I’ve seen the original post a few times but never the follow up, thank you for including that.
Neither had I! I assumed it was a fake interaction that I was happy to take at face value because it’s entertaining - but it looks like it’s real. There’s one more screenshot of people offering him jobs in his DMs, but it’s not that interesting.
Same here. That follow up actually made this go from good entertainment to fucking amazing.
Far out. I've been in a Trainwreck Team as a contractor and I didn't bother answering to the BS the manager came up with, which ended in my contract not being renewed (thankfully).
I can't imagine how fed up this guy must have been to actually state "don't call me ever again".
Most people don’t know the difference between contractor and employee. When I was a contractor I had to remind a manager that was completely overbearing and micromanaging that he is breaking the law
My favorite way of doing that was asking them when I could expect HR to send me the new employee paperwork so I can sign onto the health insurance. Because if they’re going to treat a contractor like an employee, the least they could do is offer employee benefits. And if a manager thinks they’re about to get called into HR to explain why they hired an additional employee without permission, you’d be surprised how quickly their attitude changes.
I remember reading the original of these without the tagline up top. The guys name was Abs Delfuego (I’m not making this up, you can google him). He posted by omegaweapon on Reddit. He had a neighbor with a disabled son, and Abs made an arcade machine for him.
His wife had died a couple years prior, and he started a business making arcade cabinets and occasionally maki no custom machines for charities. After he lost his wife he just kinda started not caring about being polite. If anybody got uppity with him, he’d cancel the contract. Just flat out, here’s your money, I’m done.
There were a lot of unhappy bosses calling gabs to apologize. Also a lot of people threatening to sue. I wonder what happened to him.
Edit: Apparently I can’t read, and this wasn’t Abs. I could swear I read something similar from Abs, but as the first line calls the person Caleb, I was mistaken.
That's delightful!
This is fan fiction

Did I just literally have my earlier reply deleted from here? Are the admins doing that or was that a mod action? I can’t even find it in my history.
I deleted this comment earlier because name calling/insults are against lemmys rules. I replied to your comment explaining why though, I didn’t just delete it out of the blue. And although I deleted it on the website, I can still see it on the Avelon app with a different mod account so who knows wtf is going on. Still, please don’t insult people, even if you censor your insult.
I literally do not care about the content or if I agree with the message, I automatically downvote anything that unironically censors curse words.
I’m with you. It’s a huge bugbear for me and I’m not even sure why it annoys me so much! But this is a cross post, I only censored identify info in the second photo to comply with the rules.
I also find unnecessary censorship very annoying. But I do not think OP did the censoring of the swears, I’ve seen this elsewhere.
