A.B.B.: Always Be Bootlicking

I felt bad for the guy for a moment but now it's just funny. Imagine being this used to the boot that you just slob along after being laid off. Embarrassing really.
-
Trying to lick all of the boot while it is firmly lodged between your jaws

Felt bad for the guy. Now I don't.

It's a necessary skill to move up in corporate jobs.

tbh I'd probably fire anyone involved with "Call of Duty Esports" too
-
yeah dude they don't care if you suck up to them on twitter
-
Bosses are just hatchetmen for the investors. My company just arbitrarily slashed around 200 people because it shows a strong message to the investors that “we mean business “
-
CEO once said in a conference that he fires 5% of the staff at random every year to "keep people on their toes and working hard" not even perfomance based just pure random
-
That’s just motivation to work even less hard. If firings are random and decoupled from performance evaluation, then doing the bare minimum carries just as good odds of not getting fired as going above and beyond. Christ CEOs are dumb motherfuckers.

Yes, that was the problem with Bobby Kotick. Not acknowledging Call of Duty Esports as a product of Blizzard.

From the company that brought you the famous games where you fight demons comes the sequel: Diablo 5: Your Boss is the Devil

I read this as "Gets laid by said new president" and was extremely confused.
-
i want to laugh about this, but the dude just literaly lost his job :(

IF I WORK HARDER THE BOSS WILL GIVE ME A RAISE -
Believe it or not, this is actually the most pro-working class tech employee

Losing your job is bad enough, but I hate how all these companies try to do some real Machiavellian shit when it comes time to give you the axe. There's never any heads up or courtesy. They do shit like schedule an all-hands meeting with a nebulous title and then shut down Slack right before changing the meeting name and only inviting people that were getting laid off. Worker professionalism is demanded constantly, but the same won't be extended to you no matter how long you're with a company.
-
The day I got laid off, it was announced in a meeting that was scheduled about an hour in advance that same day. Rumors started flying as soon as the "mandatory" meeting invite went out, and about ten seconds after the terse announcement, I got my email. I barely had a chance to ask my coworkers who else was getting axed and say goodbye before I was locked out of all the systems thirty minutes later.
but employees had to give at least two weeks notice to take any PTO lmao
btw I thought I was a jaded commie about selling my labor before, but the experience of getting laid off and the indignity of begging for work for almost six months now has turned me into a hardened hater
-
I had a company I used to work at hire McKinsey to do their thing. I found out about 7pm the night before the big layoffs hit because a coworker pinged me outside of work channels saying he couldn't log into Slack anymore, and that this was it. The next morning, 15% of the company didn't have a job, and half my team's functions (which were business critical, foundational level platforms) were now completely rudderless because they didn't think to check if they were firing the entirety of the people who managed them.

When you're young, it's a comedy
Then you get older and it becomes a dark comedy
Bosses a few years ago fired some people during the work Halloween party. That was the last one we had as a company together.
Because Bidenomics is working too well. Haven’t you seen the news? Real wages have gone up. That means it’s time to layoff some workers. Wait a few months until they get desperate. Then you’d get to hire from the same pool of desperate people willing to work for an even shittier pay. It’s cyclical.
