'You’re manifesting my business's failure': Dispiteous boss accuses employee of "manifesting failure" of her business

Get your Tarot cards out and crystals ready cause we're out here trying to manifest the failure of every terrible boss we've ever had. Like, can you imagine getting called into a meeting with HR just because your "vibes" were off? Like, heck, Erin, so what if I was in the water closet building a voodoo doll out of the CEO's socks and toenail clippings… Just leave me be.

  • Try or not, in a way, we're all manifesting something… I "manifested" two tacos and a side of sweet, sweet guacamole not thirty minutes ago. But, what I've recently consumed isn't really the point here; we're more concerned about accusations of the manifestation of a business's failure being thrown around like the Salem witch trials. In fact, it would be pretty easy to suppose that this boss would be one of the people next to the dry kindling with a torch in hand just because they're jealous, hateful, and—consequently—fearful of the freedoms of young women.

  • The point is, just because you wish for something doesn't mean it's going to happen. What any of us wouldn't give to be able to think about and wish for the failure of our boss's business and then watch it unfold in real-time simply because our thoughts had “manifested” it. Unfortunately, that's not how these things tend to work, and even the most hateful and incompetent bosses sometimes fail or swindle their way to success.

    Posted by u/Dr_Squirtle1 My fiancé got fired for "manifesting failure" So, my fiancé worked at a bridal shop. She had an appointment set up at the end of the day and the person ended up not showing up. She jokingly said "I said I doubt she shows up so I must've manifested this" Her co-worker ran off to tell the boss, boss pulled her aside and said "you can go home"

    Omgiloveher "We're gonna have to let you go, your vibe is off" 9.0k 3V1LB4RD Share I actually know someone who was let go at a local ice cream shop because the store owners (a young 22 y/o couple) told him his vibes didn't fit with the store. According to my roommate who worked there at the time, they acknowledged that it wasn't his work ethic or his attitude. Just his vibes Imao. 1.7k Share

    Hold MyBeerPleeze On a serous note, this sounds like a blessing in disguise (or maybe not even in disguise). On a less serous note, this sounds like an opportunity. Your fiancé can inform her prior boss that her ability to manifest things is totally independent of employment relationships. And that moving forward: For $100/mo she will stop manifesting failure For $300/mo she will actually manifest success at the standard level For $500/mo she will manifest premium level success 92 Share ●●●

    20 Anhedonia133. She might be able to get unemployment depending on where you are. The state is the one who decides who gets it or not and someone else not showing up is not her fault. I'd imagine people miss those appointments because they have a million things going on while planning a wedding. 31 Share C
