disappearing in a lot of markets. I call fake story.
Poor student teachers… teacher prep programs produce so much free labor that they’ll never get rid of them. In a way it is a paid internship - You pay your college to find you a internship that doesn’t pay you :(
Can we just legally force people to call unpaid interns Diet Slaves? Or Slave Zeros? It’s not kuch different to be honest…
Some people are in dire need of a fist to the face.
Oh I’m glad this community is here. I missed this sub.
Okay. 100% satire. That said it drives me absolutely bonkers when coworkers are walking around common areas with their AirPods (I’m in an office). We had someone at my job bitching that people treat him differently or don’t talk to him. Like dude.. if you maybe took out your AirPods people might be more inclined to say hi.
Slight pet peeve, I also totally get doing it every so often, but wearing it 100% of the time it feels stand off-ish. Same thing with never turning on cameras for video calls. Totally get not having it on 100% of meetings. But there are a few people on my team or that I work with who NEVER have it on.
Also. We hired someone virtually the other day. They came into the office. Ends up they are taller than me so I had to let him go on the spot. What’s with all these people not respecting their elders? It’s called seniority for a reason. Entitled kids trying to make us look bad…. /s
Haha, nice unexpected turn there at the end.
Jfc what a douche xD
