nah, don't sweat over a job like this. instead, make him be the one to use a ceiling tie, literally if you have, then coincidentally discover his confession to being a p3d0 scat loving satanist. coincidentally, in Mineblox, ofc
I think it’s pretty good writing how he’s made it a consistent trait for Frank to be a little racist. Never racist enough for his employees to call him racist to his face, but racist enough that any black people who get hired here probably quit pretty fast.
This is how every office boss I’ve had does it. It’s always “management isn’t required to wear a tie. If you don’t like that, you could either become a manager or get used to it.”
Nah nah nah, what you gotta do is go to the party dressed to the nines in a fucking matador costume (specifically a matador, and choose a good one too, like as good as you can get), have a blast, get blasted potentially if you’re into that stuff, soak up the attention from everyone there, bask in the pissed passive aggressive faces on the bosses, and loudly announce at the end of the night that you are resigning from the job and call out the boss specifically for pushing you over the edge to quit. It’s Halloween, the season of spooks, and if your boss is anything like this, it’s your one day of the year to become their worst fucking nightmare.
this genuinely comes off as a genuinely incredible scene in a horror movie about capitalism. turning something that's supposed to be fun into something boring and corporate is actually depressing to me. Not to mention, there are actually a lot of themes to be found in the metaphor of the employee needing to shine the boss's shoes for nothing but a single piece of candy. The line "we're gonna be a team" when the boss doesn't need to do anything at all in reality, the fact that halloween is supposed to net you an entire bucket of candy while this game only offers you a single piece (and you need to *win* for that piece of candy) and the boss saying "I don't like to lose" in this context honestly just makes him look like even more of an asshole.
@@danakchampion subversive? a holiday where you risk getting egged if you have the "gall" to not put any candy out because you think the whole bloody thing is a bloody nuisance? Aint nothing subversive about Halloween.
Iunno.. Our bosses always got a huge amount for every Corp party. We went to luxury restaurants with amazing food and nice popular bars tour afterwards. On Xmas we i.e. got Mont Blanc Pens, designer tie collections for a couple hundred bucks, etc. (still have all of that) Guess it depends where you're working and how unpersonal the corp became. I always felt appreciated. And yes, bosses would never wear ties, unless the owners came for a check up visit. Then the ties magically appeared. The only one not wearing a tie then, was the actual founder of the business. Even the co-owners accompanying him had ties around their necks.
This one is brilliant, I love how the company managed to turn a party into a mandated reminder that we are better than you and you are nothing like us and your failure is your fault.
This is one of few occasions when you're sincerely thankful that you grew up in a faith tradition that celebrated Reformation Day in place of The Devil's Evening so you can put on a good fake.
My office's Halloween Party is tight! We spend the whole work day on a decoration contest, and there's always alcohol. Parents get to leave early so they can trick or treat.
Having a dress code as a dev is already crazy enough tbh, but then he's not even wearing a tie. Also he even said it, the execs choose a THEME, that means everyone else chooses a costune in the theme.
I'm pretty this character doesn't realize that the cuckoo bird is the one whose eggs are taken care of by other birds. AKA, in his mind, the one doing the cuckolding. It actually works a lot more like a protection racket than an unfaithful partner, but that's neither here nor there
At first I thought so too. But it's each executive who gets a cuckoo bird, not the other way around. So there could be a surplus of cuckoo birds. Though I wouldn't count on it!
Now, corrrect me If I'm wrong, but, am I the only one who thinks there might be some weird context under "cuck-oo birds" and "bulls"??? Because I caould've sworn I've heard that used *somewhere* in a sexual... *way* idk. Maybe my mind's just dirty, but It just makes me remember something I've forgotten
You’re correct, the term “cuckold” describes a man allowing his wife to sleep with other men and/or raise other men’s children, the term was named after the cuckoo birds because they do that. Bulls are seen as a symbol of strength, aggression, and virility
Gosh the furrowed brows, curling/pursing of the lips, the casual eye squint... These subtle social cues are acted out so beyond well! These are the parts we pick up on and make us subconsciously unbearably uncomfortable. Well done good sir👏🏾.
Step 1: Tell the boss you will agree to dress as a cuckoo bird. This is a lie. You will arrive in a vulture outfit (the Marvel character or the bird). If anyone asks, claim you couldn't find the proper costume. Step 2: Find out the shoe size of your boss and get a pair of boots that look like the ones they typically wear in a slightly smaller size. You will keep these boots clean in order to make them as appealing as possible. Step 3: On the night of the party, convince your boss to trade out their boots for the ones you bought previously. You will tell them that you'll keep his shoes safe for the duration of the competition. This is a lie. Secretly, you bought another pair of shoes that look the same but are slightly bigger. You will dispose the old shoes and claim the new ones are his original. Step 4: Partake in the boot cleaning competition in a manner that makes it clear you aren't trying hard. You want to make it seem as obvious as possible to the other participants that you cheated while denying all claims that you did. Your boss will lose favor with his peers, making future dealings harder for him. Step 5: Return the "old boots" to him and claim he can keep both. Ensure the dispose of the original pair. Step 6: Apologize to the other boot cleaners the following workday and explain to them that your boss pressured you into cheating. His reputation is so low already that most will accept it, making you appear as if you are innocent in the whole situation.
I love that the theme is, "animals" but yet everyone HAS to dress up as a certain one down to the same seller or they're not a, "team player" I am BEGGING, PLEASE have John rally some people together to all wear bull costumes, or even better, something nore stereotypically dominant, like a lion!!! Please!!!
How about a billionaire CEO having a mandatory after hours party at his house. If you don’t attend, you’re not embracing the work culture at his company and maybe you’re not a good fit.
I worked at a substance use rehab center that was run by the most unhinged executive I've ever met. For Christmas, instead of (say) allowing more family visits, or giving clients a relaxed day of programming, what this woman decided would really cheer up our detoxing patients, would be if all of the high level staff dressed up in stupid party city costumes. She made the clinical director dress up in a little frilly elf costume, I remember offering to spill coffee on the whole thing before she went to go humiliate herself in front of like a hundred baffled and miserable patients and staff. By March, almost everyone I worked with (including the poor clinical director) had quit.
I love so much going to mandatory parties! And being told how much fun im having and how grateful i should be. The party i had to contribute to and never get a bonus because i got a party.
Its been a minute since you've made a video that truly infuriated me, yet you've done it again. I thought your content had hardened me beyond getting angry at a fake man on my computer screen, but you've truly out done yourself, great job man.
Oh no, in the email it details that the cuckoo costume is for male identified devs. Female identified devs have the option to dress as cows who have not yet given birth to a calf, or as a canine or otter who has whelped at least one litter of pups.
My god, this one was brutal. It made me want to quit my job even though my job is nothing like this, and I had to quickly bring myself back to reality and stop myself from marching over to my boss and quitting on the spot!
