I’ve seen the original post a few times but never the follow up, thank you for including that.
Neither had I! I assumed it was a fake interaction that I was happy to take at face value because it’s entertaining - but it looks like it’s real. There’s one more screenshot of people offering him jobs in his DMs, but it’s not that interesting.
Same here. That follow up actually made this go from good entertainment to fucking amazing.
Far out. I’ve been in a Trainwreck Team as a contractor and I didn’t bother answering to the BS the manager came up with, which ended in my contract not being renewed (thankfully).
I can’t imagine how fed up this guy must have been to actually state “don’t call me ever again”.

My favorite way of doing that was asking them when I could expect HR to send me the new employee paperwork so I can sign onto the health insurance. Because if they’re going to treat a contractor like an employee, the least they could do is offer employee benefits. And if a manager thinks they’re about to get called into HR to explain why they hired an additional employee without permission, you’d be surprised how quickly their attitude changes.
I remember reading the original of these without the tagline up top. The guys name was Abs Delfuego (I’m not making this up, you can google him). He posted by omegaweapon on Reddit. He had a neighbor with a disabled son, and Abs made an arcade machine for him.
His wife had died a couple years prior, and he started a business making arcade cabinets and occasionally maki no custom machines for charities. After he lost his wife he just kinda started not caring about being polite. If anybody got uppity with him, he’d cancel the contract. Just flat out, here’s your money, I’m done.
There were a lot of unhappy bosses calling gabs to apologize. Also a lot of people threatening to sue. I wonder what happened to him.
Edit: Apparently I can’t read, and this wasn’t Abs. I could swear I read something similar from Abs, but as the first line calls the person Caleb, I was mistaken.
I remember the arcades ! so that’s the same guy ! what a madlad
No it’s not the same guy, this one is some dude named Caleb
Oof. You’re right. I can’t believe I missed that in the image lol. I did think that was one of his, as I vaguely remember something similar.
I know exactly who you’re talking about. Real great guy did a lot for charities. Not a big deal. 🙂 He had a lot like that you work with entitled people a lot when you’re on your own boss.
Thanks for helping me read
That’s delightful!

I deleted this comment earlier because name calling/insults are against lemmys rules. I replied to your comment explaining why though, I didn’t just delete it out of the blue. And although I deleted it on the website, I can still see it on the Avelon app with a different mod account so who knows wtf is going on. Still, please don’t insult people, even if you censor your insult.
