ate all the Oreos posted:At my last job someone did the whole "give two weeks notice then go on vacation" thing so they fired them after one day out as one last gently caress-you I guess I once worked a job, and they tried to convince me that in order to get into the position I wanted, I would have to quit, and they would rehire me as a contractor. Of course when you quit, you lose all the perks, and you're lucky if a temp agency will give you anything. I basically refused until they quietly moved me over. The thing that always got me about that job was that they hired a lot of immigrants who's primary language wasn't English, so I'm sure they had managed to get away with that scummy poo poo before.

Like it's a sign of weakness if you don't put in a bazillion hours of work/week. Seems the weirdest thing ever to be proud of, but I'm just a lazy European I guess?

Here's an older one but I've seen a more recent one that was a little better but noooot much: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.59019ee3b343  I like how it's mostly a normal curve except a bunch of people think we spend most of our budget on foreign aid for some reason e: For anyone who doesn't know the actual number is less than one percent

Calico Heart posted:So I live in the UK and only recently found out about Americans being scared to phone in sick for work or actually take the holiday time in their contract. To me, this was absolutely mind-blowing, even on a minimum wage job (I have worked my share or boring lovely jobs). I could maybe imagine phoning in and my boss being disappointed I couldn't make it in, but I can't imagine fearing for my livelihood every time I got a cold.

Lol I never understand the manager's line of thinking in stuff like this. What's the best case scenario here? Employee comes in anyway and totally half asses the job, maybe fucks up some orders or worse? And that makes your 'restaurant' look bad too, so why? Why?

Political people are misrepresenting the actual importance of expenditures, right? Why would they do that? <looks at pie chart of federal spending. Sees 54% military*> Oh....oh.... *54% is from 2015 discretionary spending. It's actually just 16% of discretionary and non discretionary. Still, it's the 3rd largest line item after health and human services and social security. Oscar Wild has issued a correction as of 21:00 on Aug 20, 2018 |

Oscar Wild posted:So who is at fault here? Political people are misrepresenting the actual importance of expenditures, right? Why would they do that? In fairness that's 57% of discretionary spending, if you look at the total budget it's more like 15-20% of total spending, but that's still a mind-bogglingly enormous amount at $681 billion yearly (for FY2019). I once read a drug company quote the price of bringing a new drug to market was $20 billion. Now I know that's insanely inflated (for example, they count all the money they "could" have made in the stock market if they took the money they spent on research and invested it instead as part of the "cost") but even paying that much, our current military budget could fund 34 new drugs a year. And that's nothing, at the peak of the Iraq war we were spending $20 billion per day. There's nothing that gets me angrier and more depressed than thinking about the defense budget

This piece of poo poo presumably treats everyone like that, but that's no reason to publicly shame him! Until people realize there are consequence for being a piece of poo poo, they will continue to be a piece of poo poo. E: how long until the local news runs a puff piece on him about 'I was just trying to teach these kids that the world is rough and now thanks to social media my life is ruined' puff piece?

I like how a 15 year old kid is more mature than he presumably adult boss restaurant owner. after being told to gently caress off he just says "ok thanks for having me, have a good life" small business owners are the worst
