      His boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss.

      Imagine if you, as a retail employee, got to yell at the COO of the company to shut the fuck up and stop being a disrespectful shit during a meeting.

      Oh god the feeling of adrenaline plus euphoria would be enough to knock me out…

        My CEO is well known for hating people sitting down in the office, even though sometimes it’s needed. I went into the office to retrieve something and he tried to catch me sitting, I guess. Accidentally hit him with the door leaving.

      Guarantee his promotions and such will be “mysteriously” denied, and any subjective performance reviews will similarly “mysteriously” state he’s just not quite meeting expectations any more.

      Source: My own career was stymied and then extinguished for reasons “unrelated” to my refusals to follow illegal orders as a cop.

        “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal to Army Specialist Thomas Iglesias, the sentinel who loudly reprimanded Hegseth and his entourage for laughing and talking at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during Veterans Day events.”

        His leadership could give him a medal now. As long as they keep it on the low end, which is all this deserves anyways.

      While Hegseth seems a piece of trash human in general, that’s at least genuinely a good move.

        The sad thing is, the medal could either be cover for mysteriously denying the soldier promotions, could be given out of genuine respect for the soldier showing Kegsbreath that his idea of “manly men” still exists in this world, or a sign of defeat from Kegsbreath.

            @Hatchepsut@piefed.social @zoloftt@lemmy.world Yup, that’s what’s happening here!

            I like Mbin, though I’m still figuring out parts of it. It’s a sort weird hybrid of Mastodon and Lemmy and I’m not quite sure how the boosting and mentioning stuff works—that is, how they function. Do people need to follow me to see my boosts? Why does it @ people when I reply to them? Do I need to keep those for the OC to see my reply? But 🤷

          Without confirming it myself, that immediately signals to me that they’re gonna start doing outrage moments and then flipping the outrage into micro wins.

          Edit: 1000x more than they already fucking do. I hope all these bastards taste nothing but napalm when they rot in hell, truthfully.

        The tomb has been guarded continuously since 1948, even during rain and snow. I know it’s an honor to guard it, but to me that seems like punishment.

          It’s more than a mere honor. Look up some videos about how those guards live and train. It’s a big deal to be chosen for that role.

          The entire way we treat our armed servicemen is quite literally all a way to subjugate them into being docile little bitches for their managers, which is why we were easily couped by the most idiotic Russian leader of all time

      Pete Kegsbreath and his staff were being disrespectful at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and got barked at by a sentinel.

        I would say ”disrespectful” is a polite way to put their behavior.

        Disrespectful is breaking silence for anything short of a medical emergency.

        The shrill laughing in front of the tomb seemed to be the final straw for the guard, and that was after posing for photos and talking.
