Today, I had to fire an employee due to his staggering incompetence. The moment I said the F-word, he started fake-coughing, then loudly humming, then went to his desk and pretended not to hear anything I was saying. It took 3 of us to drag him out of the building kicking and screaming. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

Took me longer than it should have to realize the "f" word was "fired".

This is why I don't want a management position later in life.

Isn't that like super illegal and considered attempted murder or battery?

Illegal for civilians, but not for cops in the U.S. Though many departments frown on it and don't teach its use.

Good listeners are typically conscious to actually hear what you are saying.

dude, in 20 seconds you can cause serious brain damage or even kill someone. it takes seven seconds for someone in a hold to lose consciousness. do you even know what you're talking about?

Well, the poster said "in 20 seconds" so what? you stare at him for the remainder hard enough and maybe he'll hold his breath in fear?

#52, try again, brain damage takes 3+ minutes of anoxia, 9x more than a 20 second sleeper hold. I've helps my breath for 3 minutes underwater before, 20 seconds? And in cold water anoxia can take up to 13 minutes for permanent brain damage.

Numero 74, the sleeper hold not only cuts off air, but also the blood rushing to your brain.

Well good thing you fired him... Even though it took much of a struggle...

Same with me.

#6382321 - Sunday 16 August 2015 7:24

Honestly, I didn't even realize until I read your comment. I thought OP just said "fuck", but "fired" makes a lot more sense now...

I didn't even know! Wow I totally misread that.

Wow. It makes a lot more sense now. I was kinda expecting comments decrying the use of swearing in a professional sense.

Yep.

I spent a relatively long time wondering why the hell OP said "fuck" while firing someone. Then I felt stupid.

Lol now only I realized thanks to ur comment . I first thought the op deserved it for not handling it in a formal way or sth. Oh well

I read the FML like 6 times wondering why an employer would use the F word, even when firing someone. Then after reading this comment, it all made sense.

I know you'll get over defensive and bury me, but seriously? You and nearly 500 people who upvoted you? It's called context and basic reading skills, people.
