Don't be passive aggressive, Ultimuh. I think Truean asks this because people have gone through their posting history before to dig up dirt on them. If no one quotes, they can redact everything if need be.

My intention was not to offend, just trying to be jestful.
Any way.. Truean, it is awesome that you attempt to fix things. And sorry if my attempt at being funny may have caused grief.

Sorry about that. It's just that I recall people actually quoting Truean out of spite and I'd rather this not spiral into the same sort of drama it did last time. I want my WTF thread to be free and unlocked, damn it.

Mm, there are legitimate professional reasons to not want to be quoted.

I am so fucking upset with my job today. I work HARD. I show up early or on time., I always have a good attitude. I am polite to customers.

So why is a tardy, rude, negative, poorly performing asshole with no redeeming qualities accepted?

Well. I am going to ask my bosses. Fuck it. Tomorrow is the day.

Sad and all too often "The Truth" answer:

In certain industries, attracting replacement workers is such an arduous and difficult task that keeping the toxic employee is less terrible than firing them, and going without any kind of replacement.

Sadly, most employers in such a circumstance don't introduce rewards programs to incentivize good behavior to counter or supplement for the lack of punitive action for misbehavior, which leads to demotivation of the the good staff, turning them into bad staff.

Truean was a lawyer, but IIRC she was getting incredibly burned out and was trying to switch careers.

Yeah, gotta wonder when they're getting such blowback about being horrid, whether they're just clickbait shit now or if they take this seriously.

Jezebel is kinda like MTV nowadays, only still exists because of insane rich people throwing money at it and nobody half sane actualy takes it seriously.
