(00:02):
This is not my first recession, so I'm going to explain the
Circuit City grift to you. OK?
If you're under 35, you don't know about this one, OK?
There was a store, a national chain back in the day called
Circuit City. It was just like Best Buy.
It was basically the same store,but instead of their color being
blue, their color was red. All right?
(00:22):
It was called Circuit City. It went out of business.
One day it went out of business and it was right around the time
of the Great Recession. All of my friends had gaps in
employment. They had all these other issues
and they were stuck in entry level positions.
They couldn't move up in anything.
So what did they do? They all got together and they
(00:43):
started covering each other's resumes that each of them had
worked at different positions atCircuit City.
Now he wasn't. Did they ever actually work
there? No.
Were they been? Have they been a busboy for the
last five years? Yes, but now on paper, they were
a floor manager at Circuit City Boom.
They got more money. Oh, actually, I was the director
(01:05):
of procurement for Circuit City Boom.
Nobody could prove otherwise. There was no HR department to
call. There was nothing you could
verify this information against.Nothing.
And the reason why I bring this up is because I saw on Twitter a
man reach out to Elon Musk and tweet at him.
He had to publicly tweet at ElonMusk.
(01:27):
Hey Elon Musk, do I still work for your company?
You shut off access on my computer but no one's ever told
me if I was fired. Elon went goes on to talk more
shit on this man than is legallyintelligent to do.
The man has muscular dystrophy, was is lives in Iceland and had
(01:50):
sold his company to Twitter for a job.
Elon trashes this guy up and down and says you not only do
you not work here, you never didany work.
The man has muscular dystrophy. He can barely move and Elon just
talks all this shit. But through the guy's replies
what I slowly started to realizeis Twitter doesn't have an HR
(02:12):
department. This is a living company
currently that is floating around run by the richest man in
the world that does not have a functional HR department.
So y'all, you know what that means?
It means it's time for all of usto now be former employees of
(02:36):
Twitter. Don't like your job?
You haven't been doing that job.You worked for Twitter for four
years. You were the director of ad
sales. I don't give a shit they're
never going to actually respond to any request for verification
because even Twitter doesn't know who works there.
(02:56):
Any grift yourself?
