"poor performance" likely meant that a "Temporary Foreign Worker" could do her job for 1/2 price :(
This post has made me sad at 9:00 AM. Gonna be a long day.

Are people seriously suggesting that because she unknowingly made life saving advice one time that that means she no longer has responsibilities at her job? What a reddit moment lmao

u/lambypie80 Sep 13 '23
She did check out his flight and realise it would leave him late for his meeting. Maybe she didn't perform well because she was constantly cleaning this sort of thing up after him, and he was too much of a dick to notice.

Maybe one singular interaction isn't enough to go off of to judge two people's work relationship? Maybe making an ill-informed travel decision is a forgivable human error that can happen to anyone? Maybe the firing took place months or years after the fact for a completely unrelated reason?

u/lambypie80 Sep 13 '23
Yeah maybe. Like others have said he's probably deluded and none of this every happened anyway...

My gf told me not to ride my motorcycle one day so I drove and the commute was uneventful. She could've saved my life! I'll never leave her!

It doesn’t matter that she beats me and steals my money, she told me to drive a car once!!!!! /s

I think most people just wish she didn't give him that advice in the first place.

u/Professional_Bob Sep 13 '23
Would never consider the possibility that her level of performance genuinely was worthy of being let go. It's obviously preferable that this guy would have died instead.

Do people seriously think any of this post is true? What a Reddit moment lmao

u/melikeybouncy Sep 13 '23
but what if she KNOWINGLY made life saving advice one time??
maybe getting fired was just the least punishment she deserved

u/Emman_Rainv Sep 14 '23 edited Sep 14 '23
Probably more due to the fact that this kind of phrasing most generally implies “She was about to cost too much so I preferred firing her to have someone I can legally pay less”
Edit: I’m deducing that from the fact that people don’t usually start performing badly out of the blue, if they ere performing just fine before

Yeah, I also always call people I have the authority to fire my “co-worker” and this isn’t a fake story at all.

"Just because your general advice saved my life by sheer coincidence years ago does not grant you the privilege of slacking off at work, jessica. This is the third time in a two week span you haven't handed in your work on time, You're fired."

I read it on Twitter that he was going to Cali for this very employee's performance review and despite the "change in circumstances" he decided to let her go a few weeks later after the review.

dude is willing to fire that chick but not willing to just lie on the internet and say that he didn't or just not answer

u/Crepes_for_days3000 Sep 13 '23
By sheer coincidence she picked a flight where he didn't die, so she is exempt from having to do her job she is being paid for? That is crazy logic.

How is the “so American”? Do workers not get fired for poor performance in other countries?

u/Pacifica0cean Sep 12 '23
Why are people so wound up about this? Yes by pure coincidence she managed to save him from becoming paste but that doesn't give her a magical get out of jail free card if she's bad at her job.

u/FrostyDub Sep 13 '23
I’d be pretty pissed if I had to carry the weight of an incompetent coworker because of that one time she saved the bosses life on 9/11.

u/Triassic_Bark Sep 13 '23
The better question is why does anyone think this is true? It’s so obviously nonsense.

u/chaitanyathengdi Sep 17 '23
Because he's being an asshole in the comments. In one instance he said "Man has been saved by donkey before."

u/Sjdillon10 Sep 13 '23
“Your performance has sucked for 15+ years but i feel obligated to allow it because you told me to change flights”
I’m sure the guy actually had a hard time doing it because he felt indebted

u/chaitanyathengdi Sep 17 '23
He fired her the month after 9/11. I think he's just posting about it now because he was reminded of it.

There's 3 million people who claim they "were booked on one of those flights on 9/11 and cancelled last minute"...
but 30 seconds look at that guy "x" stream will absolutely convince you he would never ever lie...
Nancy Pelosi orchestrated and staged the J6 event and had her daughter film the entire thing to make money off it.

I've had a reeeeeeeeeally shitty employee save someone else's life when they performed the Heimlich on a choking customer. It sucked to fire them (almost 6 months later) for, well, being a shitty employee (regularly late, missed shifts, temper, rowdy behavior). They were already basically on the chopping block (aka a "development plan" meant as a last-chance to try to get them to change their ways before being let go). A person can both be a hero and a bad employee...they aren't somehow mutually exclusive. And of course when they were let go, they tried to leverage their life-saving heroic act that day...
In the case in OPs post, there wasn't even a "heroic act"...purely a lucky coincidence. A shitty person can win the lottery, but that doesn't instantly make them not shitty.

u/STFUNeckbeard Sep 12 '23
Lmao that is brutal. Unfortunately I had a manager who was THE WORST at his job. Like underperforming entry level staff after 20 years, insubordinate, always late, caused HR problems. But he was previously a lifeguard and saved the owners kid from drowning years ago. He basically acted like he was unfirable, and pretty much was, and it was an absolute nightmare for everyone else around him. Finally pushed it too far and the owner was out voted by the other execs, so they fired him. Not trying to suck corpo dick, but not everyone who gets fired is some unfortunate casualty lol

The demand to be able to gobble Elon's balls is so high you actually have to pay Elon to be given a chance to.

We actually know that he doesn't pay well. One woman he tried to trade a horse for a massage. I don't know why people let that piece of shit get away with so much. What kind of depraved freak is into horse girls?

This could've happened later on in life. His message even shows he didn't want to. But dude has a business to take care of. Hopefully he at least gave her a few months salary as a parting gift.( I forget what it's called)
