Oof i’ve walked into this before. Worked for one of the Big 4 banks in Australia. They start with “How was your morning? Good? Excellent opens folder now lets talk about the drugs in the carpark”. Can’t believe i survived that lol
So… Tell us about the drugs in the carpark. That’s definitely a story.
Lol it was basically a “trade” in the carpark with some higher ups and someone ratted. Turns out all they cared about was “how compromised you were”. Once they investigated and found it was just one person who “witnessed” and reported it, everything was over in a few days.
What happened to that person?
They ended up leaving the business about a month later but i never found out why or heard anything. I obvs didn’t like them so never asked
Yuuuuuuup.
Invite also shows up in your inbox an hour or less before meeting time, and is completely irregular from your normal schedule.
Protip: BACK EVERYTHING UP NOW if this happens. There’s a chance that IT hasn’t shut down your access to systems yet.
And they have statement on why the senior engineer had to be involved in your maintenance job.
If I’m getting fired, I’m not listening to their bullshit. It’s happening sooner, not later.
I’m not listening to their bullshit
Not even if it includes a severance package?
Lol, what severance package? Those don’t exist anymore.
They are there just rare. I lost my job last year and they gave me 3 months worth salary and insurance as the package. Even I was surprised by it cause I never got one before and didn’t even know WTF those were.
Oh N-
Ahh yes, September '24. I got my email notice about the “Teams” appointment.
I sent a pre-emptive reply and notified them of my diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder.
Kept my job. Enrolled in counseling.
Still pluggin’ along.
I’ve only had this happen one time. I didn’t enter my time in our time tracker on time over 90 times in a year. We have till 1 the following day before we get a ding for it. Pretty deserved chat. I had already had a chat with my bosses boss before the meeting with HR and my boss so I was expecting it.
My boss also had to get the same chat, and I think his boss did too.
It amazes me that calling people resources survived the language-policing trend of the past 15 years.
Because the language policing trend didn’t happen naturally but was another angle of the divide and conquer, deflecting people to waste time policing language instead of useful endevors while alienating not only people who disagreed about the underlying values but also people tired of people bitching about their use of language.
They needed all of the stops to pull off the elections and one of them was amplifying the most obnoxious aspects of the left, which also affected their credibility, which was important to get the opposition to ignore the warnings about the obvious signs of fascism.
And right now, that same strategy is being used to keep the disillusioned from joining up with the left by amplifying the “fuck you, you’re irredeemable” responses to the ones starting to see Trump for who he is.
It all started clear as day right when the Occupy Wall Street movement dissolved.
