        I mean even in corpo internet lingo where obscenity is censored… Panicked? Is panicked now negative enough of a word to deserve censorship? It’s a crazy web out there

          Well that one mark ended up making 13 of the comments in just this comment chain alone. 14 including this one I’m making, on a post with 50 comments on it, over 20% of them. If this were any other massive platform like reddit or Instagram or Facebook, this level of engagement would drive algorithms extremely effectively.

      Probably, I’ve been in a similar situation. Closers had to wait til the manger unlocked the front door to let you out at the end of the night. I wouldn’t clock out, and others started to also. Wed sit there on the clock waiting for the managers then go punch out.

      Also, they got pissed we were working an extra half hour or so to cleanup or sit at the gate, so when my shift was over, I clocked out and stopped working, even if I wasn’t done. You don’t schedule me til 9pm, then bitch I needed half an hour to cleanup and finish since the fucking door was open with customers til 9pm.

      Fucking hated retail. Everyone after high school should work mandatory 1 year of retail or 2 years of military. Would curb a lot of this holier than thou narcissism bullshit really quick and have people treating each other with more respect.

        There’s a certain set of people who would still treat retail workers like shit b/c “I had to put up with it, so they can too!” And I want to rake my foot down their shins just thinking about it.

        Why is it that so many companies steal their employee’s wages?

        It’s like they expect employees not to know better and contact an employment attorney and sue.

          They do expect were dumb. We’re trained growing up with wrong info. You know how many people I’ve met that they think if they get a raise they’ll make less money? Or how many don’t understand basic tax brackets? Met a girl who thought each tax bracket was applied to your entire income, so millionaire tax was “ripping off millionaires” lmao.

          Plus when healthcare and other things are tied to our job, you tend to not make waves and just fall in line. The system is fully against the working class.

      If the boss wanted everyone lunching at once, I assume that’s probably when they would take their own lunch, so they would have just closed the office for that hour.

    Hanlon’s razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” Exact instructions with no allowance for judgment were given and followed exactly. Not malicious, just compliance with stupid instructions.

      Erm ackshually that’s not really a valid application of hanlon’s razor because the entities being referred to as stupid or malicious are two separate beings

        That’s not a requirement of Hanlon’s razor. Stupidity can be introduced at any point in the process. If a commander orders a firing squad to form a circle and they shoot each other, that’s on the commander, not the squad for shooting each other.

          But in that scenario the subject of interest (who we’re trying to determine if they’re stupid or malicious) is the commander regardless of whether they were stupid or they were malicious. (Actually, you could apply the razor to the commander, the soldiers, or the system of both in combination; it works in any of those scenarios, as long as it applies to the same entity the whole time). In your original scenario, you aren’t comparing the hypothesis of a malicious employee to a stupid employee, you’re comparing a malicious employee to stupid instructions. Hanlon’s razor does not imply the employee is not malicious because you aren’t using it to imply the employee is stupid, you’re claiming the instructions are stupid, which is a perfectly good motivation for malicious behavior from the employee. A correct usage of Hanlon’s Razor here would be to say that you should assume the employees are stupid rather than malicious. I disagree with that interpretation because Hanlon’s Razor is often wrong, but it’s at least a valid usage of it.

    Somehow I find the photo of a muscle guy with no clothes insulting for an “office” story.
    It is just so disconnected from each other?

    And I seriously doubt most office workers find a ribbed extreme muscle guy representative of office workers. And especially not the women.

    It’s not lie a huge issue, it’s just a meme, sorry for pointing out I found the guy misplaced,
    You all go ahead and have fun without much thought.

          It’s not about representation, it’s a symbol for being cool, visually unrelated to the person you’re calling a chad. And it’s intentionally extreme.

            That’s mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or imitated.
            I know the definition very well both reading and hearing Richard Dawkins who coined and defined the term, explaining what a meme really is. And the idea is that memes can spread and evolve a bit like genes, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed to use the drawing u/Appoxo made.

            Edit:
            Funny why I’m downvoted for describing what a meme actually is???
            God people are either stupid or vengeful here!!

              The meaning of a meme can change separately from the image itself. That’s what makes it a recognizable concept distinct from the image in the first place.

          It’s a story about workers flexing their strength against the boss and having the boss back down. It seems to fit just fine to me.

              Its not malicious compliance to hang up on a customer in the middle of a call, or ignore other customers calling during business hours because your boss mandates you take lunch at an exact time? Whatever you say, buddy.

          I willed it into existence by utilizing another non-organic entity to manifest it.

          And I am a real person. Thus the “” are falsely used.
          Better use them this way: “Created”

            Both are valid. You didn’t create it. Putting quotes around “created” indicates I believe a different verb (eg. “requested”) would be accurate. Putting quotes around “you” indicates that the AI was the one who created it. They’re kind of a package deal here so either works.
