They made a "joke" in written form "threatening" to not pay people if they didn't submit a picture to the company profile? Smacks of something a thud headed man

They made a "joke" in written form "threatening" to not pay people if they didn't submit a picture to the company profile? Smacks of something a thud headed manager like Michael Scott would do.

- nobodysfool 13y agoI don't think those 'jokes' go over as funny as the people that may make them hope. If everything my manager said was jokingly prefixed with 'you might get fired...' well, I'd consider it annoying and not at all a joke. If it's used sparingly, I'd take it seriously. Either way, I'd certainly feel like I'm walking on eggshells at that company. It would not improve morale at said company. Put it another way - your wife, when you get home always says "You are cheating on me and I know it!" and then plays it off like a joke... this goes on every day... would you find it funny?
- zhemao 13y agoI agree. Even if everybody knows this is a joke, it's still kind of in poor taste for a manager to say this.
