30 Times Bosses Wrote Such Delusional Notes, These Employees Just Had To Shame Them Online

Is this a thing? Genuinely curious as I’ve never heard of thank you notes being part of the job process here in the UK.

I’ve been working since 1979. Never had to send a thank you note after an interview before. It was always the companies who either called you if you got the job, or at least sent you a “thank you, but” letter—-which still urged you to apply again if another job opened up—-if you didn’t.

You select someone for an interview because you like what you see on their resume i.e. you need someone to fill a certain position. Please stop treating job applicants like beggars. You're not the only place hiring. Have some effing sympathy.

My company took 2 months to get back to me in 1999 when I joined, but they kept me informed it was taking a while and I was happy to wait, and I absolutely did not send them a thank-you follow up, are you crazy?

This comment sums up the generational problem (no "issues" here.) In my early twenties I applied for a lowly Production Operator's job with a major local employer and fortunately failed to secure the job. I was treated courteously and fairly and wrote to the Personnel Officer thanking him for the interview. Several years later, my career had progressed and a senior position came up that I fancied. Landed the job and established a sound career path. Once in post, I talked to the Personnel Officer and he recalled they had checked my previous application and found my "thank you" letter on file, that swung the job...

What really worries me is that he is asking the employees to spy on each other, and report their workmates if they see them talking. This bastard would have been a very happy and eager member of the Stasi!

When I worked at Coles (a supermarket chain) we were not allowed to speak to the person on the next register. So we could stand there for up to 4 hours (or more), less than 2 feet away from each other, but not talk except for work related stuff. It was ridiculous standing there ignoring the person beside you while waiting for customers.

Time to talk with your coworker (when the boss can hear you) about finding a better job.

It’s not like the store was packed with customers and the employees were pointedly ignoring them to continue talking to each other. That would be cause for concern. But no, there wasn’t a soul in the store except the two of them. WTF does the boss expect them to do? Stand at attention and never even acknowledge each other? Of course, whenever the boss is around, by way of malicious adherence to the new rule, they should do their work and not let the boss try to engage them in conversation. Turnabout is fair play, after all.

Wow. That's a fantastic method of getting employees to utilize the benefits of teamwork. A way to boost morale and encourage workers to exchange ideas about job improvements, or suggest solutions to challenges. I guess camaraderie is outdated.

Because voting for Trump took superior logic and reasoning.

They mean people who know the labor laws.

Please let this be a joke. I'm trying to find the background info. about this. EDIT: I can't find anything other than the person who originally posted the picture, commented and put it on Reddit. It has been copied to many other sites, but not one actually mentions the name of the store, location.etc. Maybe someone has better search skills than me? I am still hoping this was made up to get people's blood pressure up, to which it succeeded with at least one person :(

The notice itself denies logic because it concludes before knowing a person or tag a person skills based on their political beliefs. According to their logic, they should be the one getting tagged liberals.

the sign goes "we don't hire liberals, not because we disagree or hate them, but because we believe they are stupid and we hate them." in a nutshell

Lawyers love it when employers are this blatant

That’s Illegal!

In the US, that’s illegal. You have the right to discuss your pay with other employees. Thing is, companies get away with this s**t because people have been brainwashed by corporate b******t, and aren’t aware they actually DO have that right.

Only places that are paying people waaaaay too little make these kinds of rules.

Absolutely illegal

Nope. Ageism is ageism... whether against the young or the old. Not all Gen Z-ers would do this, not all boomers are reliable.

The note is hideous, but I kinda understand his annoyance of having the bfs there the entire shift. I visit sometimes my bf, but never stay for more than half an hour: he is at work after all
