Company on TikTok got ROASTED for posting this incredibly cringe and honestly infuriating TikTok about how there’s two people working in office during Thanksgiving in the USA, and it’s just the two of them, no one else is there, but they still have to come to the office. They thought they were really doing something here and going to make people laugh. But they are so out of touch with reality. Almost every other company I’ve heard of let’s people work from home during this time, but not these truly soulless corporate shills, of course. And they had the audacity to say that they enjoy working in the office, and it’s not even a good office with cubicles, mind you. It’s one of the open concept ones where there’s no privacy and you have to hear everyone fully…

    I’ve worked in it for 30+ years and I will assure you, if you want people to come to the office in this day and age, just in case something critical might fall over, you’re doing it wrong.

    It’s no longer the age of kernel panics on your sluggish HP D9000 anymore. Although… where the f did I put the boot tape again now… fml. Effing tapes dammit.

      If this is one of those shitty companies that makes people come into the office I could see IT guys wanting to do some maintenance when folks are gone. I remember back in the day I patched a few hundred Windows machines on a holiday because I could get it done faster without having to pull Karen away from her Freecell game.

      Of course, back then I had to go from PC to PC with a Windows update disk which isn’t the case anymore. Maybe they needed to route some cables? Do some network maintenance?
