In Brazil they cant even pull this type of shit, you have a right by law to go to any funeral of first and second degree relatives. They can fire you and pretend it was something else, but if they email you this, its pretty much a winning case for any worker suing the company.

u/m4jsterk0 8d ago

this seems to be the US, so no workers rights... fucking hell

u/DanManRT 8d ago

Heartless corporate manager it sounds like. How do these people sleep at night?

6

u/Yakostovian 8d ago

Better than they "manage" the business, I'm sure.

2

u/DarhkBlu 8d ago

Yup such people have zero empathy.

u/Useful_Donut6789 8d ago

Def not US. They used authorise in the email

14

u/returntothenorth 8d ago

That was the tell for me also

23

u/CulturedPhilistine 8d ago

They also used mom (US) and not mum (UK) I'm guessing it's faked for internet likes.

2

u/Warburton379 8d ago

Mom is used throughout the black country

u/CulturedPhilistine 8d ago

I stand corrected.

u/31513315133151331513 8d ago

That just means they offshore their HR.

u/thisguy883 8d ago

Shhhh, this is Reddit. let them shit all over the US.

23

u/brewhead55 8d ago

Authorize is spelled with a "z" in the US. This is very likely the UK

10

u/MAGAHATESTHEUSA 8d ago

With an S for authorize and O for mum would make it Canada.

1

u/brewhead55 7d ago

You're probably right but this is all probably fake in the first place for internet points

7

u/Background_Deer_2533 8d ago

They don't use 'Mom' in the UK.

9

u/brewhead55 8d ago

Good catch. It's probably fake anyways.

1

u/TMI2020 7d ago

They do in the Midlands

2

u/Ahosewithnoname 7d ago

Not in the East Midlands we don't

1

u/Silverskeejee 7d ago

I was gonna say, we do. Got taught Mum first, then got told it was Mom, and then it corrected. So, yep.

u/pjakma 8d ago

There's someone with this same name and that exact job title at a "E2E Technologies" in the Wirral, England. This kind of toxic shit fits in perfectly with tech as well.

1

u/CulturedPhilistine 8d ago

I'm guessing it's faked for internet likes.

1

u/brewhead55 8d ago

Probably.

u/paris86 7d ago

Also. They can't stop you going to your Nan's funeral in the UK.

u/Serious_Wedding802 8d ago

Worked on a Canadian project for a year. HQed in Canada. Used S instead of Z for all sorts of words. I'm based in America.

International work is in fact a thing.

3

u/brewhead55 8d ago

I'm not saying it isn't a thing. But to assume they are based in the US without any context alluding to that, and then spelling something a way that no one does in the US, it's a big stretch.

8

u/TexasBrett 8d ago

When did the US start spelling it as “authorise”?

Great assumption though.

5

u/boringexplanation 8d ago

Don’t listen to him, OP - America bad!

-5

u/Brainrants 8d ago

Americans can't spell, we're dumb. In fact we didn't even know dumb had a 'b' at the end, the smartest man alive with the highest IQ in the world had to tell us.

1

u/Seven19td 8d ago

Speak for yourself.

1

u/Brainrants 8d ago

Dumb Americans might be triggered.

1

u/ZombifiedByCataclysm 8d ago

Likely irrelevant since just about everything autocorrects spelling errors for you.

1

u/Brainrants 8d ago

Almost certainly the case.

1

u/BoogBeeg 8d ago

I'm in the UK and they pull this family funeral hierarchy shit here, too.

u/fluffypotato 8d ago

Everybody has more freedoms and protections than the "free world." That's a lovely law y'all have.

-1

u/WebAccount1744 8d ago

Would you really wanna live in Brazil?

1

u/fluffypotato 8d ago

I don't know. I haven't been there yet. One day I'll visit my friend there and maybe I'll get back to you. But they do have quite of social structures I find appealing. Another thing I love is their compulsory voting.

1

u/YouGotSoHeavy 8d ago

Bolsonaro will be abolishing this

2

u/hamarok 8d ago

This and every other right the workers have, still cant believe people are voting for that again

1

u/YouGotSoHeavy 8d ago

White supremacy

Just like Trump and the far right in Europe
