Got a new boss once my company merged. First round table meeting and he starts attacking our imaging team for not working fast enough, claiming all received requests should and could be boxed and shipped within 48 hours of being received.

After the imaging team kinda fumbled their words, I stepped in and just flat out said that is not true, not of what he said was true. Then explained why. Having to break it down for him that these are office tech workers that support one of the largest teams with the highest turnovers. They don't have the luxury of sitting down and doing nothing but one thing consistently.

The guys hasn't spoken to me in almost 2 years sense. Other than "hey I'm sick, hey I'm going on PTO, e.t.c." he passively snaps at me if I speak up in team meetings now. It's fuckin hilarious.

Fuckin missed opportunity. Would be even better if it was over 98 and the killer says like a really bad joke about running hot.

Honestly. I used to watch my dad have like 4 channels he could switch between so he didn't have to do commercials. I used to think that was weird, and indicative of some poor character traits. I was a judgemental little shit.

Now this meme is me. I have become my father.

Lol, essentially the company closed down a bunch of plants to make one big plant. Dude in question was a foreman at each plant at one point in time. They start the new plant, fast forward like six months and I get hired to do IT. The guys laptop has a memory leak issue that we couldn't track down, so we were gonna reimage the machine. Had to backup data first. The company i worked for forced us to use a singular proprietary tool to do both. I was not allowed to manually back up anything ( like I wanted to, because seriously wtf) Well lo and behold this software doesn't give a shit about the D partition of the users HDD or anything on it, so it wipes that part. Well that was the part of the drive that had all calibration data, measurements, contacts in the industry. Pretty much the guys black book got wiped. This is literally during first quarter of a merger. I get fired. A few weeks or like a month later I see the company stock took a huge hit because of issues with a merger. I also run into an old coworker at a gas station like 6 months later and she informed me that everything went to shit when I left and they cut the staff by more than half. Over a hundred people lost their job because of my fuck up.

I caused the loss of multiple millions of dollars in stock of one of the largest manufacturering companies in the world. All because I listened to my boss instead of my instincts. I got fired because the senior foreman "couldn't stand to look at my face"

I think a lot of people in this thread are missing the point. They didn't refuse out of hate, they refused out of fear. There's a Nazi problem in Florida right now, a lot of them target companies and organizations that teach about racism.

The JCC isn't being a dick here, their being cowards.

Yeah, cruel fact about humanity. All these great technologies could give us luxury space communism in 100 years or so, but that won't happen. Shitty people will be shitty and these technologies will be used for shitty purposes or intentionally stunted.

That's some 4D Level international espionage.

The surprise is an obvious trap to be put in the prison or zoo.
