I got in an argument with a toaster and now I lost a bet and I’m here just to get my house back.

  • I don’t think most people know what Flavor Aid is anymore. Kool aid lived on in pop culture but Flavor Aid died off years ago. Plus they have the same ending word. Easy for a lot of people to mess up.

    But yes. It was Flavor Aid. Last Podcast on the Left did a special on Jonestown and mentioned it a few times.






  • And I don’t really care. I can agree on many things on this platform and I do. However I stand by my statements. Work is about showing up and being present. If a person cannot adhere to that commitment without a modecum of respect for their coworkers and have an attitude of “I can take off whenever I want” then it’s not professional. It’s fine if they find a profession where that works for them. I have yet to encounter a company or industry that has that sort of liberal schedule.

    I know they exist in certain industries. I have never been a part of those. But it takes all kinds to keep this world running.




  • I am not peddling that at all. You are not reading critically. I manage a crew of people that have a CBA with allocated PTO. They know their limitations and there is almost never a conflict because I manage those shortages and still fulfill what our tasks are.

    However, the discussion is “I should be able to take whatever day I want whenever I want”. I do not think that is a professional attitude or a team attitude. Full stop. There is nothing more to that other than I see it as a roadblock for promotion and that attitude does not last long where I am from. This is also not the first company I have worked for in this industry. I was a front like worker for 9 years before becoming management.


  • You are not important enough to my existence to go stalking your comments. I’m having a conversation and I don’t agree with you and you had to make it personal because you are a dick. I don’t care what you think about me, my family or anything I have to say because your approach is horrible and one of low intelligence.



  • Then you’re a crap employee and you wouldn’t be welcome on our team. We like adults working with us that bring actual conversations that help do what we do.

    We do in fact play in traffic. We are literally professionals at it. It’s so heartwarming that you care so much.
