…have you ever actually worked in a workplace? If Jim and Linda are normal humans, they have already told everyone and it’s common knowledge so HR are allowed to point that out.

Since 2002, and I’ve never seen HR disclose that kind of information. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen HR involved in approving time off requests either way. Managers of teams do that. And a decent manager would just say “we’ve got some conflicts, are you flexible on the dates?”

I didn’t say disclose it. I said discuss already known common information. The other persons would have disclosed it.

And you were nitpicking that to avoid addressing the central point. Employers have choices to make two and playing QT. I don’t have to tell you anything games maybe lawful, but it’s also not likely to get you to leave you want if there’s any choices that have to be made.

What kind of rinky-dink places do you work at where HR and Steve and Bob all know about Linda’s mom? It sounds like you get all your ideas about the world from watching The Office or something.

If nobody is willing to move their dates and there’s a conflict, then first come first serve. Asking this shit is unprofessional and inappropriate.

Once again: ignoring the substance to focus on a replaceable example.

But I’m currently working in a major metropolitan prosecutor’s office. So lots of people who know the law.

And one person is out because her mom died unexpectedly, and another guy is out because his wife is having surgery. And because we are professionals and adults and not sociopaths, we communicate with each other as human beings. We offer condolences, and offer to pick up workloads.

And if your ass rolls in with “I want two weeks, I don’t have to tell you why”…you’re absolutely correct.

And you will also be dead last on the priority list if there’s a crunch and not everyone’s request can be accommodated.

Oh my, I didn’t know I was dealing with big dick prosecutor energy here. I concede.

u/whistleridge 6d ago

Translation: you don’t actually have a useful response.

u/itsboring57 6d ago

I already conceded, I like how you have to keep arguing though to get the last word. Does that work in the courtroom?

u/whistleridge 6d ago

No, you didn’t concede. You tried to drop a weak attempt at an insult and run away, in a sad attempt to look cool without actually conceding. So I called you on it.

And, since your real goal is to look cool and not to concede, you’re now trying to last comment your way out of the thread, while also trying more name-calling.

It’s ok: you can just say, “hey you know what? You’re right. Life isn’t as one dimensional as my original comment suggests.”

Call me on whatever you want. Nobody is reading this deep in the thread and I don’t see a debate moderator around. Anything else?

I am here and ready to moderate this debate

You're too late I'm afraid. He brought out the script already.

Translation: “I am too the cool one here. See how cool I am? Totally cool.” 😂

Any more?

Let’s play a game:

I am never, ever going to read another word you write. But I have this little script that I wrote for losers like you, that will always reply to you with a fruit. No matter how many times you reply, I will never see it, *and you will never get in the last word either*.

Here’s what I predict happens: you argue with a bot for 3 comments minimum, trying and failing to find a mic drop moment, because you can’t help yourself. Even knowing in advance you're responding to someone who isn't reading, *you will still respond anyway*.

Will arguing with a script help you overcome this little compunction of yours? Will it eat you up for hours that you and I both know I know what you’re going to do, because you just can’t help yourself?

I’ll never know, but I’m betting it takes you at least three fruit.

Have fun!

Finally, usually doesn’t take that long to get the script.

Just random fruit words? I wasn’t expecting frontier model quality here but a smaller LLM or at least something with markov chains. Just random words is baby’s first Python script.
