I kind of get it from OPs side though. Sitting around with nothing to do is a whole lot worse than helping out with something you can do. Ofc I agree that he should've gotten paid for it well before all this but I get why he didn't fuss over it.
First Story: Well it seems like this new warehouse manager seemed to not be very observant or pays much attention. The fact he didn’t see the red flag in that phrase "can I get that in writing" is insane. Honestly, this entire company's management is a shitshow. The warehouse manager screwed everyone over by telling OP to not fix any issues with the ERP and I find it funny that the VP still expected OP to continue to do extra work for free. Second Story: Why is K even a boss if she treats her employees like this? I feel like she just wanted to try to use this training as a power play Third Story: This hospital HR sounds absolutely useless. The fact that it took having the cops show up and make a report for them to actually do something is baffling Comment: Lmaoo, I bet the thief really enjoyed that cat food 😂 Fourth Story: I would’ve dropped Bridezilla as a friend after the first tantrum for not getting her way. The fact it took this long shows how insanely patient they all are
I'd have pissed on the Tuna salad too. If someone confronts me about it, I'll just say they're not allowed to shame me because of my sexual preferences. I'll happily be known as the "Piss-eating guy" if it means getting a serial food thief gets to eat wet cat food with piss.
i bet that in the third story that the food thief was from HR. they only did something when the choice was between continue stealing/covering for their coworker and getting fired.
2nd story: play stupid games, win stupid prizes 🤷♀️. K got too high on the power trip she didn't realise her employees could research if she's spewing BS.
As a glasses wearer, that last story makes me so mad. It’s like, glasses have been so normalized that people think it’s fine to treat glasses like they’re not a disability aid. It’s not her fault she can’t see, and not everyone can/is comfortable wearing contacts. She shouldn’t have to be blind for the day because a bridezilla doesn’t want her wearing her glasses.
I truly don't understand that either. I have to wear my glasses and I definitely wore them walking down the aisle at my own wedding and 2 that I was a bridesmaid for
--- To "normalized"-topic Not to also mention that before 1950's or perhaps even later, eyeglasses / spectacles were a super-luxury items; pretty much no plebian who really needed them had one. And aside for the "dollar-store"-reading-glasses, the prespriction-spectacles as a whole package still ain't an inexpensive investement. So this bridezilla was just plain stupid; good riddance! ---
Right, and something about how Rslash phrased his comment irked me a little. "if they peaced out...over glasses, this is a long time coming" Even if there wasn't a history of the bridezilla doing this shit they would be well within their rights to storm out. As you said, it's a disability aid, so regardless of the past they would, of course, storm out
The person who handles payroll for where I work and I have been butting heads over her demands that I fill out my time sheet off the clock. We all work for the city where we live and I refuse to back down even citing city codes and federal labor laws. I told her until I get an e-mail from her stating that she expects me to do this work on my (unpaid) lunch, I will not do so.
I hate that so many people let jobs exploit the heck out of them by making them do things that they dont get paid for. And making them feel like the bad guys by not doing extra.
IKR!! Like the actual audacity to get mad at OP for not doing FREE WORK after being BITCHED at by multiple people is actually insane. I really can't wrap my head around how TF he thought OP was just gonna do it with no incentive at all
@@demonicdragongod3334 Exactly! When the VP finds out what the new manager did and storms off to handle him, I thought, “Oh good! The VP realizes how crucial OP is and he’s going to make things right!” And then the VP comes back and asks OP to fix shit and OP is like “I would like to be fairly and adequately compensated for the additional work and responsibilities required of me.” And somehow THAT’S completely unreasonable!? Seriously!? “I cannot believe you!” while storming back out!?!? God they’re so obnoxious and entitled!!
Did I miss something in the story? It sounded like when he was working on that, it was INSTEAD of his warehouse work, not like he worked til 5pm on his normal job then stayed til 8pm working on ERP or something. If an ERP specialist can pull a higher salary, then sure, underpaid, but not "working for free" ??
@@gavinjenkins899 it is working for free if your doing both your contracted job and stuff outside of it while not being paid for the extra stuff. So it would be like going to a job to be a cashier but the job asks you to also clean the toilets as an additional duty with no extra pay for it
1st Story: The fact that OP was doing all that extra work for free with no reward says a lot about the company. OP should’ve negotiated a raise from the start. NEVER do extra work like that for free! I’ll never understand why corporate punish/exploit go-getters, like they think it won’t blow up in their faces. OP NEEDS to see how much they’re worth. Hell, I would’ve seen if that ERP company had any openings. Opening resume experience would be: “I’m the reason why my warehouse company discontinued your services”
Just wanted to shout out my dad: last night he asked "what's that podcast you listen to in the shower? The adventures of Opie?" I listen to your uploads daily when I shower and he’s heard you say OP so many times that he had to ask about their crazy life 😂 Thank you for giving us that opportunity to laugh!
That's hilarious, I love it. Your Dad must me thinking that Opie is the most unlucky, dramatic, troublemaking busybody to get into all this drama Or Opie just has a hell of an active imagination
Story 1: Sometimes, people don't realize how much extra work is being done by one employee until you tell them not to do it anymore. But if you're getting to this point, you might want to question your own abilities as a manager
Been there. A lot of office time is eaten up by inefficiency. When I changed jobs, my old boss had to hire two full time people to replace the amount of work I was doing solo. Likewise, you can get a lot of free time and reduce your workload by eliminating inefficiencies.
I used to work at a metal factory and while my job was just cutting metal and whatnot I was also the one who printed out the orders of what to do for my coworkers from the computer system. That system was a pain and I was the only one on the floor who knew how to handle it, mostly because I've poked around with everything. When I was laid off someone higher up definitely had to come down and work with the lower peasants for quite a while. Bosses rarely seem to understand the little things that keeps the engine going.
Story 2: I don't know if this is just power tripping or just her getting joy out of torturing all of you but everything you listed here has got to be illegal. I feel like somebody could sue at least for unnecessarily putting their staff in danger even though there was a remote alternative.
Story 4: Imagine killing your friendships over glasses (well, it's more of a last straw). Like, why make such a big deal over it? It's not like glasses is going to run an image! People need to see y'know
So disappointed in the remote training OP. That was a perfect moment to take a stand and explain to your coworkers how awful she is, and now you had proof she makes EVERYONE suffer just for fun. Easily could have had a mass walkout, better wages etc. But she didn't. We need more aggressive workers willing to hold bosses accountable.
The last story gave me flashbacks to how I pissed out of a almost 9-year friendship with a woman who behaved like the bridezilla. Let's call her Molly. To give you an accurate description, Molly was a blonde, blue-eyed, 40-something when I met her and was well into her 50s when I cut her off. She had two kids, was on her second marriage and was about to become a grandmother by the time I cut her off. Despite her age, she had the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old. Molly had no respect for boundaries, zero comprehension of the word no and no accountability that there are reprisals as well as consequences for her actions. Whenever she didn't get her way, it was a stage for meltdown of a tantrum that would have embarrassed a toddler. When the crocodile tears stopped, she went into full victim mode: blame shifting, name calling, personal attacks, insults, gaslighting, running to flying monkeys to start smear campaigns and then trying to reverse everything when the inevitable guilt set in. Make no mistake, Molly never ever felt guilty for the way she treated me or anyone else: she was just absolutely terrified of people finding out what she was truly like. Rule number one of living in this world: never underestimate people. underestimated me. I was well past done dealing with her crap when my estranged father passed away from stage 4 lung cancer. Molly knew we did not have a good relationship. As stated, Molly did not react well to people laying down boundaries or telling her no. So when I did enforce my boundaries and let her know that I was done with her crap, she outed me to him. This widened and already irreparable rift between the two of us and my father ended up disowning me. So, when he died, she couldn't have cared less and had the absolute nerve to say, this is a direct quote: “Well you two never got along anyway. “ That was it for me. I called her a few choice names and hung up on her. Naturally, she tried to do the whole private messaging in text messaging thing with a bunch of half-assed apologies the whole “I'm sorry but” routine. Her messages went unanswered. I did hear through the grapevine that she tried to spin everything in her favor but was absolutely lambasted by her husband and even her daughter, who was just as bad as she was, but apparently realized her mom had gone too far. Her ability to hit below the belt on that day of all days when I had lost a parentjust showed me how cruel she really was underneath her fake smile and goofy laugh. I used to think that she could be high maintenance and even if it temperamental, but in reality she was just an overgrown middle school mean girl who never mentally matured past the adolescent bully mindset. This was the last straw as I realized that just when I thought she couldn't dig any lower, Molly went and found a sub basement. I cut her off and I haven't had any contact with her since.
As someone studying to get an IT Cert, I LOVE the IT Stories. Requesting another episode of Tales From The Help Desk/Tech Support! Thanks for your hard work rSlash!
For the it story: I obviously don't know how big the raise was that he got, but he should've gotten an offer of atleast what the company was paying the consultants. He also had a very strong bargaining position so I hope he gets paid what he deserves!
Okay seriously Why nobody tells the freshly hired managers that there is one specific guy on your team who you should never ever ever EVER antagonize or the whole company would go down in an instant?
This was in a fairly recent video actually. The Essential Guy was late a couple times (stayed a little late to make up for it, plus worked on weekends) and Supervisor wrote him up telling him he had to work his exact schedule. So he maliciously complied. No more additional time to make this one super critical part that was the base for the company’s product. It didn’t take long for the dominoes to come crashing down. They asked Critical Guy what he required to return to working his previous schedule. He told his bosses he never wanted to work with that supervisor again. Supervisor was fired. Work returned to normal (after clearing a big backlog). New hires were all told NEVER mess with Critical Guy. It was a pretty great story!
Man, that bridezilla story. I know it’s super easy to forget nowadays bc glasses are very normalized and accessorized, and that’s great! But glasses are considered a medical device for a reason. A request to remove them for the wedding/pictures? Sure, fine. Every glasses-wearing theater kid has dealt with that, but you better give a heads up so they can prepare to get/bring contacts if their eyesight is bad enough. Id argue it’d be reasonable to ask the bride to help pay for contacts if they didn’t have any already, bc you need an entire check up to get them prescribed and fitted and then a full week of being taught how to use them and training your eyes to accept them, and you can’t exactly just buy a couple of pairs at a time so that’s a lot of spare contacts you might not even use. A screaming-match demand the day of with no consideration of the compromise? Not alright. If this was new behavior on the Bridezilla’s part, it might be worth a discussion to figure out what’s up, though I also wouldn’t blame them for dropping her over this. Considering this is not their first issue with her? Yeah, this is a heavy straw to break the camel’s back. I hope they enjoyed their meal 😄
*Bridezilla:* If you don't like it, I dare you to leave! *Bridesmaids & Maid Of Honour:* _[Collectively walk away]_ *Bridezilla:* You weren't supposed to do that! You were supposed to acquiesce!😢
yo so let me get this straight. the VP cut the consultants so OP could be the ERP person. the surpervisor ruined that and somehow convinced the VP to go back to the consultants? That VP is just as bad as the supervisor they are both idiots lol
I simply have never understood bosses stealth promoted/increasing your workload and getting offended when you ask for more money given your higher value, then of course, they go off and spend MORE money then they would have on you just so they dont have to... out of what, spite?
Yea I know. I was confused when I heard it because I didn't know what else it could stand for but it clearly wasn't that. It is funny to imagine though
As someone who works in HR, that fiasco was a massive lawsuit waiting to happen. Not paying employees is a HUGE violation of labor laws. The company could have been MASSIVELY screwed
I'll say about that first story: in a professional context, when someone demands to know why I've done one thing but will not listen when I tell them, it's going to get hot. Once I've said what I've done, if my actions were in error I'll take my lumps but I'll be given the chance to explain what and why and if I'm not given that, I promise that no one can speak loudly and longer than I can. I'll be getting heard, one way or the other.
I had a food thief problem at a summer camp job and everyone was sick of it. So I decided to make the "Satan's burn" sandwich. Classic wet catfood, Carolina Reapers, ipecac syrup, chocolate laxatives, and crab apple juice. We found out very quickly who was stealing food, I got in some trouble but was off easy because the food theif stole from the owner of the camp as well.
I liked the ERP story, but I think OP could've handled asking for a raise better. Perhaps what's in the story isn't a direct quote, so there could've been more to it. But as stated, it would really look like intentional malicious compliance. If you cared about your workplace, you could've warned someone. So as a company exec, I really wouldn't expect him to want to reward OP's behavior and mindset. Having employees, especially high up/important employees who can't wait for any excuse to sabotage the company AND all its workers to extort them out of more money isn't a good strategy. Don't forget, there was a warehouse full of employees who didn't get paid. If it were me, I'd use wording like "I'd like your assistance to make some changes to make sure this can't happen again." You're immediately going to look like a company advocate, not a selfish money grabber. List the steps you think will help fix it. Namely, the job title change. Then at the end, bring up that the issue made you realize that you had taken on additional responsibilities, but weren't being compensated. I'd like to start a path that gets me into a promotion for my extra hard work for this company." Then it doesn't sound like an ultimatum: pay me or I'm not doing it. It sounds like you're going to start working on it now, and you'd really like if this ended in the company letting you know how valuable you really are. You can always ultimatum later, when the company isn't at its knees. But as it stands, it sounds pretty bad.
Story 1 : How many times do we have to teach you this lesson Old man don't piss off the mvp of your company!!. Story 2 : K is a damn fool.. Story 3 : The husband played dirty but to stop the thief he had no other choice... If I was him I would've bought the spiciest cheese in the universe to teach the thief a lesson.. Story 4 : bridezilla was being a bully and the bully got stomped out.. F her .. the bridesmaides did the right thing by pretty much telling the bridezilla to go hump a stump for trying to bully another person..
I can totally see where the warehouse guy is coming from, but I could never bring myself to just sit and watch a trainwreck in slowmotion like that. I would have just gone to the VP as soon as my manager made the stupid decision and avoid costing the company a bunch of money and my coworkers a bunch of undue stress.
*Me who knows a different meaning for ERP* Sooo what does ERP short for within Story 1? cause those 3 letters mean something *completely different* as a MMO Gamer XD
Ok. Requeijão is NOT like cream cheese. It's softer, it's _BETTER._ And I love cream cheese. It's closer to laughing cow, flavour-wise, and softer. And it's _worth_ the fight (whereas cream cheese is not)! I miss it so much.
7:30 seriously? Just give him a little pittance and they would have saved so much money. But no, they chose to pay out the butt with the old consultants. Don’t feel sorry for that company at all. Edit: guess they boss finally got over himself and did the one thing that could save the situation.
Online gaming has ruined me so badly that I can't hear ERP and take it seriously. Like the entire time I was imagining company funded catgirls and bunny boys doing their thing.
--- For clarity to possibly confused readers of this thread: "ERP" on this video is "Enterprise Resource Planning". Business-wise commonly "CRM" is also mentioned which stands for “Customer Relationship Management". ERP in chats = "erotic roleplay" /the-more-you-know-jingle ---
Story 1: The story of a not confident employee. If he would be confident, he would call the ERP consultants and get a job there. Or better get information to get a certification on the ERP system and consult on his own. Imagine a normal warehouse inventory pay to a 200$ per hour consultant pay added to the monthly few of consulting them. That is also the reason why workers who are comfortable and content with their job work for far less pay as their coworkers who know their value and are not afraid to change companies.
Someone kept stealing my pizza slices I'd leave in the frig. So one day I carefully peeled back the cheese and laced the pizza with 5 pills worth of crushed Ex-Lax. Found out it was the security guard stealing my food by the sounds of his groaning and painful moans in the toilet. He never stole from the frig or me again.
The less story about the glasses is ableist. People often don’t think about the fact that without glasses, many glasses users would be legally blind. That wasn’t a trivial matter, and was more than enough on its own to be a reason to cut off a friendship. I wear glasses. if I had a friend demanding I not wear them all that tells me is that my friend does not give a shit about my basic needs and values vanity over my ability to fucking see.
Regarding the story of stolen lunch food, I witnessed a similar problem as a contractor. We had a team of (5) programmers working at a client site, developing and installing a new computer system. Because of the office’s remote location it wasn’t possible to go out to lunch, eat and get back within an hour so we were forced to bring lunch. It was summer and we with much grudging we were finally permitted to place our lunches in the office refrigerator. On of my team members complained that someone had stolen part of his lunch, several times. I relayed the complaint to our company contact in the office who ignored the problem, suggested that WE were the problem and WE did not need to use the common refrigerator. After about a week we started spreading a rumor about a new std that would turn your pee blue if you contracted the virus and this symptom usually resulted in a fatality. The following week we laced several lunch desserts with methyl blue crystals and waited. What followed was chaos as an ambulance was called for the owner and his son. Seems they both started peeing blue the same afternoon. All office staff and onsite contractors were lectured about malicious pranks but lunches were never disturbed or stolen again.
Fun fact: malicious compliance has another name. Italian strike or white strike, by which workers only do what they are contractually obligated to and nothing more. This has been known to reduce productivity by anywhere between 30% and 50%. What I'm saying is, you deserve a raise. Go unionize.
Oof.. Inventory / ERP story, i don't want to sound like a stiff and ruin OP's parade but that ERP maintenance block from his boss should have been reported to Management / HR right away, that was gonna royally DUCK a lot of people including his co-workers. You wanna MC to the deserving few, fine, but don't drag everyone else into it.. Then once the consultancy got slammed and couldn't fix the HR issue on time OP's hands would have been clean and he would have nailed himself a fat raise.
1st Story- Know your worth. OP could have simply explained how much the company is paying for the costs of maintaining the ERPit versus, how much he would save the company in time (time is money) to fix it and even with the raise that he was rightfully due, how much money it would have saved the company in the long run.
Hey Rslash, I think there’s a mixup with your time stamps going on. I went to yesterdays video and checked those time stamps, and they match the stories from today. The ones on this video don’t match up at all
Story 1: I am a great it-tech, I am however a lousy at pointing out what a great tech I am and most of my managers through out the years have no idea what I do, they just call me in everytime some emergency happens or something complicated needs to be implemented then it's out of their hair (even if I have never been the only tech at any of my jobs, they still call me no matter if it's something withing my responsibilities or not)..... this basically ends up with that every job I quit they are shocked when I in my exit meeting explain what I do and what responsibilities I have, every job I have had they end up employing three or more people to half decently replace me so I feel for OP in that story (most good IT-tech should have our managers salaries and our managers often should not have a job in a decently ran universe).
Good morning RSlash, thank you for another episode, just wanted to let you know that your timestamps are wrong. Maybe they were meant for another video.
10:50 y’all need to understand that if this happens you DO have the right and borderline obligation to tell ANY boss that tries to ignore health and safety concerns that you will NOT be following those orders.
Bosses: Antagonize the workhorse employees carrying the office Workhorse Employee: Quits or stops doing what they do to carry the office Office: Devolves into complete chaos Bosses: Why would you do that?
4:12 (Just had to pause and add) "I tell him to send me that in writing..." How is this STILL happening? How is this STILL not raising all kinds of alarm bells? :D
14:23, but did they find out who the food thief ultimately was, though? I feel like that is one loose end that the OP could clear up for everyone else.
Hey Rslash, the time stamps in recent videos often seem to be incorrect, especially this video. Is that a side effect of watching the videos too early after they’re posted and some weird YT editing thing causes a problem? Are you maybe out of sync with your upload schedule? Just wanted to let you know
I used to work 14 hr shifts doing physical labor, so I had 2 breakfasts{one for 4 am and one for 7 am} one lunch, and a dinner snack, and everyday at lunch my lunch would be gone out of the oven or freezer. It was always something dumb like a frozen burrito or pizza or something. So then the rest of the day i had to eat my snack then work the demanding work the next 5 hrs empty stomach. I confronted everyone the third day since I didn't know who was doing it, and people would do shit to F with you anyway, that they better stop cuz it was pissing me off. next day it was gone again. No surprise cuz usually if they knew it got to you, they increased their efforts. So for the following day i brought two lunches but hid one in my pack {you weren't supposed to have food in the plant but like hell I was going hungry another day} and for my decoy lunch, I ground an entire box of ex-lax, tore a corner off my frozen burrito and mixed it in the beans with a straw. Wrapped it in foil and put it in the warming oven. lunch time came and it was gone. I pulled my real lunch out and ate it. Never found out who was doing it, but it was the last time anyone messed with my lunch for the next 3 years, so it must have worked well enough word got around haha
1st story: I do hope OP learned the lesson. Never, EVER, work for free for your employer. Mid to higher management prefer to pay thousands over admitting they were wrong. Last story: Godspeed to whoever marry that whacko.
Story 1: most people are WAY too educated, just at a base level, to be doing the minimum wage work of our parent’s generation. We’re graduating from high school and college at higher rates than ever. The wrench in progress are people like OP, who do nothing to defend the value of their labor until they walk right into a malicious compliance situation. Discuss wages and work burdens, people!!!
Honestly my mind went into the gutter with the first story the moment ERP was mentioned because I didn't think of anything else except for erotic roleplay XDD
I've never understood the stance of the lunch thief at work nor the ones that defend them. You never know what you are potentially consuming, it's blatant theft, and the victim is often times told a variance of "oh well". That "oh well" opens up the door for something far scarier than jail time, malicious revenge.
Well, I occasionally get a circular mail telling everyone to do the maximum allowed time of work whenever possible, but I simply assume that it's not meant for me. Same as pretty much everyone I've talked to about it. If I should ever get told that _personally,_ I would do exactly that - do exactly (well, at most) the number of hours we are legally allowed to do. And _count_ everything that the law views as working hours as such - which quite often is just sitting around and waiting, or even laying down for a little nap, since we "officially" need to supervise something that's usually impossible to supervise due to the circumstances (and even if it were, it'd just be watching people who know what they're doing while sipping a coffee or so). But instead of, as most do now, count that as break time, we'd count it as work time - which of course would often cut _massively_ into the actual hours we'd be allowed to work, so in the end, we would _actually_ work less on a lot of days.... Thankfully, even our direct supervisors (let alone our boss who knows all too well that we're doing more work that we would technically be allowed to) know not to push that particular button... Especially since they'd be very hard pressed to find replacements (there's a shortage of tens of thousands of workers... and more are retiring each year than new ones coming out of training...)
Second story: if this happens in the US make them fire you. "I won’t be going and if you have a problem with that it's your own issue." If you get fired they have to pay unemployment and possibly legal fees.
Heh, that food theft thing at the end... I would have been _very_ tempted to go with an idea from a Pretender episode, make a nice meal that's almost certain to get stolen, and mix in a decent amount of laxative... I know, not really the best idea since it's effectively bodily harm, a good deal worse than theft, but still...
Those food stolen at work stories are some of my favorites. As soon as I hear a story going that route I always wonder how creative they are going to get in this one. Lol
You could say it was a genius move to wait til when he did to ask for the raise and title. Do you really think that without the company being in the lurch they were in , they would have agreed to his raise and title? Letting them see how good he was and then having this situation fall in his lap, it was the perfect time to ask. At that point, what choice did they have but to agree.
honestly if the guy told me please sign it, I would've said double the pay and we have a deal. He would've probably kicked and fussed about it but it's better than losing the company for it.
buisness owners are so bad at making money, why do we let them run businesses if they'd rather cost themselves money to avoid paying their employees what they're due. it's like it's more about cruelty than even making money anymore. dude's LITERALLY sad he has to pay LESS to let his employee have a raise and FIX IT FASTER
some context for the ERP story. ERP consultants (or any other specialty software consultants) are in upper ranks in terms of payment. a quick search will show that a senior consultant can easily go for 100+ an hour. the fact that he was doing it for no pay fucked me up.
It's weird to me that cops are uncommon at hospitals in that country. I work inn am emergency room in Canada. Cops practically work there between arrests, victims, abusive patients being trespassed.🤣
Story 1: Tbh that new manager is a blessing in disguise, the fact that OP wasn't being paid more or anything for maintaining the whole system bugs me.
Fr! If I were op I would have asked for a raise and a new title, otherwise I wouldn't do a damn thing
@@cocobako2582 official head it guy
I kind of get it from OPs side though. Sitting around with nothing to do is a whole lot worse than helping out with something you can do.
Ofc I agree that he should've gotten paid for it well before all this but I get why he didn't fuss over it.
Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park: "Atleast he was allowed to live"
No kidding! The work OP was doing obviously deserved a raise considering how vital is clearly was.
First Story: Well it seems like this new warehouse manager seemed to not be very observant or pays much attention. The fact he didn’t see the red flag in that phrase "can I get that in writing" is insane. Honestly, this entire company's management is a shitshow. The warehouse manager screwed everyone over by telling OP to not fix any issues with the ERP and I find it funny that the VP still expected OP to continue to do extra work for free.
Second Story: Why is K even a boss if she treats her employees like this? I feel like she just wanted to try to use this training as a power play
Third Story: This hospital HR sounds absolutely useless. The fact that it took having the cops show up and make a report for them to actually do something is baffling
Comment: Lmaoo, I bet the thief really enjoyed that cat food 😂
Fourth Story: I would’ve dropped Bridezilla as a friend after the first tantrum for not getting her way. The fact it took this long shows how insanely patient they all are
I'd have pissed on the Tuna salad too. If someone confronts me about it, I'll just say they're not allowed to shame me because of my sexual preferences.
I'll happily be known as the "Piss-eating guy" if it means getting a serial food thief gets to eat wet cat food with piss.
i bet that in the third story that the food thief was from HR. they only did something when the choice was between continue stealing/covering for their coworker and getting fired.
2nd story: play stupid games, win stupid prizes 🤷♀️. K got too high on the power trip she didn't realise her employees could research if she's spewing BS.
@@yabe-kfptentacultist She played like she was God long enough she started to believe it
Calling the cops to come to the hospital for theft over some Cream cheese is such petty drama and I am LIVING FOR IT
As a glasses wearer, that last story makes me so mad. It’s like, glasses have been so normalized that people think it’s fine to treat glasses like they’re not a disability aid.
It’s not her fault she can’t see, and not everyone can/is comfortable wearing contacts. She shouldn’t have to be blind for the day because a bridezilla doesn’t want her wearing her glasses.
She should've pulled out a stick and said she'll just use that instead. And perhaps smack the bride a few times just to get her bearings.
I truly don't understand that either. I have to wear my glasses and I definitely wore them walking down the aisle at my own wedding and 2 that I was a bridesmaid for
I can't wear contacts because allergy.
So no no glasses wedding for me!
F..you bridezilla!
---
To "normalized"-topic
Not to also mention that before 1950's or perhaps even later,
eyeglasses / spectacles were a super-luxury items;
pretty much no plebian who really needed them had one.
And aside for the "dollar-store"-reading-glasses,
the prespriction-spectacles as a whole package still ain't an inexpensive investement.
So this bridezilla was just plain stupid;
good riddance!

Right, and something about how Rslash phrased his comment irked me a little. "if they peaced out...over glasses, this is a long time coming" Even if there wasn't a history of the bridezilla doing this shit they would be well within their rights to storm out. As you said, it's a disability aid, so regardless of the past they would, of course, storm out
As always, your first clue that you're making a terrible decision as a manager is when your employee asks for your new directive in writing.
It might as well be the DM asking the foolhardy paladin, “Are you sure?”
thats like the last warning. once you cross that you reach the point of no return.
@@abiean222 It’s why both phrases have such power - it’s the ONLY warning.
The person who handles payroll for where I work and I have been butting heads over her demands that I fill out my time sheet off the clock. We all work for the city where we live and I refuse to back down even citing city codes and federal labor laws. I told her until I get an e-mail from her stating that she expects me to do this work on my (unpaid) lunch, I will not do so.
@@sarahp5003 Definitely the right course of action. Stick to your guns!
I hate that so many people let jobs exploit the heck out of them by making them do things that they dont get paid for. And making them feel like the bad guys by not doing extra.
IKR!! Like the actual audacity to get mad at OP for not doing FREE WORK after being BITCHED at by multiple people is actually insane. I really can't wrap my head around how TF he thought OP was just gonna do it with no incentive at all
@@demonicdragongod3334
Exactly! When the VP finds out what the new manager did and storms off to handle him, I thought, “Oh good! The VP realizes how crucial OP is and he’s going to make things right!” And then the VP comes back and asks OP to fix shit and OP is like “I would like to be fairly and adequately compensated for the additional work and responsibilities required of me.” And somehow THAT’S completely unreasonable!? Seriously!? “I cannot believe you!” while storming back out!?!? God they’re so obnoxious and entitled!!
And if they stand their ground they're called quiet quitters.
Did I miss something in the story? It sounded like when he was working on that, it was INSTEAD of his warehouse work, not like he worked til 5pm on his normal job then stayed til 8pm working on ERP or something. If an ERP specialist can pull a higher salary, then sure, underpaid, but not "working for free" ??
@@gavinjenkins899 it is working for free if your doing both your contracted job and stuff outside of it while not being paid for the extra stuff. So it would be like going to a job to be a cashier but the job asks you to also clean the toilets as an additional duty with no extra pay for it
1st Story: The fact that OP was doing all that extra work for free with no reward says a lot about the company. OP should’ve negotiated a raise from the start. NEVER do extra work like that for free! I’ll never understand why corporate punish/exploit go-getters, like they think it won’t blow up in their faces. OP NEEDS to see how much they’re worth.
Hell, I would’ve seen if that ERP company had any openings. Opening resume experience would be: “I’m the reason why my warehouse company discontinued your services”
lmao
Manager: **Messes with the IT guy**
Everyone in the solar system: "Oh no, he did it, he did the thing."
Just wanted to shout out my dad: last night he asked "what's that podcast you listen to in the shower? The adventures of Opie?" I listen to your uploads daily when I shower and he’s heard you say OP so many times that he had to ask about their crazy life 😂
Thank you for giving us that opportunity to laugh!
That's hilarious, I love it.
Your Dad must me thinking that Opie is the most unlucky, dramatic, troublemaking busybody to get into all this drama
Or Opie just has a hell of an active imagination
Story 1: Sometimes, people don't realize how much extra work is being done by one employee until you tell them not to do it anymore.
But if you're getting to this point, you might want to question your own abilities as a manager
Been there. A lot of office time is eaten up by inefficiency. When I changed jobs, my old boss had to hire two full time people to replace the amount of work I was doing solo.
Likewise, you can get a lot of free time and reduce your workload by eliminating inefficiencies.
@@qdllc That's why you automate the fuck out of it if you can :D
I used to work at a metal factory and while my job was just cutting metal and whatnot I was also the one who printed out the orders of what to do for my coworkers from the computer system. That system was a pain and I was the only one on the floor who knew how to handle it, mostly because I've poked around with everything.
When I was laid off someone higher up definitely had to come down and work with the lower peasants for quite a while.
Bosses rarely seem to understand the little things that keeps the engine going.
My boss rest his soul passed in the middle of February and it has taken 5 of us to keep up with his work he did that for 12 years
They're called "manglement" for a reason.
Story 2: I don't know if this is just power tripping or just her getting joy out of torturing all of you but everything you listed here has got to be illegal. I feel like somebody could sue at least for unnecessarily putting their staff in danger even though there was a remote alternative.
If it's in America it's 100% illegal. Kind of makes me think op is lying
I'd say a little bit of both
Well she told her coworkers her personal medical information and that’s extremely illegal she could of sued for that one.
The divulging of personal medical information 100%
Boss should have been out of a job for that and that alone
Never mess with the IT guy! How many times do we have to teach this lesson?!

Story 4: Imagine killing your friendships over glasses (well, it's more of a last straw).
Like, why make such a big deal over it? It's not like glasses is going to run an image! People need to see y'know

i knooow~~
Because we are
We need a Discord channel 😂
So disappointed in the remote training OP. That was a perfect moment to take a stand and explain to your coworkers how awful she is, and now you had proof she makes EVERYONE suffer just for fun. Easily could have had a mass walkout, better wages etc. But she didn't. We need more aggressive workers willing to hold bosses accountable.
The last story gave me flashbacks to how I pissed out of a almost 9-year friendship with a woman who behaved like the bridezilla. Let's call her Molly. To give you an accurate description, Molly was a blonde, blue-eyed, 40-something when I met her and was well into her 50s when I cut her off. She had two kids, was on her second marriage and was about to become a grandmother by the time I cut her off. Despite her age, she had the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old. Molly had no respect for boundaries, zero comprehension of the word no and no accountability that there are reprisals as well as consequences for her actions. Whenever she didn't get her way, it was a stage for meltdown of a tantrum that would have embarrassed a toddler. When the crocodile tears stopped, she went into full victim mode: blame shifting, name calling, personal attacks, insults, gaslighting, running to flying monkeys to start smear campaigns and then trying to reverse everything when the inevitable guilt set in. Make no mistake, Molly never ever felt guilty for the way she treated me or anyone else: she was just absolutely terrified of people finding out what she was truly like. Rule number one of living in this world: never underestimate people. underestimated me. I was well past done dealing with her crap when my estranged father passed away from stage 4 lung cancer. Molly knew we did not have a good relationship. As stated, Molly did not react well to people laying down boundaries or telling her no. So when I did enforce my boundaries and let her know that I was done with her crap, she outed me to him. This widened and already irreparable rift between the two of us and my father ended up disowning me. So, when he died, she couldn't have cared less and had the absolute nerve to say, this is a direct quote: “Well you two never got along anyway. “ That was it for me. I called her a few choice names and hung up on her. Naturally, she tried to do the whole private messaging in text messaging thing with a bunch of half-assed apologies the whole “I'm sorry but” routine. Her messages went unanswered. I did hear through the grapevine that she tried to spin everything in her favor but was absolutely lambasted by her husband and even her daughter, who was just as bad as she was, but apparently realized her mom had gone too far. Her ability to hit below the belt on that day of all days when I had lost a parentjust showed me how cruel she really was underneath her fake smile and goofy laugh. I used to think that she could be high maintenance and even if it temperamental, but in reality she was just an overgrown middle school mean girl who never mentally matured past the adolescent bully mindset. This was the last straw as I realized that just when I thought she couldn't dig any lower, Molly went and found a sub basement. I cut her off and I haven't had any contact with her since.
I love the line "Can I have that in writing?" I get SOOOO giggly when OP says that!
As someone studying to get an IT Cert, I LOVE the IT Stories. Requesting another episode of Tales From The Help Desk/Tech Support!
Thanks for your hard work rSlash!
$200 per hour?! I'm working in the wrong industry.
I don't even make $15/hour.
God the fact that people don’t start immediately shaking when someone says “can you send me that in writing” is crazy to me 😂
For the it story: I obviously don't know how big the raise was that he got, but he should've gotten an offer of atleast what the company was paying the consultants. He also had a very strong bargaining position so I hope he gets paid what he deserves!
Okay seriously
Why nobody tells the freshly hired managers that there is one specific guy on your team who you should never ever ever EVER antagonize or the whole company would go down in an instant?
This was in a fairly recent video actually. The Essential Guy was late a couple times (stayed a little late to make up for it, plus worked on weekends) and Supervisor wrote him up telling him he had to work his exact schedule. So he maliciously complied. No more additional time to make this one super critical part that was the base for the company’s product. It didn’t take long for the dominoes to come crashing down. They asked Critical Guy what he required to return to working his previous schedule. He told his bosses he never wanted to work with that supervisor again. Supervisor was fired. Work returned to normal (after clearing a big backlog). New hires were all told NEVER mess with Critical Guy. It was a pretty great story!

Man, that bridezilla story.
I know it’s super easy to forget nowadays bc glasses are very normalized and accessorized, and that’s great! But glasses are considered a medical device for a reason.
A request to remove them for the wedding/pictures? Sure, fine. Every glasses-wearing theater kid has dealt with that, but you better give a heads up so they can prepare to get/bring contacts if their eyesight is bad enough. Id argue it’d be reasonable to ask the bride to help pay for contacts if they didn’t have any already, bc you need an entire check up to get them prescribed and fitted and then a full week of being taught how to use them and training your eyes to accept them, and you can’t exactly just buy a couple of pairs at a time so that’s a lot of spare contacts you might not even use.
A screaming-match demand the day of with no consideration of the compromise? Not alright.
If this was new behavior on the Bridezilla’s part, it might be worth a discussion to figure out what’s up, though I also wouldn’t blame them for dropping her over this. Considering this is not their first issue with her? Yeah, this is a heavy straw to break the camel’s back. I hope they enjoyed their meal 😄
Their company has an Erotic roleplay service for the warehouse staff? That's taking amenadies to a whole new level.
*Bridezilla:* If you don't like it, I dare you to leave!
*Bridesmaids & Maid Of Honour:* _[Collectively walk away]_
*Bridezilla:* You weren't supposed to do that! You were supposed to acquiesce!😢
yo so let me get this straight. the VP cut the consultants so OP could be the ERP person. the surpervisor ruined that and somehow convinced the VP to go back to the consultants? That VP is just as bad as the supervisor they are both idiots lol
I simply have never understood bosses stealth promoted/increasing your workload and getting offended when you ask for more money given your higher value, then of course, they go off and spend MORE money then they would have on you just so they dont have to... out of what, spite?
The first story is even more entertaining if you make ERP stand for "erotic role play."
Yea I know. I was confused when I heard it because I didn't know what else it could stand for but it clearly wasn't that. It is funny to imagine though
As someone who works in HR, that fiasco was a massive lawsuit waiting to happen. Not paying employees is a HUGE violation of labor laws. The company could have been MASSIVELY screwed
I'll say about that first story: in a professional context, when someone demands to know why I've done one thing but will not listen when I tell them, it's going to get hot. Once I've said what I've done, if my actions were in error I'll take my lumps but I'll be given the chance to explain what and why and if I'm not given that, I promise that no one can speak loudly and longer than I can. I'll be getting heard, one way or the other.
I had a food thief problem at a summer camp job and everyone was sick of it. So I decided to make the "Satan's burn" sandwich.
Classic wet catfood, Carolina Reapers, ipecac syrup, chocolate laxatives, and crab apple juice.
We found out very quickly who was stealing food, I got in some trouble but was off easy because the food theif stole from the owner of the camp as well.
R/slash's personal motto, "don't mess with the IT guy". He even got his family coat of arms updated to include it 😂😂😂
I liked the ERP story, but I think OP could've handled asking for a raise better. Perhaps what's in the story isn't a direct quote, so there could've been more to it. But as stated, it would really look like intentional malicious compliance. If you cared about your workplace, you could've warned someone. So as a company exec, I really wouldn't expect him to want to reward OP's behavior and mindset. Having employees, especially high up/important employees who can't wait for any excuse to sabotage the company AND all its workers to extort them out of more money isn't a good strategy. Don't forget, there was a warehouse full of employees who didn't get paid.
If it were me, I'd use wording like "I'd like your assistance to make some changes to make sure this can't happen again." You're immediately going to look like a company advocate, not a selfish money grabber. List the steps you think will help fix it. Namely, the job title change. Then at the end, bring up that the issue made you realize that you had taken on additional responsibilities, but weren't being compensated. I'd like to start a path that gets me into a promotion for my extra hard work for this company." Then it doesn't sound like an ultimatum: pay me or I'm not doing it. It sounds like you're going to start working on it now, and you'd really like if this ended in the company letting you know how valuable you really are. You can always ultimatum later, when the company isn't at its knees. But as it stands, it sounds pretty bad.
Story 1 : How many times do we have to teach you this lesson Old man don't piss off the mvp of your company!!.
Story 2 : K is a damn fool..
Story 3 : The husband played dirty but to stop the thief he had no other choice... If I was him I would've bought the spiciest cheese in the universe to teach the thief a lesson..
Story 4 : bridezilla was being a bully and the bully got stomped out.. F her .. the bridesmaides did the right thing by pretty much telling the bridezilla to go hump a stump for trying to bully another person..
I can totally see where the warehouse guy is coming from, but I could never bring myself to just sit and watch a trainwreck in slowmotion like that. I would have just gone to the VP as soon as my manager made the stupid decision and avoid costing the company a bunch of money and my coworkers a bunch of undue stress.
For the first story. All I gotta say is "If your good at something, never do it for free" and I feel like this fits perfectly.
*Me who knows a different meaning for ERP* Sooo what does ERP short for within Story 1? cause those 3 letters mean something *completely different* as a MMO Gamer XD
Ok. Requeijão is NOT like cream cheese.
It's softer, it's _BETTER._ And I love cream cheese.
It's closer to laughing cow, flavour-wise, and softer.
And it's _worth_ the fight (whereas cream cheese is not)!
I miss it so much.
Enjoyed all the stories 😎🤙
Would love to see an entire episode of MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE, PETTY REVENGE or PRO REVENGE dedicated to food theft 😂
7:30 seriously? Just give him a little pittance and they would have saved so much money.
But no, they chose to pay out the butt with the old consultants.
Don’t feel sorry for that company at all.
Edit: guess they boss finally got over himself and did the one thing that could save the situation.
Online gaming has ruined me so badly that I can't hear ERP and take it seriously. Like the entire time I was imagining company funded catgirls and bunny boys doing their thing.

---
For clarity to possibly confused readers of this thread:
"ERP" on this video is
"Enterprise Resource Planning".
Business-wise commonly
"CRM" is also mentioned which stands for “Customer Relationship Management".
ERP in chats = "erotic roleplay"
/the-more-you-know-jingle

Story 1:
The story of a not confident employee.
If he would be confident, he would call the ERP consultants and get a job there. Or better get information to get a certification on the ERP system and consult on his own.
Imagine a normal warehouse inventory pay to a 200$ per hour consultant pay added to the monthly few of consulting them.
That is also the reason why workers who are comfortable and content with their job work for far less pay as their coworkers who know their value and are not afraid to change companies.
As for the last story about bridezilla, I hope that the groom, now husband, has a very happy marriage with a hint of good luck and patiance.
For the first time in forever, I'm actually first 😃👍
Someone kept stealing my pizza slices I'd leave in the frig. So one day I carefully peeled back the cheese and laced the pizza with 5 pills worth of crushed Ex-Lax. Found out it was the security guard stealing my food by the sounds of his groaning and painful moans in the toilet. He never stole from the frig or me again.
15:38 THE BRIDEZILLA CALLED THEIR BLUFF.....ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WAS NO BLUFF HAHAHA LOL😈😈😈
The less story about the glasses is ableist. People often don’t think about the fact that without glasses, many glasses users would be legally blind. That wasn’t a trivial matter, and was more than enough on its own to be a reason to cut off a friendship.
I wear glasses. if I had a friend demanding I not wear them all that tells me is that my friend does not give a shit about my basic needs and values vanity over my ability to fucking see.
Regarding the story of stolen lunch food, I witnessed a similar problem as a contractor. We had a team of (5) programmers working at a client site, developing and installing a new computer system. Because of the office’s remote location it wasn’t possible to go out to lunch, eat and get back within an hour so we were forced to bring lunch. It was summer and we with much grudging we were finally permitted to place our lunches in the office refrigerator.
On of my team members complained that someone had stolen part of his lunch, several times. I relayed the complaint to our company contact in the office who ignored the problem, suggested that WE were the problem and WE did not need to use the common refrigerator. After about a week we started spreading a rumor about a new std that would turn your pee blue if you contracted the virus and this symptom usually resulted in a fatality. The following week we laced several lunch desserts with methyl blue crystals and waited.
What followed was chaos as an ambulance was called for the owner and his son. Seems they both started peeing blue the same afternoon. All office staff and onsite contractors were lectured about malicious pranks but lunches were never disturbed or stolen again.
Fun fact: malicious compliance has another name. Italian strike or white strike, by which workers only do what they are contractually obligated to and nothing more. This has been known to reduce productivity by anywhere between 30% and 50%.
What I'm saying is, you deserve a raise. Go unionize.
Thanks again for my morning entertainment, Rslash :)
Oof.. Inventory / ERP story, i don't want to sound like a stiff and ruin OP's parade but that ERP maintenance block from his boss should have been reported to Management / HR right away, that was gonna royally DUCK a lot of people including his co-workers. You wanna MC to the deserving few, fine, but don't drag everyone else into it.. Then once the consultancy got slammed and couldn't fix the HR issue on time OP's hands would have been clean and he would have nailed himself a fat raise.
9:37 that is super illegal
Never mess with with a person's cheese, cops will be called 😂😂
As a former admin for a roleplay site, the words Cloud Based ERP service made me freak out
1st Story- Know your worth. OP could have simply explained how much the company is paying for the costs of maintaining the ERPit versus, how much he would save the company in time (time is money) to fix it and even with the raise that he was rightfully due, how much money it would have saved the company in the long run.
Hey Rslash, I think there’s a mixup with your time stamps going on. I went to yesterdays video and checked those time stamps, and they match the stories from today. The ones on this video don’t match up at all
Story 1: I am a great it-tech, I am however a lousy at pointing out what a great tech I am and most of my managers through out the years have no idea what I do, they just call me in everytime some emergency happens or something complicated needs to be implemented then it's out of their hair (even if I have never been the only tech at any of my jobs, they still call me no matter if it's something withing my responsibilities or not)..... this basically ends up with that every job I quit they are shocked when I in my exit meeting explain what I do and what responsibilities I have, every job I have had they end up employing three or more people to half decently replace me so I feel for OP in that story (most good IT-tech should have our managers salaries and our managers often should not have a job in a decently ran universe).
Good morning RSlash, thank you for another episode, just wanted to let you know that your timestamps are wrong. Maybe they were meant for another video.
10:50 y’all need to understand that if this happens you DO have the right and borderline obligation to tell ANY boss that tries to ignore health and safety concerns that you will NOT be following those orders.
ERP service.... NGL I was thinking it was something else there.
same 😂
But still at $200 an hour ;)
Beginning to sound like a broken record everytime we have to tell people not to mess with the IT guy...
Bosses: Antagonize the workhorse employees carrying the office
Workhorse Employee: Quits or stops doing what they do to carry the office
Office: Devolves into complete chaos
Bosses: Why would you do that?
4:12 (Just had to pause and add)
"I tell him to send me that in writing..."
How is this STILL happening?
How is this STILL not raising all kinds of alarm bells? :D
14:23, but did they find out who the food thief ultimately was, though? I feel like that is one loose end that the OP could clear up for everyone else.
Hey Rslash, the time stamps in recent videos often seem to be incorrect, especially this video. Is that a side effect of watching the videos too early after they’re posted and some weird YT editing thing causes a problem? Are you maybe out of sync with your upload schedule? Just wanted to let you know
Why would a company use an erotic roleplay service?
I used to work 14 hr shifts doing physical labor, so I had 2 breakfasts{one for 4 am and one for 7 am} one lunch, and a dinner snack, and everyday at lunch my lunch would be gone out of the oven or freezer. It was always something dumb like a frozen burrito or pizza or something. So then the rest of the day i had to eat my snack then work the demanding work the next 5 hrs empty stomach.
I confronted everyone the third day since I didn't know who was doing it, and people would do shit to F with you anyway, that they better stop cuz it was pissing me off. next day it was gone again. No surprise cuz usually if they knew it got to you, they increased their efforts.
So for the following day i brought two lunches but hid one in my pack {you weren't supposed to have food in the plant but like hell I was going hungry another day} and for my decoy lunch, I ground an entire box of ex-lax, tore a corner off my frozen burrito and mixed it in the beans with a straw. Wrapped it in foil and put it in the warming oven. lunch time came and it was gone. I pulled my real lunch out and ate it.
Never found out who was doing it, but it was the last time anyone messed with my lunch for the next 3 years, so it must have worked well enough word got around haha
I hope that everyone is having a good Monday!
So far so good hope you have a good one as well

I'm having my wisdom teeth removed today so that's going to suck
The first story is twice as hilarious I’d you think ERP stands for Erotic Role Play
1st story: I do hope OP learned the lesson. Never, EVER, work for free for your employer. Mid to higher management prefer to pay thousands over admitting they were wrong.
Last story: Godspeed to whoever marry that whacko.
Story 1: most people are WAY too educated, just at a base level, to be doing the minimum wage work of our parent’s generation. We’re graduating from high school and college at higher rates than ever. The wrench in progress are people like OP, who do nothing to defend the value of their labor until they walk right into a malicious compliance situation. Discuss wages and work burdens, people!!!
9:44 I’ve literally punched a guy in the teeth for that. Broke 2 as well.
Honestly my mind went into the gutter with the first story the moment ERP was mentioned because I didn't think of anything else except for erotic roleplay XDD
Same
All the times you said 'ERP' in this my FFXIV player was showing because it means something VERY different in that community
"Cloud space erp service"
you mean f-list? XD
Story 2.k is short for Karen
I've never understood the stance of the lunch thief at work nor the ones that defend them. You never know what you are potentially consuming, it's blatant theft, and the victim is often times told a variance of "oh well". That "oh well" opens up the door for something far scarier than jail time, malicious revenge.
When rSlash started laughing a little when he said, for the nth time "Don't mess with the IT guy !"
I lost it. Great job.
Thank you for another great upload Rslash! Hope you had/are having a good vacation with your family!!
Well, I occasionally get a circular mail telling everyone to do the maximum allowed time of work whenever possible, but I simply assume that it's not meant for me. Same as pretty much everyone I've talked to about it. If I should ever get told that _personally,_ I would do exactly that - do exactly (well, at most) the number of hours we are legally allowed to do. And _count_ everything that the law views as working hours as such - which quite often is just sitting around and waiting, or even laying down for a little nap, since we "officially" need to supervise something that's usually impossible to supervise due to the circumstances (and even if it were, it'd just be watching people who know what they're doing while sipping a coffee or so). But instead of, as most do now, count that as break time, we'd count it as work time - which of course would often cut _massively_ into the actual hours we'd be allowed to work, so in the end, we would _actually_ work less on a lot of days....
Thankfully, even our direct supervisors (let alone our boss who knows all too well that we're doing more work that we would technically be allowed to) know not to push that particular button... Especially since they'd be very hard pressed to find replacements (there's a shortage of tens of thousands of workers... and more are retiring each year than new ones coming out of training...)
wait in america its morning?in roumania its noon
Yes, 6am - 9am in America!
Second story: if this happens in the US make them fire you. "I won’t be going and if you have a problem with that it's your own issue." If you get fired they have to pay unemployment and possibly legal fees.
The timestamps are wrong, they are of the last video
Hey, rSlash, maybe you could make some tshirts with “Never mess with the IT guy”! I’d totally buy that!
Hello one this morning for the first commit
Heh, that food theft thing at the end... I would have been _very_ tempted to go with an idea from a Pretender episode, make a nice meal that's almost certain to get stolen, and mix in a decent amount of laxative... I know, not really the best idea since it's effectively bodily harm, a good deal worse than theft, but still...
Vrchat have given me brainrot. The second i heard ERP my neurons activated
As an IT guy, these have to be my favourite rSlash genre...
Those food stolen at work stories are some of my favorites. As soon as I hear a story going that route I always wonder how creative they are going to get in this one. Lol
You could say it was a genius move to wait til when he did to ask for the raise and title. Do you really think that without the company being in the lurch they were in , they would have agreed to his raise and title? Letting them see how good he was and then having this situation fall in his lap, it was the perfect time to ask. At that point, what choice did they have but to agree.
I wish rslash could upload 2 or 3 times a day because I will only clean up when I listen to his reddit stories
honestly if the guy told me please sign it, I would've said double the pay and we have a deal. He would've probably kicked and fussed about it but it's better than losing the company for it.
buisness owners are so bad at making money, why do we let them run businesses if they'd rather cost themselves money to avoid paying their employees what they're due. it's like it's more about cruelty than even making money anymore. dude's LITERALLY sad he has to pay LESS to let his employee have a raise and FIX IT FASTER

The last and final warning to the potential groom to flee is when your bridezillas bridesmaids all skip town.
some context for the ERP story. ERP consultants (or any other specialty software consultants) are in upper ranks in terms of payment. a quick search will show that a senior consultant can easily go for 100+ an hour. the fact that he was doing it for no pay fucked me up.
Should make some, "don't mess with the IT guy" merch with how often it comes up.
