    My GF is a pool cleaner and once got written up for sending a customer a picture of dead pigeons that were in their yard.

    The customer called the office screaming that she sent the pictures “to be mean.”

    Turns out these people had pest control out on their property to “remove” all the frogs because the frogs were “keeping them awake at night”, and the birds took the bait instead.

    Yes, these folks were filthy rich and entitled.

      What does “written up” mean?

      Because our write ups are just incident reports. Like, if a shitty Karen went nuclear on a staff member, we do create a incident report. But anybody reading this will absolutely go, “fucking Karen strikes again” and it absolutely won’t reflect badly on the employee.

        Usually it means a mark on your work record, pretty much like getting an F on a paper or something.

        Just paperwork so the whales in the office feel like they do something.

        It means nothing when you live in a “at will” employment jurisdiction.

        In the past, (or in a union contract) employers had to prove they had “just cause” to fire you. This would be documentation of cause.
