At my job- The definition of irony

[z1ggy]

We know what irony is. I think you don't know what strange or funny is.

It's strange that a security guard finds two people banging on one's desk.

If that's not strange to you, I'd like to come work where you work.

I love this place so much

It's a no smooooooking sign, on your cigarette break.

Also, don't security guards usually contract from security companies? That would make it hard to be fired directly by a VP. He would have to call the security company and request a replacement, which would muddy the waters as far as wrongful termination.

 

[rudeguy]

Whatever, it's ironic to me.

Moving on.

VP is now "suspended pending further investigation" and the manager is not in work today as far as I know. Likely also the same thing, although she's much more likely to get her job back, but likely with a demotion.

VP is likely screwed.

Is there a video?

Find out if there is a video.

Well then.....isn't that just like a traffic jam when you are already late???

Screwed for the screw he got and the one he tried to give. And she can screw her way back into her job.

The VP of Human Resources got caught by a security guard last week banging the manager of HR on his office desk late one night.

I think you've made it clear that you don't know what irony is. The New York Times style guide says:

"The loose “use of irony and ironically, to mean an incongruous turn of events, is trite. Not every coincidence, curiosity, oddity and paradox is an irony, even loosely."

The part that you referenced as irony is really just hypocrisy or an abuse of power.

The company I work for subs. for another company, which subs for the government.

So we just hire direct. All the security guards, firefighters, etc are all employees. The only people we sub out are the cafeteria workers. Hell, even the janitors are company employees.

Okay wellllllllllll when I'm looking for a grammar nazi, I'll give you a shout.

The guard should have been like "I see noth eeng. NOTH EENG!" before waddling out the door.

I hate my job enough that I've already planned it out in the event that I catch a higher-up banging...

No blackmail, I just demand that I be let go with a competitive severance package. Hope they don't murder me before I get away?

You're a fucking moron. I know what you're thinking, but "fucking moron" means something different to me!

Maybe someone should write a book that defines words and unequivocates their meanings.

I'm not sure I would like to see ANY of my coworkers banging :hmm:

I read this post with a cheesey BK accent, and assuming you're a short little fat italian guy. Maybe you toss in a few "Fahget ah baaaat itttttttt" in there for fun. It really helps my moronic sense of the world if I use my imagination when reading people's posts. Am I close?

Small world. I just heard about this rumor today at work.

Wow

How ironic!

never stick your pen in the company ink

I think the irony is supposed to be in the HR part, which I sort of get. They're supposed to be the arbiters of good behavior. I'm not sure if its irony or just hypocrisy.

human resources - they manage the company resource classified as "human"

It's like 10,000 spoons, when all you need is a knife.
