Bro I am a manager myself and I dont trust my Manager. These shitty corporate structure are the worst.

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My manager is super nice and I know well that if it helps his career he would shank me in the bathrooms.

I'm pretty sure that this is the most high res version of this meme I've seen to date.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This ones been sitting on someone's hard drive since the early days of the meme, before compression artifacts rotted it.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

That or maybe AI cleanup

There are three things that claim they are family: relatives, work, and The Olive Garden. Out of those things, only one provides unlimited bread sticks. I know which one I'm going with.

[–] SnowBunting@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Can't go wrong with those bread sticks.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Reaply: My mother was abusive and my father left when I was 6. I don't want a family; I want a living wage.

I've never seen an HD version of this picture before.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The trick is to see the meme early, save it because funni and eternally true, and then much later plumb the archives for good memes to give to Lemmy

[–] _tinker_@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When life gives you lemons, find a new family.

My bosses boss told me this. I stopped him right there and told him flat out I'm here for a check and that's it. I don't care about anyone here. They all could disappear tomorrow and i wouldn't shed a tear. Didn't like that comment very much 🤣

[–] sparky678348@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In the future I recommend lying

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago

why? to be a lying boot licker like everyone else?

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

My family sure is stingy with their money lately...

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

You wouldn't fire your family, would you?

"Nah, I'm here for the money."

[–] exegete@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ed Truck is the exact guy who told Michael coworkers were not family in the show lol

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You're expected to drop everything when your family needs you with no expectation of getting anything for all your sacrifice.

Yep - they definitely want you to see the company as family.

Boss: "In this company we are a family"

Me: intstantly gets a hard on for my coworkers

[–] Batman@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are you doing step-PM!?!?

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 year ago

Step-Prime Minister?

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Gets stuck the company laundry machine

"What are you doing step-coworker?"

[–] aessedai@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

My family needs to unionize.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

If I am ever told we are like family, I'll gladly let whoever told me that know that if push comes to shove, I am not above murdering "family".

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He noticed you are applying to other jobs and now is trying to guilt trip you

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 1 year ago

The other families are just as abusive. Stone skimming only gets you so far, before you hit the bottom.

It better to establish a foundation through unionisation.
