Well, I mean, it’s kind of obvious that this post is outrage bait, so you know, good on that 'cause I’m outraged, but if an employer actually did this to me, I would need somebody to talk me down before I came back with a gun.
Assuming this isnt a parody, odds are good the job is a bog standard 40k a year desk job. Also filtering candidates and finding a suitable one takes many peoples’ time, which you are wasting if you have invisible criteria revealed on the persons start date.
You mean a fast paced environment?
Oof, a solo cubical. Haven’t had one of those in like 8 years.
Fucking dream for an office. I just got a table a notebook stand and a monitor. I have to carry the keyboard and mouse with me everywhere.
Wow, that’s awful. We have an open office design, and everyone has an assigned desk. We even have a few spares for our remote employees when they visit.
I mean this is a cubicle not an office, but they don’t even give you a designated desk?
Nope. You have to reserve a table and try to coordinate with your coworkers to reserve close. I like go to the office so people already knows the table I usually reserve, but sometimes someone else take out that table and I end in a different floor where the sun reflects on the neighbor building and blast my face all day.
Shit most places do the “open office” thing where you get a third of this space and less privacy. Everyone can hear everyone’s calls.
And people wonder why employees hate RTO
Eh, I like our open office workspace. Our desks are large, we each get drawers, and if anyone needs to make a call, they go to a breakout room. Navigating cubicles sucks, and separate offices aren’t great either.
That said, I’m a developer, so inviting someone over to my desk to look at something is quite common. We also frequently have impromptu 5-min meetings between rows, and we arrange people so those who will likely need those quick meetings are near each other.
It certainly wouldn’t make sense for a call center or something, but it definitely makes sense for a creative, collaborative environment.
And ironically IIRC, this was the vision of the creator of the concept that managers then perverted into the infamous cubicle: a modular and open collaborative environment.
You got a notebook stand?!
I swear HR has a rolodex of dumb filler phrases to put into job ads. The kind that are vague enough that nobody can specifically call them out on it later.
That looks like a dynamic fast paced environment, to me.
Hillariously, I’ve tried this a few times. Either security wouldn’t let me in, or I couldn’t clock-in … no matter what, they didn’t pay for the time, or at least not the whole shift.
(vs OOP): Sure, encourage me to realize you aren’t worth working for before you have any idea what I can really do.
Showing up a few minutes early to work could make sense, but showing up a day early? WTF? Why would someone possibly tell you to start work on Tuesday unless there was some reason Monday intentionally wouldn’t work? I mean ffs, either you won’t be in the system, keys aren’t ready, your friggin co-workers may not be ready, no desk… And you want to show up a friggin day early and make someone babysit you on top of their regular job?
Honestly? Didn’t expect to get paid(this isn’t an entitlement thing from a peon perspective, so get that outta your head) and figured I had nothing better to do that day. Otherwise, I could sit-around and listen to my roommates bitch about how they didn’t really believe I got a new job, they think I should never have left my old one, or go somewhere(library? mall? zoo? bar?) where their words would echo in my head anyways.
All but one of these places, the start date was worked more around my schedule than theirs. There have also been a few places that weren’t ready for me to do anything on the date they said they would-be, or the “start-date” was nothing more than an hour of filling out paperwork.
Why wouldn’t I take the opportunity to potentially knock that out early on a day that is more convenient to me for whatever reason? My energy levels are all over the place, so whenever I have plenty and an opportunity to use it properly, I gotta strike while the iron’s hot.
Yeah, my response was more related to being expected to show up a day early and how much hassle that would legitimately cause in a general sense. In specific situations it obviously works out just fine. If you have a sense that they would be ready and interested in getting a head start, sure… But to say ‘start on Tuesday’ instead of scheduling for Monday, and then having even a sense of disappointment that they didn’t show up on Monday is beyond ridiculous.
Yeah, I wasn’t addressing it from moron OOPs side. A word about how I should have/could have shown up even an hour earlier, and I’ll be blunt with any of them; If it doesn’t warrant a call, text or e-mail, its insulting to even bring it up, they are debasing only their own dignity by doing so.
I am a manager and have onboarded several people, and it would be extremely weird for someone to come in a day early. I generally expect the first week or two to mostly be learning how things work, and I’ve already set up how that’s going to work, which includes finding the relevant people to help you out. If someone comes in early, that would be inconvenient for me, because now I need to either find something for them to do, or take time away from my schedule to give them a tour or something. I suppose I could take you to HR to get your bank details entered or whatever, but that’s about it.
Please don’t show up on a day you’re not expected to be working unless that’s something you’ve discussed prior to the start date (i.e. Tuesday will definitely work, but if it turns out I can come in on Monday, should I?). If you show up early on your first day, I’ll just have you start on the paperwork and whatnot and I’d probably let you leave early to reward you for your punctuality (first days always suck, and you’re helping it suck less). That said, more than 30 min early is probably pushing it, since there’s a good chance I’m not even in yet.
Exactly, especially if you say start on Tuesday instead of Monday, why would you not just assume there was some reason for not having you start on Monday?
No worries, I was talking 15+ years ago.
Why censore the account name? They put it out publicly to be shared.
Many places where content is posted would remove this because it contains “personal information” regardless of it being shared publicly or not.
Lol fucking what
Linkedin has become 4Chan it seems
Oooh i like that idea. Reading the posts like greentext makes so much more sense.
Except there are people actually this stupid and crazy. We need a new word for that. Stupsane?
That won’t do. Everyone knows gods protect fools, and madness is practically a subset of traditional divinity. Lumping these people in with insane idiots is very disrespectful.
Okay. Then how about… “MBA”?
Yeah
LOL imagine believing that gods are real and not just a desperate attempt by fearful monkeys to make sense of a random and indifferent universe. Or believing that Eris isn’t there to cancel that shit out.
You know this is why nobody likes us atheists, right?
Yeah but look at all the fucks I give. Just look at em. I gave up trying to use logic to convince religious people ages ago when I realized that their immune to it.
I think it’s already called a Straw Man.
Someone fake that people will attack and ridicule. And then, when pointed out that it’s fake, people will backtrack and say silly things like “there are people actually this stupid and crazy” without an oz of awareness that nearly all their examples of others acting like that are, also, straw men.
Yeah, show up a day early to your office job, and find out that they don’t have the system set-up for you to be there. Then go home, while everyone there thinks you got the start day wrong.
And have to go through three months of "yeah, remember? he’s the idiot that came in a day early?
yeah, the office in joke
Poe’s law applies here.
It applies everywhere
I hope this is Ken Chang or what’s his name.
It’s not Ken anything. It’s some British guy named Jack Frimston.
I think it’s up to you to decide whether or not this is supposed to be satirical. I’m on the side of thinking it’s not.
Considering the name is censored, doubt it
I love how far he leans into the satire.
Here’s the problem: my posts are not satire. Groundbreaking philosophy can sometimes feel like satire because it is so avant-garde and interesting.
What’s next? I have to sit at the back of the bus because those are the “Satire Seats”? My children have to go to the specific “Satire School”? This is segregation at its finest.
Ken M is who you’re referring to I believe.
GOOD point
No there’s a specific satire account on Linked in.
We’re all Ken Chang on this blessed day
I would have reverse-fired my future ex-boss. ‘Monday? That was my day off after working 80 hours this week-end (I spent this day off doing research obviously). I was there on Sunday at 3:00 AM and couldn’t see you so I took the liberty of making you redundant’

If the agreement says to come in on Tuesday, you’re arguably trespassing when you force your way in in Monday.

“I wanted my employee to do something I didn’t ask for so I fired them when they did exactly what I asked.”
Sounds like shit fly by night firm… No proper corporate behaves like this. It is just bad business.
Let me waste time and money hiring somebody and then fire them. Literally burning money for a shit post 🤡
Maybe that was the goal. Maybe they got some big government grant but they had to prove they attempted to hire or something to keep the money so they burned some money doing interviews and such then pocketed the rest of the grant
Well that’s fraud and it happens but again, this is just some shit stain cos playing being a daddy owner
Why is it blurred? I don’t get why people try protect scummy companies.
And then everybody in the office clapped.
