Corporate money made me want to kill myself, which I know sounds like something a hippy on king of the hill would say, but it's true. After a year of being screamed at by horrible customers for things I had no control over, I snapped. I may have been paid well, but one day I realized I was working in a glorified call center. The nice desk and the window view didn't change that. Corporations kill your self worth, your soul, your free time, your happiness, to the point where you bank account can be full and you're still angry and depressed all the time. I'm a lot happier with a job that pays less, and demands less.
Honestly I'd take getting fired by someone like Dale anyday (assuming I was getting fired anyways). Rather have someone get right to the point and not pretend that they're on your side and everything just to make themselves feel better.
That's why you always quit before you let some dumb-fuck fire you. You can always sense it coming. If you don't deserve to be fired, don't let them do it to you. Still have a couple old coworkers I keep as references, and vice versa. Boss was a dickhead trust fund baby. We all agreed once we got free. Lol.
I find that Dale adapted surprisingly well to the cut-throat corporate world. He could have been a venture capitalist if he wanted. But he chose to kill things for a living instead.
My uncle once worked at a job with people like that that are afraid to confront and fire people. What they'd do is just make it clear they were planning to fire them so they'd quit. My uncle when he was told just shrugged and said 'well if they wanna fire me they can tell me.' He worked for 3 more months before they finally told him he was fired lol
Depending on the country or state he worked in, they'd have to compensate him if they had to fire him, unless he wasn't a good worker. They always pull this s**t, like transferring you to God knows where so you have to commute for 4 hours everyday just so you cave in and quit. If there's no good reason for them to fire you just wait until they let go of you, here where I live, you get 3-6 months worth of salary as compensation depending on how many years you worked there.
"...all of em grounded" I knew what this meant in the literal sense when I was a teenager, but now in my 30s I truly appreciate how important such things are. Good on you, Hank.
I like that this subtly hints at the real horror of corporate structures: Sociopaths with no regard for their comrades will rise to the top where they will abuse their new power.
Which is also communism/socialism in a nutshell. People can cut it out with all the “equality” and “fairness” crap; there is nothing equal nor fair about being forced to work in the fields with an AK-47 pointed at my head, and all for the government’s verbal assurance that I am better off than before.
Eh, even then it wasn't permanent. The reason Stik-tech was firing people was due to a failed R&D project. "Pina Colada kept killing monkeys left and right." Given how two-faced and weaselly his boss is, she would have fired Dale once he was done.
Dale managed to do at Stik-Tech what no human being is capable of: not having any emotional attachment or connection with any of his coworkers. Rather hilarious when you consider how much he adores his family.
Once knew a guy who ran a department. Management told him to choose his x number of most essential people and lay off the rest. He sweated over the decision because one, he needed all of them, and two, he was a decent guy. After making all the hard choices he called his guys together and handed out pink slips. When he reported back to the manager, the manager handed him a pink slip. Dirty dog. That manager probably laughs about it to this day.
