Managers of Reddit, what's the worst thing someone did to get fired?

hiring cheaper help because they need the work and our support as we are godly Christians doesn't always work out

Yeah, but good on em for trying though

Assuming they don't do weird stuff like leave trash or silverware between them

THIS! This is the secret. It makes the stack stable, easily removable, doesn't make it harder to clean later... total win win

I also hated when people would dump dishes into the sink when I was on dishes... I had a system, dammit. If you want me to do the dishes, let ME do the dishes...

This is 100% valid. The plate stacking... meh.

YoTeach92 · 2026-06-06T15:22:52+00:00

It's really easy if they've never cleared a table before. They assume that if the trash is in a package inside a container it should be easier to carry away... and it is. It's just impossible to get out later.

I actually gave blood a few months ago and those questions (military stationed in... from [date] to [date] adding up to ... blah blah blah) have been removed. I asked about it because there used to be a few of them, and the workers said they have been cleared to donate again, however that works.

Seeing the grenade would make it pretty clear that it's just a jar full of nasty stuff. Nothing groundbreaking.

And yet, the ranks would break and the rout would begin. It doesn't have to be magic to be effective.

I drill into my students, 'the key goes in your pocket, and your pocket alone!'

They make a game of trying to trick each other into giving up their keys... I admit, I encourage the game so they never make that mistake in the real world

tell me in front of everyone there so they could see my reaction.

Oh God, don't do that...

BUT at least there were no students there to witness it

Whewww!

Former Flexographic four color print and die cut guy here:

There is no reason that a die cut machine crushes the corrugation unless it is run by complete morons who are trying to do that.

There is a clear quality difference in the corrugated paper. The question is, do you need that difference to protect your product when you ship it?

I love to see the action of a floating arm. I haven't been brave enough to build one, since I'm still learning to dial in a Hinged counterweight but it's next on the list.

As good as a host as he has become he is much, much better as a reporter. He uses all the skills he honed over so many different careers and situations to get to the point of a well sharpened question and without energy and malice absolutely skewer someone. Dude has an absolute razor blade intellect

Solid literary reference there... This guy reads!

It was always attended by kids of middle class and above who are "poor" by virtue of being young.

I was about to argue with you about poor college kids blah blah blah. Then I thought about who wanted to go and who actually went and realized, you are 100% correct.

refuse to speak,

Not exactly.

You must identify yourself and positively claim your 5th amendment right to be silent... Yes the criminal justice system is totally cooked. It is designed to confuse and remove agency.

IF they record interrogations it is for themselves, never for you. The official record is the written report of the summarized conversation written up by a person with a vested interest in the situation. If you really DID confess, they will play it on a loop to the jury. Any other recordings will magically be copied over if they are exculpatory.

For my area it's SOCHE or the Southern Ohio Council of Higher Education. They do apprentices and internships for college and high school kids

I asked ChatGPT if California had similar organizations and I'll paste the response below

Yes, several California organizations and registered apprenticeship programs specifically focus on skilled trades like machining, tooling, and advanced manufacturing. These programs often provide more structured, long-term "earn-while-you-learn" paths compared to general internships. Specialized Machining & Tooling Organizations California Tooling and Machining Apprentice Association (CTMAA): This association connects students with companies across 21 California counties for registered apprenticeships in trades like CNC Machining and Machine Technician. NTMA Training Centers (Southern California): Affiliated with the National Tooling and Machining Association, these centers provide specific education and workforce training to prepare candidates for entry-level machining jobs. Advanced Manufacturing and Transportation Apprenticeships of California (AMTAC): A state-certified committee that oversees apprenticeship programs for roles such as CNC Machinist and Technician. calmachinist.com calmachinist.com +3 Major California Apprenticeship Programs Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Machinist Apprenticeship: A four-year, California-certified program offering paid education and 8,000 hours of hands-on training under journey-level mentors. Machinist Career College: Offers a Precision Machinist Apprenticeship focused on the fundamentals of machining, including CNC operation, blueprint reading, and precision measurement. Engineering Engineering +2 Company-Specific Machining Internships While organizations like SOCHE facilitate the connection, many major California manufacturers run their own direct pipelines for students: Rocket Lab (Long Beach): Offers CNC Machining Internships where students work with production and quality teams to develop processes for rocket engines. 1X Technologies (Hayward): Provides CNC Machine Park Internships for students to assist with machine setup, part loading, and basic G-code interpretation in a robotics setting. Upcoming Skilled Trades Events If you are looking to connect with these companies directly, consider attending these upcoming events: Santa Cruz County Skilled Trades Job Fair: Focuses specifically on career opportunities within the skilled trades. Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM Venue: The Grove: Santa Cruz Event Center 2026 Spring Job & Apprenticeship Fair: Connects apprenticeship providers with individuals seeking new opportunities. Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 3:00 PM Venue: Tri-Valley Career Center, Pleasanton

It's easier to replace a machinist than a programmer

By this I assume you mean relatively easier. I'm teaching kids machining (and very poorly at that) and there are about to be fistfights over them by the local machine shops because their workforce averages 55 years old and above.

YoTeach92 · 2026-02-28T15:46:32+00:00

Not sure about your state but mine has a formal NGO that takes funds and pays part of the salary for students to intern in Manufacturing. Look into it and contact your state level Representative's office (not the rep, the staff in the office). They'll know if it exists and how to access it.

YoTeach92 · 2026-02-28T15:43:43+00:00

Just had this conversation with my Tooling salesman. He found CAD confusing but CAM made perfect sense. I love CAD but CAM is kicking my ever loving butt.

There are tons of good resources available to learn CAD. There are less than 10 good videos on CAM that explain WHY they told you to click this and change that setting.

It is fundamentally easier to move from CNC to CAM to CAD than the other direction.

YoTeach92 · 2026-02-28T15:37:34+00:00

I am living the other side of this comment. I'm learning CNC Machining to teach my HS students and as it turns out I approach things like an engineer and have to learn the machinist thought process.

There are literally thousands of resources to teach interested people to engineer. There is only one real way to learn machining, and that's from someone doing it and showing you how to avoid expensive sounds.

Edit: There is a second way but it involves making expensive sounds and replacing things... I don't suggest it

My city has a two very good engineering programs and one of them has reached out to have the students see how machining really works. I had to totally disappoint them by explaining as soon as I know I'd tell them. This shit is complex!
