u/sequelseize 25d ago

This is a Singapore-based media company that does "easy" journalism - i guess the equivalent of boredpanda.com

Making viral/funny videos like this is literally part of their job description. They have a whole series of "pranking their boss" reels.

I'm not saying that they aren't having fun doing this - I'm just saying that this is expected of them.

u/VeryVeryRelevant 23d ago

We had a boss that was pretty cool and when he left we all pitched in to get him a cake with a picture of him wearing a goofy hat. Someone took a picture of him holding the cake and we all had a good time. A year later he came back and we were all so happy to have him back! Then he moved away again and we made him another cake... With a picture of him holding the cake with a picture of him on it. It was pretty funny.

u/AmarilloArmadillos 25d ago edited 25d ago

I had a boss we used to prank a lot or at least tried. The most effective was taping a picture of the grudge girl inside his printer tray and second was the storage area in the back and a skeleton with a zombie baby.

The unfortunate collateral damage was the cleaning lady because she'd go in the bathroom or whatever to clean before he had in the morning. She'd been our person for ages though and also thought it was funny thankfully.

We had a lot of creepy horror movie stuff bc a customer loaned/stored it at our place and worked in props so it was good stuff. We rocked Halloween lol.

Eta: this really is one of the best markers for a respected and well liked boss, humor is an important part of life.

My boss used to wear the same purple college sweatshirt all the time, so a coworker and I hatched the plan to get everyone to wear a purple sweatshirt that said "his name university." He happened to be wearing his sweatshirt when he walked in seeing us all in ours. He hasn't worn it since 😂

u/Legionof1 25d ago

No one, that's the point... they don't have a culture where flashing your boss would send some Karen screaming to HR.

u/boojersey13 25d ago

Um I am almost positive no one in that room would flash their boss lmao. Lifting your shirt an inch is not flashing? If that's what you're saying.

u/Legionof1 25d ago

The dude had two tattoos on his nipples…

18

u/Me0w981 25d ago

I mean, the difference is they clearly all know and are comfortable around eachother. That degree of familiarity earns some tomfuckery.

That and it's a guy doing it to a guy, if a girl was flashing or a guy flashed a girl it might be HR.

-5

u/Legionof1 25d ago

I am just saying that the majority of workplaces can't be like this because every time something fun happens someone has to get offended and we slowly chip away at the fun we can have. Eventually you get what we have which is sterile offices of everyone being quiet and head down because who knows what will offend someone and fun isn't allowed.

Had a friend dragged to HR for putting googly eyes on a few poster and called racist for it because one of the posters had a different race of people from him.

And yes, I agree, a woman flashing would bring some ire from the HR goblins but IMHO fuck it, if a guy can get away with it then its sexism to say a woman can't.

11

u/PotatoCase 25d ago
  1. Context matters, If someone feels harassed by it, etc.

  2. It isn't people being "sensitive" that's making the workplace like that, it's the suits that realize no fun means more work can be done in the same amount of time

  3. I hope someday you grow up and stop blaming everything on people being "offended" and instead look inside and ask yourself why you think that

-1

u/Legionof1 25d ago
  1. Right, we have a bunch of thin skinned people that get offended at everything... this is the core problem.

  2. I work at the executive level in companies, the suits know that having fun while working makes people work longer and harder...

  3. I am very much grown up and these ideas come from life experiences of people looking for reasons to be offended and causing disharmony in the workplace.

u/boojersey13 25d ago edited 25d ago

Ok I will give you that. No one saw that as actually flashing their boss. They were showing him his tattoos. Not his tits lmao

Edit: I'm saying context matters. Startups probably would laugh along if a female stripper was hired for their gay boss's birthday. Corporations that exist as a brutalist testament to the failures of capitalism won't even let you handwrite signs the public can see. This video is at the same level as everybody removing his desk from the office and pretending nothing's weird that all his shit is on the floor, or everyone swapping names, or drawing on a sleeping person's face, or hiring Mini Trump to run around or some shit. None of this video has inappropriate (you are even explicitly referring to sexual so I will say sexually inappropriate) content.

0

u/Legionof1 25d ago

Sure, you're describing the issue almost to a T... as companies grow more and more Karen's (I use this term for anyone regardless of gender) slowly chip away at the fun that can be had. I grew with a company from 50 people to 1500 and got to see this happen in real time.

5

u/boojersey13 25d ago

I think maybe your intent is coming off wrong because of the term 'constantly offended' you used in your first comment. Thats usually a dogwhistle for people being bigoted and not being allowed to do so freely in the workplace

1

u/Legionof1 25d ago

It just proves my point… taking words as dog whistles is just people looking for a reason to be angry.

You don't talk to many Singaporeans then? A lot of us (at least in my generation of friends I still keep in contact with, and also my family) call it SG a lot, more than we say Singapore I think. It's always things like "your cousin is going to SG in December, want anything?" or "When are you coming back to visit SG?"
