Would you want to beat him up?

I had what turned out to be a three hour job orientation last year. During that three hours the man, or shall I say idiot in charge, instructed all four of us to write down today as our first day on the job. After filing out paperwork and watching videos, the idiot expressed skepticism about my supposed lack of recent work experience, even though he seen my resume stating I had approximately 8 months of experience many years ago. And I pointed out it was all on my resume that he viewed on indeed. He then mentioned something about recent experience of a certain length possibly being needed for insurance purposes. Long story short, he told me insurance would not accept it, so I didn't have a job. I think it was bullshit. And he said he felt bad and would pay me for my time, but never did. I reported him to the labour board. I still haven't been paid. I think I may be overcome by violent urges if I ever cross paths with him again. How bad should I beat him up?

Nope.
Pull up your boot straps and get moving. Life is too short.
Find a better job.
It won't come to you, step up and go get it.

^ Very good advice, indeed.

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1456) 6 months ago

I'm also mad at our pathetic government (labour side) that they didn't do anything and allow pricks like this to pull this shit. And people wonder why I harbor animosity towards employers. But I really do think if I see him ever again and he says something or looks at me the wrong way, the money he didn't pay me, may end up going towards the plastic surgery he may very well end up needing afterwards. There was no apparent reason why he had to snub me like he did if it was infact bullshit the reason he gave me. And if it wasn't, then why did he contact me and express interest in the first place? Despite my violent overtures and animosity, I'm actually very nice to others unless they piss me off. Infact, I've even been told I'm too nice at times and need to be more stern.

It was a year ago - move on.

Companies get away with too much. I don't blame you for wanting to beat someone up. But don't do it. You will go to jail. Just move on. Beat up a punching bag.

Aside from self defense violence is uncalled for.
Just forget the whole deal and move on, we’ve ALL gotten pissed off about work nonsense👍

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1456) 6 months ago

I think that's good advice, thanks. But I suspect I may fail miserably at taking it, if he should ever provoke me again ever so slightly.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77353) 6 months ago

You are welcome.
Just daydream about beating the shit out of every member of Aerosmith and avoid actual assault😄👍

He probably detected that you are a ticking time bomb, and decided to reconsider the offer. You seem to be oblivious to your red flags, but I assure you that other pick up on them.

I also think you suffer from the dunning-Kruger effect.

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1456) 6 months ago

I was still entitled to pay. As far as a ticking time bomb goes, I think many people now are. Oh yeah, sure I could be intimidating at 6'2" 220 lbs of mostly muscle, but he said he was going to pay me and didn't.

oceanlust....You have some weird water fetish?

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1456) 6 months ago

I don't know if it's weird, or a fetish lol, but I do love water. Much to do with water does fascinate me. I love islands, beach's, waterfalls, lakes and rivers. But if I had to say, I definitely am mystified by the oceans and sea's. I don't think I could live well, far from water. When I go on holidays, it's always somewhere near water. I can't get enough of swimming in the ocean almost wherever possible. I say almost, because, I'm picky about the water. I prefer clear clean water. If I had a choice, I would likely take freshwater over sea water. I hate murky water. The only place I've been willing to make an exception to this is in PV, Mexico.

Yes, kick his ass if you ever see him again...👢🍑

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1456) 6 months ago

Okay, of these three, which beat down sounds the best for him?
1)Scrapes and bruises
2)May need to see a doctor
3)Ambulance assisted emergency visit aka, almost dead

[–] SamNoyoun (5827) 6 months ago

I'd go with somewhere between 2 & 3! 👨‍⚕️👊🏥

You sound like you need to be institutionalized.

[–] Kj1oceanlust (1456) 6 months ago

I can see how you get that impression of me. I know the above posts don't sound good. But I'm kind of shy and try to lay low in life often. I don't look for trouble, and don't like making others mad, unless they provoke me. And when others just take liberties on your easy going nature that way, it's pretty aggravating. Sometimes I wonder if being a rather outspoken asshole or even a bully to an extent actually pays off in eliciting more respect from others, as I know of one obnoxious moron who tries doing stand up comedy and imo, sucks at it! When all you can do is heckle people from your audience to try and create humor. And after he did it with me a few times, the last time I through something at him while he was on stage, it was ice. But I got in shit, and he didn't. It's as if they respected him more. I never said anything to the jerk while he was on stage. That's just one instance I'm going by. And of course then there's others like the one I made this thread about specifically.

This is just another lesson. Possibly a lesson in restraint, or patience or forgiveness. Learn from it and move on.
