Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime

That's why I poop on company time

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 65 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Boss makes a thousand, you make a buck.

Go steal the catalytic converters off the company truck.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

CEO pay is 344 times the average worker's, grab the pitchforks and torches we have a mob to form.

Sorry, I don't have a cutesy rhyme.

Boss makes $3.44, I make a cent. Sharpen the guillotines, cause I can't pay my rent.

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I feel like “dollar” would’ve been smoother than “$3.44” but great rhyme nonetheless.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Could just round to "3 dollars"

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

We'll workshop it on the way to the office

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 29 points 2 months ago

I say I'm sick, boss doesn't care

That's why I squirt a shit all over his chair

BOSS MAKES A TWENTY, I GET A BUCK

NOW I SMOKE CRACK IN THE COMPANY TRUCK

poop on company time

Amazon intensifies

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 10 points 2 months ago

Hopefully, one day, Amazon will allow their drivers to poop into bottles...

Disclosure: I'm in the UK where the worker protections are half-decent.

was it ever not OK?

It was not OK to not take a jobby on work time when you had the opportunity!

I've worked shifts where my relief staffer has been in twenty minutes early (long commute, unpredictable traffic) so I've handed the shift over, and ensured that the remainder of my time was spent losing half a kilo of weight in five minutes. Conversely, it feels far more productive to leave the house half-needing to give birth to a brown otter, and nip to the bog once your feet are clear of your workload that you've taken on from the previous shift to go and perform the bowel movement while being paid for it.

Shitting in my own khazi on my days off feels like voluntary work now.

Sensibly though, any manager who controls bog time is just a bit of a fanny. Unless someone is obviously taking the piss like spending four hours of a ten hour shift, then people will perform better once they've laid a cable whenever they've needed to.

American here. I'm choosing to believe that this is just a normal, everyday amount of poop-related slang for the UK, and that you're not playing it up for comedic effect.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 months ago

If anything this is very tame.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 months ago

I am literally - and I'm 100% serious - pooping at work right now.

Highly recommended.

[–] bblkargonaut@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

If your good at something, never do it for free

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Amazon charges you for every minute spent in the lavatory, so best not to be too awfully thorough wiping and washing your hands...

Side-note: it's so funny to substitute different words for toilet there - if I said shitter how would that read differently?:-)

Omg that is perfection! 🤩 Nothing says "toilet" quite so well as that particular shithole.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know longer tweet out your tweets. You “X-creet” your “X-crement”

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 2 months ago

Eww gross... I love it and h8 it at the same time!:-P

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Now, I'm sure she's pretty used to the fame, but that'd still have to be a little weird for her to read.

“Remember that everyone poops. Visualise someone famous on the toilet (like Taylor Swift),” is the first recommendation.

[–] _____@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't poo at work. No bidet, no shower, no go.

[–] PenisDuckCuck9001@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Why would you want to take a shit in a shitty bathroom stall with 1 micron thick toilet paper and an automated sink that barely cleans. I wait until I'm home to take a shit.

[–] _____@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

At work ppl can hear you piss even if you do the trick 😉, I couldn't imagine shitting your heart out in there.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

This should be the theme song.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Can't do it. Gotta poop at home. Thankfully I'm in a small community where getting home and back again is quick enough to not be missed.

[–] DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

No link? wtf guardian

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I hate this. Community bathrooms are gross. If you can smell it, there is a piece of it inside you.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I literally have to poop at work; I can't make it home fast enough.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If the ultimate goal is to protect your health, holding it in us clearly worse than smelling a little bit of shit. You're position is, quite literally, irrational.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I hate that I can work from home and be comfortable but because C-Suite invested in the local lunch spot I have to sit in an office and have teams meetings with people in the cube next to me. You wanna shit with friends, go ahead. I like my bidet and soft TP.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like my bidet and soft tp too. Although the to in my office isn't bad, but it's certainly more the bidet that I miss. Definitely prefer to shit at home, as most people do.

But the implication of your first post was that it's somehow unhealthy because the shit is now "inside you." Which is what I was addressing, not the non stated claim that you simple prefer it for bidets and toilet paper.
