Don't listen to these snitches and corporate lackies.

Seriously. What unimaginative losers they are proving themselves to be

How terrible to be expected to do the job you’re being paid to do.

I got asked to tattle on somebody once and wouldn't do it, but that's the closest I can remember. They definitely wanted to get rid of the person, but needed more reasons. That person was extremely incompetent and annoying and removing them from my office would've increased my quality of work life tremendously, but I can't tattle to management on a union sister. This was like ten years ago, one of my prouder moments

WTF man you are the problem with this country

Yes. Be proud you helped an “extremely incompetent” coworker keep her job. That’s what the workforce certainly needs.

Way better than being a bootlicking snitch

I am proud of you Argo

They solved that problem by eventually giving that person a promotion to a better-paid job of less importance.

The chat you deleted forever in a fit of rage?

Maybe don't continually threaten to punch me in the head a couple years after I got continually punched in the head. Stop bringing it up! You're the bad guy in this story!

Bitch, I'm not an Argo head punch historian. How was I to know? You overreacted bigly!

Boo you booooo

Being punched in the head made him a better poster.

100%

I was merely offering to improve him further.

I just hope Argo doesn't delete the whole union at the first sign of adversity.

Historically, unions are willing to punch a few heads themselves. But I am no head puncher

One of my colleagues at the factory got fired yesterday. I don't recall anything like that ever happening in my professional life before, a colleague being fired.

You’ve been working for … 15? 20? … however many years and NEVER had a colleague that got fired?

I can't think of any at the moment, no

You should come work for me or wease and you’ll see how it’s done

That employee I wrote up last week turned in her 2-week notice yesterday.

Do you let them fulfill the 2 weeks or just cut the cord now?

I let them. Sometimes they don’t make it and leave before.

wease has never fired anyone. He can’t even hire anyone!

The Argonaut · **Posted:** Fri March 08, 2024 1:07 am

Holy cow, my factory job is so much better since that one person got fired. I wish them the best and all, but I've liked my job much better the last week

Are they backfilling the position?

The Argonaut · **Posted:** Fri March 08, 2024 2:43 am

I hope they don't hire anyone on my shift. I was the third person doing my job on my shift, but two of us are keeping up just fine

Sweet. Glad you're having an enjoyable experience.

Five interviews scheduled for the day. The first is already a no show.

Feel like I got sucked into a time loop.

When am I?
