An actual capitalist innovation
I just noticed this on our calendar and had to wonder if the boss of the calendar company made them put this here.
Edit: Wikipedia says it is real:
Boss’s Day (also written Bosses Day or Boss’ Day) is generally observed on October 16 in the United States. It has been pitched as a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year.
Hahahahahahahahahaha. I’d so love to see them try that here in France!
Oh I think it should be a day where the boss does the actual job and shows us why they’re boss
That has got to be a deeply sarcastic joke, hasn’t it?
Apparently it’s a legacy of nepotism. Someone in 1958 was working for daddy and wanted to celebrate daddy on daddy’s birthday for being such a good boss. Thanks daddy.
I’d use this service for when I need to retire or quit from a job I may not like. Like how the Japanese do.
Oooh I dont know what you’re referring to but I would like to
Japanese working culture is … different.

Tl:dr;
The top-cited reason for using resignation agencies, at 40.7%, was that companies refused to let them quit. Other reasons included fear of backlash if they resigned alone or their work environment discouraged employees from quitting independently.
discouraged from quitting? bitch the whole point of quitting is to not be beholden to your shit.
If you want to be unemployable in Japan as a whole, sure, leave on your terms. It’s fucked up.
In Japan companies even do their best to not fire people and just bully them into quitting. So they don’t have to pay severance and also maintain their image. They will basically isolate employees from their colleagues and give them jobs that they weren’t even hired to do, like cleaning even though they have a cleaning crew. Like at Konami employees they wanted to let go of were forced to clean the Konami gyms.
Being isolated from your colleagues doesn’t sound that bad to us, but in Japan many people don’t have many friends outside of their coworkers. Not to mention everyone knows what is about to happen if they isolate you. It’s a way to shame you.
Basically they do shit that is straight up illegal in most western countries.
Sheeeeesh
that is awesome ty for the link!
I’ve been watching Jon Breaks Bad News, he makes calls like this on stream, it can get pretty wild.
Need a link for this genius already
I was curious too, so did some searching. His name seems to be Calimar White (based on this Tiktok page), and the company is called OCDA (Occupational Cares Diversity Affairs). The website, which also has YouTube videos, is at https://ocdaofficial.com/
I love the unofficial slogan “we are NOT affiliated with OSHA” 😄
Incredible name, I really want to say it out loud but my husband’s sleeping next to me.
Edit: Calimar White, not the company
What happens if you are the only employee or one of two employees in your company
If youre the only one, I think it would look like that Monty Python sketch “Argument Clinic”
From my understanding, he doesn’t necessarily make it clear that it’s a employee’s complaint still, depending on the complaint it would ve obvious
what happens if you send him to a friend’s business because they were complaining about having a boring day
You just have to be the first one to mumble: i can’t believe he did that
You make the complaint clearly refer to things that only affect the other employee and wait for the shit show
I complained to my boss about my boss and he would make sure to change things for the better of his employees. Because the less employees complain, the better work they do.
Love how he points to the text and is like “See? Right here it says Dickwad”
It’s written down! You can’t argue with science!
This takes away all the fun of insulting your boss yourself…
Don’t worry. His services are not mandatory.
Nah, the good old days, when you’d step out for a smoke break and cut their brake lines, before they leave to take a two-week holiday vacation. No HR, no confrontation, just results. And maybe a promotion!
Now we have ‘mediators’ and CEOs don’t like having an office with floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor anymore…
You don’t get it. He’s job is to talk.
He is job is to talk?
I was going to say “It is late where I am” but I was fully awake when I wrote this. I’ll keep it as it is.
Hesa joba isa to talka.
I literally love this king.
A great idea, but I think a lot of businesses would never let this guy past the front desk/security.
How does his company make money?
it’s business consulting, maybe you’ve heard of it. big money in consulting. he’s doing it right
