      Probably, I’ve been in a similar situation. Closers had to wait til the manger unlocked the front door to let you out at the end of the night. I wouldn’t clock out, and others started to also. Wed sit there on the clock waiting for the managers then go punch out.

      Also, they got pissed we were working an extra half hour or so to cleanup or sit at the gate, so when my shift was over, I clocked out and stopped working, even if I wasn’t done. You don’t schedule me til 9pm, then bitch I needed half an hour to cleanup and finish since the fucking door was open with customers til 9pm.

      Fucking hated retail. Everyone after high school should work mandatory 1 year of retail or 2 years of military. Would curb a lot of this holier than thou narcissism bullshit really quick and have people treating each other with more respect.

        I’ve been saying the same thing since I worked retail many years ago. Would either save the world or destroy it, and I’m not sure which would be better.

        Why is it that so many companies steal their employee’s wages?

        It’s like they expect employees not to know better and contact an employment attorney and sue.

          They do expect were dumb. We’re trained growing up with wrong info. You know how many people I’ve met that they think if they get a raise they’ll make less money? Or how many don’t understand basic tax brackets? Met a girl who thought each tax bracket was applied to your entire income, so millionaire tax was “ripping off millionaires” lmao.

          Plus when healthcare and other things are tied to our job, you tend to not make waves and just fall in line. The system is fully against the working class.

    Hanlon’s razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” Exact instructions with no allowance for judgment were given and followed exactly. Not malicious, just compliance with stupid instructions.

      Erm ackshually that’s not really a valid application of hanlon’s razor because the entities being referred to as stupid or malicious are two separate beings

    Somehow I find the photo of a muscle guy with no clothes insulting for an “office” story.
    It is just so disconnected from each other?

    And I seriously doubt most office workers find a ribbed extreme muscle guy representative of office workers. And especially not the women.

    It’s not lie a huge issue, it’s just a meme, sorry for pointing out I found the guy misplaced,
    You all go ahead and have fun without much thought.

          It’s not about representation, it’s a symbol for being cool, visually unrelated to the person you’re calling a chad. And it’s intentionally extreme.

        And? Does that make it better or worse? Personally I don’t give a shit that he is a meme guy I knew that, but he is not the right meme guy for this sort of meme IMO.

            That’s mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or imitated.
            I know the definition very well both reading and hearing Richard Dawkins who coined and defined the term, explaining what a meme really is. And the idea is that memes can spread and evolve a bit like genes, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed to use the drawing u/Appoxo made.

            Edit:
            Funny why I’m downvoted for describing what a meme actually is???
            God people are either stupid or vengeful here!!

          It’s a story about workers flexing their strength against the boss and having the boss back down. It seems to fit just fine to me.

          I can’t possibly imagine why you seem to be so offended over all this.

              Its not malicious compliance to hang up on a customer in the middle of a call, or ignore other customers calling during business hours because your boss mandates you take lunch at an exact time? Whatever you say, buddy.
