Hillariously, I've tried this a few times. Either security wouldn't let me in, or I couldn't clock-in ... no matter what, they didn't pay for the time, or at least not the whole shift.

(vs OOP): Sure, encourage me to realize you aren't worth working for before you have any idea what I can really do.

Showing up a few minutes early to work could make sense, but showing up a day early? WTF? Why would someone possibly tell you to start work on Tuesday unless there was some reason Monday intentionally wouldn't work? I mean ffs, either you won't be in the system, keys aren't ready, your friggin co-workers may not be ready, no desk... And you want to show up a friggin day early and make someone babysit you on top of their regular job?

I hope this is Ken Chang or what's his name.

[–] ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Considering the name is censored, doubt it

I love how far he leans into the satire.

Here's the problem: my posts are not satire. Groundbreaking philosophy can sometimes feel like satire because it is so avant-garde and interesting.

What's next? I have to sit at the back of the bus because those are the "Satire Seats"? My children have to go to the specific "Satire School"? This is segregation at its finest.

It's a big part of why I stick w/ my company when I know I can get higher pay elsewhere. My boss is actually pretty reasonable and the workload is totally acceptable.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My employer used to be reasonable. Now after having the office moved to another county they are expecting me to just switch from remote to hybrid working starting Monday morning.

I am not doing it. But feeling quite a bit of anxiety over the situation as I don't really know what is going to happen. I hope a lot of people refuse to but I don't know if they are. I do know that a lot don't want to.

I would have reverse-fired my future ex-boss. 'Monday? That was my day off after working 80 hours this week-end (I spent this day off doing research obviously). I was there on Sunday at 3:00 AM and couldn't see you so I took the liberty of making you redundant'

Did he dodge a bullet? Yes

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Hope he got his car keyed and his tires slashed

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Well, I mean, it's kind of obvious that this post is outrage bait, so you know, good on that 'cause I'm outraged, but if an employer actually did this to me, I would need somebody to talk me down before I came back with a gun.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

why is this censored

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

For $20-30/hr? Unless it's a 6 figures never expect this effort from anything.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 20 points 1 day ago (17 children)

Figures don’t matter. If your pay comes with a check stub, you do your job, and then go home.

What a ghoul.

No one is this stupid, but he might be dumb enough to lie about being this stupid

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No one is this stupid

My guy, 77 million people voted for Donald Trump for a second term.

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

And a fair other similar amount did not vote and let him be.
