But the boxes were taken to the dumpster, yes? With time saved, even? Someone in a managerial position would rather hire, train, and pay a devoted garbage person instead of three adorably unpaid raccoons?
I see no problems
Until the raccoons unionize and demand healthcare coverage instead of just table scraps.
Darcy the human wants healthcare. Trained trash pandas want apples. Why are we even discussing this?
The manager is clearly 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat who don’t want competition
is this a Lemmy post of an Instagram post of a Reddit post?
Yes, it’s very meta.
The internet is terribly inbread and I love it
It’s very doughy indeed.
This proofs that everything is just a repost of a repost of a repost.
It’s been that way basically forever. I’m old enough to remember YTMNDs showing up on Ebaumsworld.
You missed the pun train there champ… follow the breadcrumbs.
Digging it
Yeah, I thought it might have been a little half-baked. At yeast a few people got it.
I was there, too, but it didn’t bother me as much when I was fresh out the oven. Maybe now that I’ve gotten old and crusty my cynicism just makes all the reposts seem a little stale.
You sound like you knead to find the lost fluff of your life
what are you doing step site?
Oh, just checking my favorite step site’s cookies
I was going to say *inbred, but then I saw your username and realised you said what you meant.
Threads too?!
We have to go deeper. Im posting this to 4chan.
It’s gonna end up on Facebook next
Not Trash Pandas. Waste Management Pandas.
Waste Management Engineers= Waste Management Pandas
Waste Management(Engineers) /Waste Management=Waste Management(Pandas) /Waste ManagementEngineers = Pandas

Checks out.
If someone can successfully train racoons to do their job I’d probably give them a raise and some deodorant
Under capitalism they would be fired and the raccoons made to replace them for no pay.
No joke there are tons of stories of people writing programs to automate their job, management finding out, and basically getting fired while the company appropriates their automation code, since from their profit chasing perspective why should they pay someone if they can just take the code they wrote which will do the same thing for free?
Which is why you always implement a dead man’s switch that you can turn off if you leave the job amicably. And never leave your source code behind if you can avoid it.
The dead man switch at one of my last places was the companies incompetence and lack of forethought.
When I left, I told them that the files for their system that I designed, built, and maintained was on the laptop I was returning to them.
They wiped it.
They also had zero clue how to use the programs I had nor any other aspect of that system so they really shot themselves in the foot then shot their other one to test of the first one hurt
Then they’ll get their lawyers involved to fuck you over. Since you probably coded it on company time with company equipment, they own everything and can sue you if you put booby traps in it. Hell there have been contracts in tech that say that everything you code while employed, regardless of whether it’s related to the business or not, they can claim, whether that extent is enforcible is another question but just the mere fact that plenty of companies are brazen enough to try that shit speaks for how much they expect to get away with, and they’re probably right.
Individuals rarely win against businesses as a design feature of capitalist society.
Well then at the very least do what I did: put in the code an Easter Egg that wishes you a happy birthday on your birthday in the copyright blurb at the bottom of the intranet page.
Lol you think source code you write at work is yours to take with you?
If you aren’t in a dev job it would be incredibly easy to prevent the source code from falling into company hands.
Until they sick their lawyers on you
It is hard to get source code even from devs employed as devs in most of the world, getting source code from average office plankton is outright impossible.
Now you’re just making stuff up lmao.
The premise of this thread is someone writing code that automates them out of their own job. Even the most incompetent company is going to make sure they have that code before firing the author.
Not paid as programmer = GTFO from my source code
Look if you can get Raccoons to do your work for you, it should be an instant promotion to manager.
acivement unlocked: Manager of Racoons
Unfortunately, the promotion to raccoon manager does not come with a salary bump.
The entire premise is fake, but that stupid fake manager is still driving up my blood pressure.
Is noone going to comment on how someone trained a bunch of animals to help with cleaning? They were more than an employee, they were a Disney Princess!
Or Fluttershy:
If the job is done, where is the problem?
Miserer should put people into misery. Miserers are not happy when someone is not miserable.
Sounds like staff is gonna train the racoons
You get work done for you, they get trash. Win/win
I don’t see an issue here. 🤷
Just looks like working smarter, not harder to me.
We had a raccoon living in our attic. I would have liked to train it to take the trash to the curb, but instead it just peed on the floor until a stain came through to the other side.
I hope he was paying those raccoons a fair wage! outsourced work is often done in unethical ways!
In my old condo you didn’t really put the trash bag in the dumpster. The raccoons were waiting on the dumpster and you’d hand the bag to them basically.
How difficult would it be to teach raccoons to manage IT infrastructure?
Asking for a friend.
