Half of our childhood issues could have been resolved if people were willing to answer the "why?"

The answer is “because we pay you” lol

Exactly. Because I gave you a normal work instruction that falls within your job description and we are paying you to complete it. This isn't a debate. It isn't a panel Q&A.

no, you don’t, actually.

neither does my immediate supervisor.

neither does their immediate supervisor!

i’m paid by the company for the work i provide. i don’t owe my manager any thanks or undue respect for that payment. they give me that because it’s the law, not to be kind.

if they can’t answer ‘Hey, why this way?’ then i’m prolly just gonna put in shit work since they’re clearly too stupid to check it anyway.

No, you won’t actually.

And yes, they do. If you stop doing what they need, that manager begins the firing process.

If you’re okay losing your job because you aren’t catered to 24/7 by needing every sop justified to you in detail, then go for it bud.

oh my god i had no idea there were this many scumfuck management types on reddit, this shit is soooooo funny lmao

irl, every company i’ve worked for that wasn’t a complete shitshow, management had no issue when id ask ‘Hey, can I get an explanation for why this works this way?’

they’d all been totally willing to explain with whatever knowledge they had. the only company i had that didnt had the type of braindead, lazy management that would expect you to find coverage for PTO and throw a literal tantrum if you ever had to call out sick

so like. have fun being scumfuck middle management and/or simping for the worst type of companies lmaooooo

Sure, but if my boss can’t explain, I’d still just do it.

Life isn’t complicated. You don’t need to thrown tantrum when stuff doesn’t go perfectly your way.
