Corporate job, terrible decisions, change of management, extra work for most people for the same money. Everyone is outraged and not happy.

So management organizes a company-wide zoom meeting to introduce new roadmap, changes, new management teams, etc.

HR is running an anonymous question board throughout the meeting, where everyone can send in questions and feedback through a web application link/QR code (Slido) for the Q&A section at the end.

Some questions are still praising management, "looking forward to working with xyz", "great opportunity", fucking toxic positivity like what you can see these days on LinkedIn. So of course management only answers/discussing these pretentious shitty questions and not dealing with more serious stuff.

So well done idiots, nobody knows who the ass kissers are, so it was pointless.

Someone in a school I worked in changed from saying 'specific' to 'pacific' just because the deputy head said it that way.

In person? My first job was pretty sweet, pretty much everyone understood worker solidarity, even most of the management was good people. One day i warned my friend that i was probably not going to show up the next day, you know just giving him a heads up. Well this new hire overheard and apparently went to management over it! I got chewed out by the only guy in management that acted like managing a shitty big box store in the middle of bumfuck nowhere was a holy calling worthy of power and respect.

Ending unrelated to the boot licking; after that, this prick has the audacity to act like i was his buddy he could be a bigot with. don't know why he thought i was his guy there (i was white and the most heteronormative looking man in tht department, but even then i openly hated him and was super close with the openly and obviously not cishet guy) but i got him fired over it.

I should be a little grateful though, he taught me that not every homosapien is a real person.

Quite a lot of the UK population during the last coronation. Vomit-inducing stuff.

There was this one time. I saw a guy. He picked up a boot, and licked it.

“Woah.” I said to myself.

“That,” I went on, in my interior voice, “is an egregious example of boot-licking.”

That’s it. That’s my story. Subscribe and hit the ‘like’ button.

Every post on linkedin. Bunch of fake ass people kissing corporate asses.

People that need permission to feel outrage at a genocide then call Muslims who’s families have been slaughtered, “single issue voters” to try and bully them into voting for the guy bypassing congress to send money to the war criminal implicated in the genocide.

Specifically, Tim Scott telling Trump he loves him was particularly sickening.

My cat literally licking my boot.

I've heard about those temporary embarrassed billionaires that will someday whoop them poor ass once they get out of their situation.

The GOP in regards to Putin

Fans of a game trying to defendd it from constructive criticism on the Steam forums.

MAGA fans.

In the two decades I've lived, I can't begin to tell you how many times I've seen people flock to the wrong people, often at the expense of innocent people caught in the crossfire, and then brush off whatever looks like it could challenge their familial/platonic/etc. standing. It played into one past question of mine that ultimately got misunderstood in some ways. I see it in the bureaucratic world, I see it in the personal world, everyone just thinks strangers must suffer the one third of a two thirds compromise. It's all formulaic (well, except for the time a CPS leader my old community says they hate ended up running for mayor and winning).

most commonly:

1. people working extra hard with hopes of rising the ranks
2. workers trying to capture more executive style roles as assistants to make bosses work easier
