This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Be ethical by lying about being ethical!

Look in his face and say 'that was an 8, not a 3'

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You sir are going places...maybe prison or ceo...maybe both

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago

In business school

I think I found your problem.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, he wants to see if anon can be shamed about his lack of ethics.

If he is shameless, CEO behavior.

If he is ashamed, McDonald's behavior.

If you lie about it, then just par for the course and you can be a broker anywhere. Gotta feed out the line to find the narcissistic socios and not the stealthy ones.

Aye same thought. He was testing the group. OP should have been blunt like "IDGAF and was the only one of you honest enough to admit it"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

It wasn't a test about how ethical you are, but how moral you are

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 month ago

Goes to business school, shock that the people are twats. Yeah, they are going to school to learn how to be the owner class, what you expect, empathy?

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"ha ha no judgement (:" proceeds to judge

methinks professor is not very ethical

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Yeah, he said to lie

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'm not actually sure what the point of this greentext is supposed to be.

It's very clearly not a true story. Not particularly funny. Is this just a circle jerk for insulting people who wear a suit and tie to work?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Don't mind the suit and tie, just the unethical practices every single major businesses handles in.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

The right hates colleges. Might be one of those people.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

They're honestly the worst

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anon learned his professor wants you to lie.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

kinda par for the course... literally a business course so....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I woulda told him to practice his preachings

I accidentally ended up at a religious university for medical school and you better believe I've gotten in numerous fights with the law and ethics professor (who, to be fair, is actually a MD/JD) regarding the prescribed conservative religious approach to the ethics discussions. I absolutely did not change his mind, but I did get a bunch of my classmates to start asking questions by putting myself out there and challenging the professor on their BS.

Edit: I should clarify that these fights were on mic in the recorded lectures, so there's a hard record of my arguing with him.

religious university

medical school

Alright class, now that we've removed the patient's lungs, we're gonna pray he gets better. Yes, I see a raised hand in the back row?

Yes, sorry - doesn't he need a lung to survive?

Right, good catch. We're first going to pray he grows a lung. Yes, you with the notebook?

Who will be doing the closing?

That'll be sister Jane. Sister, 12 "hail Marys" and a closing prayer, please. Class dismissed.

And then I guess y'all watch as the man flatlines while the nuns go "please give this one some sutures God, I promise I'll be good from now on" and "God, if ever you were going to grow organs, please, now's the time. The man can't breathe. It's not his fault"

Sounds like a good time. Do they give degrees or do you need to pray to get hired?

I accidentally ended up at a religious university for medical school

Oh, yeah, we've all been there.

Also, religion and medicine don't seem like things that should mix. They are bringing preconceived notions to the table that are not supposed by logic, that seems dangerous in the medical setting

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Thankfully, the extent of the religion in the education is in the ethics discussions and strong recommendations to discuss spirituality and religion with your patients because faith communities are "very important". The religion does not make it into any of the actual medicine or science.

religion and medicine don’t seem like things that should mix

I mean I get where you're coming from, but in places that don't have a secular medical establishment it's usually spiritual practitioners that fill the gap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

My concern is that in my experience religious dogma and anti-vaxism tend to go hand in hand.

Also the whole abortion debate which is really something that should even be a debate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm guessing the most important lesson in such a school is to not get upset when morons start praising God almighty after you saved their loved one in a day long operation or something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You know, I'd be fine with it if it was God who got the credit as long as he also got the blame, but when I do something good and they start thanking God up and down, while when I make a decision they don't like they start fuming that I am the arbiter of this darkness...

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Counter with, "this isn't a job interview" or "I'm vying for a job in the oil and gas industry".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Should have just said they were going to become a politician.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

The professor

[–] [email protected] 90 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Anon had a massive dunk on his professor lined up.

"You said there would be no judgement and said that people should lie rather than put an accurate score on an ethics survey. Wouldn't that make your score lower than 36 then?"

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago

The professor probably would have responded that his response was another part of the lesson: don't trust those above you in a business setting.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess the answer would be "but I have a job already"...

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Yeah, and judging by how you immediately put down one of your students I suspect you lied to get it."

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

"Now you're getting it kid."

[–] [email protected] 135 points 1 month ago (1 children)

36 seems like an accurate score for someone going to Business School.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 month ago

For the most ethical of people going to business school. Everyone else lied.
