I see what you're saying, robot, but this company acts differently.
I've seen one of my good friends get done in, after she was barely getting correspondence from upper management.
They could've been more direct but they let her flounder for two weeks before finally letting her go.

Would your company be better of without you though?

 

[Deleted member 1159]

I doubt you are getting fired as if that was the plan, they'd do it right away.

Yeah I doubt they'd set up a meeting in advance. If you're getting walked it's a "hey can we talk?" and they lead you to a room with HR and it's done then and there

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

My guess is that had to do with performance and not what you are going through. Even cutting through your bullshit and bravado, your job is at risk because of your behavior. If the decision were made, they'd do it first thing to prevent any potential harm you could cause.

Or his team's interpretation of his behaviour. When taking in his own results in consideration that should mean shit. Ideally.

He's posted enough war stories to know that his work behavior is suboptimal.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

My ass is getting tight. This can't be a good sign..

 

[Rentahamster]

I'm going to bed soon. This is getting boring.

The managers are still sifting through The Lunch Legend ' morning shit to collect evidence.

They found his gaf account and are combing through his 12k posts, anytime now theyll find the lunch thread.

Ironic you focus on behaviour rather than results.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Gonna be really disappointed if you still have your job when I wake up tomorrow

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Eh, I'm a top notch performer, but as with any business, losing someone regardless of productivity, wouldn't mean the end of the world.
I can definitely be replaced.

By someone more efficient? Who knows. That's on them to figure out.

Talk to me when you've owned a company, hired and managed employees. His behavior can be a determent to the results of his co-workers. You also have to be willing to believe his boasts, which I don't.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Man it's been 8+ years since I've got a job where I come and go as I please and work remotely and nobody cares if you're getting your shit done, having flashbacks to where people give a shit about whether or not you're at your desk…woof I don't miss that life

It's on you to figure out when you get promoted to head executive boss manager.

I think this thread needs a poll. We can vote on your fate.

Or perhaps it's the other way around? You've been there and seen how the group relation is?

I have a good worker on my team that i wish I could fire because his interaction with everyone is just awful.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Sometimes its more efficient to fire the problematic genius than all the coworkers hes managed to piss off though.

I've read his posts. If he were my employee, he wouldn't be my employee.

That's a tough balancing act. I recently sold my company and the person I'm training...let's just say I'm glad they aren't my responsibility much longer.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Guessed as much.

You don't have to believe it, robot. Im just telling you what is.

Don't bother.

Btw The Lunch Legend , if you don't get fired and instead get promoted, I'm eagerly awaiting your new thread


" My Job Has Done it For Me"

 

[Trunx81]

Plot twist: He's working for Unity

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Don't bother.

I get where its coming from, though. I would probably have a different perspective if I owned a business, too.

Same here. But there's a grey area where guys like you can shine.

Yep.
But workplace cultures can be a real biyatch, depending on who you are and where you are.

Indeed.

Maybe then you should fire some of his co-workers? It's a company, not a childcare.

Sure, let me apply for a job in his company, get promoted to position to manage him and then fire all the people not stealing co-workers lunches.

This is more of a tease than the UFO thread…

 

[EverydayBeast]

Bosses justify firing and hiring people.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

When's the meeting? The unemployment rate in the US is incredibly low right now. I think you'll find something quickly if you do get fired.

 

[Yoshichan]

In how many hours does your shift end? And your boss? What time is it currently over there?

Stay tuned or go get a sandwich.

Plot twist, he works at Sony and will be fired after submitting his las sop

 

[YCoCg]

So, Mr. Hops, we've noticed you're hitting your performance target well and everyone else isn't, we've launched an investigation into this and it seems that morale amongst other work mates is at an all time low, everyone is angry and hungry and no one trusts anyone else in the office, this has affected their performance by a large margin. Upon concluding our investigation we found out that one person in the office was stealing all the lunches from the staff fridge, ...you can see where we're going with this right?

 

[wondermega]

Johnny 5 is alive.

NO DISASSEMBLE!!

...is also what The Lunch Legend can yell during his fateful meeting w/ boss while shaking erratically

Can't.
I looked in the fridge and someone took it

Probably my uncle.

Alright, I'm going in, gentlemen.
I'll see you all on the other side.
