OMG !! LOL !!

So it turns out that corporate lackeys really don’t like it when you tell them “no.”

It’s totally understandable. I mean, they’ve gone through life, and the best they can manage, regardless of college education, is basically permanently working in a damn supermarket. I thought I was dealt a bad hand at times, but goddamn, that sounds like my personal hell.

Today, I learned one of the most important things to know when in the working world: dealing with a “dead man walking.”

We all know what “dead man walking” means. Typically used in prisons, it’s for death row inmates, since they are never leaving the building alive, and their fate is sealed, but there they are, for the time being, quite alive and well. Well, it’s also used in the working world, typically used for people who are set to be fired, their fate is sealed, but there they are, working like normal, until they are axed.

It was adopted into the workplace, because exployers found that is best, and most convenient, to wait until the end of the week to fire someone if it isn’t critical that they be fired immediately. They don’t have to worry about hours being lost in the schedules, and it reduces the chances of someone going postal the next day, since it’s the weekend and they get a cool-down period. It doesn’t exctly translate like that for a supermarket that is open 7 days a week, but trust me, Office Space was very accurate in their description. (continue reading…)
