This didn’t happen
If the boss wanted everyone lunching at once, I assume that’s probably when they would take their own lunch, so they would have just closed the office for that hour.
it’s a fake story thou
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.
Listen, I get that wearing a uniform and seeing the abyss that is human nature is very honorable, but don’t compare that to the military. That’s just killing poor people for the rich and powerful.
There’s a certain set of people who would still treat retail workers like shit b/c “I had to put up with it, so they can too!” And I want to rake my foot down their shins just thinking about it.

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
That’s not a requirement of Hanlon’s razor. Stupidity can be introduced at any point in the process. If a commander orders a firing squad to form a circle and they shoot each other, that’s on the commander, not the squad for shooting each other.
Why the fuck would you censor “panicked”?
Welcome to corpo controlled internet, where you write within their guidelines, not where you freely communicate like actual people.
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?Ok Karen.
jesse what the fuck are you on about
That’s the Chad meme guy.
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.
Memes are conceptual not literal
That’s mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or more accurately by imitation.
I read the book where Richard Dawkins coined the term.
A key feature about a true meme is that it can evolve, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed. to use the drawing u/Appoxo made for me.
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.
Except it’s not really malicious compliance, it’s just compliance.
Not a single muscle was flexed.The muscle of the Union.
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.
OP sees the malicious compliance as a “chad” move, hence the use of Giga Chad meme.
Maybe, but I seriously doubt most office people find a ribbed extreme muscle guy representative of office workers. And especially not the women.
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.
Sorry but giga chad doesnt come with noodle arms and a pouch :/
“You” created it, you say?
I willed it into existence by utilizing another non-organic entity to manifest it.
And I am a real person. Thus the “” are falsely used.
Better use them this way: “Created”
Cool drawing. 👍
Except part of the issue was the naked part.
He should wear a shirt, or other form of typical office clothing.AI slop
