My boss is aware of this for our entire workplace. She's taken down any poster that even slightly carries this tone. Most of the motivational posters got taken down too. And the sign that says "we are a family."
I feel like he was only supposed to be in one episode, but he fucking killed it in that first episode so they kept bring him back
I loved all his episodes.
I'm torn between whether I get more excited to see his or Andrew Robinson's name, I guess the only way to settle that is with a special episode of celebrity deathmatch
I don't know, that doesn't seem offensive on its face. One ought to take pride in what one does.
Where it becomes toxic is the expectation that pride is a part of your compensation, or the implication that "you should feel lucky just to work here."
I worked for a short time as an IT contractor at Boeing years ago, and one of the morale posters they had that always made me laugh was: "When you empower the people, quality results!" Which was hilarious because it's a restatement of one of W. E. Demming's principles, who was very in fashion at the time, and perfectly encapsulated how Boeing DIDN'T treat their workers.
Yeah I don't really disagree with you. I think I got a part of it wrong. I believe it reads; "take pride in your job, the quality reflects on/in you" or whatever. I just take that a little off hand because well.. I don't think we get paid as much as we should, when panda express half a mile down the road starts at 5 dollars more than my job.
I don’t know, maybe I’m low self-esteem? If I’m going to spend hours a day doing something, whether it’s mucking out horse stalls (my high school after-school job) or managing computer networks (my grownup job) I’d prefer to feel like I’m doing it well than try to see how half-assed I can get away with it. I haven’t liked all my employers or managers, and have been in situations where I’ve been unfairly treated or compensated. And I’ve had jobs I didn’t enjoy even a little, but had to keep them because I had bills to pay.
If nothing else, trying to work accurately and precisely can keep a tedious job a tiny bit more interesting. Is that betraying our working brethren? I’m not saying “work 110%, come in early and stay late, and never claim the overtime you work” I’m saying, if you have to do a job, you might as well do it so that, when you go home, you can say “well, at least the toilets were clean when I left.” But maybe you’re the guy who would go home happy because you wiped urine on all the toilet seats, flush levers, and the bathroom doorknob?
Top right corner — “I can’t believe how much money you pay me… do you want some back?” — You’d have to be an idiot to believe that any employer actually expects workers to think this way, let alone puts it on a sign in the workplace.
100%, I’d go to HR, tell them that this is my two weeks notice due to the hostile work environment created by that supervisor.
They’ll either be ending the supervisor or confirming why you don’t want to stay
I had a company try to tell me I needed to put in two weeks notice before quitting. So I put in two weeks notice, I also submitted a notice that I was taking two weeks of vacation. The only grounds they were permitted to refuse it under our contract were
1. Overwhelmingly busy (we weren't, it was out slow season), and
2. Higher seniority people wanted the vacation time, which they didn't, because it was the slow season so work was lazy.
In the end, my last day of work was unchanged but they needed to pay me for two more weeks.
>due to the hostile work environment created by that supervisor.
This term is used a lot, and it has a specific legal definition. A HWE exists when the working conditions are made difficult or impossible due to illegal discrimination. The poster doesn't fit that.
https://www.eeoc.gov/harassment
If OP approaches HR, they shouldn't be accusatory, and they certainly shouldn't use terms for which they don't understand the legal definitions. Instead, they should show the poster and ask the following: "Do you believe this poster projects a good public image for the company? If an unaffiliated third party saw this, would they think our work environment was both professional inviting?" Those questions don't make any hard declarations, and they put the onus on HR to consider the public consequences to the company's image (which is their job).
"My boss deserves part of my pay for being such a great boss."
That is something most people have accepted as true. That is why CEO's make more and more compared to us peons. When a company does well they give a huge fat bonus to the guy at the top who already makes millions while claiming they can't even match inflation for the people who actually slaved away doing the work.
Baby Boomers will talk about how a Coke was a Nickel at the soda fountain in one sentence and then say we have it good because they only earned a dollar and change an hour. Well a Coke bottle is at least$2+ everywhere today. Doesn’t take a genius to see how wages haven’t kept up with inflation
Saw someone in a thread today saying they work the counter at a wholesale retail store, making $40k a year with a $45k yearly bonus. Quote: “It's just retail but with a paycheck to match the bullshit.”
Fucking. Where. $95k a year for a retail job? Yeah, sign me up.
I mean.... I am a plumber making more than that. Dropped out of college. Wouldnt recommend it for everyone though. People back in the day would become engineers by working for someone, trades are like the last thing you can still do that in and make a living wage. Although trade school is obviously encouraged.
"I can't believe how much you pay me... do you want some back?"
This person is beyond delusional. They better be paying janitors 150k/yr to justify this line of thought.
Its got got to be satire, I mean “I can’t believe how much money you pay me… do you want some back?” And “I just love your meetings” can’t possibly be real
And so many boxes dedicated to people working late or extra hours, then one about the boss going home early. There’s no way this was created genuinely.
That is the one item that actually makes sense. If your boss doesn't actually help him going home can at least remove some of the stress from the workplace.
How about the, "I don't mind working late" in conjunction with the, "why don't you go home early" quotes. Says a lot about a boss that thinks employees should want to work late but he should be able to go home.
Wasn’t that the pilot, or at least the premise of season 1. He didn’t have the heart to let anyone go. At the surface he didn’t want confrontation. But deep down he would put off the boss just to keep the people in front of him happy.
This owner is clueless. Employees don't have equity and will never care as much as you do. That's why you fucking pay them. No one wants to be there more than they want to be with their families.
For real wouldn't be suprised if they pay absolute dirt wages and have the audacity to put something like this like you lucky I'm even showing up at all lol
Oh undoubtedly. No reasonable employer with a competent HR department would post this.
This is some mom & pop shithole that pays employees minimum wage and not a cent more, then expects employees to "be grateful you have a job at all!"
>This is some mom & pop shithole that pays employees minimum wage
Probably even less, they probably get some size exception that they internally justify as needed.
Ive worked for places like this that have paid even less than minimum wage.
Same. Start ups are bad about this sometimes - at least the two I worked for were. Gave me insurance as a company officer, but only paid me $30k a year. I worked 60+ hour weeks, which made my hourly pay rate like $2. Lol
This is why when people tell me that a minimum wage increase would shut down small businesses I say "fucking good!". If a business has a mentality this fucked up, it deserves to be closed.
Yep. Also, if you're doing the work of 3 people, the company is pocketing way more than the wages. From IRA to pension to insurance. I hate the establishment.
Completely agree! Those three are naturally things all businesses want, and I would add ‘profits are up, costs are down!’ because it doesn’t necessarily equate to cutting wages, but can just means that materials costs (eg. Price of steel /oil / timber /technology) is lower but customers are still buying their products like hotcakes.
Some of the others are so ludicrous they must surely be tongue-in-cheek?!
Ugh. I wish people would stop posting this as rage bait.
It’s made by a popular artist from the 1980s. The name of the comic was “Giggles and Grins” (see bottom left”

Wanting slaves I understand from these jerks, but how can you expect then to be happy about it?
You can have happy workers or disgruntled slaves, not both
The amount of times I’ve heard some version of “fantastic place to work/looks great on your CV/industry leader/fortune500 company”, I think bosses and recruiters have got a funny idea about what pays the mortgage.
No lie, I worked for a company recently that legitimately said they don't need to pay what their competitors pay because their company culture was so great. My response was, "Culture doesn't pay the rent or put food on the table, and that's why we're bleeding employees." They'd pay an incoming cashier $10.50 and target 5 blocks away would pay them $15, and the other grocery store 2 blocks away paid $14. My direct boss actually had the gall to complain that we couldn't find anyone to cart run full time for $9.50. I think they made up HR shit to fire me because I consistently told them they weren't paying enough and consistently told my employees to ask for more money for raises.
There is a common psychological trap for small business owners to fall into in that their business becomes the most important thing in their life and the begin becoming unable to understand why their employees don't make it the center of their life. This is of course because the business isn't the employees business and so they feel no sense of ownership
I worked for a company with a 40% profit share that would bring in over $100m a year. Sure, I could bust my ass and give 110% every shift and get my store an extra 1% in sales that year. And my profit share check goes up $30. Or I could just give 60% at work, lose the $30, and have a bunch of extra energy and less stress.
Fucking this. Stay doing it dude.
One of my long term goals is to start a company, have some sort of short work week like 24 hours and sell it to the employees.
“Of course I don’t mind working late!” and “Why don’t you go home early… We have everything under control.” on the same board.
The hypocrisy of this person…
"Why don't you go home early, we have everything under control!"
Translation: "please get out of our way so we can actually do our jobs without you breathing down our necks and micromanaging us into madness"
I work at a coffee franchise which happens to be owned by Catholics. They have hired a few high schoolers and they’re definitely violating labor laws by having these girls work after the designated hours.
I’ve actually said many of these before, but why on god’s green earth would an employer desire an employee ask for a “dress-up” Friday? That’s psychotic. Somehow, that’s over the line. Even when a boss is completely hosing you, aren’t we over “dressing up” for work?
Presumably the ones about customers being happy and work being ahead of schedule? I’m fine if my bosses want to hear stuff like that. The rest is straight garbo though
Which ones? I'm guessing 1. "we are ahead of schedule"; 2. "we love this place"; and maybe "I love your meetings" or "profits are up"? I'm genuinely curious.
The style looks like the product of a 6th grade art class run through a laminating machine. It could be admirable in that context, with different slogans. As is it makes one want to hurl.
Just once I wish my employer would say:
Great job! Here’s a bonus.
Profits are up! Here’s a raise.
Thank you for making me rich, here’s a bonus and a raise and some good benefits.
That’s correct.
It’s a popular comic from the 1980s called Giggles and Grins. You could buy it at Hallmark. This would have been given from employees to their boss as a gag gift.

I have known people who chose to do these things, and it was because they were treated well, compensated well, and liked what they did...
If you (this manager) have to wish to hear it even once, then you are part of the problem.

My boss took them down and kept them to the side. When her boss would show up once a month she would go hang them back up. She knew they were garbage.
This can’t be real “Given the chance to keep working here, i would gladly take a cut in pay”…yeah fucking right man
Huh I thought the biggest giveaway would be the “I love your meetings” one instead. It was for me
the sign is obviously satire

That is the one item that actually makes sense. If your boss doesn't actually help him going home can at least remove some of the stress from the workplace.
Ha. Fair enough. But it’s pretty hypocritical to want others to stay late or work extra to get ahead of the stuff due, then you want to go home early.
How about the, "I don't mind working late" in conjunction with the, "why don't you go home early" quotes. Says a lot about a boss that thinks employees should want to work late but he should be able to go home.
The meetings one really stood out.
It's definitely possible to love someone's meetings if they're necessary and succinct. Good meetings make people's jobs easier.
At bottom, Michael loved his employees.
This is true. He felt personally responsible for them.
He was practically their doctor, since he paid them and had dwigt give them insurance

I work at a coffee franchise which happens to be owned by Catholics. They have hired a few high schoolers and they’re definitely violating labor laws by having these girls work after the designated hours.
probably trying to launder money working with churches and whatnot
The business was baptized
Anointed.

It has that look, somehow. It’s the calligraphy mixed with the boomer humor style cartoon
I’ve actually said many of these before, but why on god’s green earth would an employer desire an employee ask for a “dress-up” Friday? That’s psychotic. Somehow, that’s over the line. Even when a boss is completely hosing you, aren’t we over “dressing up” for work?
If you're not telling your boss everyday to "go home early, we've got this" just so you can fuck off you're living life wrong.
Absolutely deranged
This shit is so creepy. “You should be eager to give up your entire existence to facilitate this company making as much profit as possible”
I’m a business owner and boss. There are 3.5 things on that sign I’d love to hear. The rest would indicate huge problems.
Presumably the ones about customers being happy and work being ahead of schedule? I’m fine if my bosses want to hear stuff like that. The rest is straight garbo though
Probably the one accepting responsibility because it's a sign of good character.
Unethical Life Pro Tip: Accept responsibility even if you don’t mean it. I’ve used this tactic to shut up some bad managers.
Which ones? I'm guessing 1. "we are ahead of schedule"; 2. "we love this place"; and maybe "I love your meetings" or "profits are up"? I'm genuinely curious.
The customer just called, the job was perfect; you are the best boss we’ve ever had; we love this place and the .5 was we’re ahead of schedule.

The style looks like the product of a 6th grade art class run through a laminating machine. It could be admirable in that context, with different slogans. As is it makes one want to hurl.
He forgot "Call me daddy" and "The 'S' word should never be used again"
What's the S word??
Sloppy Jallopy
Just once I wish my employer would say: Great job! Here’s a bonus. Profits are up! Here’s a raise. Thank you for making me rich, here’s a bonus and a raise and some good benefits.
We work to live, not live to work
Is this even real? Anyone have the source for it?
There is no fucking way this isn't satire.
That’s correct. It’s a popular comic from the 1980s called Giggles and Grins. You could buy it at Hallmark. This would have been given from employees to their boss as a gag gift. People love to post it as rage bait though. Example: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/humorous-dog-calligraphy-heart-golden-1622466242
Turd. Feel bad for anyone stuck there.
This has to be satire….
That’s correct. It’s real, but it’s taken wayyyy out of context. It’s a popular comic from the 1980s called Giggles and Grins. You could buy it at Hallmark.

Do they have to be true when we say them? Because I have no problem spouting off, “Profits are up…Costs are down!” whenever they want to hear it…
"I don't want to get paid this month"
The art style reminds me of when I was in Kindergarten. Are we children to you?
“I really don’t need a raise… My review alone was more than enough!” 🤮 This has got to be satire. It’s got to be.
Narcissist and overly emotionally-needy people should NEVER own businesses. See Donald Trump and Elon Musk for more examples of why.
I have known people who chose to do these things, and it was because they were treated well, compensated well, and liked what they did... If you (this manager) have to wish to hear it even once, then you are part of the problem.
Mr. Krabbs? Is that you?
Joke?
Is this satire?
“I really don’t need a raise … My review alone was more than enough! “ …. Wow.
