- mk89 5y agoHow is it funny that your manager tells you as a joke that he is gonna fire you? The truth it: neither of them is a joke. It's just pure BS that comes either out of sheer and innocent incompetence or stupidity.
- roflc0ptic 5y agoI didn't say it was funny. I also think joking about firing people 1. isn't funny, and 2. risks freaking people out. A good rule of thumb is "don't make gambles where the best-case scenario is that nothing bad happens."
- mk89 5y agoI think I misread your comment :) I think that another way to prevent it is by asking yourself if the other person will find it funny. That's a general advice not just specific to firing/leaving a company.
