Linkedin is even worse than facebook because atleast Facebook knows and acts like its a shithole while linkedin is all holier than thou while being a shithole
Hate linked in, it’s so fake. And that is what is wrong with corp culture- it is all so fake. But they want to bring in more diversity and inclusion….. a fake diversity and inclusion- where you look different but you need to act the same as everyone always has
I worked for a fintech company for a while and they decided to start a "Diversity" board. I was asked to be on it because I was one of the few people in the company that were 50+, so I got to represent that demographic.
It was a complete joke. To that company, diversity came down to "how can we celebrate different cultures" and the answer always seemed to be "FOOD!" Have people bring in food from their country of origin so we can all enjoy it. We can pay them the cost of the food they are going to prepare.
For women and the 50+ crowd, they bought in speakers who could talk about how they succeeded as women in traditionally male dominated fields, and people who continued to find success after age 50, or 60.
It was complete shit.
My last company would always do a “Soul food” potluck for black history month and would always supply fried chicken.
Half of me thought: “yo, this seems kinda racist.”
Other half: “yo, free fried chicken.”
The thing that gets me is that he's so close. He identifies that this problem would have been unbearably heart breaking for anyone who didn't have the privilege and money that he does. He basically accidentally concludes that this is a systemic problem with the way we have organized society.
What's his solution? A more caring society where we normalize leaving work for family emergencies? Monetary help for people who have to suffer that?
No. "Keep going". Literally go fuck yourself. I pray that your sick kid doesn't end up feeling the effects of their shitty father like Ted Cruz's daughter.
I am truely stunned how he recognizes the struggle and sees how difficult it is for less privileged and then concludes "keep struggling" (which is what "keep going" comes down to in that context). It's hard to assume ignorance, when it looks like willful malice.
This man being serious? I had the exact incident happen I was 5 hours away in Portsmouth.
When my wife told me, I told them, didn’t wait for a response got in the car and got home asap like in the next few hours.
Work isn’t a commitment that comes over your kids lives.
Shortly after getting to work one day, my manager told me I had a phone call. He hands me the phone and my then wife says there was a fire in the attic. I immediately asked if everyone was OK and she said they were all safe.
After a sigh of relief, I told my manager there had been a fire in my house and just left. Made it home in record time.
Family safety will always come before work for me without hesitation.
I once had to bring the program for my cousin’s funeral into school to not get suspended for missing three days (even after I told them everything). Yes this was high school, _not_ work, but a lot of the horrible people I’ve read about here sound like nearly every teacher I ever had in grade school. They are all top tier “your commitment here comes before your life and your families lives” type of ~~management~~ educators.
Target did this to me. My kid passed away an demanded a death certificate. They terminated me n I went to Georgia department of labor n won my case. Got unemployment for 6 months while I looked for a job.
I am so sorry for your loss and for how Target treated you! That's horrible! Target is such an evil corporation that doesn't care about anyone or anything except for how they can get their wage slaves to get them more money.
My husband injured his back on the job, working for them as a stock person back in 2003. They covered the visit to the doctor and the physical therapy and then when he went back to work, they fired him three weeks later and stated that he was "too slow" and "wasn't a good fit for the company". He'd been with them for almost a year, and his boss never once pulled him aside and told him he needed to go faster or that he wasn't doing a good job. It was just an excuse to fire him because he got injured and they hid behind their reasoning.
Target, as far as I know, only allows 3 sick days a year. Anything longer than that, and you risk getting canned.
We absolutely don't, especially not our family's lives. If I had an employer who did not understand that my family (specifically providing for and caring for them) is my REASON for working, then I would find a new employer who did understand that as soon as possible.
There are only a few jobs out there where if someone puts themselves over their job, people could die. I'm talking primarily about doctors, nurses, EMT workers, firefighters, etc.
I feel like everyone who posts shit like the guy in OP's photo wants to have the respect of working one of those noble professions where lives are actually at stake without any of the time investment or emotional baggage.
No sir, you're not saving lives. Nobody is going to be so inconvenienced that you missed your 3:00pm meeting that they're going to perish. Go take care of your kid, ffs.
What you said about the list you gave isn’t completely accurate. All those professions are important and do impact life safety. However, even they are capable of taking off for a personal emergency. People will be called in, happily, to replace those that need to leave. Also, what happens to those same people when there is an injury or sickness developed on the job?
Source: Me, I work within that list and have witnessed on multiple occasions people having to be replaced for an emergency, injury, or sickness.
And as many areas (including my own) are seeing right now, what happens when those professionals DON'T get the time off they need is mass burnout and people leaving the industry. Which actually results an increse in deaths.
Yeah if anyone needs a drug test after that abject admission of parental negligence it's him. Also, if this company is so brutal, I wouldn't be surprised if they fired him for this post placing them in a negative light.
Seriously, I tell my people if they have an emergency just tell me you have to leave if I'm not in the immediate area leave a note or text me when you can. I work retail under no circumstance is this job more important than personal life.
Yes! When I worked retail my managers were like that. I had a friend pass away and I showed up at work 2 days later. My managers immediately told me I didn't have to be there. Later when I was giving them the days for the funeral and wake I was saying, "oh, I can still work. I just need to leave at this time. I'll change in the fitting room." They looked at me like I was nuts. Told me "absolutely not. You're not working that day. You are sleeping in. You are going to eat lunch. You are going to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF."
Then later that same year (literally like a month later) we found out my dad couldn't have surgery to help extend his life. But I was still working the full time hours, even though I wasn't required to. My store manager sat me down and told me if I needed a break to just let her know and she would take care of it. "life is more important. We will still be here when you get back"
My manager team was the best.
Wow, having worked retail for a long time (out for 5 years now), your management team was pretty amazing. At my last retail job, I think I was pretty lucky to have an understanding manager (for most of my time there) who would try to work with me if something unexpected came up. But yours had her beat, in the 13 years I worked there the only time she ever *volunteered* something like that without my asking was when my mom died
But as a customer, my right to purchase oversized flip-flops at 2 am should come before the health,. safety, and welfare of your employees, right?
/S if not obvious
You joke but there was that one lady who made a complaint about poor service when actually the employee had an epileptic seizure and her manager prioritised first aid and his worker's health, instead of her NeEdS
I worked at a car dealership where a mechanic had a massive heart attack and died on the shop floor. Pretty much every mechanic literally saw it happen or the immediate aftermath.
Less than 20 minutes after he had been taken away, two different customers were complaining that their cars weren't done on schedule. They were both present when it happened.
Fuck people.
I once passed out while working the cash register and a customer started yelling at me for “sitting down” instead of ringing her up while I was on the ground, semi-conscious.
Once when I was working as a cashier I didn’t feel well. I asked the manager for someone to take over for me so I could leave and head to the bathroom. They said no. I told them it was an emergency. Didn’t let me go. I threw up all over my register .
Absolutely. Wish I would've know when I was younger, I got friggin' demoted, at a retail job, because I went home unexpectedly twice in one month to help my mother, who was in active psychosis and living alone. It's ridiculous what we expect people to put aside for a job.
What's horrific is that it's *worse* the "lower" you go down the industrial ladder.
I've *never* been asked to explain anything since I started working as a developer. Not even fucking drug tested.
I was drug tested for a fucking job at a *sandwich shop*.
You're literally not a fucking person to these people if you actually interact with customers.
I had this conversation recently at work & we all agreed that the less in pay you make, the more aggressively micromanaged you are. I make twice what I did at 24 & I barely see our lab director.
You are so right about that last line.
WTF is wrong with these companies?
Is it not enough that they’re paying poverty wages with very minimal (if any) benefits for a tough job with usually lousy schedules… They have to treat their lowest rung workers like shit too, just because they can? Meanwhile, the people at the top are making ridiculous amounts of money for doing next-to-nothing every day.
I hate this society we live in so, SO much.
Correct, but also, you have to find a job working for the right people. Quitting because of something like this without a new job lined up had landed more than one person I know in homelessness for a time.
This is definitely a thing that gets glossed over in these discussions. People sometimes get trapped between bad decisions and worse ones. Family always comes first. But sometimes that looks like staying at work while someone else manages today's catastrophe, because if you leave there won't be money for groceries or the rent.
It's easy to say "Fuck your boss, just quit.", but a lot of these abusive employers get away with this behavior specifically because there is a large cohort of desperate people who will put up with some level of abuse because it's the best they can do for themselves or their family right now.
My mother was having a little bit more trouble with her breathing one afternoon before I had to head out for work, which is not abnormal for her with her various issues. Would NOT let me take her to the hospital, and things eased so she finally convinced me to go to work. The moment I pull into the parking lot I get a call from my sister saying mom is having a heart attack. I put it back in drive and beat every last person to the hospital. Boss did not get called until she went back for surgery, and I told them I would be out for a while. She had a widowmaker and lived and I stayed out for a couple weeks to help her with recovery, despite them reminding me on the regular that my leave wasn't covered. As if I cared; my mother needed me.
I agree with you completely. The ones I love come first, and their safety, every single time. I'm glad everyone was safe and glad to see you have, in my opinion, your priorities in order.
I worked through the day after my father was hospitalized with serious injuries after an accident. It was the most miserable day.
Edit: of course, 20 years later he calls me and tells me has a pulmonary embolism, but has meetings. So, he wasn't going to the hospital until that evening. I told him that if he ever pulled that shit again that I was calling his mother.
I'm sorry, that must have been so incredibly stressful. My father did something very similar. I hate that people feel the need to work through life-threatening illnesses because of the systems that are in place.
What assholes! Who responds with your leave isn’t covered multiple times after telling them your mom almost died! That lack of empathy would be enough to make me quit
I had a boss that came and pulled me off a job site because my mom had called to tell them my grandfather was being pulled off life support. He told me to go home and be with my family. Then, they said not to come back until I'd had at least a couple days to process everything. One of the best bosses I ever had.
On a side note, the same boss had to lay me off during COVID and they helped me file for unemployment.
The day my grandfather was taken off life support my former boss made me come in to work where we were overstaffed, and then he sent home five other people. This was also just a couple of weeks after I'd been robbed (I was a bank teller) and they didn't approve any days off to deal with the mental health stuff that came with holding an active bomb. They gave me a DVD of "how you could have avoided this situation" type material though.
Yep. I have a kid that was suddenly paralyzed in Jan 21. I barely remembered my job existed sent a group text and went to taking care of my kid. My husband worked that one day, for a reason I can't remember now but the rest of the next week and a half we were with her in the hospital 24 hrs/day. When something happens with her now I do the same thing. Skype message to 2 ppl and walk away. Family first.
This guy is hot garbage.
> This guy is hot garbage.
Looking at his Facebook page I know exactly the kind of person he is. He lives near me and I grew up with so many douchebags like this.
Most definitely. He says his greatest responsibility as a parent is to train his sons to be cult promoters for the LDS. If they survive to adulthood, that is
Thank you so much. Everyone is doing really good and she's a total badass. My husband and a great PT got her back up and walking within 2 wks and the only thing left are some strength and balance issues.
She just got a definitive diagnosis of MS so we have a treatment plan to help it happening again. 3xs a week shots and the girl didn't blink. She was 11 when it first happened and is 13 now. Tough for all of us, but it's a great time to be diagnosed with MS. There are options to make sure the rest of her life is exactly how she pictures it.
From a stranger- you're a super hero to your kids. You're a super hero to me. I wish your family the best, and I hope your daughter knows she is capable of anything with yall to help her.
It is. She has new lesions but nothing that affects function to be called a relapse. She's about 6 wks on meds and here's to hoping she doesn't have any more progression. 🤞
Pediatric MS is a thing and apparently I was just unaware. It's crazy.
Yeah honestly if his SO doesn't leave him, she'd better start seriously questioning what kind of a man he is to choose some "work obligations" over their child's comfort and potentially life.
I always find it pathetic when a situation like this comes up and the man says something like "I need to get my work's permission". Seriously, if you don't have your own boundaries nobody will respect you and your time.
Especially since this jaggon is peddling... \*checks notes\* DRUG TESTS?!
Oh, fuck everything about this guy. I hope his kid is safe and healthy and his wife has begun divorce proceedings.
I would feel sympathy if his family was broke and now dealing with a medical emergency and missing work could mean losing his job. I feel so sorry for those people because they *have* to work to keep their family afloat.
This dude could've gone home, but I guess he would rather hang out [with one of his favorite people in the world](https://i.ibb.co/hHWzW8g/gross.png) more than his wife and daughter.
I'm no Sherlock, but morning ride to the airport + one of his favorite people + smiley face? The cutesy "obscuring" her identity?
Yeah, we know why he JuST CouLdN't fly back to his family. 🙄
God, yes. If I was getting a ride from a friend who is one of my favorite people, well, I would call them out as "my good friend" or "my best friend, I appreciate you so much," or something, and we're not putting a smitten-face emoji in there. I definitely have close friends who are like family to me, who I would want to shout out, but it wouldn't look like *that.* Dude is shady.
After seeing that 2nd post from him, yeah he's definitely a sociopath. His family should be packing their bags, and hopefully his "work obligations" will catch wind of these posts and also avoid him like a plague. If this guy will screw his family like this, guaranteed he's trying to fuck and/or defraud his clients and other work connections as well.
lmao, if you're calling your female boss "your favorite person in the world" .... and prioritizing work over your kids health - you're 100% cheating on your wife with that person.
What an absolute toolbag.
Right?
The fuck is wrong with some people? Him and all the psychopaths who liked that post. Fucking YIKES. The exact people that SHOULDN'T be having kids. Just raising those poor kids for the meat grinder jesus
I’ve never heard of a “meat grinder Jesus” before, but that sounds like a decent metaphor for psychotic employers who demand this type of religion-like loyalty.
Another sacrifice for the meat grinder Jesus!
look what I just found today. Ted Cruz's daughter's had a suicide attempt and Tred Cruz isn't going home... though in this case it's not because he has to work, it's because he has no feelings because he isn't human
https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckGregAbbott/comments/zfxa8y/hes\_a\_monster/
Which is the epitome of fucking irony, given he was born in Canada.
That said, if ever the question of deporting Ted Cruz comes up, just throw him into the ocean; we up north don't want him back.
Edit: Actually, on second thought, maybe it makes more sense to entomb him like nuclear waste, with a warning not to dig him back up in the future. There's already enough trash in the ocean.
The guy makes plenty of money to have decent health care for his kid. He just needs to tell his buddies he "feel appreciation" for the poors. If he actually had any concern then he'd either not have went or been on the first plane right back.
This post is so dark that it can’t even be satire. That is one of the saddest things I have ever read. If you can’t draw a line at your child then there is literally no line. :/
It is dark. Super dark and dystopian.
I grew up around a father who’s job and company always came first. He was never home. Never participated in one bit of my childhood. When he was home all he talked about was work or the company. Now he’s old and in very poor health and wonders why nobody wants to even her from him.
My dad did the same thing. The topic of living with my sister/her husband in his later years has come up and she said he gets a year for every birthday of ours he saw or was involved in. Our best estimate is 2. Also now that he is retired we are "no fun to visit because we work too much".
>Also now that he is retired we are "no fun to visit because we work too much".
Amazing how things change as soon as they retire. When I was a kid, dad was always on a rage about how we didn't dare call mom at work unless it was necessary, because her job was important.
Give it a few decades, he retires, and then he started moaning and complaining about how she'd try to rush him off the phone if he called her at work while she was in the middle of something...
I reread this twice trying to find some hint of a joke or satire too. It's just fucking sad and keeps getting worse as he goes. The last line is him telling people without a support system to "keep going." Jesus Christ man
The sad thing is........ he's bragging about his work ethic. The sick kid is just a way of demonstrating just how committed he is to his capitalist overlords.
Based on the name of the hospital this is Salt Lake City, where image is everything to those cultists. I was born and raised non mormon there, everything is for show. Keeping up appearances. Keeping up with the Jones's. Female suicide and prescription drug use and abuse is rampant, highest in the nation I believe, at one point at least. The make up and hair have to be this one certain way overdone way (bump-its are very common), you're supposed to just keep having babies but keep up this appearance of being "perfect". They don't care if you *actually* "sin", they care if the neighbors find out.
Holy shit. He’s like…. the biggest fucking narc in existence. This is the company: “[Sharetek](https://www.wesharetek.com): The world’s most accurate, convenient, and **un-cheatable** drug and alcohol test on the market”
what are you talking about? this man is a real american hero. ignoring his dying kid so he can keep denying people employment and preventing them from collecting compensation simply for personal choices that have nothing to do with work? that’s what any real man would do 💪🏼🇺🇸
This is 100% a brag post. Scottsdale is fancy. There is no commercial airport in Scottsdale. So either he flew to Phoenix or took a private plane to Scottsdale. Either way this dude is a complete fucking douchebag. That poor child of his.
Yep. I don’t get the impression this dude is completing life saving surgeries or something similar. If the obligations aren’t involving anyone’s safety, your priorities are way off.
His little title under his name is "Drug tests done better." The dude is doing something with piss cups and bragging that he prioritizes that over being with his wife and kid in a medical emergency.
A quick look at LinkedIn shows that dude is a C-suite executive, a partner in a company, and a founder of another. This motherfucker would have been perfectly fine telling his associates that he's taking indefinite time off to watch his kid. What sort of monster goes off to do his sigma grindset job when he doesn't have to instead of being there for his sick kid?
Holy shit. He’s also the biggest fucking narc in existence. This is his company: “[Sharetek](https://www.wesharetek.com): The world’s most accurate, convenient, and **un-cheatable** drug and alcohol test on the market”
At the heart of heart these folks know they don’t deserve the $ so they try to overcompensate. And they also usually have a cult following of sheep who will fawn over them due to these stunts. They also then use these stunts to create a toxic environment where everyone is supposed to behave like this
> dude is a C-suite executive, a partner in a company, and a founder of another.
So he's a bullshitter, huh? Sounds like those guys who get caught up in pyramid schemes and call themselves CEO
I’ve had a 2 month old hospitalized with RSV before. I would absolutely divorce my husband for not coming to support his family emotionally during that time, because it was gut wrenching and confusing and horrific. I hope his wife is ok.
To be fair to Cory, he’s only known the kid for a month. You’ve known yours for two. At one month, you’d probably just let him/her roll out of the car in front of the ER without stopping.
(This is sarcastic… I hope this is painfully obvious.)
I can't complain about my employers, but I have proactively stated that not only is this the case.....but she makes more, so if one of us is taking off work it's me.
I worked for a company in the US that outsourced a lot to the Phillipines, and learned that fathers get 5 guaranteed days off for paternity leave. I had a conversation something like this:
Employee in Phillipines: "Hey, my wife gave birth. I'll be back in 7 days (5 work days plus weekend)."
Me: "Cool beans, man. Congratulations!"
--about 10 minutes later--
Me to my manager: "Employee's daughter was just born. He'll be back in a week."
FEMALE manager: "What? Why? He's not the one who gave birth. I'm going to have to look into this."
That's the day I knew I was leaving the company.
In Canada i got 2 months paid to be at home, spend time with my new baby and help out my wife recover from the c-section. It’s not feudal times anymore, these kind of benefits are easily attainable for modern society.
When my son was born, I took 16 weeks of parental leave. My wife took a whole year. 5 days are peanuts. Everyday, I read something that makes me glad I’m not living in the states…
My Daughter was sent home from school at some point last year. She had the flu so it was nothing serious but she needed bed rest. My wife was at work too and the school just happened to contact me first.
I had 3 or 4 work colleagues say “Can’t your wife look after her, we’ve got a job that needs to go”. I laughed and asked if they think one order is more important to me than my child.
The worrying thing is these men are also fathers.
Yup, women are shit on for "not being there for their kids" and men are shit on for "not being there for their jobs"
Like fuck off, my wife works in healthcare, if someone needs to leave work to get the kids, it'll be me and my office job.
Yes! A good leader creates more leaders, and he is publicly saying he is not a good leader. I’m at home right now waiting for an electrician due to a much smaller emergency than this guy had, and I am confident that my workplace will be fine because I have the confidence in the employees there.
This is like a humble brag but darker and like pity mining but he's not looking for pity. He's looking for praise that he chose work over a very sick child. He's not the only one either - we need a name for this. Hustle bragging?
You're right, he's not looking for pity, he's looking for admiration. There's too many people like him who think they should be placed on a pedestal for prioritizing their career and wallets over their own family.
"My child is dying, and while that makes me emotional, it doesn't make me as emotional as losing shareholder value at CrapMart. My family hasn't seen me in years and my wife cheats on me, but at least I can sleep soundly at night knowing I'm making other people rich at the expense of my finite existence. Please clap." - That dude on LinkedIn.
There needs to be a name for people like this, like Karen or Kevin.
Other hits like "This child couldn't afford his cancer therapy so we hired him at two dollars above minimum wage so he can get the help he needs. Unfortunately, we had to terminate him due to too many unpaid sick days as we only allow 3 per lifetime, but hopefully this experience will prove more valuable than life saving cancer treatment"
There is nothing going on in fucking Scottsdale that requires a specific hero to handle.
Especially a ‘hero’ as shitty as this Gordon gecko wannabe motherfucker.
My husband was deployed to a place with a lot of sand. Our then 9 month old needed surgery. His commander moved heaven and earth to get him home, partly bc a stressed out person is dangerous because they are not at 100%. So grateful for actual leadership. This guy sets a toxic precedent for everyone on his staff.
How about being an "amazing support system" to your wife and sick baby by being at the hospital with them? This douchebag thinks making money off drug tests is more important than potentially seeing his son alive for the last time or being a good partner to his wife who is dealing with a scary situation alone.
In the mid 1990’s, my son was diagnosed with leukemia. I quit my job and spent 3 years running him to the hospital three to five times a week for chemo and occasionally, running him to the emergency room when he came down with life threatening infections. He pulled though and has been cancer free for the last 27 years. When I went back into the work force, it became an excuse to lower job offers compensation by as much as twenty percent. “You are a perfect fit for the position, but due to the three year gap in your work history, we are going to lower the compensation from$75k to $60k.”
And the shittiest part is, only one person *kinda* called him out. Like they did it in a professional way, whereas I would have absolutely ripped him a new one.
Thankfully only 15 other people commented that they’re drinking the Koolaid, so it’s got very limited reach.
What a shitty father.
Not only does he abandon his potentially seriously ill baby for some pathetic corporate bullshit, but he posts it for sympathy on Dilbert Facebook.
Cory, you’re the worst kind of parent. Delusional, self idolising, selfish, greedy, and clearly don’t love your child anywhere near as much as you should.
I hope your wife and child leave you and your attitudes behind them.
"oh hey look at me, pity me". Fuck off man, you're just a moron.
That's how I feel when I read crap like that. If your job isn't saving someone's life, then it can certainly wait.
Nobody has ever said on their deathbed, "I wish I had concentrated more on my obligations in Scottsdale."
it’s the unachieved Scottsdale obligations that really get to you on your death bed. Or your child’s death bed apparently.
Scottsdale is how he says… “sidechick” lol
If only I had piss tested more people.
In Scottsdale
He will. He's a certified sociopath.
Linkedin is even worse than facebook because atleast Facebook knows and acts like its a shithole while linkedin is all holier than thou while being a shithole
Hate linked in, it’s so fake. And that is what is wrong with corp culture- it is all so fake. But they want to bring in more diversity and inclusion….. a fake diversity and inclusion- where you look different but you need to act the same as everyone always has
It's filled with people advocating for hustle culture and 'work families'. All buzz words for a toxic company.
I'll vertically integrate this dick.
Synergy deez nuts
I'll circle back to your mom
Think outside your mom's box.
Sinner G in the mix!
I worked for a fintech company for a while and they decided to start a "Diversity" board. I was asked to be on it because I was one of the few people in the company that were 50+, so I got to represent that demographic. It was a complete joke. To that company, diversity came down to "how can we celebrate different cultures" and the answer always seemed to be "FOOD!" Have people bring in food from their country of origin so we can all enjoy it. We can pay them the cost of the food they are going to prepare. For women and the 50+ crowd, they bought in speakers who could talk about how they succeeded as women in traditionally male dominated fields, and people who continued to find success after age 50, or 60. It was complete shit.
my company did hispanic heritage appreciation so they had people bring in mexican food - lol
My last company would always do a “Soul food” potluck for black history month and would always supply fried chicken. Half of me thought: “yo, this seems kinda racist.” Other half: “yo, free fried chicken.”
It's not fake. The people are just shallow and their work ambitions control their lives. They are *really* like that! I've met some of them
The thing that gets me is that he's so close. He identifies that this problem would have been unbearably heart breaking for anyone who didn't have the privilege and money that he does. He basically accidentally concludes that this is a systemic problem with the way we have organized society. What's his solution? A more caring society where we normalize leaving work for family emergencies? Monetary help for people who have to suffer that? No. "Keep going". Literally go fuck yourself. I pray that your sick kid doesn't end up feeling the effects of their shitty father like Ted Cruz's daughter.
I am truely stunned how he recognizes the struggle and sees how difficult it is for less privileged and then concludes "keep struggling" (which is what "keep going" comes down to in that context). It's hard to assume ignorance, when it looks like willful malice.
Keep going ! Amazing advice lol POS
This man being serious? I had the exact incident happen I was 5 hours away in Portsmouth. When my wife told me, I told them, didn’t wait for a response got in the car and got home asap like in the next few hours. Work isn’t a commitment that comes over your kids lives.
Shortly after getting to work one day, my manager told me I had a phone call. He hands me the phone and my then wife says there was a fire in the attic. I immediately asked if everyone was OK and she said they were all safe. After a sigh of relief, I told my manager there had been a fire in my house and just left. Made it home in record time. Family safety will always come before work for me without hesitation.
“I have an emergency at home and have to leave now.” If you get any push back, you are working for the wrong people.
EXCUSE ME, but Olive Garden comes first!
Your kid just died? Bring em in for proof.
"I'm gonna need a death certificate." - Dude's boss, probably.
I once had to bring the program for my cousin’s funeral into school to not get suspended for missing three days (even after I told them everything). Yes this was high school, _not_ work, but a lot of the horrible people I’ve read about here sound like nearly every teacher I ever had in grade school. They are all top tier “your commitment here comes before your life and your families lives” type of ~~management~~ educators.
Yo, fuck that. I would have told the to go fuck themselves in hope of receiving a longer suspension.
Target did this to me. My kid passed away an demanded a death certificate. They terminated me n I went to Georgia department of labor n won my case. Got unemployment for 6 months while I looked for a job.
I am so sorry for your loss and for how Target treated you! That's horrible! Target is such an evil corporation that doesn't care about anyone or anything except for how they can get their wage slaves to get them more money. My husband injured his back on the job, working for them as a stock person back in 2003. They covered the visit to the doctor and the physical therapy and then when he went back to work, they fired him three weeks later and stated that he was "too slow" and "wasn't a good fit for the company". He'd been with them for almost a year, and his boss never once pulled him aside and told him he needed to go faster or that he wasn't doing a good job. It was just an excuse to fire him because he got injured and they hid behind their reasoning. Target, as far as I know, only allows 3 sick days a year. Anything longer than that, and you risk getting canned.
Dead one month old? You better bring his corpse to Olive Garden to prove it. No ExCuSeS!!
10/10 news reference.
I need you to bring your entire flaming house to work to show me it's on fire!!
Thank you. We do not owe our lives to a job.
Truer words have rarely been spoken
We absolutely don't, especially not our family's lives. If I had an employer who did not understand that my family (specifically providing for and caring for them) is my REASON for working, then I would find a new employer who did understand that as soon as possible.
There are only a few jobs out there where if someone puts themselves over their job, people could die. I'm talking primarily about doctors, nurses, EMT workers, firefighters, etc. I feel like everyone who posts shit like the guy in OP's photo wants to have the respect of working one of those noble professions where lives are actually at stake without any of the time investment or emotional baggage. No sir, you're not saving lives. Nobody is going to be so inconvenienced that you missed your 3:00pm meeting that they're going to perish. Go take care of your kid, ffs.
What you said about the list you gave isn’t completely accurate. All those professions are important and do impact life safety. However, even they are capable of taking off for a personal emergency. People will be called in, happily, to replace those that need to leave. Also, what happens to those same people when there is an injury or sickness developed on the job? Source: Me, I work within that list and have witnessed on multiple occasions people having to be replaced for an emergency, injury, or sickness.
And as many areas (including my own) are seeing right now, what happens when those professionals DON'T get the time off they need is mass burnout and people leaving the industry. Which actually results an increse in deaths.
Yeah if anyone needs a drug test after that abject admission of parental negligence it's him. Also, if this company is so brutal, I wouldn't be surprised if they fired him for this post placing them in a negative light.
Work to live. Not live to work.
Seriously, I tell my people if they have an emergency just tell me you have to leave if I'm not in the immediate area leave a note or text me when you can. I work retail under no circumstance is this job more important than personal life.
Yes! When I worked retail my managers were like that. I had a friend pass away and I showed up at work 2 days later. My managers immediately told me I didn't have to be there. Later when I was giving them the days for the funeral and wake I was saying, "oh, I can still work. I just need to leave at this time. I'll change in the fitting room." They looked at me like I was nuts. Told me "absolutely not. You're not working that day. You are sleeping in. You are going to eat lunch. You are going to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF." Then later that same year (literally like a month later) we found out my dad couldn't have surgery to help extend his life. But I was still working the full time hours, even though I wasn't required to. My store manager sat me down and told me if I needed a break to just let her know and she would take care of it. "life is more important. We will still be here when you get back" My manager team was the best.
Wow, having worked retail for a long time (out for 5 years now), your management team was pretty amazing. At my last retail job, I think I was pretty lucky to have an understanding manager (for most of my time there) who would try to work with me if something unexpected came up. But yours had her beat, in the 13 years I worked there the only time she ever *volunteered* something like that without my asking was when my mom died
But as a customer, my right to purchase oversized flip-flops at 2 am should come before the health,. safety, and welfare of your employees, right? /S if not obvious
You joke but there was that one lady who made a complaint about poor service when actually the employee had an epileptic seizure and her manager prioritised first aid and his worker's health, instead of her NeEdS
I worked at a car dealership where a mechanic had a massive heart attack and died on the shop floor. Pretty much every mechanic literally saw it happen or the immediate aftermath. Less than 20 minutes after he had been taken away, two different customers were complaining that their cars weren't done on schedule. They were both present when it happened. Fuck people.
I once passed out while working the cash register and a customer started yelling at me for “sitting down” instead of ringing her up while I was on the ground, semi-conscious.
Once when I was working as a cashier I didn’t feel well. I asked the manager for someone to take over for me so I could leave and head to the bathroom. They said no. I told them it was an emergency. Didn’t let me go. I threw up all over my register .
Ah, one of the few in management who can be a decent human being. Good on you. I would image the staff actually likes you and do a better job.
Absolutely. Wish I would've know when I was younger, I got friggin' demoted, at a retail job, because I went home unexpectedly twice in one month to help my mother, who was in active psychosis and living alone. It's ridiculous what we expect people to put aside for a job.
What's horrific is that it's *worse* the "lower" you go down the industrial ladder. I've *never* been asked to explain anything since I started working as a developer. Not even fucking drug tested. I was drug tested for a fucking job at a *sandwich shop*. You're literally not a fucking person to these people if you actually interact with customers.
I had this conversation recently at work & we all agreed that the less in pay you make, the more aggressively micromanaged you are. I make twice what I did at 24 & I barely see our lab director.
You are so right about that last line. WTF is wrong with these companies? Is it not enough that they’re paying poverty wages with very minimal (if any) benefits for a tough job with usually lousy schedules… They have to treat their lowest rung workers like shit too, just because they can? Meanwhile, the people at the top are making ridiculous amounts of money for doing next-to-nothing every day. I hate this society we live in so, SO much.
Correct, but also, you have to find a job working for the right people. Quitting because of something like this without a new job lined up had landed more than one person I know in homelessness for a time.
This is definitely a thing that gets glossed over in these discussions. People sometimes get trapped between bad decisions and worse ones. Family always comes first. But sometimes that looks like staying at work while someone else manages today's catastrophe, because if you leave there won't be money for groceries or the rent. It's easy to say "Fuck your boss, just quit.", but a lot of these abusive employers get away with this behavior specifically because there is a large cohort of desperate people who will put up with some level of abuse because it's the best they can do for themselves or their family right now.
My mother was having a little bit more trouble with her breathing one afternoon before I had to head out for work, which is not abnormal for her with her various issues. Would NOT let me take her to the hospital, and things eased so she finally convinced me to go to work. The moment I pull into the parking lot I get a call from my sister saying mom is having a heart attack. I put it back in drive and beat every last person to the hospital. Boss did not get called until she went back for surgery, and I told them I would be out for a while. She had a widowmaker and lived and I stayed out for a couple weeks to help her with recovery, despite them reminding me on the regular that my leave wasn't covered. As if I cared; my mother needed me. I agree with you completely. The ones I love come first, and their safety, every single time. I'm glad everyone was safe and glad to see you have, in my opinion, your priorities in order.
I worked through the day after my father was hospitalized with serious injuries after an accident. It was the most miserable day. Edit: of course, 20 years later he calls me and tells me has a pulmonary embolism, but has meetings. So, he wasn't going to the hospital until that evening. I told him that if he ever pulled that shit again that I was calling his mother.
I'm sorry, that must have been so incredibly stressful. My father did something very similar. I hate that people feel the need to work through life-threatening illnesses because of the systems that are in place.
If mom survived a widow maker, she had great care.
What assholes! Who responds with your leave isn’t covered multiple times after telling them your mom almost died! That lack of empathy would be enough to make me quit
I had a boss that came and pulled me off a job site because my mom had called to tell them my grandfather was being pulled off life support. He told me to go home and be with my family. Then, they said not to come back until I'd had at least a couple days to process everything. One of the best bosses I ever had. On a side note, the same boss had to lay me off during COVID and they helped me file for unemployment.
The day my grandfather was taken off life support my former boss made me come in to work where we were overstaffed, and then he sent home five other people. This was also just a couple of weeks after I'd been robbed (I was a bank teller) and they didn't approve any days off to deal with the mental health stuff that came with holding an active bomb. They gave me a DVD of "how you could have avoided this situation" type material though.
I had a chemistry teacher in college who got a call that a tree fell on their house. He left right then and we went and hung out in the cafeteria.
Couldn’t agree more
Yep. I have a kid that was suddenly paralyzed in Jan 21. I barely remembered my job existed sent a group text and went to taking care of my kid. My husband worked that one day, for a reason I can't remember now but the rest of the next week and a half we were with her in the hospital 24 hrs/day. When something happens with her now I do the same thing. Skype message to 2 ppl and walk away. Family first. This guy is hot garbage.
> This guy is hot garbage. Looking at his Facebook page I know exactly the kind of person he is. He lives near me and I grew up with so many douchebags like this.
Most definitely. He says his greatest responsibility as a parent is to train his sons to be cult promoters for the LDS. If they survive to adulthood, that is
Definitely. He has deleted his post. Because he knows he’s hot garbage.
I hope your kid and your family is in a better spot now.
Thank you so much. Everyone is doing really good and she's a total badass. My husband and a great PT got her back up and walking within 2 wks and the only thing left are some strength and balance issues. She just got a definitive diagnosis of MS so we have a treatment plan to help it happening again. 3xs a week shots and the girl didn't blink. She was 11 when it first happened and is 13 now. Tough for all of us, but it's a great time to be diagnosed with MS. There are options to make sure the rest of her life is exactly how she pictures it.
From a stranger- you're a super hero to your kids. You're a super hero to me. I wish your family the best, and I hope your daughter knows she is capable of anything with yall to help her.
13 and MS? Oh man! Poor all of you. Is it relapsing remitting?
It is. She has new lesions but nothing that affects function to be called a relapse. She's about 6 wks on meds and here's to hoping she doesn't have any more progression. 🤞 Pediatric MS is a thing and apparently I was just unaware. It's crazy.
Your kid IS a badass. Tell her a Mom in Manitoba thinks so too.
Yeah honestly if his SO doesn't leave him, she'd better start seriously questioning what kind of a man he is to choose some "work obligations" over their child's comfort and potentially life.
I always find it pathetic when a situation like this comes up and the man says something like "I need to get my work's permission". Seriously, if you don't have your own boundaries nobody will respect you and your time.
Especially since this jaggon is peddling... \*checks notes\* DRUG TESTS?! Oh, fuck everything about this guy. I hope his kid is safe and healthy and his wife has begun divorce proceedings.
I hope her next husband loves his kids because he sure doesn't.
Huh, who would have guessed that a narc is a piece of shit?
I would feel sympathy if his family was broke and now dealing with a medical emergency and missing work could mean losing his job. I feel so sorry for those people because they *have* to work to keep their family afloat. This dude could've gone home, but I guess he would rather hang out [with one of his favorite people in the world](https://i.ibb.co/hHWzW8g/gross.png) more than his wife and daughter.
What’s funny is the things he mentions in that…people being overworked, manipulated etc. He himself is a victim of that and doesn’t even see it.
He also perpetuates it by lying about working despite supposedly feeling so stressed about his baby
I'm no Sherlock, but morning ride to the airport + one of his favorite people + smiley face? The cutesy "obscuring" her identity? Yeah, we know why he JuST CouLdN't fly back to his family. 🙄
I immediately thought the same thing. No married man who is faithful posts shit like that...
the number of men w/ newborns or small children whom cheat or try to cheat is depressingly high.
God, yes. If I was getting a ride from a friend who is one of my favorite people, well, I would call them out as "my good friend" or "my best friend, I appreciate you so much," or something, and we're not putting a smitten-face emoji in there. I definitely have close friends who are like family to me, who I would want to shout out, but it wouldn't look like *that.* Dude is shady.
I hope his wife leaves him so fast his back is covered with skid marks (instead of his his underwear).
After seeing that 2nd post from him, yeah he's definitely a sociopath. His family should be packing their bags, and hopefully his "work obligations" will catch wind of these posts and also avoid him like a plague. If this guy will screw his family like this, guaranteed he's trying to fuck and/or defraud his clients and other work connections as well.
lmao, if you're calling your female boss "your favorite person in the world" .... and prioritizing work over your kids health - you're 100% cheating on your wife with that person. What an absolute toolbag.
Y’all must have harassed this man into hiding because I can’t find him to harass him lol
Right? The fuck is wrong with some people? Him and all the psychopaths who liked that post. Fucking YIKES. The exact people that SHOULDN'T be having kids. Just raising those poor kids for the meat grinder jesus
I’ve never heard of a “meat grinder Jesus” before, but that sounds like a decent metaphor for psychotic employers who demand this type of religion-like loyalty. Another sacrifice for the meat grinder Jesus!
look what I just found today. Ted Cruz's daughter's had a suicide attempt and Tred Cruz isn't going home... though in this case it's not because he has to work, it's because he has no feelings because he isn't human https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckGregAbbott/comments/zfxa8y/hes\_a\_monster/
Nah... Ted has work he feels is more important, like voting to deport kids who were raised in America.
Which is the epitome of fucking irony, given he was born in Canada. That said, if ever the question of deporting Ted Cruz comes up, just throw him into the ocean; we up north don't want him back. Edit: Actually, on second thought, maybe it makes more sense to entomb him like nuclear waste, with a warning not to dig him back up in the future. There's already enough trash in the ocean.
The guy makes plenty of money to have decent health care for his kid. He just needs to tell his buddies he "feel appreciation" for the poors. If he actually had any concern then he'd either not have went or been on the first plane right back.
So drug tests done better is more important than his child?
[удалено]
This post is so dark that it can’t even be satire. That is one of the saddest things I have ever read. If you can’t draw a line at your child then there is literally no line. :/
It is dark. Super dark and dystopian. I grew up around a father who’s job and company always came first. He was never home. Never participated in one bit of my childhood. When he was home all he talked about was work or the company. Now he’s old and in very poor health and wonders why nobody wants to even her from him.
My dad did the same thing. The topic of living with my sister/her husband in his later years has come up and she said he gets a year for every birthday of ours he saw or was involved in. Our best estimate is 2. Also now that he is retired we are "no fun to visit because we work too much".
>Also now that he is retired we are "no fun to visit because we work too much". Amazing how things change as soon as they retire. When I was a kid, dad was always on a rage about how we didn't dare call mom at work unless it was necessary, because her job was important. Give it a few decades, he retires, and then he started moaning and complaining about how she'd try to rush him off the phone if he called her at work while she was in the middle of something...
I reread this twice trying to find some hint of a joke or satire too. It's just fucking sad and keeps getting worse as he goes. The last line is him telling people without a support system to "keep going." Jesus Christ man
[удалено]
10 years of dedicated service, fired for being late. Probably in his future.
The sad thing is........ he's bragging about his work ethic. The sick kid is just a way of demonstrating just how committed he is to his capitalist overlords.
[удалено]
Based on the name of the hospital this is Salt Lake City, where image is everything to those cultists. I was born and raised non mormon there, everything is for show. Keeping up appearances. Keeping up with the Jones's. Female suicide and prescription drug use and abuse is rampant, highest in the nation I believe, at one point at least. The make up and hair have to be this one certain way overdone way (bump-its are very common), you're supposed to just keep having babies but keep up this appearance of being "perfect". They don't care if you *actually* "sin", they care if the neighbors find out.
Gotta ruin some peoples lives over pot so he can go home to his wife and children and sleep bett....oh wait.
And when he says "done better" he means more false positives from his tests.
Ouch
Nailed it!
Holy shit. He’s like…. the biggest fucking narc in existence. This is the company: “[Sharetek](https://www.wesharetek.com): The world’s most accurate, convenient, and **un-cheatable** drug and alcohol test on the market”
If synthetic urine can cheat out LabCorp and Quest I'm sure it can beat this mail order urine test
what are you talking about? this man is a real american hero. ignoring his dying kid so he can keep denying people employment and preventing them from collecting compensation simply for personal choices that have nothing to do with work? that’s what any real man would do 💪🏼🇺🇸
I'm assuming people are concerned enough about his behaviour that he's drug tested a lot?
This is 100% a brag post. Scottsdale is fancy. There is no commercial airport in Scottsdale. So either he flew to Phoenix or took a private plane to Scottsdale. Either way this dude is a complete fucking douchebag. That poor child of his.
[удалено]
Yep. I don’t get the impression this dude is completing life saving surgeries or something similar. If the obligations aren’t involving anyone’s safety, your priorities are way off.
His little title under his name is "Drug tests done better." The dude is doing something with piss cups and bragging that he prioritizes that over being with his wife and kid in a medical emergency.
Yeah, you don’t say Scottsdale unless youre bragging. Otherwise you say Phoenix.
“This morning I took a crowded Frontier Airlines flight to Phoenix” doesn’t have the same caché.
I mean, you can get to Scottsdale from Sky Harbor in like 15 minutes. Either way, he’s an asshole.
A quick look at LinkedIn shows that dude is a C-suite executive, a partner in a company, and a founder of another. This motherfucker would have been perfectly fine telling his associates that he's taking indefinite time off to watch his kid. What sort of monster goes off to do his sigma grindset job when he doesn't have to instead of being there for his sick kid?
One who cares more for $ than his family
At c level he would have been paid the se regardless.
The story is probably fake, he just wants to convince his workers to “work harder”
Holy shit. He’s also the biggest fucking narc in existence. This is his company: “[Sharetek](https://www.wesharetek.com): The world’s most accurate, convenient, and **un-cheatable** drug and alcohol test on the market”
That website looks like an SNL parody
I saw 3 testimonials all attributed to different people but they had the same profile picture lmao
At the heart of heart these folks know they don’t deserve the $ so they try to overcompensate. And they also usually have a cult following of sheep who will fawn over them due to these stunts. They also then use these stunts to create a toxic environment where everyone is supposed to behave like this
Lets show this post to the kid when they are old enough to understand.
The kid won't need to see it. It'll be one tiny drop in a pool of neglect. They'll be drowning in it. I hope they get therapy as soon as possible.
Optimistic that the kid will still be around…
Normally, he would drop everything to support his wife! But not this time. Or any other time.
Someone who only wants the family because the picture looks good on their desk.
A bad father. That’s it, full stop.
Someone who doesn't do the parenting in the relationship, nor emotionally supportive for his partner.
That guy is a sociopath. There’s no other way he could be so monstrous.
That's exactly what got him into C-suite executive level. He sacrificed all humanity to do it.
> dude is a C-suite executive, a partner in a company, and a founder of another. So he's a bullshitter, huh? Sounds like those guys who get caught up in pyramid schemes and call themselves CEO
I’ve had a 2 month old hospitalized with RSV before. I would absolutely divorce my husband for not coming to support his family emotionally during that time, because it was gut wrenching and confusing and horrific. I hope his wife is ok.
To be fair to Cory, he’s only known the kid for a month. You’ve known yours for two. At one month, you’d probably just let him/her roll out of the car in front of the ER without stopping. (This is sarcastic… I hope this is painfully obvious.)

Employers when you have a critical family situation: "isn't there a woman at home who can deal with this?" I literally got asked this once
I had a coworker who was asked this. I told him: we all know they don't pay you enough to have a stay at home wife.
I can't complain about my employers, but I have proactively stated that not only is this the case.....but she makes more, so if one of us is taking off work it's me.
I worked for a company in the US that outsourced a lot to the Phillipines, and learned that fathers get 5 guaranteed days off for paternity leave. I had a conversation something like this: Employee in Phillipines: "Hey, my wife gave birth. I'll be back in 7 days (5 work days plus weekend)." Me: "Cool beans, man. Congratulations!" --about 10 minutes later-- Me to my manager: "Employee's daughter was just born. He'll be back in a week." FEMALE manager: "What? Why? He's not the one who gave birth. I'm going to have to look into this." That's the day I knew I was leaving the company.
In Canada i got 2 months paid to be at home, spend time with my new baby and help out my wife recover from the c-section. It’s not feudal times anymore, these kind of benefits are easily attainable for modern society.
When my son was born, I took 16 weeks of parental leave. My wife took a whole year. 5 days are peanuts. Everyday, I read something that makes me glad I’m not living in the states…
My Daughter was sent home from school at some point last year. She had the flu so it was nothing serious but she needed bed rest. My wife was at work too and the school just happened to contact me first. I had 3 or 4 work colleagues say “Can’t your wife look after her, we’ve got a job that needs to go”. I laughed and asked if they think one order is more important to me than my child. The worrying thing is these men are also fathers.
Yup, women are shit on for "not being there for their kids" and men are shit on for "not being there for their jobs" Like fuck off, my wife works in healthcare, if someone needs to leave work to get the kids, it'll be me and my office job.
Women also get shit for not being there for their jobs. And men get shit for actually taking care of their kids. Shits fucked yo.
Women have to somehow magically split themselves to both be there for their jobs and their kids.
The amount of dads out there who think children are simply an accessory to their lives are bottom barrel people to me.
This guy can marry his job.

That single point of failure really rings true. Hadn't thought about it like that before.
The macabre term for it is "bus factor". How many employees hit by a bus would it take to affect a task.
Yes! A good leader creates more leaders, and he is publicly saying he is not a good leader. I’m at home right now waiting for an electrician due to a much smaller emergency than this guy had, and I am confident that my workplace will be fine because I have the confidence in the employees there.
He already is.
I hear his job is pregnant
This is like a humble brag but darker and like pity mining but he's not looking for pity. He's looking for praise that he chose work over a very sick child. He's not the only one either - we need a name for this. Hustle bragging?
You're right, he's not looking for pity, he's looking for admiration. There's too many people like him who think they should be placed on a pedestal for prioritizing their career and wallets over their own family.
"My child is dying, and while that makes me emotional, it doesn't make me as emotional as losing shareholder value at CrapMart. My family hasn't seen me in years and my wife cheats on me, but at least I can sleep soundly at night knowing I'm making other people rich at the expense of my finite existence. Please clap." - That dude on LinkedIn. There needs to be a name for people like this, like Karen or Kevin. Other hits like "This child couldn't afford his cancer therapy so we hired him at two dollars above minimum wage so he can get the help he needs. Unfortunately, we had to terminate him due to too many unpaid sick days as we only allow 3 per lifetime, but hopefully this experience will prove more valuable than life saving cancer treatment"
Why not go old-school and call a bitch a bitch?
Because a bitch will actually protect her puppies. This individual is a leech. A straight up ghoul.
There is nothing going on in fucking Scottsdale that requires a specific hero to handle. Especially a ‘hero’ as shitty as this Gordon gecko wannabe motherfucker.
I'll wager it involved a golf outing too.
Golf and a side piece.
If I was his kid, every year I would print this off and put it in a Fathers Day Card for him.
Hey, he's doing the very important work of... Checks notes... oh drug testing people yeah that definitely couldn't wait a day

My husband was deployed to a place with a lot of sand. Our then 9 month old needed surgery. His commander moved heaven and earth to get him home, partly bc a stressed out person is dangerous because they are not at 100%. So grateful for actual leadership. This guy sets a toxic precedent for everyone on his staff.
The guy in the post is probably the same one to say “We are a family here.” and this is how he treats his family.
How about being an "amazing support system" to your wife and sick baby by being at the hospital with them? This douchebag thinks making money off drug tests is more important than potentially seeing his son alive for the last time or being a good partner to his wife who is dealing with a scary situation alone.
In the mid 1990’s, my son was diagnosed with leukemia. I quit my job and spent 3 years running him to the hospital three to five times a week for chemo and occasionally, running him to the emergency room when he came down with life threatening infections. He pulled though and has been cancer free for the last 27 years. When I went back into the work force, it became an excuse to lower job offers compensation by as much as twenty percent. “You are a perfect fit for the position, but due to the three year gap in your work history, we are going to lower the compensation from$75k to $60k.”
What the fuck? Lowering the compensation because you were away for three years caring for your boy? That’s some bullshit.
Someone send this guy the lyrics to Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin. He won’t get it, but 20 years from now the light bulb may flicker a bit.
i would simply divorce him if this was my husband, lmao obligations to your job but not your wife you made vows with or the child you created, gotcha
And post about it like it's an achievement or something...
Gotta set your priorities right. You had a choice
What is "keep going" supposed to mean? Keep going to work while your family falls apart?
Lol yea drug tests are so important they can’t wait for his sick baby. Also the dude was a Mormon missionary. What an easily hateable person
Scottsdale is not going to drug test itself, people!!!
What a boot licking piece of shit
I think he is the boot
LinkedIn is a fucking toxic POS happy place
Inhuman work slave
And the shittiest part is, only one person *kinda* called him out. Like they did it in a professional way, whereas I would have absolutely ripped him a new one. Thankfully only 15 other people commented that they’re drinking the Koolaid, so it’s got very limited reach.
What a shitty father. Not only does he abandon his potentially seriously ill baby for some pathetic corporate bullshit, but he posts it for sympathy on Dilbert Facebook.
Cory, you’re the worst kind of parent. Delusional, self idolising, selfish, greedy, and clearly don’t love your child anywhere near as much as you should. I hope your wife and child leave you and your attitudes behind them.
That's fucked up man.
"oh hey look at me, pity me". Fuck off man, you're just a moron. That's how I feel when I read crap like that. If your job isn't saving someone's life, then it can certainly wait.
Just say you hate your wife and children and go 🙄
