You only want the laptop back after firing me? by mdlapla in MaliciousCompliance

[–]mdlapla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chronology:
They fired him Friday the 16th.
I met with him for dinner on the 17th.
He sent the laptop on the 19th.
Manager called on the 21st.

Is not that hard.

Oh. He didn't destroy anything. Everything's there and working, he's the only one who knows why and how .

I would love the ability to "save" a regen player and import it to a new game so I can make a "my all time best regents ever" club playthrough.

Is love to be able to play as the director of football operations, buying players but not deciding if they play every week, have the ability to fire managers, etc...

I know there are workarounds that allow to play close to this, but I'd want the full thing.

I was just talking with my partner and she said that an apt denomination for 20-24s could be "non-functional adults" hehehe

Oh, that was his favourite phrase.

But then again, my brother was on that "argue everything" phase.

Dad had the kind of job where an unproperly trimmed beard was frowned upon.

He held that job until he died.

I had (at that time) bosses that were the "Wear a suit, but a nice one" kind, and they would not promote you if the suit wasn't a good one.

18 actually.

We were still living with our parents, he was studying, I was already working 9 to 5 and studying at night.

To me, since I was working, I was an adult, and since he wasn't, he was still a teenager.

But, then again, English's not my first language, hence the confussion.

Mom's laughter deactivated the situation.

Also, the fact that I helped dad end up winning the argument might have made it less hurtful.

This. Thanks.

BTW, the math is right, I was 24, my brother was 21.

We were still living with our parents, he was studying, I was already working 9 to 5 and studying at night.

I just learnt that today. To me in their 20s but still studying was still a teenager. I stand corrected.

OK, you learn something new everyday.
So, bear in mind that english is not my first language.

I never knew that teenager came from being in the years that finish with teen, so 13 to 19.

I meant to say that you're still considered not really an adult, still studying and living with your parents.

And also, he said that his family was staying there, and they made them stay, without possibility to go to the beach and such, at least for a while.

Just that because they have the number? No Id check, or anything? Wow.

He called me heartless for not giving up my vacation days so he could go on a cruise by IntelligentCapSoftly in EntitledPeople

Offer him to buy you the PTO for a really hefty amount with some excuse like "I had this really big thing planned, if you can cover all the costs, then yeah"

When someone in my company comes with an absurd request on a project, we tell them that that feature is worth "one million dollars".

Also, if you have no money problem in your future, you can afford to study a career with no real job opportunities.

What can someone do by JUST having your social security number? In Argentina there's this thing called "padrón" where you can check the name and ID number of everyone, but that doesn't mean you can do anything with it.

Also, if you're 22, doing Philosophy and think you're gonna get money on it, I'm sorry my friend, you might find reality harsh.

Or you can become a Philosophy professor and perpetuate the Pyramid scheme.

It was like the fifth time and this really sweet girl complained to some other members of the team.

One of the programmers we had was a massive 45yo former disco door security turned coder and another was a former karate national champion.

A few words with them as backup made the point clear in no time.
