But for heavens sake , don’t say anything we consider politically incorrect

Not going to lie brah, you’d be instafired where I work.



You’re an older miscer, so I imagine you just have to hit that finish line without doing something stupid, like expressing your opinion, about anything. You can do it. A lot of miscers will be doing it for a lot longer.

Well now the sloot from the planning Department that overheard me say this has threatened to quit if I’m not disciplined , and she’s the type that goes out of way to hear things .
This same kid that I’m training is really not all there . I swear he is close to Down syndrome, so on occasion when he fuks up for the hundredth time doing the same fuking thing that I’ve explained several times , I’ll call him stoops .
I love the word stoops, as my friend from England used to say it all the time . Never really offended me lol .
Anyways this didn’t go over well , as the sloot from the planning department freaked out on me again asking how I’d feel if someone called me stoops ?

So it escalated to a meeting this morning with our job coordinator and someone on zoom from the company to resolve .
I told them that I’ll do my best to be all touchy feely and walk on fuking eggshells for now fuking on .
Well this was not the correct answer lol .

Srs, I can’t wait for pooty poot to push the button . I want to see people with third degree burns and radiation poisoning foraging for food , then let’s see how woke and politically correct they are .
Misc srs question , do I give off an insensitive vibe?

Saying something is a 'girl's drill' is a non-issue, if this was brought to me, I'd tell you to keep your mouth shut around her because she'll make trouble for you. Wouldn't go any further unless I had a major problem with you for some reason and wanted an excuse.

Naming a guy 'stoops' and using it to his face daily is ridiculous and I'd tell you to cut it out, if I had to tell you twice it would be a written warning. Your energy should be directed towards finding ways to make him someone else's problem or get him terminated for being fking useless, if you can't do that, that sucks but everyone has to work with people that piss them off so it is what it is.

Stoops is a great nickname. Srs.

Years ago, worked with a kid named Todd who was an a**hole and also a little slow.

I coined the nickname re-Todd.

I’ve been told nearly 20 years later it still is used.

Just have to play the game at work. Let the idiots fuk things up good. Not costing you money. Big deal if you have to fix their screw ups. Especially if you're paid hourly rate. More overtime opportunities. And eventually their incompetence will shine through.

Bullying younger people at work is not a good look. If you're going to act like that, you have to do it to everyone, not just pick on people beneath you. That's pretty cowardly.

I know you've gone through a lot in your life, but this is easily a controllable situation that doesn't have to turn into a regret and then a "Misk I lost my job because kunt HR" thread.

Good luck. Don't let the misk poison your mind on this one

Imagine letting some other dude decide:
1. Whether you get paid
2. How much you get paid
3. How long they are going to continue paying you for
4. How you act on the job

LMFAO

im not exaggerating either. i literally had someone make fun of my cheap ass drill. hell i was military and they ranked below me and still made fun of me because were friends and i didnt give a chit and it was a cheaper low power drill not a $200 tradie gold standard dewalt. who gives a chit reporting and crying about it is pussy chit.

I still have the box of screws that says "i suck" on it and it makes me chuckle. some grown ass 40 year old man wrote that on there and its funny to me that grown men can still have that sense of humor.

Look man, I find the jokes funny n chit and I dgaf what people at work say, but think about how you are literally bullying a mentally handicapped person.

Why not just report to your boss that this guy is no good and move on?

Besides if you want to get people like that hr sloot fired you have to just push their buttons in front of management until they incriminate themselves.

Unfortunately you have to be super politically correct at work these days. Men cannot tell women they like her new hairstyle or say something that might be construed as sexist.

I can't say things I can say on the Misc IRL as I would be totally alienated by my friends and family and for fired being in California. You just have to take it for what it is and remember what's more important to you. Let the Misc be the place where you can say "sloot" but real life be different if your job is valuable to you.

Toxic work environments fester until they boil into something bigger. Do your job and don't get personal negatively.



If it doesn't bother you then it's not an issue. However op is in a position of authority over his trainee, calling him names is unacceptable and the trainee may fear reporting because he's new.

Girl from planning did right thing by reporting but should have left it at that. Trainee and OP should be addressed and if it's an issue then split them up.

--
Real talk, if you let one employee become toxic, that attitude spreads. Then morale goes down over years and you lose employees over stupid conflicts. It's best to keep work a non toxic environment.
Holy Fark , you sound like my boss lol
