This is a troll
It sounds a lot like Ken Cheng
Yeah, this really seems like it’s satire. If someone hadn’t blurred out the name, we would… Hold on.
A quick Google search yielded results.
Could still be satire
Feels to me like the lunatic’s fantasy. Like, the guy really wishes he could do it, but realizes he doesn’t have the power to actually go through with it. So he makes up these fantasies to make himself feel better and to try and garner some clout with his fellow lunatics.
Maybe. But it is satire by holding a mirror on power tripping, clout chasing LinkedIn influencers. That’s like accusing the South Park creators of secretly wanting to swim in piss in a piss park, or secretly wanting to get into orgy with Satan, Saddam, Trump and Laura Loomer.
This is yes, but also 100% possible.
it doesn’t matter if it’s real, it only matters if it confirms my biases
I hope this is Ken Chang or what’s his name.
Considering the name is censored, doubt it
It’s not Ken anything. It’s some British guy named Jack Frimston.
I think it’s up to you to decide whether or not this is supposed to be satirical. I’m on the side of thinking it’s not.
Ken M is who you’re referring to I believe.
No there’s a specific satire account on Linked in.
We’re all Ken Chang on this blessed day
GOOD point
I love how far he leans into the satire.
Here’s the problem: my posts are not satire. Groundbreaking philosophy can sometimes feel like satire because it is so avant-garde and interesting.
What’s next? I have to sit at the back of the bus because those are the “Satire Seats”? My children have to go to the specific “Satire School”? This is segregation at its finest.
Must be sooo nice to work in the US :)
It’s a big part of why I stick w/ my company when I know I can get higher pay elsewhere. My boss is actually pretty reasonable and the workload is totally acceptable.
Yeah. Sometimes pay isn’t worth the toxic environment.
I would venture to say it never is. I worked in a toxic environment for five years, and it literally made me ill.
My hair started falling out in big handfuls and I had constant digestive problems. I went to a series of doctors and ended up with an endocrinologist who said my thyroid was overactive and might need to be irradiated to stop the problems. Then at my next appointment, it was under-active. It didn’t make sense.
I had already been looking for a new job, and I changed jobs after that second appointment. A month later, all of my problems had gone away. It turned out all the havoc in my body was just due to stress.
They could have quadrupled my pay and it still wouldn’t have been worth the effects on my health.
My employer used to be reasonable. Now after having the office moved to another county they are expecting me to just switch from remote to hybrid working starting Monday morning.
I am not doing it. But feeling quite a bit of anxiety over the situation as I don’t really know what is going to happen. I hope a lot of people refuse to but I don’t know if they are. I do know that a lot don’t want to.
We switched from 2 days in office to 3, which was annoying, but not my boss’ fault, that came straight from the CEO. My boss does a good job fighting for us, and we enjoy a good amount of autonomy from the rest of the bs that goes on in the company.
Everyone has their line. Mine has been max 3 days in office for years now, but maybe yours is full remote. Once you hear that your line will be crossed, start looking immediately and push back once you feel you have a good backup plan.
What I dislike is the constant push to get people in more and more often. It seems clear that they want everyone in all the time eventually. I can’t even afford that kind of commuting cost since they moved the office over 50 miles away.
Yeah, I get that.
The difference is that everyone on my team was hired with the understanding that either they’re local or they’d relocate after the COVID restrictions were lifted, so remote work was a temporary situation. The understanding was always 2 days in office (despite corporate policy being 3 days), and our VP ensured it stayed that way for 4 years. At the end of that, our CEO and VP changed, and we were forced onto the existing 3-day in office corporate policy, and they require that one of those days are Monday or Friday.
IMO, that’s totally acceptable. It’s not like these other companies that advertised full remote and then switched to hybrid or even full in office.
The real problem is the bait and switch. If you’re going to change the terms of the deal, give people a lot of time to adjust. If you’re going to change from full remote to hybrid or full in office, give people multiple months to adjust since they may decide to move.
There is no amount of time that could ever make the bait and switch reasonable, changing a commute from less than 5 miles to well over 50 is not something you can adjust to.
Give us that redundancy payout if you really insist its necessary to come into the office. Then have fun when you have no one left that knows how the product works.
I disagree, I think 6 months is fine, and if the relocation of the office is significantly far away (i.e. your case), then also offer a relocation package. That gives people enough time to find new work, sell their house/lease, etc. Maybe it’s better to offer people their choice of severance or relocation, but I don’t think severance is necessary if they give sufficiently advanced notice.
why is this censored
It’s actually great news for that person, because they won’t have to deal with that absolute shit show of a boss.
I dun gawt trohled
Sounds like the employee dodged a bullet there.
Wood chippers for all the bosses.
Would have, if it were real. Hiring people is a bitch. You don’t ditch people because they’re not psychic psychos.
Yeah. HR would have thrown him out with the new hire if they actually did this
That’s assuming there is an HR and he is not one of those insane startup tech/fin-tech/app CEO bros. Still rage bait but there is enough truth to be rage bait.
Reminds me of the Team Fortress 2 Expiration Date animation.
Spy: Final Question… You have a dinner date for seven… what time do you arrive?
Scout: Seven. A.M. Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not, I gotta kill him. Dispose of the body, replace him with my own guy no later than 4:30…
Spy: You’re ready.
Scout: Really?
Spy: No. Everything you just said was insane… and, we are out of time. Congratulations. You’re a failure.
Why is the name censored? This is someone who wanted to post it public with their face attached. Let them. It’s not like it’s a private Facebook group.
I feel like self-censoring is the fad this part of this decade. Everyone’s afraid for some reason. It’s all blur this, black out that, I’ve even noticed police bodycam footage and news footage bleeping out curses and public information. People are more concerned with their “content” going viral than disseminating the honest information.
We need to say fuck twice for every fuck they don’t say.
I’ll fucking drink to that. I mean, it’s 0700 but… Fuck.
I blame giant corpos training people to self-sensor. Twitter popularized this by hiding replies that contained curse words, so people began to use milder language. Then TikTok did their stupid censorship so people started using alternative words. Now YouTube does the same but they will straight-up delete your comment or deprioritize your videos without notice.
There’s no logic to the YouTube thing. I’ve noticed news channels that blur out guns when someone pulls one on CCTV even though it’s already only 120p, even though there are other YouTube channels that are literally all about guns and they’re not bothered at all.
Reddit tendrils
It’s not just reddit. Not by a longshot. unalive is a ticktok invention, for example.
I hired a new employee to start on Tuesday
He came in on Monday
I fired him on the spot
Can’t follow simple fucking instructions
I hired a guy to start on Monday. He showed up at 8:45.
No Bueno buster, you were expected at exactly midnight because that’s when fuckin Monday starts.
Based troll!
What an absolute piece of shit coming in 15 minutes early on your scheduled start date.
I know this is sarcasm but the point of the lunatic was that he wanted them to come on Monday, a full day before.
Not that this actually happened of course, but if somebody genuinely worked like that, you wouldn’t want to work for them.
You’d probably end up stabbing them in the eye with a rusty fork, and no one would blame you.
Yeah. I would have fired them on the spot.
Why?
Because if they came early it means that they not busy enough in their own life.
If life’s not a one big hustle for you, you are not even trying.
(/s just incase)
This reads like it came straight off of linked in. Perfection.

What a ghoul.
I would have reverse-fired my future ex-boss. ‘Monday? That was my day off after working 80 hours this week-end (I spent this day off doing research obviously). I was there on Sunday at 3:00 AM and couldn’t see you so I took the liberty of making you redundant’
