And I mean like Cartoon pop teleport sound effect "Huh? What happened to my job?"
(American version) Hand out union flyers in the break room.
As an American, how does this work in other countries?
you get the flyers from the company. unless its a non-union site, in which case you will usually have to climb over the picket line to get in. the one at tesla is coming up on 15 months now, the union have signalled that they have the funds to keep the strike going while paying every worker 125% salary for another... 200 years.
(UK) Last time I started in a unioned job the company (voluntarily?) told me about it during my induction, there were flyers in the break room, a poster in the break room with a named representative on my floor (a regular worker like me, it was voluntary) and official rep who I could call. Maybe once or twice a year the union did a presentation in a meeting room at the office and you could could take the hour (unpaid) to go and watch, after which you were encouraged to sign up. Semi regular emails through the year to my company email address about pay and bonus negotiation etc.
Simple: you don't fuck with unions. They are far more powerful in Germany. And Germany is the lower end even. 😅
Worked in the UK, when I started my job I was given lots of hr forms, contract, info about benefits and leaflets for each of the two main unions that covered our workplace. If there was ever any issues, our line managers would remind us of our right to have a union rep present for meetings with management.
Definitely talking about unions if you're in the US. I single-handedly saved the company I worked for from a $10M+ data breach, got top performance reviews, and then got screamed at by my boss after I sent an article to a coworker about how UPS drivers had gotten massive raises by unionizing. I was fired a month later for "unprofessional conduct" with zero examples given and despite the protests of the rest of the team I worked with.
Yeah, my work has an anti-union section of the employee handbook. It says they are proud to provide such good benefits that a union isn't needed (definitely not true). And how we need to talk to HR first if we ever feel like our working conditions would warrant one. I suspect you wouldn't be allowed back to your desk if you did that.
Support Palestinian liberation in any meaningful way. 😔
Maybe just keep politics out of work?
I can't stand anyone bringing up anything political at work - regardless of which "side". It's irrelevant and a distraction - I got shit to do.
So if you got shitcanned for it, you'll get zero sympathy from me.
People that insist on keeping politics out of the workplace are the exact same type of people that work for less money than their peers for the military industrial complex, making missiles that turn brown people into hamburger. I find that they also tend to universally hold this grind-culture delusion that rich people are innately better people that earned their wealth and the poor are lazy, stupid scum that deserve to be exterminated and oppressed at every turn.
Politics is humanity.
If you actively encourage others to willingly eschew their freedom of speech or unquestioningly do work that results in the violent murder of innocent strangers without so much as a twinge of guilt in your mind, you are a scab with absolutely no spine and your opinion means jack shit to me.
A lot of times you can't avoid bringing up politics. For example, let's say you're a person whose rights are under attack in the US, like a trans person. Talking about the threats to your existence and how you're worried that it'll become legal to discriminate against you is "politics", so you're stuck in the position of "let these attacks happen and don't speak up about it, thus ensuring things get worse" or speak up and risk your job.
With many subjects, I agree. But there are other subjects that have been politicized, which really shouldn’t have been. Someone’s sexual orientation shouldn’t be a matter of political debate. If a gay guy mentions their husband, that’s not “bringing up politics”, but many conservatives will treat it as such. I’ve heard all of the “shoving it in my face” comments just because someone dared to mention their partner when asked how their weekend was. In reality, that person is simply existing, and peoples’ existence should never be a matter of political debate.
Disagree in any shape or form with the department head it seems by recent events
All our took for me was being too highly paid, I think. Lay offs came and I went. Literally about to present the closing slides for the current phase of a massive project. Was so sure I was safe because of said critical project and was well regarded on my team. (I brought cookies even!) Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. I was, however, the highest paid in my department.
What does iskaied mean
Isekai, Japanese for different world, is a genre of media usually about someone being teleported from the mundane world to a fantastical one.
And in this instance I mean the word jokingly, like instant teleported to "not having a job land"
Bitcoin miner on the computers without permission. (Saw it happen once.)
I know someone who was fired after responding to a Slack message with an emoji that was interpreted as critical of the CEO of the company, lol. The emoji wasn't offensive or anything, it was just showing support for the message which was if I remember correctly was jokingly criticizing the CEO. I think the employee took up a legal battle after that.
I think it depends on the job and the culture you are in, how replaceable you are, etc. as to how to be instantly fired. I know people who have made mistakes in their job that cost the company lots of money and they weren't fired. I know people who watched TV all day in the open office environment in full view and who weren't fired.

Yeah, but those things are not blows to the CEOs fragile ego like a good old misunderstanding can be.
Most any job I’ve ever had: drop a log on the boss’s desk
Two jobs ago: I worked at a teapot factory. If you walked the length of the plant floor and hit the emergency stop on each production line, that would be a good way to disappear quickly.
Leave your porn on a network drive 5 times.
Though, surprisingly, watching porn on the plant computer isn't.
I know of a professor who did this with CP. Good news is he's in jail.
I work in a highly secured facility so... there's a LOT I could do to get instantly fired. The fastest would probably be trying to get through security with a weapon.
Me: Hey guys, I plugged in this wifi AP to the network so we can work and walk about.
People: uhh, what brand is it?
Me: Huawei, it was super cheap from a dude in the parking lot. Here is the ........... Why am I being harries away be security?
Pissing in the coffee machine your boss uses, in front of a security camera.
Guy disappeared so quick, the CEO interrupted our daily IT stand-up meeting to disable his account and door chip.
Support human life's and care about others. Usually will get you fired in America really fast.
In the sense of one day you're there, the other day you're not, may I suggest not realising that you're not looking after your mental health, having a total meltdown and finding yourself walking erratically up the road away from the place in a roughly homeward direction, followed by not being OK ever since?
Actually, no, I take that back. I suggest doing the polar opposite of that. Once that particular Prince Rupert's drop pops, it's an impossible task to put it back together again.
Also, when back looking at it, you'd begin to realise that the warning signs were there all along, so maybe everything wasn't so sudden, or isekai, as you put it, at all.
Unrelated: I can't not hear "he's a guy" when I hear "isekai".
At my last job, one of the presales guys was terminated instantly when he tried to expense a client meeting at a strip club.
Start telling everyone I interact with what I really think about them.
If some of the people I work with knew how little time I spend thinking about them, some egos would be severely hurt.
Go postal.
For my current job, it takes a lot to be fired.
Tagging a wall would probably do it
