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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Perhaps a sign that the hospital admin needs a potato canon to the face, in their next group Minecraft session.

That is like a Dickens villain. I didn't know they could be that tightfisted.

At our Christmas party this year, the head of our facility drew names out of a hat to have a go at grabbing cash in a money blower while the rest of us watched. Inside the blower among the lower dominated bills was one 100 dollar bill. When one of my coworkers was chosen, she just refused to go up because she was so tired from working back to back shifts several times that week and didn't want to humiliate herself by jumping around for money.

be amerishart
local mart is free of sharts
drive past the designated shooting school (aka all of them)
drive another 2 hours to work
work 8 hours
drive back another 2 hours
eat your holiday bonus baked potato which cost $200
pay $30 in tax for your baked potato
nighttime, go to sleep
police do a no-knock raid on your house because the guy 2 houses down sells weed
get shot in your sleep for resisting arrest
miraculously survive, but have tremendous medical bills
it's okay, the insurance terms say they'll cover it
they won't cover it anyway
quit job and squat on some land and farm potatoes
now you can at least pretend you grow thousands of dollars per square foot
DARPA mind E/M ray activates
get taxed in your daydreams
a few days later, the IRS comes to your field in bumfuck Idaho
asks for $30 per $200 potato imagined
you have no money so you can't pay, but they'll let it slide if you agree to be a neuralink test subject

porky-point "Workers these days are just too spoiled! In the good old days Irishmen were dying to receive a potato like this!"

my job dangled a pizza party over us to increase sales and then decided a day of revenue was more important.

My job recently sent me an email where I could choose my own christmas present from a short list of "approved" gifts. Unfortunately that turned out to be a phishing attack sent out by our IT-department, so my christmas bonus was literally just the holiday party that some staff threw last friday.

My place of work threw a potluck, where everyone had to bring their own food. The boss didn't even show up with like a fancy dish which would have at least been something.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

Oh right. The exec who approved a budget of $100 for a whole hospital of gifts and patted themselves on the back for being generous.

Lol we were supposed to get hot chocolate. And then they just didn't.
