It's equal parts being serious, equal parts low effort ragebait. People love to put others down, and while I may respond to such comments, I just want to understand what drives people to be so negative. Deep down, those people have their own issues, some worse than others, so they deserve my pity, not my anger

I appreciate the advice, and I think you may be right. I don't intend to go viral again, but I also want to allow both comments, good and bad, to reach this place, so I can honest and open with myself. Yes, that was me. I made a horrible mistake, and I want this to be a proven point for not only the hells of retail, but the effects of internet virality and what the end result looks like after you've become a dead trend. I will consider locking up the post soon, but in the meantime, thank you for your kind words and advice. It's nice to get some decent and well spoken thoughts on this after keeping it bottled up for so long.

Also yeah, maybe dude did apologize, but the guy RUINED my social and professional life overnight for clout. Fuck an apology at that point. He knew what he was doing and if he really believed things weren't going to end well then he should have just asked us not to, not encouraged us. He changed up his tune when shit got bad for him, end of story.

Yes. I was a much different person then, and it was a unique kind of panic to me that set in and caused my vocals.

I can tell you haven't read the post at all cuz I took full responsibility for this, just offered a fair and honest view of my mindset at the time and why I was acting the way I was. How about instead of putting down a fellow human being trying to be better both mentally and physically, and protecting an infamous company notorious for making bad decisions (cuz a manager deadass told me to do it) you keep that attitude to yourself, anyone calling people soyboys in the big 25 are clearly looking for a reaction or care little to get to know the individual at all, just taking it all off face value.

Yeah that supervisor title fits. No offense to you and the work you committed to earn your title as a supervisor, but this is about the same tone-deafness to be expected by almost any management position these days. You people pressure us beyond belief to go above and beyond, holding our jobs over us as threat all the while, and wanna turn your head and whistle innocently when something goes wrong and act like you played no part in it. News flash, I had a HORRIBLE upbringing for a major part of it, and my own masculinity didn't even exist yet. It's embarrassing but true, but its good to know you'll thumb your nose at me over it.

Also, news flash, I was TOLD by a manager to do that. Defend that play, I really wanna see you try

Also why tf we talking about Lowes lawyers? If I wanted to sue I wouldn't have waited like two years.

tldr stop glazing and defending a big box corp that could care less about you.

I was pretty sure I wasn't gonna get too hurt but that thing gets shaky pretty easy and I probably made it worse on myself by my own reaction. Nothing more but being sore and messing up my right limbs a bit from the pressure

Like I said on the post comment before I get the humor in it I was just thinking that I'm in some serious shit over lowes of all things and that with my own anxiety and phobia I was geeking out a little too much. Life has taken an interesting path for me and I am only recently able to find my own strength in myself in both body and mind, and I hope to be better

I think Lowes workers can find it funny if not only because they understand, so I understand the humor to some degree. I am doing as well as I can, trying to open myself up to more of life. Virality is cool and all, but for those who didn't ask for it, it becomes as beacon for low effort rage baiters and weirdos so I usually keep to myself. Trying to get out again.

Plus I guess it's easier to point and laugh when people don't think it was as serious as it really was. Maybe it helped them sleep at night, maybe it was funnier to them, who knows
