My father used to ask his boss that question. Then he STOPPED asking, and got used to twiddling his thumbs. Made things so much easier, and didn't actually change how his bosses thought of him.

So of course you wait until the end of your shift like everyone else, THEN you walk up to the manager on duty and ask him what you're supposed to do during the requested overtime.

Fun: The employer allows (paid) voluntary overtime, cannot backtrack on the permit, and before the regular end of your shift, you notice you're rapidly running out of work.

Fear is a state of mind.

Did you just assume my sociopolitical status?

Oh stop being such a pack of drama monarchs!

Too late. They can smell your fear.

Nobody say anything and you'll be safe from the mob.

It used to be

I would agree.

I say yes, but I imagine many would disagree with me.

settle a bet: is "drama queen" a gender-neutral description?

Sounds like management is the same everywhere

My bosses are too busy trying to see if they can have their heads up their own asses while still being able to kiss the asses of everyone above them. It'd be amusing to watch if I wasn't one of the ones trying to get everything done to cover for it.

He's living by the standard "bow to those below you; kick at those above you. You got more people below you than above you."

Whenever we go on strike, he's there with us. He told me that this is the only completely legal way for him to show his own bosses the finger,

Well, this guy has been getting flak from above, it's just that he doesn't care. He's doing what he thinks is right. He's easily the smartest of my superiors, and also the one with the biggest balls.

Must be nice, having a boss that cares.

Indeed.

That's a good superior.

Arguing in my favor that I was working under sub-par conditions, there were problems with sudden halts of the conveyor and other issues that affected my productivity, and besides, why was this guy giving a feedback to one of HIS subordinates, wich was his job?

Also, yesterday he stood up for me when a superior from the department I was sent to was giving me a productivity feedback.

So this week all of my superiors save one guy are absent, and I'm not noticing a difference. Which says a lot about this guy.

That's hateriffic.

I both love and hate you all

And this is what it tastes like, when doves fry.

on the other hand pheasant is phairly philling.

Well the fare is fowl if the fowl is fair.

1/4 of duck is 1/4 of the turd in turducken

not really. duck meat is fowl.

Couldn't we just cook the duck? I mean, it would be tastier...

That is much less than a duck, therefore it also floats. BURN THE INTERNET! ((Although it's an old article, I was surprised to find a result))

If thou knows how to weigh wireless signals, thou are surely more of a witch than I.

Does it weigh the same as a duck?

Nay! Tis merely the miracle of WIFI!

WITCHCRAFT!

Mwahahaha! I am writing this WIRELESSLY from my desktop!

yes.

Is that nightmare fuel for wanking or nightmare fuel that is- actually you know what never mind.

This is the Internet. Everything produces wanking nightmare fuel.

Yet both have produced wanking nightmare fuel. (Rule 34 is a harsh mistress)

I don't know if "magic animals" and "mecha" abide by the same design principals.

PS4 controllers are crap. x.x;

it took me way too long to realize that didn't actually say "wanking nightmare fuel."

I'm quite sure that directors don't make the designs because that would be ludicrous amount of work for a single person.

I guess "walking nightmare fuel" is an improvement...

It’s something when the new Pokemon movie is completely accurate to the original source character designs than the Transformers movies. Michael Bay would have created hyper stylised redesigns of Pokemon and many completely new designs if he was doing it.

RIP Stan Lee.

Ehh.. Except for a couple of people, the video game section isn't that bad.
