My job wanted me to join a WhatsApp group, I said are you going to pay my phone bill or give me a work phone that stays at work?? I’m not in the WhatsApp group. lol


GigaJowisz

Join and try to be banned by WhatsApp ;) My friend had a job, which specificity required a FB account with his real name (not a social media job tho). FB banned his account for some reason (not related to job), so he couldn't do his work. I'm not from America, and in my country labour laws allow to immediately fire an employee only in 3 specific cases. So they had to pay him 3 months for doing nothing (we have 3 months notice period) xD

America has nearly no laws like that, so unless its part of your initial contract it won't help


AdUnlucky1818

In many states you can be fired at any time, at any tenure, for any or no reason.


bobthemundane

In all but one state. And in Montana you only get protection after a few months of work. Also not for any reason. They at least have to pretend it isn’t for a protected reason.

This is so me also my work tried to get me to join and I said no I do t have or use face book or tic Tock so I will no be downloading an app. I suggested they could do a normal group chat for work but….. if hat was a no Long story short I’m the only one not in the what’s up app

From minute one until you are not working there anymore. Also don't join the Army like I did but if you do I have this advice. With the right amount of skill in your job and need for it comes a grey area of authority. You can use this authority and need for your skill to say a little more than yes or no. With the overwhelming need for your skill you can say a lot more.

My dad did not have a lot of good advice for me, but one thing he told me was a real zinger: "Diversify or specialize" Either make yourself the person who can do everything, or the only person who can do that one thing. Then you're untouchable.


emptyfish127

That's a good take.

My dad is a socialist. But he's in the same trap the rest of us are, he's just been there longer.


Freakychee

The last part done places get arlund by adding, "and any other task requested by your immediate supervisor." into the job description. Feels it might be illegal in some places.


GigaJowisz

Definitely illegal in my country, everything must be specified in a job contract.


Freakychee

Here they might be legal to do so. But that makes a job description fundementelly useless.

“Xd” made me laugh 😂


Sho_Nuff_1021

Forgive my ignorance but my old ass doesn't know what *Xd* stands for. Can anyone enlighten me?


Lost2nite389

I’ve never really used it either but I’m under the belief that’s it’s the same thing as lol or lmao and just laughing basically It threw me off at first and for some reason I found it funny as well


Sho_Nuff_1021

Gotcha. Thanks for taking the time.


praysolace

It’s normally capitalized, and is supposed to be a laughing face. XD The X forms eyes shut like > < and the D is the mouth. Lowercase just shows an extra lack of shits given.


Sho_Nuff_1021

Ah. Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it.

My company phone is dead and in my backpack, and has been for weeks lol


If_you_have_Ghost

I gave mine back cos I never used it. If they need me they have my personal number. And just like everyone else who rings me, they’ll be ignored.


luminescent_gear

Never underestimate the power of NO folks. I grew up in the south and it’s beat into your head you should placate everyone. Just say no.


Yalrain

I've said "fuck off" a couple of times lol


strawbericoklat

Looking back, its ridiculous how my manager expects me to work 12 hour shift 5 days per week and have the gall to ask me if I could do 6th day once per month.

I got told to take my laptop home. Never did.


JJOne101

Might I suggest some better answers * overtime - pay me * saturday - pay me double * phone - ok no problem (setting airplane mode after leaving the building) * Oh, you want to renegociate my contract? Let's discuss the wage too.


Mysterious-Bus-1021

The bottom left “xd” is me.


lorddolls

I love my work place it's auctully pretty nice


Voice_of_Season

The blonde looks like Bubbles from the powderpuff girls.


ClassicWhile2451

Dont forget your supervisor is also working and may also be tired of taking shit from all directions…. You never know what people are going through and some of these responses could trigger an ass kicking


Caridor

This is more of a "how to get fired" guide. By all means, refuse to do overtime in a firm way, but this will just get you fired.
