D1 guy kind of started from a place where he was belittling his brother-in-law right out of the gate and made a freakout like this inevitable, which wasn't necessary, but on the other hand, he's not wrong per se

Here's some short Ask A Manager stories for the thread Prank Tribunal: My coworker is really angry about a prank quote:Some of my colleagues decided to pull (what they thought was) a harmless prank on a coworker. The coworker, “Jane,” is particular about her car – she always parks far from the entrance because she is concerned about car door “dings” and does not want anyone to park near her. As a joke, several people pulled their cars around her one morning last week. No one touched her car or impeded her ability to get into the car or leave the parking lot. My workplace pulled a mean April Fools prank on employees quote:Today is April 1st. All the managers at my plant secretly met and decided to call a meeting with the employees in two departments. The plan is to tell them their departments are all required to work 4 hours overtime tonight. quote:Update several minutes later: My employees played a horrible prank on a coworker — what do I do now? quote:I’m writing seeking advice as to how I as a manager can handle the aftermath of a joke gone wrong. The joke never should have been played in the first place, but that ship has sailed. I manage four reports and two of them made another think $50,000 had gone missing and she was being arrested for stealing it (my other report was not involved at all). They went so far as to get one of their wives to pretend to be a police officer there for the arrest. The one who was accused wept so hard she vomited. She was adamant she didn’t do it and asked to phone someone to go stay with her sick mother while she was in custody. It was only then she was let in on the joke. She has not returned since it happened and will not answers calls or letters.

Why do so many employees feel that work is a place for comedy and hilarious gags? I would fire every prankster in all those stories, even the car idiots "hey things are going well at the office let's start some poo poo looool" Ah ok cool please take your comedy act on the road and hopefully they'll enjoy it at your next job

But there's a point at which you have a short argument and then nod your head "Uh huh, right" and move on. BIL is a dumbass for taking back and marrying a cheater, but dude has nothing to gain by escalating an argument and rabidly pissing him and his own fiancée off. It's called being an adult and tact exists for a reason, whether it's shitflinging about religion, politics, or someone's very stupid relationship decisions.

Hellblazer187 posted:Comments are eating D1 guy alive, and I don't agree. D1 guy owns. Dude was just saying what everyone should be thinking. Like I wouldn't go overtly in their face about it but I would probably lose a lot of respect for anyone that took back a cheater. Feels like one of those things that if you had any self respect you'd acknowledge you just shouldn't have to try and make it work. If the BIL actually goes through with a divorce D1 dude did him a favor over just thinking poorly of him behind his back. ArbitraryC fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jun 1, 2018 |

Cough Drop The Beat posted:I work in IT at one of the largest retail giants in the world and literally everyone wears casual button-downs/polo shirts/t-shirts and jeans daily. That's everyone from QA testers to infrastructure engineers making six figures. No one ever cares. Complaining about how people dress is the height of comedy. I am at work, right now. I am wearing jeans and a black undershirt from DXL. There is another employee also wearing a black undershirt from DXL. Frankly, having to put on a Polo every day sounds oppressive.

A lot of people are really obsessed with 'decorum' and 'being polite' in a way that isn't actually polite but involves not bringing up any of the glaring issues with things because then they might have the change or evaluate themselves

Honestly anyone who not only takes back a cheater, but just sort of casually drops that information in front of someone they aren't close with is either asking to get the D1 treatment, or desperately seeking validation for his oh so progressive choice. At absolute worst he should tell BIL "I don't regret the sentiment of what I said but I recognize I was pretty harsh." But actually he shouldn't do that. He should call the BIL and offer to lift weights with him to help him get through the divorce.

Twitch posted:Is it weird that I dress differently at work? Also I thought people wear thongs so their pants don't get noticeable underwear lines, and you only can see thong if they're wearing low-rise jeans or something. Now I work from home and my attire is that of a teenage boy/mom in the 'burbs (jeans, t-shirt, Converse), but when I worked in an office this is exactly why I wore thongs. They are not really super comfortable.

Frankly, having to put on a Polo every day sounds oppressive. Like half of my co-workers wear a undershirt style t-shirt just like that while they test software or write Powershell scripts, so I feel ya. I like polos though, but it doesn't really matter.

I would sit Jane down and tell her to get over it or find somewhere else to work. That second one is an obnoxious abuse of power and it's not the first time I've heard managers stringing along hourly employees like that and won't stand for it anywhere I am. That third one...jesus that is unconscionable. Fire all the pranksters.

My (21/f) ex boyfriend (25/m) doesn’t want me to sleep with other men despite him dating other girls quote:I dated this guy for roughly four months. We broke up for complicated reasons involving not being ready for commitment on both our parts. For a while, we continued sleeping with each other. During this time, we were having some of the best sex of our lives (we discussed this one night post sex), probably because we didn’t feel any pressure to “impress” the other and just be our authentic selves since the relationship was over.

If I put a whoopee cushion* on someone’s chair, and they start stabbing people, that’s not on me. *fun fact, the Romans were no stranger to the concept of “a bag that you trick people into sitting on and it makes a farting noise”.

As an April Fools prank, I said I was quitting my jobquote:I may have put myself unintentionally on the bad side of a few of my coworkers, as well as possibly my supervisor. Just recently was April 1st, and for some humor (or so I thought), I figured I’d pull a prank by announcing on Facebook that I have taken a new job. Since it was April 1st, I thought that everyone would get it right away. I thought wrong. I pulled a prank on a coworker — and it ended badly quote:I’m in a bit of a sticky situation. I played a prank on an employee — locked him on the balcony during office hours. It was a few minutes before a company function with clients at the office. He got out a few minutes later, grabbed me by my arm hard, and yanked me away from a conversation with a coworker in a room of clients. He said that if I ever did something like that to him again, he would hurt me (but in colourful language) and it was in a hushed tone so that no one would overhear. But he was angry.

Haifisch posted:As an April Fools prank, I said I was quitting my job Both of those people are idiots, but I'm especially concerned with how stupid the second one is. Don't loving go to management telling them you literally falsely imprisoned someone. Tell the dude next day, "hey, sorry I was trying to be funny but I see now that it upset you. I won't do it again." Maybe offer to buy a drink or dinner to make amends. Victim's response was 100% justified. Hellblazer187 fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jun 1, 2018 |
