  Thanks, we hate it! 

  No really — stop bragging until you have something real to brag about. This is insufferable behavior. A lot of people felt that way, as you can check out below. Other professionals called this dude out for his rather pitiful post. It's like he's excited to watch his employees on their race to the bottom — is he enjoying this? Does he like seeing his hard workers fixing their bugs on the floor? Such a shame… I hope those workers all find jobs where they're respected more than this. There are, in fact, workspaces that'll give you — gasp! — a chair to sit in! And as a bonus, they might even ban the other employees from microwaving their fish lunches. Truly, gents, there is nowhere to go from here but up, and I hope that this dude's insane post is their much-needed sign to move onto another company. Literally anything would be better than this.

  Even handing them a stack of folding chairs would be a kinder act than having them sit on a hard wooden floor together, shoes off, with the salmon heating in the microwave. As this guy mentions, the fish reheating might be the breaking point for many an employee.

  This person was right --- other companies in the comments were literally dropping links to their job applications!
