My employee came for his pay check. I fired him on the spot. I don't respect people who only work for money.

My employee kept trying to take time off to attend his brothers wedding. Mom and I were distraught for months. We were his family now, and our only work son would betray us like this?

job requirement:

mind reading

"I wanted my employee to do something I didn't ask for so I fired them when they did exactly what I asked."

Yeah, show up a day early to your office job, and find out that they don't have the system set-up for you to be there. Then go home, while everyone there thinks you got the start day wrong.

And have to go through three months of "yeah, remember? he's the idiot that came in a day early?
- yeah, the office in joke

Lol fucking what

Linkedin has become 4Chan it seems
- Oooh i like that idea. Reading the posts like greentext makes so much more sense.

Why censore the account name? They put it out publicly to be shared.

Many places where content is posted would remove this because it contains "personal information" regardless of it being shared publicly or not.
To avoid dogpiling and harassment.
- Seems like something they need in their lives. They need to learn perspective.
  They also need to stop lying on the internet about things that definitely didn't happen.
- A publicly made comment, like tgat one, if not paradoy, should be harrased

why is this censored

And then everybody in the office clapped.

Poe's law applies here.

It applies everywhere

Why is it blurred? I don't get why people try protect scummy companies.

the reason i know this is fake: that didn't happen and people don't generally start new jobs on tuesday.

Starting day is whatever the first working day of the month is.
- wut. really? is that an american thing?

I hired a new employee to start on Tuesday

He came in on Monday

I fired him on the spot

Can't follow simple fucking instructions

I hired a guy to start on Monday. He showed up at 8:45.
No Bueno buster, you were expected at exactly midnight because that's when fuckin Monday starts.
Yep exactly

Gotta love the fake power trip stories on LinkedIn. Cringe fest.

Exactly. I'm not a lawyer but I struggle to find the legality of firing someone for showing up early for work. What nonsense.
- I think that in a lot of the US, firing people because you enjoy it is fine. It's probably a hobby for some people over there.
- No, this was firing for not showing up on a non working day
- Depending on where this person is, as long as they weren't fired for something like their race, or religion, it is legal.

What an absolute piece of shit coming in 15 minutes early on your scheduled start date.

Yeah. I would have fired them on the spot.
Why?
Because if they came early it means that they not busy enough in their own life.
If life's not a one big hustle for you, you are not even trying.
(/s just incase)
- This reads like it came straight off of linked in. Perfection.
I know this is sarcasm but the point of the lunatic was that he wanted them to come on Monday, a full day before.
- Not that this actually happened of course, but if somebody genuinely worked like that, you wouldn't want to work for them.
  You'd probably end up stabbing them in the eye with a rusty fork, and no one would blame you.

I once had a conversation with a dude in the waiting room at the doctor's clinic. He said he purposely delayed in-person interviews for up to an hour sometimes so he can "judge" how the applicant reacts and show their dedication to getting the job. I pretty much stopped engaging after he said that. Fortunately I was called up shortly.

yeah it honestly makes sense considering that what most job interviews are measuring is the candidate's willingness to humiliate themselves for the boss
I used to work for someone who would deliberately schedule 5 or 6 people for an interview on the same day and time, then sit and talk on the phone for an hour while everyone waited. She acted shocked when people got up and left.
Always tell these people that they’re despicable to their face. It’s the only way to change their toxic culture.
- Abusers will try to lash out and I enjoy that 🐸
So he's pissing off all the great candidates who have better options.
- Seems that he is confusing desperation for dedication. The only people who are going to wait for an hour are those who have no other choice.
  It seems to me that he is really testing their ability to put up with his bullshit more than anything. One of my biggest pet peeves professionally is respect for the time of others.
Wow, that's terrible. If I'm not there 5 min early to perform your interview, I'll apologize. Being on-time to something like that just invites time-wasting things like kicking the previous group out of the interview room or whatever.
An interview should be a 2-way deal, I'm representing the company and trying to find a good fit for the role, and you're trying to decide whether the company is a good fit for you. If I'm late to an interview, I expect any self-respecting candidate to leave after 15 min, and I wouldn't be surprised if they left after 5. I'm the one looking to fill a role, you're just here to see if it suits you, so it's on me to give the good impression IMO.
I was a naive young lad desperately looking for internship. I was waiting for one hour for an interview and then the hiring manager is a short lady with a stern face came to get me. I thought the interview was simple and easy enough but I didn't get the job. Looking back, it was a power tripping move. However, I probably dodged a bullet because I heard from a colleague in my previous company that the company I tried to get internship in is toxic. The employees there have been working there for twenty years and stick to each other, not talking to new people. It is an old boy's club basically.

Sounds like the employee dodged a bullet there.

Wood chippers for all the bosses.

Would have, if it were real. Hiring people is a bitch. You don't ditch people because they're not psychic psychos.
- Yeah. HR would have thrown him out with the new hire if they actually did this

Assuming this isnt a parody, odds are good the job is a bog standard 40k a year desk job. Also filtering candidates and finding a suitable one takes many peoples' time, which you are wasting if you have invisible criteria revealed on the persons start date.

You mean a fast paced environment?
- Oof, a solo cubical. Haven't had one of those in like 8 years.
- Fucking dream for an office. I just got a table a notebook stand and a monitor. I have to carry the keyboard and mouse with me everywhere.
- I swear HR has a rolodex of dumb filler phrases to put into job ads. The kind that are vague enough that nobody can specifically call them out on it later.
- That looks like a dynamic fast paced environment, to me.

This is toxicity manifest.

And not even a succulent Chinese meal to compensate...
- Unhand my RESUMEEEEEE
- With processed ham?
It's also a made-up story to make people think the poster is HUSTLE PRIME

If the agreement says to come in on Tuesday, you're arguably trespassing when you force your way in in Monday.

It's called dedication
- "Yes, I broke in the office at 4AM in a Sunday but that was only because I'm DEDICATED"

This is a troll

Yeah, this really seems like it's satire. If someone hadn't blurred out the name, we would... Hold on.
A quick Google search yielded results.
- Could still be satire
It sounds a lot like Ken Cheng
This is yes, but also 100% possible.
- it doesn't matter if it's real, it only matters if it confirms my biases
Feels to me like the lunatic's fantasy. Like, the guy really wishes he could do it, but realizes he doesn't have the power to actually go through with it. So he makes up these fantasies to make himself feel better and to try and garner some clout with his fellow lunatics.
- Maybe. But it is satire by holding a mirror on power tripping, clout chasing LinkedIn influencers. That's like accusing the South Park creators of secretly wanting to swim in piss in a piss park, or secretly wanting to get into orgy with Satan, Saddam, Trump and Laura Loomer.

Why is the name censored? This is someone who wanted to post it public with their face attached. Let them. It's not like it's a private Facebook group.

I feel like self-censoring is the fad this part of this decade. Everyone's afraid for some reason. It's all blur this, black out that, I've even noticed police bodycam footage and news footage bleeping out curses and public information. People are more concerned with their "content" going viral than disseminating the honest information.
- I blame giant corpos training people to self-sensor. Twitter popularized this by hiding replies that contained curse words, so people began to use milder language. Then TikTok did their stupid censorship so people started using alternative words. Now YouTube does the same but they will straight-up delete your comment or deprioritize your videos without notice.
- We need to say fuck twice for every fuck they don't say.
Reddit tendrils
- It's not just reddit. Not by a longshot. unalive is a ticktok invention, for example.

Reminds me of the Team Fortress 2 Expiration Date animation.

Spy: Final Question... You have a dinner date for seven... what time do you arrive?
Scout: Seven. A.M. Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not, I gotta kill him. Dispose of the body, replace him with my own guy no later than 4:30...
Spy: You're ready.
Scout: Really?
Spy: No. Everything you just said was insane... and, we are out of time. Congratulations. You're a failure.

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?
- Honestly? Didn't expect to get paid(this isn't an entitlement thing from a peon perspective, so get that outta your head) and figured I had nothing better to do that day. Otherwise, I could sit-around and listen to my roommates bitch about how they didn't really believe I got a new job, they think I should never have left my old one, or go somewhere(library? mall? zoo? bar?) where their words would echo in my head anyways.
  All but one of these places, the start date was worked more around my schedule than theirs. There have also been a few places that weren't ready for me to do anything on the date they said they would-be, or the "start-date" was nothing more than an hour of filling out paperwork.
  Why wouldn't I take the opportunity to potentially knock that out early on a day that is more convenient to me for whatever reason? My energy levels are all over the place, so whenever I have plenty and an opportunity to use it properly, I gotta strike while the iron's hot.

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'

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

It's not Ken anything. It's some British guy named Jack Frimston.
I think it's up to you to decide whether or not this is supposed to be satirical. I'm on the side of thinking it's not.
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.
Ken M is who you're referring to I believe.
- No there's a specific satire account on Linked in.
- We're all Ken Chang on this blessed day
- GOOD point

Must be sooo nice to work in the US :)

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.
- Yeah. Sometimes pay isn't worth the toxic environment.
- 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.

Did he dodge a bullet? Yes

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

Figures don’t matter. If your pay comes with a check stub, you do your job, and then go home.
- Normie think that getting paid more makes it any less of wage slavery 🤣
The effort of wildly guessing that the specific agreement as it is done in writing and it is crucial that everyone upholds their agreements, was in fact just a random test by a lunatic?
Where is this leading: "Yeah boss, so you said the electrical wiring needs to withstand 16A at 230 V, but i thought this was just a test of yours to see our cost cutting entrepreneurship and i installed wiring for 12 V and safed the cost on the circuit breaker. Anyways we need three firetrucks, two ambulances and a hearse.

Hope he got his car keyed and his tires slashed

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.

What a ghoul.

why is this censored

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

No one is this stupid
My guy, 77 million people voted for Donald Trump for a second term.
- And a fair other similar amount did not vote and let him be.

🫏🕳

Sounds like shit fly by night firm... No proper corporate behaves like this. It is just bad business.

Let me waste time and money hiring somebody and then fire them. Literally burning money for a shit post 🤡

Maybe that was the goal. Maybe they got some big government grant but they had to prove they attempted to hire or something to keep the money so they burned some money doing interviews and such then pocketed the rest of the grant
- Well that's fraud and it happens but again, this is just some shit stain cos playing being a daddy owner

Based troll!

He should've spat on his hand before giving the asshole capitalist CEO yas boss boy the handshake

It's actually great news for that person, because they won't have to deal with that absolute shit show of a boss.
