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
What an absolute piece of shit coming in 15 minutes early on your scheduled start date.
I know this is sarcasm but the point of the lunatic was that he wanted them to come on Monday, a full day before.
I know you don’t have a laptop or a desk or email yet. Oh, and you’re not in the payroll system, but if you want to stand around all day not getting paid, I won’t stop you.
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.
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.
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 🤣
6 figures is a salaried position. You aren’t even getting paid hourly, and likely not clocking in or out, at that point. You aren’t the person getting sent home by this rando middle-manager - more likely his boss.
This doesn’t change what I said above though…
W2 wage slavery, they cant get rid of your as easily since the market is less liquid.
Salaried employement is literally a different category than wages. At the level of 6-figures, you’re more “company representative” or “asset” than employee.
Spotted a kool-aid drinker
I am sure people getting laid off for no reason feel like an “asset”
6-figure salary workers generally get severance pay, even at companies that otherwise don’t offer that. They generally can’t unionize - THAT’S how en-meshed they are with their companies’ interests.
You either have no idea how far the people you are talking about are removed from a wage-slave like yourself, or no idea how far you yourself are removed from wage-slavery.
These people are well into the top 15% of earners. Outside of the biggest cities, they run hospitals, school districts, multiple floors of office buildings. They are the ones getting special tax credits for their 2nd homes. They are landlords and/or small business owners(like myself). People with an exit plan, not just for their job, but for their state, for their country - plans they can impliment at the drop of a hat with minimal impact to their savings or retirement plans. They and their friends buy up neighborhoods together; They are the bourgeoisie. Near-aristocrats and merchant class that see themselves as poor.
The only kool-aid drinker here is you.
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?
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.
Shit most places do the “open office” thing where you get a third of this space and less privacy. Everyone can hear everyone’s calls.
And people wonder why employees hate RTO
Eh, I like our open office workspace. Our desks are large, we each get drawers, and if anyone needs to make a call, they go to a breakout room. Navigating cubicles sucks, and separate offices aren’t great either.
That said, I’m a developer, so inviting someone over to my desk to look at something is quite common. We also frequently have impromptu 5-min meetings between rows, and we arrange people so those who will likely need those quick meetings are near each other.
It certainly wouldn’t make sense for a call center or something, but it definitely makes sense for a creative, collaborative environment.
I mean this is a cubicle not an office, but they don’t even give you a designated desk?
Nope. You have to reserve a table and try to coordinate with your coworkers to reserve close. I like go to the office so people already knows the table I usually reserve, but sometimes someone else take out that table and I end in a different floor where the sun reflects on the neighbor building and blast my face all day.
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.
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.
Always tell these people that they’re despicable to their face. It’s the only way to change their toxic culture.
