While some people spent April Fool's cataloguing all the brand jokes and PR stunts (ahem, Tubbycoin), DSA Cleveland decided to ask Twitter to share work experiences they wish were jokes. We're guessing that this had something to do with Amazon being under fire for their inhumane work conditions, but there's something about hearing horror stories from other industries that really puts things into perspective. The experiences range from absolutely heartless, to the kind of acceptable shamefulness that people experience every damn day. While we take no pleasure in sharing these bleak realities, it's kind of wrong to keep ignoring the f*ckery that we all deal with to pay the bills.
bad bosses
People, people, people. When will you remember the golden rule? Never become friends with your boss on social media. You can get fired. Even though we do believe y'all should be careful, as you can see in these texts, a certain Cody Hidalgo was canned for sharing a "Boss gets a dollar, I get a dime" meme that celebrates shitting on company time - and that's pretty freakin' ridiculous. The meme is stupid, and we can see how it might annoy an employer, but it doesn't seem like a fireable offense. And it certainly doesn't warrant getting bullied by the boss' son. Read the exchange below and see if you agree.
