>they are reading a paper and i notice paracetamol at its lowest ever and made a comment that is a really cheap price
>boss asks who i live with and i said my self, my mother and my brother
>he replies with "but they don't talk to you do they?", i didnt know what the hell he meant and said i dont understand", he replies with "well your mother has had 25 years of putting up with you, we've only had 1 year"
Decided I wasn't going to dignify his bullshit with a response and walked out. What does he really mean?
This boss as well is disliked by most of the workers that have been there for years and have briefed me on how the boss knows nothing about the company or what its about and tries to pull strings as if he understands it. I was able to contradict him one time because he almost fkd a job up and he called me a smart arse even though the other workers even said I was correct
He's just busting your balls, beta faggot. Should have asked him how long he'll let you suck his tits.
Jonathan Ramirez
he really fkd with my head hey.. i actually got pretty pissed off and went a bit crazy because i felt so low after he said it
Leo Hall

Buddy has nothing better to do in life op don’t let it bother you.
Brody Torres
it means he's a narcissist. they put others down in hopes of raising themselves up. you did the right thing- leaving a toxic situation.
Henry Johnson
Don't give a fuck, really. Now is the moment for you to sit and wait. If he was truly joking around and is a nice person - which he probably isn't - he'll notice you was upset and will come up to apologize. If not, and you notice he's still acting like a kid towards you and other employees, just quit. Seriously, you don't have to put up with bullshit like that just because he's your boss. He's your /boss/, not your owner.
Elijah Thomas
You failed his shit test.
That's when you fire right back at him with something at least half decent.
That's how respect points are earned.
Carter Peterson
>walked out lmao. what a beta faggot, should have stood up for yourself fag
Evan Lee
If you want to show him who's really boss, go to HR and complain about it. They won't be able to fire you or you can sue. And I mean they won't be able to fire you like EVER. Then you can do pretty much whatever you want at work. Dick around all day, whatever. Tell HR you're feeling less motivated because you're scared he's going to belittle you and degrade you again, and that it has really affected your emotional psyche and you're wondering if they'd help you by paying for you to see a therapist.
Make your therapist appointments during times when you're supposed to be meeting with your boss.
If they call you out, tell them your therapist says you're probably subconsciously avoiding him because he's done so much psychological trauma to you.
Keep pulling stunts like this until he fucks up and says some shit to you again (he will, for sure). Go to HR about it. Stage an emotional breakdown and tell your psychologist about it.
Tell HR you're too emotionally unstable to go into work. Stop going to work altogether.
If/when they fire you, sue.
Live with a few million dollars because a judge decided this guy has fucked you up so much you can't work for someone else ever again.
After you collect the money, go into the office and let him know you're all better and feel great and are enjoying retirement and you just wanted to tell him to go fuck himself.
Walk out. Win.
Thomas Reyes
he did by leaving. anything else could've lead to some fucked up conflict. he doesn't need that in his life, he's not going to end up in a fight and then jail or permanently injured because he allowed someone else to drag him down into it.
it's a loss for the employer already, him walking out.
Ian King
you should have instantly hit him with another smart ass reply, now you look like a bitch

Being a little girl is better than being some beta faggot like you who just takes it in the ass or does something retarded like fires back at the boss and loses his job where he had an advantage and could have been in a position of power.
Don't worry, I'll keep your low IQ our secret.
Grayson Lewis
i like this meme
Noah Morgan
you seem like you were never properly socialized as a child
this is like "ribbing" where your friends will bust your balls, where you might make a comment and your best friend says "thats pretty gay dude! hahah" and tries teasing you about it.
You have to learn how to give it back to the person taking shit, if you let yourself get walked on and be the victim, they'll just keep doing it because it empowers them and they realize you're pathetic.
Depends on the setting and my mood but if my boss said something like that, >"but they don't talk to you do they?" I'd reply with something like >"not really but if I get lonely I just call your mom/wife"
or something like that - if he got offended, or tried some shit like "my moms dad asshole" or whatever, I'd just reply smugly "that sucks dude" laugh, and either leave or eat my lunch and pretty much consider the conversation over.
I dunno, lots of ways you can handle it, but getting butthurt and feeling like shit is probably the worst thing you can choose to do.
Carson Wood
>tries to buddy up with boss and manager >calls ibuprofen paracetamol >doesn't understand boss' question op, the most cringe-worthy autist thing you did was comment on ibuprofen, but you had to call it paracetamol. not even acetaminophen ffs.

Asher Flores
Now now OP. You see, you fucked up. Instead of walking away like a cowed little girlikin, you shoulda stood up, looked him squarely in the eye and said
>"I know you are, but what am I?"
Jaxon Robinson
that's not ribbing, that's a direct targeted insult intended to look like an innocent comment. if OP gets angry his boss will start going "woah dude it's just a joke calm down" and will play the victim, if OP doesn't get angry his boss wins.
you're either naive or attempting to manipulate OP.
Anthony Young

Op is probably autistic. The best thing for OP to do is go on a killing spree. It’s the only way normies learn
Leo Diaz
it may have legally, but it depends on the company culture. the real world isn't some utopia where everything works the way it should, you have to know the environment you're in and know how to survive in whatever jungle it may be.
running to HR or becoming butthurt and feeling miserable is not the solution in real life and this guy will continue getting walked on for the next 50 years if he doesn't learn how to give it back to people the same way he gets it
Mason Campbell
>what is #MeToo - the post
Kevin Rivera
You've just encountered someone with a personality disorder, probably narcissism or sociopathy. There's nothing you can do about it that's normal, because he isn't normal.
It's really understandable why that would hurt so much, but by being hurt you have let him win and manipulate you.
Brayden Gray
my post is the opposite of MeToo, I'm telling him not to let himself be victimized by standing up for himself and learning how to give it back.
You're advocating running to HR crying? i dunno that seems like MeToo
have you worked many real jobs? im in my 30s, I've worked at a handful of companies and one of the few things they all have in common is that there's assholes at every single one of them, people that are either competing with you for promotions, or competing for attention/recognition, or managers who have their own problems and will take them out on you, and all sorts of other shit thrown into the mix.
in the real world you can't expect to be treated perfectly at all times, and running to HR isn't always going to work out the way you think (I've witnessed that firsthand.) In many cases an HR report will still get you fired at a later date, or they'll find an "unrelated reason" at a later date and it's extremely difficult to prove you were unjustly terminated.
Always better to stand up for yourself and learn how to talk shit back, doesn't matter if its a coworker, supervisor, manager, or someone outside of work altogether. Treat people in real life how you would talk to them if they typed shit to you on Veeky Forums, otherwise you're going to get run over at every turn.
Kayden Adams
he said something silly dude, i'm good natured but woulda laughed at him if i heard that irl
Josiah Nelson
What OP is describing sounds extremely hurtful, and not some quick witted banter
Samuel Davis
OP, I'm sorry man - that shit sucks. Here's what I did in a similar situation. Let's say my boss' name is Joe.
>in breakout area with whole team, and some staff from another division >Joe sits down on our table with coffee and paper, people kind of quiet down because he has a lot of respect >really similar circumstance as OP >Joe makes snide remark about having to 'fucking put up with' me for only a year >Damn Joe, that sounds really tough...are you going okay? >how are things at home? >do you want to talk about your feelings? >I'm here for you, Joe.
My manager smirked his ass off, Joe shut the fuck up because any response from him would have led to more of the same from me; and it made him look weak. Never pulled that shit on me again and recently got a promotion.
Ryan Hughes
this. i grew up with these sorts of people, and i can tell you that everything they say, they say for a reason.
they find your buttons, they figure out how to press them, and then they press them in a way that makes you look like an insane narcissist and them like great, hardworking people. their aim is to make you look insane.
nothing in that conversation was a lighthearted gesture or a mildly inappropriate remark. it was targeted and done on purpose. anyone saying anything to the contrary should be blacklisted from your future consideration.
>have you worked many real jobs? im in my 30s >in the real world hey look, an unstable personality disordered person.
protip: if anyone ever says "in the real world" or brings out their age in an argument for no reason, they're 99% trying to manipulate you.
>Always better to stand up for yourself and learn how to talk shit back and here it is, this is the core of a narcissistic person's worldview.
everyone is evil and everyone is out to get you, so hit them first so they can't do anything. don't worry about morality, law, justice, or even just the feelings of the innocent person you've sent into a panic attack or existential crisis, they deserve everything you give to them because they were "bold" or "daring" enough to spend time around you and treat you like a person worthy of consideration!
they'll always hide this behind a veneer of stability and toughness, but don't be fooled.

This this this
What a toxic way of treating people, it's not even spiteful or a light ribbing, it's like spilling someone's drink over for no reason rather than say hiding it on for a silly prank
Christian White
so what is your followup if the recipient takes your banter seriously?
Benjamin Green
I brought up my age/experience only to say that I have been employed for many years and been around a variety of company cultures. Have you, or are you speaking without any experience to base your thoughts and opinions on?
I'm not saying everyone is evil and everyone is out to get you, nor to "hit them first", but the world is a harsh place, not everyone is kind or generous or has your interests at heart (and you shouldn't expect them to.) Most people look out for themselves first and foremost (as they should) and if you get in their way they'll be more than happy to sabotage you if it means they will benefit from it, especially when it comes to the workplace which could translate into financial gains (through promotion/favoritism).
Relying on law and justice is good if you're certain it works, but in many workplaces, the law is about as reliable as in a third-world country where the police and judges are easily bribed.
Regardless, my original point to OP was more about him standing up for himself in the moment and not letting the words of people around him rustle his jimmies so badly that he has to come home and feel miserable about it for the rest of the day. That's no way to live.
Jason Gomez
This guy is right. But my advice remains the same. Spray and pray
Grayson Hughes

Maybe but it never happens. I have lots of friends, make good money, surround myself with happy, fun people. So if I'm a person to be walked on, I guess the assailants haven't found me yet.
Ayden Rogers
You're a massive autist. You don't jump to mom jokes like that straight away. You don't ever do that shit because we're not in 2004.
Mason Sanders
>I brought up my age/experience only to say that I have been employed for many years and been around a variety of company cultures. no you didn't. you set up that trap with the intention that i would fall into it, and then you'd label all of the jobs i've worked as "not real jobs", and you'd probably throw in a jab about being "young and dumb" if i said i was under 30. i know what you're doing.
>but the world is a harsh place i knew you'd say this, so i'll elaborate a bit on my previous point:
yes, the world is a harsh place. but, it's not anywhere near as harsh as this person is making it out to be. the average person knows quite well that others have their own lives, their own goals, and the ability to cause tremendous damage on a whim. knowing this, the average person refrains from starting shit if they don't have to. the average person is far nicer than the average narcissist, because the average person doesn't want to see society destroyed. the narcissist does.
it's been like this for a long time. why was socrates given a mock trial and executed? because nobody in the city he lived in liked him, and they wanted him to fuck off and not cause anymore trouble. they never wanted to host a trial, they just said that they would so socrates would know what was good for him and get out. he refused to, and that's why he was killed.
modern society is the same. you could end up starving to death in a moldy basement somewhere because you crossed some mobsters, or you could simply stay out of their business and live another day.
>and not letting the words of people around him rustle his jimmies so badly yes, telling someone directly that their family has hated them for 25 years and, not only that, but they are hated for a good reason and that reason also applies with everyone they meet is a great example of a dig that someone is taking the wrong way, not an insult that would result in a bar brawl in any functional environment.
Ryder Gonzalez
>yes, telling someone directly that their family has hated them for 25 years and, not only that, but they are hated for a good reason and that reason also applies with everyone they meet is a great example of a dig that someone is taking the wrong way, not an insult that would result in a bar brawl in any functional environment.
You're missing the point: insults should only hurt if they're true.
Saying someones mom doesn't "like them" shouldn't mean anything coming from someone that doesn't actually know the relationship you have with her.
How badly would it hurt you if I said that your dad was a fag, your brother fingered your ass, your girlfriends a whore, and you're a little bald manlet? I assume it wouldn't bother you at all, because I don't know anything about you or your life, and so I can't possibly make accurate claims about you with any real sting behind them.
The weakness is in OP for being hurt so badly by misinformed attacks.
Carson Scott
You should have just reacted in a shocked man and told him how dare he for mentioning your mother. If he goes all "it's just a prank bro", you can still say talking about subordinates mothers is not funny in the slightest and you'd think HR would agree. The best way of fucking these little workerbees is by targeting their professional paths. Say something like above and I guarantee the little cunt would never mouth of to you again. You're well within your right to be angry with him, and you have the right for him to know this. At the end of the day, out of the job, you're two people. Would you let this shit bully you outside of work? If no then stand up for yourself.
Kevin Lopez
>insults should only hurt if they're true. see, guys? narcissist. digest what this idiot has said and avoid anyone who ever says anything similar.
the way narcissists use this little mental trick works as follows
>relax, it was just a joke >well you're awfully sensitive, aren't you? >well maybe it's true >you should only get angry at things that are true, so it is true >why are you getting angry? everything i say is true!
subhumans. in a better age they'd be executed without trial.
Colton Murphy
>The weakness is in OP for being hurt so badly by misinformed attacks. if i hunt you down in real life, look you in the eyes, and call you a pedophile in front of all of your friends, you have no right to be angry?

Thomas Scott
lol dumb autistic cac
When management steps out of duty like that you have free reign to treat them like anybody else at work you coulda said anything long as it wasn't a threat or discrimination
Should have said something about his wife or kids to get him going lol but you autistic probably would aspergered hard and blew everything way out of proportion
James Anderson
Come up with an example that's more similar to OPs situation.
Calling someone a pedophile or rapist is in a separate category because as we know, the mere accusation can often lead to things like ostracization, job termination, or even criminal charges.
Colton Harris
they would actually be kings, lords, etc. because they are assertive and take what they want. it's the weak ones who fall for this kind of stuff who are subhumans, and executing simple peasant folk would be a waste. they would just live like sheep outside the castle serving the upper class nobility by producing and staying out of the way instead.
Nathaniel Nguyen
>the mere accusation can often lead to things like ostracization, job termination, or even criminal charges. knew you'd say this. some accusations and comments are wrong, okay, how is it acceptable to slander someone without any proper reason? what, labeling someone as a leper and using your considerable authority and pull as a manager is completely okay, even though they WILL be ostracized and probably WILL lose their jobs?
>because they are assertive and take what they want. you'll find that we've built up modern civilization expressly to avoid that sort of thing happening. for god's sake, that's the entire point of the declaration of independence, modern republics, and even modern democracy. there is literature going back thousands of years about ousting monsters. the concept of justice itself is meant to oust monsters.
>it's the weak ones who fall for this kind of stuff who are subhumans insulting someone's family and the core of their identity is just something that should be shrugged off?
Bentley Stewart
you predicated your statement with "in a better age," so I corrected you about what would actually happen in that age - of course modern society is better than that.
Leo Gray
>okay, how is it acceptable to slander someone without any proper reason? >using your considerable authority and pull as a manager is completely okay
Point to where I said it was "acceptable" or "completely okay" to slander or label people. I didn't. I just said that it happens, and we need to be able to deal with it when it happens without getting totally SHOOK.
There is a difference between certain accusations of course. Calling someone a rapist/pedophile is a strong claim that can carry legal consequences if it isn't diffused. Whereas saying someone has a bad relationship with their mother is just laughable and has no social or legal consequences.
You seem to be really conscious of "traps" for someone that claims to be so virtuous; are you projecting your own subconscious narcissism?
>you set up that trap with the intention that i would fall into it
>i know what you're doing.
>knew you'd say this.
You're attributing me with motives I don't even have. You're delusional.
Jayden Baker
This. The real world is a lot like high school. If you're an autist, you need to learn how to pretend to be a normie, to be liked and fit in with the crowd, or you will get destroyed. You can think you can rely on "the law" and run to HR, but having to do stuff like that will end up destroying your career in the long-term, even if you feel like you get a short-term win.
If you're thinking about doing something like that, look at the article below. There's a lot a boss can do to hurt you while keeping his hands clean. If you feel like your job situation is irreparable, find a new job, and change how you act in your new job so you don't end up in the same situation again.
sounds like someone is discovering the relations of production. sucks doesn't it

DO NOT LET HIM WALK OVER YOU!
Or he is going to shit up your life.
Christian Young
Go through his personal belongings/computer/phone when no one's around. You don't need to if he has a Facebook profile or if you already have some decent amount of his personal info. If its possible, use a live usb to boot and copy his hard drive. if you acquired his personal information, use it to impersonate someone and frame him. Also use it to impersonate him and do every illicit stuff you can think of. Or find his weakness, insecurities and use it to gossip between coworkers.
Brandon Martinez
You go to HR then you are FOREVER known as that bitch boy that runs to HR. Kiss your career goodbye. You only go to HR to PROTECT THE COMPANY.
HR is there to protect the company from employees nothing else.
Just do your job well and double cover your ass. Make sure you cover your ass in any situation where your boss can fuck you over. Or youll get fucked.
Nolan Harris

>I'm glad my bosses are bretty nice, but my wage sucks. I need to find ways to make money or get a better job. desu i would rather have that than the opposite. if you have some capital and something you're good at you can always find a way to make some money, but as a peon it sucks to get shat on by shitty bosses cause all you can do is try to look for a better job (with no guarantee your new boss won't also be a dick)
Brody Morales
>talking to your boss ever In any case given the context I'd just say to him that his words are cheaper than the price.
Eli Robinson
Well, I plan to introduce myself into web developing, digital marketing and social media management. And maybe eventually into ecommerce. But right now I have no capital to invest at all, and my computer and connection suck way more than you could possibly imagine. That will change eventually in the next months, and I will be able to educate myself into some matters via the internet. Then I will need some money to start selling stuff online.
My plan B is to just learn the necessary to apply for a system admin job and lie about my studies and experience, kek.
Regarding my bosses, they are really nice. I talk to my direct superior about videocards and pcs, and he wants to add me on steam when I have a PC. I work at a hotel, and sometimes guests approach me to chitchat and shit and that's nice too.
The worst thing is the pay, which is almost minimum wage where I live (UK). And where I live right now, the internet connection is extremely bad and the landlord won't change it, but I suck it up cause I pay pretty little for my room which is 10mins at walk distance from my job.

He may have misconstrued your comment. My thinking is that he percieved your comment as a joke, i.e. You guys are talking so loud, here’s a joke about pain relievers. Often taken for headaches. Then he fires back at you because he thought you were shit-testing him, not the other way.
Ignore these fucking idiots telling you to basically ruin your job over a snide remark. It’s inconsequential. Just be polite with the guy, there is no need to escalate this into something actually serious.
