Have I gone too far?

@MaisieMacabe you are simply too clever for words.

I work in debt recovery

Oh dear. I bet you wish it was squeaky dog toys.
I feel your pain.

I have a suggestion. One day wear a very bright, curly wig. Tell everyone that Molly (or whatever your real name is) left unexpectedly for Venezuela, and you're her replacement, Brenda McGlone, known as Bren.

MaisieMacabe · 03/12/2024 19:54

I have another suggestion. Cancel everyone's debts.
(you know you want to)

This reminds me of a Faith No More song.

I don't blame you.
How about the wig idea?
Or bring in a whole load of party poppers and set them off, saying, "well it's nearly New Year" 🎊

To be fair, she pointed out how clever I am.
Which is true.

You would be if this was real stand-up.

It'll force me to do something meaningful with my life either way

Then why not just look for another job and leave. You obviously don't understand redundancy btw. This sort of behaviour could get you fired, which is a very different kettle of fish.

I can’t fucking stand rude people.

Just because you’re miserable in your own life, doesn’t mean you need to try and take it out on yourself.

I guess misery loves company though.

I don’t know if you think you’re cool or clever but reading your posts is really cringey and embarrassing.

I really hope I don’t end up like you when I’m your age.

Good luck in getting a new job with a crap reference.

JohnTheRevelator · 03/12/2024 20:14

They won't make you redundant,they'll sack you!

You need to get a grip and see humour.

There’s nothing funny about being rude and sarcastic and insulting.

ohyesido · 03/12/2024 20:18

Some really bitter posters out there tonight, wishing harm and suffering upon me. Yowch

@blueshoes how extraordinarily bitchy your remark is

Strange. I thought you were trying to get a rise from people?

If my remark is not welcome, then I presume you are just gaslighting.

Do enjoy your kicks where you get them.

Tittat50 · 03/12/2024 20:22

This thread is so weird. If I was working in debt recovery I'm sure my head would have gone through my laptop by now, never mind the rather witty text to boss 🤷‍♀️🙂.

If you are going to dish it out (to your manager), you'd better be able to take it.

It was one funny comment. I've got a senior manager that would think it was quite funny. Get a sense of humour.

Isn’t humour meant to be funny not cringey?

I thought it was funny and very The Office.

Have you ever seen The Office? 😂

The Office is cringey.
