This is worse than a boring distopia. This is a “let’s scientifically measure and control the breaking point of humans” level distopia.

I would not provide my employer with either photos of my loved ones or my favourite music

Fedizen ,

this is just the uncomfortable toilets in reverse.

Wow, this is a great idea for something "Friend Computer" would do in the Paranoia RPG; this community is a gold mine!

So they’ll show family photos while playing “We shall destroy”?

That would just be weird.

I’m having a hard time processing that’s not from The Onion…

Is this one of those “corporate wellness programs” we hear so much about?

I’m still pissed they scrapped my idea of sending in a cold slice of pizza cut in half with a card that reads “we love you employee -A” 😡

Cold slice of pizza with a randomly placed large hair on it. You’ll be so distracted and lightly stressed out by the hairy cheese plank that your original major stressors will be forgotten.

I first read “mortgage of the family” and somehow it’s worse.

Lost_My_Mind ,

They’re going to show me pictures of people who I don’t really like, accompanied by metal music that’s probably about killing people, or eating peoples flesh, or snuggling kittens?

InFerNo ,

My first thought too

BLOWTORCH SLAUGHTER 🤘

So, Grinfucked, by Devildriver, is one of the songs that’ll play for me. Ok.

Having worked in a call centers, I feel like it’s the dumbest, most self centered boomers with “customer is king” attitude that just want to shout at someone rather than fix their issues (that can usually be fixed with a Google search). It’s like they need people to suffer. Just let them hang up when people are disrespectful instead of this shit.

Along with a subtitle reading “it would be a shame if something happened to them”

Definitely feels like a threat. Think of you kids starving without the paycheck we generously decide to give you

Hush, little wagie, don’t say a word.

AI’s gonna show you a photo of your kids.

My first “real” job was in retail. One of the assistant store managers was an old Vietnam vet named John. John spent his whole [civilian] career, 40 something years, working there at a job he absolutely hated. He was notoriously grumpy, rough around the edges, and smoked like a freight train. But, John did two things for me that I will never forget.

First thing: One day a customer was looking for something in a department that I wasn’t familiar with. I tried (and failed) to help him find what he was looking for. There wasn’t anyone staffing that area so I called John for help. The customer was an asshole. He was being a complete jerk from the start and when John showed up, he proceeded to tell John just exactly how incompetent he thought I was, while I was standing there.

John just glared at him and very politely but sternly said, “Sir, I’m going to have to stop you right there. jubilationtcornpone is one of our finest employees and I’m sure he tried to help you as best he could. I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t talk about him like that.” The guy wasn’t happy but that did shut him up.

Second thing: John and I are talking one evening and he just kind of puts his hand on my shoulder and says, “JubilationTCornpone, You need to get the hell out of here and go make something of yourself. You don’t want to be here when you’re my age. Don’t waste your life.”

16 year old me didn’t particularly like John. He was a hard boss. Also, did I mention he was perpetually grumpy? But, he earned my respect. He stood up for me and wasn’t going to just stand by and let someone else treat me badly. Even if that meant losing a customer. If you’re an executive or manager and you force your people to just sit there and take it while they’re being bullied or harassed, then you’re an enabler.

Nobody deserves to be treated like that. People get upset. Sometimes for legitimate reasons. i get that. That doesn’t give them the right to treat others like they’re less than human. Even if it’s someone that they’ll never meet face to face.

I <3 old vet John

Also anybody reading this:

go make something of yourself

If retail is your final form that’s OK too!

jubilationtcornpone ,

Retail is definitely OK. I think it was more to the point of, “Don’t build a career that you’re going to look back on with regret.”

brbposting ,

Yeah for him it was not OK!
