Upvoted for congratulations, commented because Ugly Americans is amazing. Do you have something else lined up already or are you job hunting now?

torontonian13 · 2012-10-12T18:24:00+00:00

But in reality you quietly packed your stuff and left the office.

derekdanger · 2012-10-13T00:38:09+00:00

You should get a new job easy. I would pay a koala large sums of money for just sitting in a tree and being adorable. Qualifications needed? Being an adorable fuckin koala.

As someone who used to be a hotel administrator, I feel you.

Stuck around for two years only because of my co-workers.

gahvandure · 2012-10-12T23:46:11+00:00

I loved that show. Thought it was consistently clever.

xeothought · 2012-10-12T20:10:42+00:00

This gif is just that much better when you know the Ugly Americans reference haha

As a fellow underpaid Administrator for eight years, congratulations, and I envy you.

Cyberpork · 2012-10-12T18:21:44+00:00

Good luck.

Zcypot · 2012-10-12T21:25:25+00:00

Grats bro! This might be possibly me depending on how my boss is. I took my friends spot, he was getting paid well, but he said if they dont treat me well he will find me another job.... I guess they will keep on his good side. crosses fingers

Shazaam613 · 2012-10-12T22:57:20+00:00

left mine back in April. moved to a new job with much more greater responsibilities and opportunities. felt awesome. upvote for you sir.

pabosaki · 2012-10-12T23:35:56+00:00

Congratulations sir, hoping to make similar moves soon :)

theowest · 2012-10-12T23:45:53+00:00

ashleyinthecold · 2012-10-13T00:03:23+00:00

Future me...? Is that you?

Droidiq · 2012-10-13T00:17:49+00:00

Congrats and keep the faith and hard work.

r0ugew0lf · 2012-10-13T00:29:39+00:00

TIMMAYBurch · 2012-10-13T00:31:54+00:00

Timmay!

blarg_dino · 2012-10-13T00:36:00+00:00

jdon1807 · 2012-10-13T00:49:40+00:00

I don't know where this gif is from? I love that it's a Koala.

Does it bother anyone else that a cigarette doesn't burn hot enough to ignite gasoline?

iCatxo · 2012-10-13T01:11:29+00:00

Badass Koala.

Selfmindead · 2012-10-13T01:26:05+00:00

Just curious, what were your job responsibilities and what was your hourly wage or yearly salary?

captstix · 2012-10-13T01:41:03+00:00

Good luck.

CarlFromAccounting · 2012-10-13T01:51:23+00:00

Congrats. Fuck corporate America. Fuck that. I got fired from a corporate job, was told (for some reason) that I was ineligible for unemployment from some Israeli man and took a job selling DirecTV installations for 100 bucks commission. Fuck that, man. I got underpaid for 6 months and i'm done.

2 of my customers I'm watching this basically happen.

Customer 1 had a GM who basically ran the business. He'd be on the road getting new customers. He'd keep everyone doing their job but he's also extremely empathic and sometimes he'd see one of his people down in the dumps and he'd know exactly how much he needed to do to get them into a 'great day' For example I was there fixing a win 98 machine which couldn't auth to the domain. We were talking because I was hitting a wall and he saw a lady coming along and you could tell she was pissed off because she had to deal with a couple idiot drivers. His way to turn that around... call her an angel and beautiful. I add in, 'a beautiful arch angel about to strike down a pair of drivers.' She turned right around like instantly and that's all it took.

Well this guy was dealing with various issues at the current job. Owner was trying to sell the place but his books had been getting 'fixed' and he needed to keep them from finding out so the owner wanted him to stop working so hard and take a pay cut. For example... 60 year old building whose mortgage just doesn't seem to ever pay off... to a bank that google isn't aware of.

Except when he stopped get out on the road to get new business... business drops to a dead stop. The potential new owners come in and are looking at things and they see that this GM is paid way more then anyone else in the business short of the owner. They start talking about how they want to let him go because there's no way he's worth that much $. They are literally telling him this directly. Well what do you do if you're him? You go find a new job. Well the new owners suddenly notice... wait nobody is actually working here. Why? They find out it's the GM who holds everything together and keeps work rolling in.

So current owner and potential owners are both then going to him telling him to get back to work, He tells them, 'Well you were speaking that you wanted to lay me off so I found another job.' They offer him the sky but he had the 'enough is enough' event.

He has now taken over for this other business several months ago and my god the business was successful and sustainable before.. they are doing ridiculously well. My other customer? Their potential new owners RAN and the owner learnt he had to go into the business and make heads roll things were pretty bad for awhile with lots of infighting looking to take over the GM position and the owner stomped all over it.

Can't light gasoline with a cigarette. Really!

jargoon · 2012-10-13T02:48:59+00:00

Haha, this matched up perfectly with the Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack:

The track was at about 0:45 when I opened the gif

darmon · 2012-10-13T02:51:42+00:00

Holy shit I came 99.9% of the way to quitting today. If I saw this gif, I'd have definitely done it. Oh well. Monday.

This post vindicates my stereotype that 95% of redditors have poorly paid IT jobs or are unemployed and looking for an IT job.

atlusblue · 2012-10-13T07:32:41+00:00

can I have your old job?

Man next time you repost a gif please at least try to think of a new title instead of basically copying the last guy.
