He does manage to work in a defense of wage slavery though, so points for that.

I feel like this belongs in the “Idiot Conspiracy Theorists” thread instead. Though I guess it certainly qualifies for this one.

Man, I’m glad twitter didn’t exist back when I was doing all those mushrooms and LSD.
I just clicked through to that whole thread. It’s gold.
Theres an embarrassment of riches, but I fell remiss not to include this, which is like, a perfect tweet.
Weird sexual obsessions, games culture, pseudo intellectualism, and deliberate mansplaining, all in one.
Truly the W.T.F. Buckley of our time.

Someone also pointed out how his avi is Shepard, but he seems to have named himself after the creepy insane dude that idolizes Shepard. Lotta of layers to that insane onion.
Now the real question is whether his referencing Jordan Peterson reflect poorly on himself, or PJ, or pjs (night time clothes are a tool of left-wing oppression, somehow) in general, or none or all of the above.

I don’t know, man, I think it fits. I mouthed “what the fuck?” at least a couple times reading that. The fact that it’s from a rightwing loser seems incidental to the WTFness.
Meh, to each their own, plenty of you folk seem to have liked it. That kind of deranged, unhinged shit just reminds me of all the insane stupidity in the right which I hate.
The watermark is, presumably, from the realtor and attached to the photo, not the machine. MLS = Multiple Listing Service.
Judging from the multiple themed kids bedrooms, the wall of washing machines (presumably with matching dryers) and the amount of entertainment strewn everywhere (arcade games, bowling alley, basketball court, bars, media room, ridiculous pool and patio space) this home is not meant to be a single family dwelling even for the mega-rich, but rather a luxury vacation rental property through VRBO, AirBNB, etc…
In fact, seeing that it is located inside the Reunion Resort in Kissimmee all but guarantees that it is built to be a rental. I’ve stayed at Reunion several times in the past (though at much smaller 5-6 bedroom properties) and the resort is an amalgamation of condo complexes and homes ranging from 2-4 bedroom condos and homes up to insane 12-15 bedroom monstrosities like this one. The entire community is built around a central tower with hotel-like rooms and a rooftop restaurant and pool and three championship style golf courses designed by big names like Nicklaus, Palmer and Watson. There are something like seven community pools scattered around, including a waterpark, and a couple of restaurants as well. The resort is about a 20 minute drive from the Disney parks, 30 to International Blvd and the Convention Center, and there are a ton of nearby restaurants, stores and bars as well. The entire place is a case study in ridiculous excess, with some of the larger homes like this one having themes either inside, outside or both.
I stayed there for a week every summer for the past few years when my daughter’s club volleyball team would compete at the AAU Girl’s Volleyball Nationals tournament held in the Orange County Convention Center and ESPN Sports Complex in late June. We would get together with three or four other families and rent a 5-6 bedroom house for the week, with private pool, game room, media room, and a bunk bed room for the girls (usually with some sort of theme) and it would actually cost us less per night than staying in a hotel (once we split the cost across all the families).
I would never buy a property in the resort though, especially a $12 million one, with the idea that it was going to make me money. There are simply too many of them, and too many communities just like Reunion, scattered all around Orlando/Kissimmee. Most of these homes seem to sit idle half the time, and the rates they’re charging aren’t high enough to pay the mortgage, the upkeep, the management costs and the tax bill on 50%-60% occupancy.

Manager needs to find a new calling
Good lord.
Never mind the whole we make potential employees work for us during the interview process nonsense. Maybe this manager’s interview assignment should have been demonstrate normal human compassion.
Whoever worked in HR should get their ass handed to them, how do they not keep an eye on an employee account that had two previous paycheck issues in a row, then a third? Who works for a month without getting paid and thinks that’s ok, that they should be grateful that HR/Management fixed it? HR from my experience is very inept at actually helping employees.
Her new manager seems horrible.
The funny thing is the manager says both that a payroll employee was handling the problem, and that payroll didn’t know about the problem. Presumably the manager means that the payroll employee didn’t tell payroll management, which is a whole other failure.
Payroll employee probably screwed up in the first place and was trying to fix it quietly instead of owning up to it and asking for assistance from their supervisor?
The only big screwup we had where I work over the past couple of decades was one pay cycle where a portion of the direct-deposits due to employees did not get posted due to an external bank error. The college reached out immediately, and offered short-term no interest loans to folks if they needed it, stuff like that. Even though it wasn’t the college’s fault, they certainly jumped to it to fix things. Which is exactly the attitude I think you’d want your company to have.
