    Fuck yes let’s go! I am pumped.

    *So what’s the historical use of these? I can only assume in the past it was used sparingly, then went further and further until the current state of “fuck you employees”.

      I asked my dad about it. He said they’ve been around ever since he started taking salaried positions (which would mean roughly since the 70s~80s)

        It’s not whether or not they’ve been around, it’s how they’ve been used, how often they’ve been used, for what positions they’ve been used, how severely they’ve been used. Etc.
