I feel this will just breed resentmint
You got a whole brand name lifesaver? Are they hiring? /s
And at one point before the photo was taken, there WAS 2!!
Is there a DevastateMint?
Mostly ResentMint
I’d like a ResentMint
One of my SOs supervisors actually gave gold stars for good work. These were full grown adults, with children/mortgages/cars and, they thought, professional careers. She had worked there over 30 years when this happened.
Moral was quite affected by this “genius idea”!
Every month my boss tells us how big a profit we’re making. I think he thinks it’s morale building. I’m guessing everyone thinks the same thing I do- “then I should be paid better.” My Macbook Air, which I never took anywhere, was dying. I needed a new Mac for work. I suggested a Mac mini. They cost like $500. And I had to literally wait until my Macbook wouldn’t stay on for more than 20 minutes for them to pony up the $500. God I hate it. I’m on FMLA right now though, which gives me time to look elsewhere.
I used to do a lot work with the owner of my old company’s financial advisor. One time, he was sitting there complaining to me about how the owner had to pay like 1.5 million in income taxes that year. I’m like, bruh, cry me a fucking river.
Why mac?
Why would you even ask this question, its clear they use them already…
At the risk of being downvoted, these are the kind of responses I am getting absolutely sick of seeing. Someone just asked “why mac?” And your response is basically “are you dense or stupid?” And they get downvoted while you add nothing but an insult.
People seem to forget that not everyone knows everything, had the same upbringing, or the same experiences.
Everything I read says a lot of the younger generation just knows windows has the biggest OS market share for computers but they don’t even know how to navigate it because they grew up on android, ios, and chrome os so maybe that’s why they are asking why, because they have no idea what benefits a Mac OS machine would have over a Windows OS machine.
I mean hell, I know so many people who don’t realize that Samsung phones run a skinned version of Android so they say they run on Samsung and that it’s not an android when asked.
I bet because the current market share makes it so a lot younger generation doesn’t realize that Mac OS is or was marketed as a superior movie and photo editing OS and that’s why a company may choose Mac over Windows. Maybe the company just lets their employees buy specific Mac and Window machines as all their applicable software works with both OS and OP just had a preference of Mac over Windows. Either way your response adds absolutely nothing but insulting another human.
Sure, maybe it’s a legit question, but it’s equally likely to be a troll who wants to have an argument about computer OSes. If the person who said “why mac?” is truly asking a good-faith question like you are positing, they could have put more than two words of effort into the question so that whoever responds doesn’t have to make a huge guess as to their intentions.
Thank you, yes, exactly. I don’t downvote low effort “but why” questions. but I also don’t answer them.
I am far more tired of putting effort into lengthy, carefully crafted, good-faith responses only to have gotten sucked in by some asshole looking for an argument than I am willing to accept further.
Speaking personally, from the earliest days of Reddit, I have taken unexpected downvotes for a genuine question as code for “keep lurking/look it up” and unless I am stuck on search words it has never failed me. I recommend this for others.
TL;DR: If you sincerely have a question, try putting as much effort into your question as you’d like to receive by way of a response. And if you’re just an argumentative troll (not you, CoggyMcFee, lol) then fuck you. Seriously. With a rusty, tetanus-bearing lawnmower blade. Sideways.
I have been discussing operating systems online for decades. I use macOS and windows daily and have no preference. I no longer regularly run a linux distro unless you count android but I have done in the past.
Every single encounter I have had online where someone says “why mac” or “why would you use a mac” is EXACTLY the same setup for some sort of opinion troll, flame or arguing the toss. In this instance, you can see from the posters history that they are a linux dork.
So, I’m absolutely sick of seeing these flamebait, low effort replies to posts. I’m additionally absolutely sick of people jumping to conclusions about something that clearly isn’t fucking clear and then having the impotent audacity to whine about it
Challenging someone as to why they are using a specific OS, particularly with the lack of further descriptive language or questioning, is obviously not relevant to what OP was discussing. OP was discussing something somewhat distressing for them as well, so even on an empathy basis it wasn’t a particularly helpful or pleasant thing to say.
Because that’s the ecosystem we use for the designers where I work, I hate Windows and there is no way I would convince the IT guy to run Linux. I would have to run the Adobe software through a VM anyway and I couldn’t run our own software.

I get it. I once turned down a job because they used Lotus Notes for email. No, I am not going to spend 3 hours a day for who knows how many years getting punched in the face.
You forgot “seething resentmint”
The disillusionment makes me feel like I need to abandonmint.
Where’s the CEO? I think he needs a disembowelmint.
My company gave everyone a 5% bonus just because we beat the forecasted numbers, but idk a mint looks fine too
Why not both?
This karma whoring. If you’re in a position to create $6m in revenue without variable comp, I don’t know WTF you do for a living. Your deserve a mint.
I’m sure op is part of some giant sales org.
Although the optics are still really bad. Maybe the CEO is dividing that by employee count in his head, but most people are just going to see a sum that would be enough to never work again.
Just part of big mint
Big mint really took big hits, first with the invention of paper money and now by digital banking
OP could MINT their own money with those skills.
You guys get EncourageMint´s?
We got a formula one team.
Ah, this must be Home Depot.
During university I had a part-time job at a business that sells coachings, seminars and online courses to executives and management. It’s disgusting how these people talk and think about their employees.
And it’s disgusting what they learned through coachings. It’s always about how to distract or guild trip employees who dare to ask for more money or who don’t work overtime. They aren’t even shy about it.
It is gross, but I find the honesty a little refreshing.
Half of the time in meetings I wonder if we’re really trying to accomplish what we’re saying we are or if the whole thing is farcical and driven by ulterior motives.
Here is DisappointMINT
There’s no way this is real - nobody would be that stupid, even in a management role, right?
I’ve seen this kind of cheesy thing as party favors for company Christmas parties. It’s a thing, but it’s almost never the ONLY thing. It’s more likely someone in management saw it on Pinterest and had to incorporate somehow to seem like the fun boss. The. Did some other lousy stuff to make it not seem so bad.
Yeah, notice the top. This was taped to something.
Looks like it was taped to their locker, you can make out one more in the background
Was it taped to a $6 million dollar check?
I don’t know man, my sister in law just got made redundant while she and her family were on holiday. They rang her out of the blue while she was abroad to tell her. Who the fuck thinks that’s a good idea?! “Oh hey, you have no job now and just 4 weeks severance. But lemme ruin the last holiday you be able to afford for a long while by telling you now when there absolutely nothing you can do but worry about it”. Someone made that decision instead of waiting just 48 hours. Fuckers.
Isn’t it better she know as soon as the decision is made?
You missed the opportunity to say “ManageMint”!
When I was at Costco, for Member Service Week they literally gave us a rock, like from the gravel outside the office, with the note: “You rock!”
Your resignation letter should have just said “Now I’m about to roll”
I would rather not get anything than get a rock for recognizing my efforts.
It’s literally just effort, gotta throw it away lol
That sucks. Costco is usually decent to their employees. Feel free to make and shame the dumbass who thought that was a good idea.
You could always light the boss’ garbage can on fire with a message saying “You’re on fire!” Or a poo on their desk with a message saying “You’re the shit!”
That may be true for warehouse employees, but the corporate offices are a toxic mess of shitty culture and dated ideas. I’ve never seen a tech department bleed so much underpaid talent to Amazon.
When I quit because they tried to force me back into the office mid-pandemic (August 2020) I had multiple offers for fully remote positions with twice the salary within a few weeks.
But yeah, if you are a cashier at a warehouse or whatever I hear it’s a solid gig.
How many of those broke a window you think?
Surely this is just a joke. Right?
I don’t think its a joke, and don’t call me Shirley.
“And if you work this hard next year, I’ll get another Ferrari.”
