1. I'm sorry, but is this real? I like how just *enough* of the name was left uncensored so

you can tell what it is. And it just happens to be THAT name.

2. Care to add a link to support this as something other than troll bait? n/t

3. Jeez- such suspicion, I am not a troll-an ass at times, but never a troll

5. Then post a link to the source of this in the OP.

Easy, huh?

8. You know, I feel irritable today

So I'll let that snide remark pass with a simple- Thank you for the advice

[Ms. Toad]

10. Nothing on Reddit to suggest it is fact-based.

This is the kind of post which we love to believe, since it matches our confirmation bias. Way too easy to run with it - and then find out later it was just someone pulling a practical joke

I'm not accusing you of making it up - but I don't trust too "good" to be true stories without support. A bald post on DU (or Reddit) isn't support I trust.

Looking more closely at Reddit - and it is labeled, "Maybe Fake, But We Like It." I.e. it satisfies our confirmation bias, so we don't care if it's true or not.

4. I smell a business about to go out of business very soon

If I worked there I'd find a new job and quit just out of self preservation.

6. What a poor excuse for a leader

Looking for external excuses for a lack of workforce and treating the pandemic like it is simply a nuisance.

If their business fails, they'll blame others, but the reason stares back at them from the mirror.

7. I am aware of more than one business with exactly that policy

9. Who would ever want to work for that a-hole?

So glad I'm retired now, but this memo would have never seen the light of day at my old company.

Why are some bosses so pathetically stupid and callous?

13. It's not true.

Come on.

11. I used to work for a company like that

Except the first initial would have been an R.

14. Like the header at reddit says:

Probably fake but we like it.
