In an ironic twist of fate, a Reddit user, Pickyickyicky, recently shared a story on r/antiwork about their boss. The boss once showed no sympathy for a coworker grieving his dying mother, but he now faces the heartbreak of watching his own mother suffer from a terminal illness. The story has resonated with many, shining a light on workplace empathy and the power dynamics at play.

I was kind of hoping that shithole will die in a bot excrement ingestion spiral, not become primary sources.

Story is confusing. Is the second person with the dying mother the business owner or the second employee who pointed out the bosses assholish behavior?

Let's be honest here... This is a reddit karma farm unless proven otherwise

What the hell is this article? One reddit user said, and then other reddit users also said...
It's literally just recapping a comment chain. How is this worth anything ?

There's no asking the people more questions, no follow-up at all. Just taking comments on reddit at face value.

And of course they used slam in the title.

I'm a Lemming. I don't read the articles. I'm just participating in the comments to feel like I have a social life!

Nah it looks like someone went down the chain and downvoted everyone. Pretty funny.

Or! They have a personal vendetta against you and you should go all out John Wick on them. I personally think that's more fun. I hope you don't have any posts about your dog.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Very interesting, I don't see any downvotes on y'all. A gremlin of federation I guess.

Oh you might be right, actually.

Ibtimes seems to regularly have these low-quality "articles." They might even just be an LLM content farm as a front for ad revenue.

This article smells like ChatGPT.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

That's what writing is now.

The reddit post it's based on is probably also fake.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Nah, it has a direct citation to a LinkedIn post - it must be real!
