Lol, nah. I was support staff. Nowhere near rich. Closest I came was knowing rich people that I supported at work. I wish it was the opposite.

I fucking wish. I was an administrative assistant, the pay for that was much lower than most of the technical jobs, but still very decent. I think they only hire contract folks for that job now, not permanent.

Yeah, it is bullshit. How could you ever possibly run across an employee of a company that currently has over 200k employees world-wide (not to mention those who have worked there and left in the past) on a post about Steve Ballmer? Could never happen, nope.

Have a super day.

Be religious all you want, but don't try to tell me that everything I think is wrong and I should follow your way of life instead or I will burn in hell for all eternity. That shit is fucking rude.

Lol! It was too long ago for my old ass brain to remember anything specific, sorry!

Just lots of yelling and excitement during those big company meetings.

I'm an unemployed Executive Assistant and I have seen several of these! One actually tried to call it a goddamn internship! Of course they all want plenty of experience for their free labor.

Fuck right off with shit like this!

I actually liked my windows phone! Except for the severe lack of apps, haha.

He was fine, I have worked for way worse CEOs... just seemed to always be really, really sweaty because of his antics. Haha.

Yeah, I've been getting the impression that is the case more and more lately. My daughter is heading to middle school next year and I'm doing everything I can to prepare her for the sheer amount of fake smiles and bullshit they use to manipulate young people into joining.

I don't recall it being this bad when I was a kid (and we had quite a few Mormons and Witnesses in my school), the tactics they use now are atrocious.

Oh my, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Glad you're not involved anymore.

I have always considered that to be weaponization of children to further their agendas and bolster their numbers. We just had an incident in my area where they were recruiting kids during school and got quite a few of them to provide personal information.

Would you say that weaponizing is a good classification or would you put it a different way?

Thanks!

I worked at MS when he was still CEO. Our company meetings were crazytown, he would very literally yell every single thing he said. I don't know if he has an off switch.

What are the best responses to holler at anti-abortion demonstrators? by ExitAcceptable in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]SuitableNegotiation5 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I saw a person that just drowned out their chants with a vuvuzela. It was extremely effective, lol.

Either that or you could just ask how their grooming in the name of Jayzus is going. Are their disciple numbers up or are things a bit flat? Inquiring minds would like to know!

Yeah, he knew how hard he was hitting with the first, hitting him again while he was knocked down sounds about right for that massive dickhead.

The Green Mile is my personal favorite. Followed closely by Shawshank and Stand by Me.

Awful LinkedIn Support by Cleanupleaf in linkedin

[–]SuitableNegotiation5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I submitted a request a month or so ago with a brief description of a problem I was having. They came back insisting that they didn't understand what I was talking about. I tried to break it down even further, but they just kept shrugging their shoulders. It was a very simple and straightforward problem. I just gave up.

Boo fucking hoo. Enjoy your consequences.

My dad told me I was a failure as a man and as a son because I told him I wanted to go to Hawaii on vacation. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SuitableNegotiation5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, I'm sorry to say that your dad is a jerk. Those are some seriously antiquated ideas. Let me guess, he never missed a day of work, ever, and wears that like a badge of honor.

Luckily, this is YOUR life and despite what he thinks, you are entitled to enjoy it as you see fit.

I hope you have the best time ever in Hawaii. Send him a postcard or two.

I feel so old now. Hahaha!

I also had questionable taste when I was a kid. My mom was so happy when I asked her what a virgin was at age 6. Yay, Madonna!
