2 people got fired from one of my previous jobs for handing this out.
To be fair, someone handing this out to someone in-person is probably an asshole. Sure, you can blame someone else for being upset, or you can blame yourself for being a dick.
If someone gets upset for no good reason then fine, that's on them. I tend to try not to purposefully upset people though. I hope most people agree.
As I mentioned in different responses, this was at a demolition company. The joke landed really well with all the workers, but an office person came for a site visit and kicked up fuck when they saw it.
As a mechanic, this would be the same in our shop. It’s funny until the wrong manager sees it.
I think they were probably right.
It was a demolition company, no one batted an eye until one of the office folk did a site visit.
It would be so much fun to walk directly from that interaction to HR with this in my hand. What the fuck was somebody thinking believing that was professionally acceptable?
As I mentioned in my response to someone else, it was a demolition company. No one was offended by it until one of the office folk spotted it on a site visit.
The work culture could be considered toxic, I suppose, but if one of the workers was legitimately having a hard time everyone else was supportive. This actually landed really well as an inside joke.
And people wonder why young folks don't want to work in the trades anymore. I don't come to work to be put down by small men with big egos. There is shop love, and there is being an asshole, and belittling somebody that's upset is just being an asshole.
This could only be great or terrible, no middle ground. 😄
