I’ve been almost fired for being late at retail jobs, because they’re suuuuper fussy about being a couple minutes late. Luckily my current job doesn’t give a fuck because they just want the job to get done. I’m never late when I work from home, though!
I was fired before when I worked retail for being drunk at a work meeting after the store closed. I was part of a group of about five people who went to a restaurant. I was the only one who fought it. I had to have a conference call with a manager and a judge. The judge asked “did you have any reason to suspect Rai was drunk” and the manager said “Nope!” I got free money to do nothing for a year.
I absolutely was not drunk. Bless that manager for defending me.
It’s the final frontier of data collection once they’ve hoovered up every bit of data they can from the Internet that isn’t already LLM generated.
A great video on this.
