A reply to a personal email from the direct boss but sending it to every other boss in the enterprise and including something in the line of "stop touching my balls!!!" ("deja de tocarme los cojones").

Could that be translated more colloquially to "stop busting my balls"?

[โ€“] bufalo1973@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think it could be. I'm not a native English speaker, so...

[โ€“] ZapBeebz_@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

If it was meant in a "lay off me" or "get off my back" way, I think "stop busting my balls" would be an accurate translation

I just remembered someone got fired from my first week of working at my job... But I literally can't remember what they looked like or their name. It's freaking me out

Anyways he got fired because he left our client in the waiting room of a hospital. (We work with the special needs and left with all his medical information)

We were a small team canvassing for a nonprofit. So we would go out to markets and busy areas and talk to people all day trying to get donations.

Well one time we were out during election times and this guy from our team spent the majority of the day campaigning for a local candidate. That was his last day on the team.

Messaged in a work chat to "come and grab a laptop before they get asset tagged ๐Ÿ˜‰" when we got a big donation of laptops

One of my current co-workers. In his previous job, his company had him managing a warehouse by himself. Doing all the work, including the jobs that by the company handbook required two people and protective gear that they also didn't provide. When they were finished with that place they fired him for 'working unsafely'.

Not his responsibility, but still a dumb way to get rid of an excess employee.
