Have I gone too far?

The Office is cringey.

This proves you have no sense of humour.

You are really clutching at straws here.

Have you ever seen The Office? 😂

I don’t think they have as this is nothing like the office.

I love the office (Uk version) but this definitely isn’t like that.

There were no twats trying to be rude to be made redundant on there.

The closest character OP comes close to is Chris Finch who was a dick.

What is wrong with you?

Life is easier when you have a sense of humour about the sense of humour of other people.

The Office is bloody brilliant.

This proves you have no imagination.

Ricky Gervais would absolutely rip you a new arsehole for being so serious.

This is a good philosophy for life!

I'm finding MN quite scary recently 😬 and it's not because of OP; made up post or not.

NewBootsWeather · 03/12/2024 20:38

Ricky Gervais would actually find the OPs post funny.

What! Is this a function you can use on MN!? I need to look into this. I can answer my own posts if no one replies then 😄

Stravaig · 03/12/2024 20:41

Maybe MNHQ can help out by making your account redundant.

Startingagainandagain · 03/12/2024 20:45

This thread is quite funny.

Interesting to see how many people are 'triggered' by someone who seems to have run out of fucks to give at work...

I assume the OP has been in that job for quite some time and is in a sector (public service?) where it is difficult to get rid of people.

I keep thinking that I would like to be made redundant too but I think my current employer is way too tight and daft to offer decent voluntary redundancy terms. Instead they try to get people to quit. I am not quitting and also currently doing as little as possible and hoping as well that they will pay me off.

Edited

Actually he’s apparently a pretty down to earth guy and from what I’ve heard absolutely hates rude people like this.

Absolutely no reason to be rude and disrespectful just because you’re ashamed of how your life’s turned out.

If you’re not happy at work, then leave.

ohyesido · 03/12/2024 14:44

You're all very right but it amuses me to push the boundaries somewhat

Disrespectful and rude.
Pushing boundaries? Showing yourself up more like.

@blueshoes how extraordinarily bitchy your remark is

Wasn’t it?!

Have you seen him live? He hates people that gets offended easy 🤣

If you were a real fan

Ricky Gervais: “Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right”

coxesorangepippin · 03/12/2024 20:54

Please can we have another screenshot

Priceless 🤣

Snowdrop17 · 03/12/2024 20:55

The job market isn't great out there OP. If you want to protect your future, you will need a good reference and not a history of being sacked. Apply for something else if you're not happy.
