Reality Check by Dave Whamond for December 04, 2021

Sounds like an ex-Boss I once had.

“And his moral GPS was even worse.”

How ya doin’??? I’m gonna have to have you come into work on Saturday and Sunday, mmmmmkaaaaayyyyyy? ;D

You want devotion, hire a dog. I’m outta here.

Having a squirrel in the staff is a sign that management is easily fooled by activity instead of productivity.

There’s NO almost about it!

Compared to this guy, Dilbert’s PHB is an amateur.

It’s clear he has no life.

Sounds like a typical socialist. For the greater good you know.

now get those TPS reports done and on my desk lol

American capitalism at its “finest.”

This is the personnel manager for a company that I worked for very briefly! They bought us, and fired a bunch of factory people soon after purchase. Gathered the folks in conference room and said: “buying a company is like trimming a tree; you have to get rid of the dead wood to make room for new growth”. Story as one of the fired guys told it.

Ralph is tempted to kick you in the….

It’s when they tell you how lucky you are to have the job that you know you made a poor career choice, or most likely was lied to during the interview process. Painful memory from a few decades ago.

He’s a communist capitalist.

The beatings will continue till morale improves.

With no morale compass, that company’s fortunes soon went south.

I had to work some weekends in order to collect pee samples for manatory pee test for probationer I supervised. Gave new meaning to the term PO! God I hated that part of my job! Caught a lot of fools, but did I detest this part of my job. Now breath testing was part of drug testing I could put up with, blow and go! Caught many a violators with my alco-sensor.

Show me a Mr. Kowalski and I’ll show you a frustrated old man with a nagging frigid wife that he hates to go home to, which explains why he stays at the office and expects everyone else to keep him company in his misery. Normal mentally healthy people know how to draw the line between work and life balance – and adhere to it.

The level of production will commiserate to the level of pay.

Mr. Kowalski must have a high turn-over rate.

Join a union … then you can demand more pay for less work at the same time …!

“We want everyone to work at least 20 hours a month overtime.” “Why? I’m efficient and I’m caught up”. “But now you can do MORE”. True story.

You and everyone else.

Real World 101: If you are too good on the job your boss may feel threatened and his boss may see that.

Workers have choices now, tons of people are quitting crap jobs.
