So I've been with this new company now for almost 2 weeks. Everything is going great, I'm learning a lot and the work isn't too bad. The hours are 9-5, so pretty standard. I also share an office with one of the co-owners, just me and him, and we get along great. However, this morning I was caught off guard. I got into work at 9am and sat down at my desk for 9:01. 5 minutes later, the employee that handles the payroll and whatnot comes into the office when I'm on my own and says “Hiya, can you make sure you get in for 9am every morning”. So I said “Yeah that's fine, no worries”. And then he said “it's just because you were late this morning” (Remember, I was sat at my desk at 9:01) I honestly thought he was joking, so I gave him the laughed I…

you are all fucking lazy and contribute fuck all to society, you think you are revolutionaries because you want 50K a year for working at macdonalds, its fucking pathetic

I have no idea what to expect, I've been out of work for a couple months because of mental health and stress, I've only worked basic food service jobs but got promoted to supervisor before.

Just so you know, this morning (9AM Amsterdam time), Booking.com's CEO fired every single customer service employee around the world over a PRE-REOCRDED VIDEO.

Just a thing to remember when you're watching their fancy Super Bowl ad.
