I used to do data entry at a post office for Christmas. Whilst us were sweating, hitting buttons all night, we had a group of supervisors standing there, gossiping and belittling foreign employees’ names like those pricks were still at school. When I was offered for permanent work months later, I declined.
Imagine being told by teachers, parents and strangers to “act your age” and “grow up be mature” then going through college getting a bachelors and then being treated like this at your job
My ultimate dream is seeing the corporate world and traditional education system become completely obsolete. Those two are the worst things humanity has ever conceived.
@@UnicycleSoul traditional education system aka college is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Id say college is necessary if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer or something like that. But if you just want to start your own business or learn a practical skill and use it for a living (like software development) a degree shouldnt be required. The reality is, the anti-college people dont really mean eliminating college altogether, its just that it shouldnt be a hunting license to get good job. E.g. employers requiring a degree for a boring data entry job.
In order for this to happen, you'd need to see a change in culture. Less consumerism for one thing - Amazon and most huge corporations make huge money from consumers who always need to newest phone, etc. Without mass consumerism big corporations would die fast. Then you have the middlemen (recruiters, staffers) created out of the massive regulations that make it risky for a company to give employment (so many laws and reasons to get sued). Politicians and lawyers and lobbyists have created this system where you have a large class of parasites acting as employment gatekeepers, who don't even do a good job. I disagree about "traditional education" though. Most kids at my age then would have just wasted their time on even more frivolous stuff. At least school occupied their time somewhat.
Oh boy, I hate it too when managers call their co workers "Family". Generally it creates an atmosphere where it's impossible to have promotions or seek out a better positions in the company since they WILL take it personally. Thus, either you avoid asking to improve your status in the company because you may fear they will fire you, or quit because you know that you won't get anywhere. I mean, yeah, you can make good friends, but you can't say that your co workers are "family". People like this should get a life... Anyway, Merry Christmas Josh !
I ever had a colleague that says:" i am not interested in promotions and bonuses. You want me to perform better, give me a pay increment". He left the company after working a year
Literally every single cent my company spends on swag, happy hours, food, decorations would be better spent going to me as a bonus so I can do whatever I want with it.
I just don't partake in any parties or awkwardness from day one. That way everyone knows I'm not down for cringe and they leave me alone. Set boundaries people. Just say, this makes me uncomfortable. I don't even take home Christmas presents or from any other holiday.
Honestly, this is one of my motivation to continue self learn and stay on top of my game. So I can say NO from doing this stupid stuffs. It feels good to have a backbone
This whole office culture is such a drag... I am not even employed yet, still I can feel what I will get myself into after getting one. I don't need need golden "balls" and some fancy lightning all around me. Give me just a little seperate space, a coffee. That's it. Thank-you Joshua for such eye opening videos.
The slanted toilet is stupid. If your employees are wasting time and not getting the job done, fire them. If they are getting the job done, it’s obviously not hindering things much.
Easier to be passive-aggressive about it and just do stupid shit like slanted toilets. Come to think about it, the modern office is all about passive-aggression.
it is not about doing the work it is about milking as much unpaid overwork as possible if they make work the only joyfull thing in the office then you will just work and do more then it is needed.
In my company, all these decorative or party management stuffs are always left to the low performers. High performers would just get shit done quickly and leave office on time.😅
Thanks for speaking about this nasty cringy corporate bullshit, I just discovered your channel yesterday searching "corporate cringe" and boy was I glad ! Greetings from Morocco and Merry Christmas 🎆🎉🎊💪
What if you have medical emergency (diarrhea, or any other digestive problems) and you need to spend more time on the toilet? Should the person just poop on the floor?🤔🤔🤔 who came up with this
I worked at a place with silly co- workers who spent half their time planning parties and hounding you to contribute money for these parties. I had to explain to the 30 year old organizer- still living with parents- that I had bills to pay!
@@Alexanderofthe9th I actually like casual office environments, i.e. team buildings, office parties, birthday celebration etc. There's nothing wrong with that.
I absolutely hated Christmas parties. Often times I already knew I was quitting the company (for a multitude of very good reasons) but felt more or less forced to attend these parties. It's actually a good way to deflate the ego's of office narcissists and control freaks when you make it clear that you don't want to be around them for one second longer than you have to be. Showing up with a hot date, having one drink and leaving right away works well too :-) .
Why can't you just refuse? I mean the losses of training up a new employee is probably greater than you missing the yearly office party? Or would you get fired for that
Your question is very rational. But rationality is one of the first things you have to ignore if you really want to understand these types of workplaces. Refusing (even politely declining) to attend the Christmas Party can be seen as an act of defiance or slap in the face to the organizer. In fact I've seen such organizers turn very aggressive towards people who declined social engagements. It can also be taken as a sign that you don't want to be around your co-workers for a single second longer than is necessary. You probably wouldn't get fired directly from not attending. But if you don't play their games the way they want you to... At one office I was at they handed out the bonus cheques at the office party; no attendance meant no cheque.@@xydez
Glad I don't work for a corporation rn. My company party was at a fancy restaurant in downtown, with free food (I had a massive ribeye) and an open bar (I drank a 6-pack, a whiskey, and some shots. Day before that, they handed me a fat bonus check too. Merry Christmas, everybody!
I work for a rather big group. We had a 45 minute speech (they counted it as work time so we got paid for it), then we had free food and drinks. It can't be that fucking difficult.
Your channel is the Holy Grail for psychologists, neuroscientists, behavioralists, anthropologists, and psychiatrists. The amount of mental madness going on and the quality research that can be done only watching 10 minutes videos is amazing. 🤣😂😂😵💫😵💫😵💫
It always blows my mind when co-workers who I thought were pretty normal suddenly go all in and drink the kool-aid at work. Yes, good to know I'm not the only one.
😂 yeah chemist here none of that nonsense here scientists tend to be pretty serious the most tedious thing tho is when R&D have to meet the office types hella long 😂 rather do another titration
If they're going to GET DRUNK and they've been secretly eyeing each other off for months, a lack of mistletoe WON'T STOP ANYTHING. I just wish we had more company BBQs for a similar reason.
I'm very proud of me when I say that I've skipped the last 3 Christmas parties and refused to wearing stupid jumpers and reindeer antlers in office. 👍 😂
"office policies are still in effect during your holiday party" Question: If a friend invited you to a party and said the party had to be conducted according to a set of office policies. Would you really want to go to a party like that? Oh, and gotta love the grown men doing 'heart shapes' with their hands in that company music video. Would kind of expect that from my teenage nieces, but, .... each to their own!
I mean who doesn't want to spend Christmas with a bunch of normies in the office they waste most of their lives in. I'd rather get fired than perish to this ultimate cringe 😁 Merry Krishna and happy new remote only year.
Thank you Josh for making these. They make me laugh...from behind my hands. Companies subjecting employees to this kind of horse poop was the reason I went freelance back in the 90s. At least back then social media wasn't a thing and so the only people who got to share the "fun" were the other poor saps who needed to earn a living. All I ever wanted was to do my job to the best of my abilities and earn money from it, nowhere in any employment contract was there ever a clause saying "also, must be expected to make a complete arse of yourself in order to make the work place "fun". I work to earn money so I can have fun doing the things I enjoy. Sadly, big changes are coming in the UK freelance market and it's days may be numbered. The thought of having to go back to work in a fun factory? Kill me now.
I blew off my company's holiday party this year. Well I actually went there after my supervisor "highly suggested" I go to it. When I got there the venue's they rented parking lot was full and only option was to pay city parking. Co-workers said it was really lame, people just ate then they did a presents raffle that took forever, there wasn't anything else to do there.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one in the world that hates all the crap on LinkedIn, especially the “Women in (insert industry name here)” diversity events. Wonder if the new CEO of LinkedIn will improve it...
Oh god I know I'm 4 years late HOLY SHIT its so incredibly fake and HRish. Like "will we hire more women for important position? Fuck no, here's 10k, organise some bullshit event talking about how important it is for women to have important positions" for 1k and 9k for marketing purposes so every goddamn person registered on LinkedIn sees it and for bribes to local newspapers so they talk about it
Bro....those pain toilets have to be a wicked violation of the ADA and probably OSHA regulations as well. Imagine someone with a digestive disease or disability having to use this thing uncomfortably and possibly to the detriment of their wellbeing. These companies are ruthless.
I don't know if this makes me a child at heart but I don't mind when companies decorate their offices for the holidays. As long has I keep getting my benefits and bonuses then office decoration is just a plus... I just don't want to be the person to has to put up the decoration and take it down.
My friends grandpa owns an insurance company and their holiday parties are usually really fun but that's only because they throw a block party and all of the companies on the block are a part of it as well as strangers. There's live entertainment and me and my friends get free food and drinks because he owns a pub on the block as well. 😜
Literally nobody cares about each other at work, everyone just plays along because they dont want to get flagged as not a 'team-player', but honestly people want to be left alone and gtfo when their shifts over, all this stuff just creeps me out.

@@dcjohnson2490 Cubicles are a godsent, compared to just being placed in a giant room! Really happy to hear that you like your cubicle! And Merry Christmas :)
Yeah dude I saw some shitty office spaces where all the people are sitting at very long tables and everyone can see/hear everyone. That is a real hell. But the idea there is probably that everyone can monitor everyone so nobody is slacking. That is inhuman at the very least.
Could you guys imagine someone with a bunch of PhDs or MBAs or JD have their heads pasted on the dancing elf’s? This is humiliating and embarrassing. Why would you do this to someone? It’s so undignified.
Well I'm a working student, so I still can say that I need to learn for exams. Edit: My boss said this year. We can't wait until you finish school. It would be nice to have you on the xmas party. I'm like 🤢: "I will find ways to ditch that."
In my last workplace they called those people voluntold instead of volunteer. You got it? Cause they didn't volunteer but told to volunteer. Hahaha. Hilarious 😐
I worked for Verizon in a regional office for almost 4 years and at the beginning of that last year my manager called me into his office and asked me why I didn't go to any of the "team functions." I told him 3 reasons: I don't want to, I have to spend my time and money, and it does nothing for the "team." He visibly became annoyed but didn't sound it. Two months later a write up from 2 years earlier, I had 2 family members die and some personal health issues so I took an extended leave and got it, came up and they fired me. Holiday parties from a company mean nothing to most people, and companies will treat you as an expendable asset if you "damage morale."
The cringe is real, I used to DJ corporate Christmas parties - there is nothing worse than trying to get people to dance when nobody wants to be there. They are looking at the clock itching to leave and making awkward conversation with people they don't like while I drop the latest Top 40 praying someone will dance...
"...and I think the holiday pot-luck here at Obium is..." That woman's voice makes me want to hack off my own head with a rusty cleaver. Our supervisor used to try to get us to adorn our workspaces with Xmas decorations and then have a contest to see whose work area was the most Xmassy. We'd come last every single year because we did absolutely nothing other than the actual work we were being paid to do. If you were part of the team that won, you got a $20 grocery voucher. It was all deeply underwhelming.
Love the signs from Witcher on your second monitor.I remember I got an invite to a New Years celebration by the Russian Embassy in Vienna,that was an actual party(won’t say anymore).
That reminds me one onboarding session I had in a famous German startup. 18 years old interns and 30-40 years old seniors participated in it together. The first thing to know each other was ridiculous dancing and trying to fill some paper form with nonsense words 🤣 HR, who was an organizer, said that I'm Russian Bear and not able to have fun.
@@MrFuguDataScience You probably don't care, but I was subcontracting for Kiewit for 4 months in some huge construction project for a pipeline in Canada. For every worker there were 3 foremen. In the span of 4 months, a dozen people got fired. Any screw up (as a foreman) was a a reason to get fired. Working there wasn't all that bad. But there was a silly, absurd even, emphasis on safety. You had to fill in a 6 page safety form before work in addition to a 1 hour safety meeting with stretches. Overall, if you're just a regular worker (not a foreman) you'll be fine. It's just business as usual. On the other hand, foremen are ratting each other out and stepping on their toes with all this safety nonesense. Kiewit is the kind of company which hires 40 people and keeps 10. It's typical for any large company to do so.
imo a company party really only works if the company is made up of friends that started it together. else i would not really wish to mix job and free time.
Our company posts those same elves with face replaced video every year on the CCTV's at work with updates. They use supervisor pictures. It's annoying.

That is a real hell. But the idea there is probably that everyone can monitor everyone so nobody is slacking. That is inhuman at the very least.
You're saying what a lot of us feel
Thanks
Could you guys imagine someone with a bunch of PhDs or MBAs or JD have their heads pasted on the dancing elf’s? This is humiliating and embarrassing. Why would you do this to someone? It’s so undignified.
No one:
OGV Energy: We're gonna make a meme with twerkin elves and your face is in it!
Love the fast paced energy in the video. Got me laughing hard. Merry Christmas!
How to not get in trouble in company parties?
Don't go to company parties.
Exactly
Oh man I could not control my laughter throughout 😂
Birthday celebrations at workplace bring me to tears. Fakest shit ever.
Well I'm a working student, so I still can say that I need to learn for exams. Edit: My boss said this year. We can't wait until you finish school. It would be nice to have you on the xmas party. I'm like 🤢: "I will find ways to ditch that."
I'm betting your mother will magically get sick and need you round the time of every christmas party.
Sounds like a creep.
It’s also ridiculous how much budgets are for these parties. For my company the summer party is 40K and the Christmas one is 60K.
bro, looks like slaves are volunteers nowadays
The word "slave" is spot on. Congrats on being woke.
The slaves need to have the illusion of free will. Decorations help.
Wow dont compare slaves with these people. Slaves were treated with at least some dignity
In my last workplace they called those people voluntold instead of volunteer. You got it? Cause they didn't volunteer but told to volunteer. Hahaha. Hilarious 😐
Popcorn + Joshuas clips.
9:08 Didn't know satan celebrated Christmas
Merry Christmas josh! I wish you had a happy year and i wish 2020 will be much better for you.
No it wasn’t. 2020 sucked balls. It was terrible. Let’s catch up in 2021 to see if it was any better
Man, what you are saying makes so much sense. Please keep on creating content
If companies want you off the toilet faster, buy better toilet paper. Or spring for most wipes. Definitely speeds up back end work flow.
I worked for Verizon in a regional office for almost 4 years and at the beginning of that last year my manager called me into his office and asked me why I didn't go to any of the "team functions." I told him 3 reasons: I don't want to, I have to spend my time and money, and it does nothing for the "team." He visibly became annoyed but didn't sound it. Two months later a write up from 2 years earlier, I had 2 family members die and some personal health issues so I took an extended leave and got it, came up and they fired me.
Holiday parties from a company mean nothing to most people, and companies will treat you as an expendable asset if you "damage morale."
As a snowboarder i would consider the bathroom work out a plus
Please do not stop these series I beg you :D
The audio at the second to last company is like at that Never illegally download video hahahahahaha
Its been 10 years since I willingly went to office party. Told my boss I wouldn't go to anymore unpaid meetings.
What people put themselves through to have a "happy holiday" hurts my soul and makes me glad I don't do this.
Lol I'm literally sitting here @ work watching this and no body else is here but me an another lol. great video though.
The cringe is real, I used to DJ corporate Christmas parties - there is nothing worse than trying to get people to dance when nobody wants to be there. They are looking at the clock itching to leave and making awkward conversation with people they don't like while I drop the latest Top 40 praying someone will dance...
That's fuckin bleak
companies do everything but let you go home and spend time with your family
I was waiting for this :)
What's even more sad is when the cheap Christmas decorations that do nothing for office morale are still up in April.
Wow, those videos are punch to the kidneys. Merry Cringemas Josh, and thanks for all the tips and intel you've given us this year.
2:19 "we live in great times 2019"
aged like milk outside the freezer
See me living the freelance life after school. I can’t handle all this cringe every day..
Thought that intro was something you knocked up to mock a random company, not an actual company's Merry Christmas video :D
"...and I think the holiday pot-luck here at Obium is..." That woman's voice makes me want to hack off my own head with a rusty cleaver.
Our supervisor used to try to get us to adorn our workspaces with Xmas decorations and then have a contest to see whose work area was the most Xmassy. We'd come last every single year because we did absolutely nothing other than the actual work we were being paid to do. If you were part of the team that won, you got a $20 grocery voucher. It was all deeply underwhelming.
Where do you get all these videos... That intro was LOL
Love the signs from Witcher on your second monitor.I remember I got an invite to a New Years celebration by the Russian Embassy in Vienna,that was an actual party(won’t say anymore).
Merry christmas josh!!!
Soon coming to your company, the Toilet Cam, to monitor how long it takes to shit on company time!
Wish you get to 200k by new years eve/day. It's not too unrealistic, I believe you can make it. Keep it up.
That reminds me one onboarding session I had in a famous German startup. 18 years old interns and 30-40 years old seniors participated in it together.
The first thing to know each other was ridiculous dancing and trying to fill some paper form with nonsense words 🤣
HR, who was an organizer, said that I'm Russian Bear and not able to have fun.
German weasels
See that's why I love Russians, you guys are so real.
Tarts in the shape of a pentagram? No thanks.
Holy crap that project engineer for Kiewit was working, I applied for them before uh oh...
Kiewit is an insane company to work for. People are pointing fingers. People are getting fired left and right. New people arrive.
@@user-xg6zz8qs3q , glad they never contacted me then. Thanks
@@MrFuguDataScience You probably don't care, but I was subcontracting for Kiewit for 4 months in some huge construction project for a pipeline in Canada. For every worker there were 3 foremen. In the span of 4 months, a dozen people got fired. Any screw up (as a foreman) was a a reason to get fired. Working there wasn't all that bad. But there was a silly, absurd even, emphasis on safety. You had to fill in a 6 page safety form before work in addition to a 1 hour safety meeting with stretches. Overall, if you're just a regular worker (not a foreman) you'll be fine. It's just business as usual. On the other hand, foremen are ratting each other out and stepping on their toes with all this safety nonesense. Kiewit is the kind of company which hires 40 people and keeps 10. It's typical for any large company to do so.
imo a company party really only works if the company is made up of friends that started it together.
else i would not really wish to mix job and free time.
well a company staff only party should always be held during business hours.
Our company posts those same elves with face replaced video every year on the CCTV's at work with updates. They use supervisor pictures. It's annoying.
