My Boss Lady is rough on me all week, I think I need a gofundme donation link, $200,000 would ease the painπŸ˜„

reply

he should take the money and run. some people will donate to just about anything.

That's funny, since, if they'd simply given him nothing at all nor even acknowledged his 27 years of perfect attendance in any way, there would be no "gofundme campaign" for him, just like there wasn't when he had 26 years of perfect attendance and got nothing extra for it, or 25, or 20.

So he can thank his Burger King employer for his $200,000+ because it was their "modest goodie bag" that triggered some sort of short circuit that bypassed the logic center of the brains in a bunch of people, leading them to the conclusion that him getting something from his employer is worse than getting nothing, compelling them to give him free money.

Misplaced altruism.

He's one of the lucky ones. Good for him. πŸ‘πŸ‘
