Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I wonder if it was one of those 2 hour meetings that should've been an email.

if so, I get it. on that alone.

It’s the week before Christmas so probably a mandatory fun meeting where the president announces no bonus this year but everyone gets to leave at 3pm on Christmas Eve!

Whoah whoah whoah! Let's not go overboard! The employees get to enter a raffle to win a $10 iTunes gift card.

Hopefully some executives get an early departure from the mortal plane

It's a factory, they all practically speaking shut down on Christmas week, and depending on the factory and what they do (or how behind they are) they could shut down all the way through to new years as well.

At least that's my experience with factory work in the car supply chain, and the factory where this happened here looks like it's roughly doing the exact same thing. Also just as an aside, a lot of factory type work still here in the states almost always has all sorts of problems with retaining workers.

Now, with that being said, if there's anyone who I wanted to do some legally questionable stuff to in the 5 years i worked at at factory. It'd be the 3rd shift manager, and some of the division managers, each for different reasons.

Goddamn it, I didn't know stabbing was an option to get out of those...
