While I doubt this actually happened, I'm still disturbed by everyone cheering it on absent any context that would make OP not look like a petulant child.

Quitting without notice doesn't require justification, fuck the bosses, whatever.

But for all we know, this manager had bent over backwards to stand up for their employees, or cover for them. Maybe this employee took advantage of that and was miserable to his coworkers. Those are just as likely as anything else, given that no further information was provided.

At least invent a backstory how this manager was dogshit or abusive, or the company was awful. Make us want to believe that you're not just someone with a persecution complex who's quick to anger and lash out.

While I loathe golf courses and am always happy to take the piss out of the "elites", this feels like something more.

This might just be the CCP flexing political power over Hong Kong in general, but I'd be curious to see what the primary motivation behind this decision was. Obviously it wasn't building public housing, that's just a good cover story with a positive side effect.

Not really... It is unprofessional. That doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong, just that it's not always unreasonable for a manager to point that out. Again, we lack any other context for the situation.

I would add, that he also followed it up with a good luck and didn't drag it out. So, based off what limited evidence we have available, he seems like the more reasonable person in this situation.

Have you never had a good manager and a bad coworker?

That's not what I said, but I love how you misquoted me in the framework of your own personal warped version of reality.

Read the subtext of the article. This location was obviously selected for a politically motivated reason, and I'd be interested to know what that was i.e. was it a general show of power (boring), or was it some hyper specific personal conflict with a prominent member of the club and a CCP party member (interesting).

That doesn't mean the intent behind the CCP policy isn't good, well intentioned, or positive. But that's not surprising to me, so it's not very interesting. What drove the politics behind the decision to raze a Golf Course to spite HK elite, is very interesting, at least to me.

How many Lemmy users do you think have never worked retail customer facing jobs, or food service? I'm betting it's a minority, but I could be wrong.

Either way, whatever internal compass you use to determine another user's job history needs some tuning because I've worked in plenty of service industry jobs.

Sir, this was a shift manager at a Wendy's, not a VP at FedEx.

Hey, fuck you... just kidding.

TBH I just clicked on this when scrolling All and didn't even notice what community it was until well into my comment taking off with replies.

The conversation evolved, and devolved, from there. Not much to do about it now.

When we hang all the bosses, will that include the POC Arby's assistant manager? How about the call center team lead?

Entry level IT is tech support, which is customer service, but with dumber than average customers.

Pointing out the lack of context and the tantrum like behavior isn't nuance. The fact that you think otherwise makes me concerned for your ability to safely cross the street.

Probably, but none that I'd actually invest my own time and effort into. I was just making an offhand observation, not starting an investigation.

The furthest I might be willing to go, would be to provide some constructive criticism, but I'd even have to mull that over i.e. weigh the risk I'm just helping fine-tune a LLM model, for free...so...yeah...

lol

I genuinely can't tell if you're an elaborate troll, LLM, or just autistic.

I don't mean any of those as an insult, just to say that you have a very distinct prose that really comes through when you write more than a sentence, or two.

Given your post history, I'm leaning towards LLM, but I'm open to being wrong.

Alright chucklefuck, pointing out that one whiney dick is throwing a tantrum has no logical bearing on the labor movement writ large, or my support of it.

Like I said, next level irony in your projection.

Amazing. You're really something special. Have you tried staring at goats?

It was more succinct than pointing out each individual logical fallacy.

Are you high? What the fuck are you talking about?

Please tell me how you read my comments, and arrived at that response.

So... Did you reread everything and realize how fucking stupid you sound?
