I second the motion!

I third this. Thus the motion passes

The council has decided. Policies are to be changed effective immediately

Majority vote rules, Bethanie has the council’s full support in altering the company policies however she pleases

when you're so good with computers that it would take the whole IT team to stop you (but you do small things that nobody notices)

Wait what else does a birthday suit mean?😭😭

​@@aadrongarg3599What were you wearing when you were born?

@@aadrongarg3599 naked, bloody,& slimy mess-- baby right out of the womb.. live births.. So it's kinda a horror/ horrific thing seen on an adult actually 😂

The person must be non-native American so "birthday" and "suit" are perfectly safe words paired together "birthday suit" 😂 okayyY!!! 👍🏻

I love my birthday suit. It wrinkles just like fine linen and it is self mending when I get a hole. Grows with me so I don't have to make that embarrassing trip to the mall after the holidays! Happy birthday! 🥳

so, when you drink in the office, you aren't allowed to work? That would be the best news this week for me.

Which drugs? Is that ALL drugs? Antihypertensives? Insulin? Etc etc. 🙄

Cannabis? Not for me, a friend.

I'm on medication, so would I be allowed to work for your company or is that a lawsuit waiting to happen?

​@@derorje2035You aren't allowed to work, but it also doesn't count as work time. You chose to come to work inebriated, therefore you chose not to work, i.e. you're skipping work.

Tracy will get him for that

Jurassic park is under Tracy. Hope he gets chucked out of the company window.

​@@maemaemae9032 not until there's a re-org, then his job will be obsoleted

He got fired and a new guy called Ned was hired.

@@maemaemae9032he does. He keeps trying to hit on the HR gal despite warnings. Most of his other crazy behavior gets shut down by the manager.

I think you mean sassy....saucy is uhhh equivalent to spicy for many....

@@FIRING_BLINDnope saucy is just sassy but kinda more passive aggressive

@@notkianbowe2001sure..

I'm always proud to be a Bethany Because I rather have a small job and get along with my co-workers. Then becoming a part of a big corporate scum sucking b*******

My brother WAS a Bethanie. He is an attorney now but when he was younger he would take over a company in 6 months. He's 6'2" and 225. You cannot move him unless he wants to move.

I remember one video meeting, boss all smug to get people on their time off for the meeting, stealing wages away while his boss looked on - at one team member sitting in a hospital bed, fully garnished with pretty much every tube modern medicine has to offer, as he had surgery that day and the meeting was mandatory, no excuses allowed. Boss didn't last very long, as all were giving him the stink eye and big boss told the employee that was post-operative that he was excused.

Maybe it's in the handbook, but my office is lucky that isn't a standard practice for us. On my 3rd day (a Wednesday...), they held a happy hour in the building to welcome the new hires (I was one of a group). My boss's boss's boss came up to me, introduced himself, and then asked me why I didn't have a drink. I replied "oh, I already had two, and it *is* a school night." Him: "If you can't do this job hungover, why did we hire you?" I have since described my office as a drinking place with a working problem...

​@@toda2638 "A Drinking Place with a Working Problem"?!? CLASSIC! 😬🤦‍♀️ But also 😹🤣

Bethanie's toxic in her own way, it's just a different way than her bosses are toxic. She seems cool when she's flouting her bosses' silly rules and ego-trips, but if you ever need her for something that's important to you, you quickly realize she doesn't respect you any more than she respects her bosses. You're all the same to her: Not Bethanie.

Saved their buddies, and most cetainly earned them a few rounds of free drinks

My dad worked at a place who's dress code was "while working, employees must wear clothes"

@@pBlackcoat they don’t say

@@jademorgan6210 remember that for all rules, there is a reason. :)

​​@@pBlackcoat Does bikinis and swim trunks count? They're still clothes, right? 😂😂😂

I do that with my boss!

I've had to pull this out of my hat all the time because someone would always try to schedule meetings outside of work hours...

I just wish someone would check calendars where I work. Yes that 30 minutes suits my needs and my project is most important so cancel that Christmas lunch with the rest of your programming team (we meant in a real time bandwidth!) to attend the interdisciplinary project team. (Yes someone at a webinar described meeting clients at a in person conference as real time bandwidth!!!!??!!)

even if you did, calendars are a clusterfuck. How often can you find an opening that includes EVERYONE, especially with people working from different geographies? Don't waste your energy.

​@@zimzimzalabim The gag is that the "higher up" is claiming people should be willing to meet outside of their work hour. The person offering to "check all the calendars" just has to find a time that works for everyone else and is inconvenient for the higher up. That way it flips the script of "being a team player committed to the job". 😂

My wife works at a place that brings in interns from (local college of relevant industry). There's an intern finishing his rotation this week; he has been banished from every department in the company, ending up reluctantly tolerated in the shipping department, but kept on a very short leash there to keep him from screwing up shipping too badly. Word through the grapevine is, another local employer kicked him out of the building entirely, failing his internship, for screwing up everything he touched and being completely un-teachable. He is at least as oblivious as Jeremy - he told someone yesterday that he expects to be offered a full-time position at this employer the same day he finishes his internship. Uh, sure buddy, you keep right on thinking that. 😞

EXACTLY!

@@DaddyBeanDaddyBean Oh boy! that's a rough one, and at the start of his career too. Someone needs to pull up the lad and give me a proper dressing down.

@@kyakasooramlakavms My wife did give him a proper dressing down - including "your work is absolute chaos, and This. Cannot. Continue." He was receptive to the criticism at the time and took it very well, and promised to do better, but by the following day, he was right back to his old habits. He very well might fail this internship too, and that might wash him out of school entirely.

Their*

I worked from home full-time before it was a thing, and let my hair grow long for a couple years, "ponytail halfway down my back" kind of long. I went to the office for a few days - hair clean and combed and pulled neatly back in a tight ponytail - and got called on the carpet; they said it was a violation of policy and I had to get it cut. I politely asked them to show me the policy that addressed the length of hair - men's OR women's. They couldn't find it right away, and said they'd get back to me on that. They never did, because there wasn't one. 😂

​@@DaddyBeanDaddyBean that's like our dress code is "no shorts, flip-flops, or spaghetti straps". I tend to dress in 50s-style dresses, Edwardian clothes, or collared dress shirts that happen to be made of the most obnoxious quilting cotton I can find. People actually complained about me to my boss, until he pointed out our dress code.

Learned that the hard way previous job charges "Training fees" for those who fail to stay employed with the company for over a year. Also they have the right to fire you at anytime without reason.

This might make you feel better. My employer is being taken over Friday by another company. The HR guy who wrote me up for saying the F word gets canned on Friday. YES!!!

@@erikh9991 Yass! I am so happy for you! I hope the new company will be more fun and fulfilling to work for. All the best!

Or bad judgement

Or is overworked and forgot her camera was on.

@@AmericPet aaaah yes, probably the most likely scenario.

​@@christinevr7698fear of having a Janice moment has resulted in all of my cameras having covers that close immediately after use and have to be manually opened, lol. Now, I get asked where I am since my Zoom background shows an empty room until the camera is uncovered. 😅

She probably has a three year old...

I'm Ausralian. If any boss i had in corporate life had said that at a branch or division meeting, justified or not, there would be a huge outburst of laughter. And his prestige in teh company would be almost completely gone.

@@afpwebworks definitely 🥳 Hey there from Austria 🇦🇹

See my go to is "Great, I like my job and position as it stands. I have 0 interest in a lateral move that will not significantly increase my pay while significantly increasing my workload."

"Limitates" LOL.... Grammer

Oh, no! A career limiting move?! Thank heavens, otherwise I'd get stuck in management, which would be a massive step down in power. By the way, the Sarbanes-Oxley audit is due at 14:00, I hope we don't have a legal compliance issue...

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 Grammar

SAME! I come home from work myself every time Loe posts a new skit and OMFG I am SOOOOOOOOO invested in this series!

I have a friend named Haley! She's clearly got more spunk than me--she just dyed her hair purple.

I know! I'm surrounded by "Madisons" ! I snark them to shreds with every opportunity! Slam dunk on other humans!

Donna Sue will be his destruction and she'll do it with a smile.

@@flickeringtorchto me it's hilarious that girls jut die their hair purple and no one can say anything but if a dude let's the beard grow or paint his hair all of a sudden he is "not presentable" for the company image.

I hope you’re enjoying these to keep your spirit up. What ever you want in life project and know you can achieve. I am sending you good vibes, hold on it will get better. Just please don’t do anything to hurt yourself. You are loved ❤and valued 😊. Take care

I hope things are looking up for you now!

Yesssss, I need them every day

😂😂 so true

It would surprise me if we all didn't have people like this in our working careers, and not just not in an office settings either.

It's all good. You're a Stark, and the Starks are an honourable house #thenorthremembers 😂

Scrolled down to find the Holo Taco comment 😁💅🏻✨

@Amanda S I love finding brands from niche communities I'm in out in the wild

I also scrolled down to see if anyone else noticed the Holo Taco!!

I totally scrolled to see if there were any Taco fans!!! I recognized the bottle just like you!!!🎉

Good eye!

Honestly, most likely will be the same. Maybe in different ways. 99% of companies are toxic in some way or another. A change of scene is good, though.

And yet, if you ask women which gender they prefer as a boss, most will say men.

​@@frankserpico6785 Not me. I prefer to be my own boss. Nobody controls me!

I don't care what gender my boss is as long as they treat me fairly, logically, and don't try to power trip. But most of the time, when you add "Mgr" to someone's name, they start losing brain cells and act the idiot. I'm going to treat you like you treat me. Unfortunately most large corporations seem to have adopted "work harder, not smarter" policies, instead of "smarter not harder". The lack of brain cells goes all the way to the top. The further up you go, the fewer there are. 😒

maybe if jericho gave himself more time outside of work then he could do something with his hair😂

​​​@@kir-is-here Jerkemy still couldn't be stylish no matter how much self-gawking in every mirror he engages in 🦱😜🤣

I’ve literally said that in meetings. Usually though it’s “let me finish explaining the procedure before you ask a question “

For me, I would let them finish their explanation then say something along the lines of, "I'm sorry you had go to the trouble of explaining all that, but that was actually not my question. What I was trying to ask was... "

"Um...excuse me, but I was speaking. I give you the courtesy, respect, and decency to finish your dialogues without interruption. I should rightfully expect reciprocation of the same from you." Then, when they try to cut me off or scold me, I just ignore them and start talking louder.

Yesss

Me too

That's what I want to know! Or is this team that cross-functional?

This one, it's the same person doing all the characters

Woosh

A birthday suit is slang for being naked as the day you were born.
