What happens if you are the only employee or one of two employees in your company

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 42 points 6 days ago

what happens if you send him to a friend's business because they were complaining about having a boring day

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 30 points 6 days ago

You just have to be the first one to mumble: i can't believe he did that

[-] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 days ago

From my understanding, he doesn't necessarily make it clear that it's a employee's complaint still, depending on the complaint it would ve obvious

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

If youre the only one, I think it would look like that Monty Python sketch "Argument Clinic"

I just noticed this on our calendar and had to wonder if the boss of the calendar company made them put this here.

Edit: Wikipedia says it is real:

Boss's Day (also written Bosses Day or Boss' Day) is generally observed on October 16 in the United States. It has been pitched as a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

That has got to be a deeply sarcastic joke, hasn't it?

[-] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 6 days ago

Apparently it's a legacy of nepotism. Someone in 1958 was working for daddy and wanted to celebrate daddy on daddy's birthday for being such a good boss. Thanks daddy.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Oh I think it should be a day where the boss does the actual job and shows us why they’re boss

Hahahahahahahahahaha. I'd so love to see them try that here in France!

[-] Sprinks@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I saw that on our calendar this year and laughed. The company i work for had a huge influx of buisness for a year or two, but they mismanaged the hell out of the profits. With everything going to shit this year they had to let go of over half the company, including my husband just days before his hire date anniversary when he would have gotten more vacation days and his yearly raise.... Yeah...boss....i dont have many reasons to be thankful this "bosses day"

[-] beveradb@sh.itjust.works 52 points 6 days ago

Need a link for this genius already

[-] riot@fedia.io 51 points 6 days ago

I was curious too, so did some searching. His name seems to be Calimar White (based on this Tiktok page), and the company is called OCDA (Occupational Cares Diversity Affairs). The website, which also has YouTube videos, is at https://ocdaofficial.com/

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 6 days ago

I love the unofficial slogan "we are NOT affiliated with OSHA" 😄

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Incredible name, I really want to say it out loud but my husband’s sleeping next to me.

Edit: Calimar White, not the company

His name is Calimar White and his business is called Occupational Cares Diversity Affairs.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago

A great idea, but I think a lot of businesses would never let this guy past the front desk/security.

[-] SchadeMarmelade@feddit.org 22 points 6 days ago

Love how he points to the text and is like "See? Right here it says Dickwad"

[-] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 6 days ago

It's written down! You can't argue with science!

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago

I’d use this service for when I need to retire or quit from a job I may not like. Like how the Japanese do.

Oooh I dont know what you're referring to but I would like to

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 38 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Japanese working culture is ... different.

https://metropolisjapan.com/resignation-agencies/

Tl:dr;

The top-cited reason for using resignation agencies, at 40.7%, was that companies refused to let them quit. Other reasons included fear of backlash if they resigned alone or their work environment discouraged employees from quitting independently.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

discouraged from quitting? bitch the whole point of quitting is to not be beholden to your shit.

[-] fushuan 11 points 6 days ago

If you want to be unemployable in Japan as a whole, sure, leave on your terms. It's fucked up.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

In Japan companies even do their best to not fire people and just bully them into quitting. So they don’t have to pay severance and also maintain their image. They will basically isolate employees from their colleagues and give them jobs that they weren’t even hired to do, like cleaning even though they have a cleaning crew. Like at Konami employees they wanted to let go of were forced to clean the Konami gyms.

Being isolated from your colleagues doesn’t sound that bad to us, but in Japan many people don’t have many friends outside of their coworkers. Not to mention everyone knows what is about to happen if they isolate you. It’s a way to shame you.

Basically they do shit that is straight up illegal in most western countries.

[-] bobo1900@startrek.website 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

What prevents them for doing the same? Not doing their job until they are fired so they don't have to quit. I would guess that would be even more shameful

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Japanese principles of honorable work, fear of retribution in future jobs. They’re brought up to expect a very different relationship with their company, and end up with a self-abusive mentality that they must deserve the mistreatment.

I'd love to see them try that on me lol... Oh I can't quit? I'll just stop coming into work and if you want to continue to pay me, then that's your prerogative.

I was going to say "It is late where I am" but I was fully awake when I wrote this. I'll keep it as it is.

"Hey, so.... I work at Microsoft... "

[-] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 days ago

I complained to my boss about my boss and he would make sure to change things for the better of his employees. Because the less employees complain, the better work they do.

[-] TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 days ago

How does his company make money?

[-] causepix@lemmy.ml 19 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

He really just does it as a hobby. Love of the game.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

The bosses say, "thank you for setting me straight" and pay him.

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago

He then sends a companywide email asking for the employee to step forward for their promotion

This takes away all the fun of insulting your boss yourself...

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Nah, the good old days, when you'd step out for a smoke break and cut their brake lines, before they leave to take a two-week holiday vacation. No HR, no confrontation, just results. And maybe a promotion!

Now we have 'mediators' and CEOs don't like having an office with floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor anymore...

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Don't worry. His services are not mandatory.

[-] mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud 16 points 6 days ago

How do I get employment with him?

If you figure it out, you also need to use his services (with employee discount?) against your new boss and record the result.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

"I'm a fucking bitch"

"...wait a minute"

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

this guy gets it

[-] NRay7882@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I've been watching Jon Breaks Bad News, he makes calls like this on stream, it can get pretty wild.

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Would be fun to call out my cokehead boss this way!
