It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I very much want to fulfil this order

Damn, sounds like you better shut the fuck up and pack it yourself. anya-heh

[–] [email protected] 101 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's crazy because he's writing this about... a single employee?

Literally just do it yourself.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 9 months ago

In the same sentence he says that it's a slow time of the year, too. Sure, he probably has other work, but is it that much that he couldn't take an afternoon and square the big important order away?

Managers will do anything but actual work lmao.

The employee is fulfilling his obligations under the U.N. Convention against Genocide, namely not providing material assistance to genociders. Fuck the company for not cancelling the order in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You are 100% right but I'm laughing my ass off at sriracha or whatever being "material assistance"

"my own views are nuanced and involve me getting paid money"

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

every single time I've ever brought up an ethical consideration at work it has been this

also always paired with some assurance that "leadership puts a lot of thought & careful consideration into these issues"

[–] [email protected] 80 points 9 months ago (3 children)

This guy is not American. All these answers to write him up and take him to HR probably doesn't work in OPs country. In gonna guess he is European and his employees are unionized. Going to HR probably isn't going to solve shit. The company will have to face the union which most companies would rather avoid.

You're better off talking to someone who knows the dynamics of the country you work in.

They're middle managers, moreover middle managers who use reddit and sub to r/managers, they actually cannot find their butt with both hands

Schindler, facing certain death for treason: I will take no part in this genocide

Small business tyrant, facing minor losses: Look I don't agree 100% with Israel but my Q1 bottom line!

"Nuanced"

So he supports Israel but doesn't like the bad optics of cheering for dead Palestinians.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I've said it before but I'll say it again. I've come to hate the word nuance because of posts like this. They act like just because they have "nuance" their take is automatically more based than anyone who, for example, thinks genocide is bad.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

99% of the time in the imperial core nuanced just means "yeah it seems obviously bad but I know if I develop an actual opinion about it I will have to change my behavior"

He doesn't give a fuck and only cares about making money but doesn't want to acknowledge that is his belief so it gets complicated.

He wants to hold bad opinions but also wants to think of himself as a good person, complicated.

Thinkin bout thos things that made this particular member of staff difficult. What did he mean by that I wonder? I'm going to bet it leans more towards "not willing to work for free" rather than "gets in drunk fistfights with other employees in the parking lot"

[–] [email protected] 60 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I hope the employee is fuckin that guys wife

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Better the ex wife. Losers like this doesn't deserve a wife.

The IOF has more than enough “mayonnaise”

IDF soldiers get tubs of mayonnaise and state mandated gooning sessions and they still have the audacity to complain

DID THEY GET HIS NUANCE IN TIME???

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

smuglord My views are very nuanced.

porky-happy I very much want to fulfil this order as it stonks-up

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So just fulfil the order and ship it somewhere else. Easy as that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

yeah ship it to Japan or something and tell Israel to go get it
