Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

    The way they talk to the mods is absolutely infuriating and the “best” part is they they don’t even recognize it themselves.

      Right!? I strait up heard in my head:

      Um, I’m gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9:00, that would be great. Mm-Kay?

      Not trying to be rude but what part specifically rubbed you in the wrong way? I can see it came off as a little formal but nothing that struck out to me.

        It’s specifically the “I’m here to recognize it and acknowledge it and talk about it” part followed up by no recognizing, acknowledging, or talking about anything substantial.

        Also, that “we have had…a time” line is just disingenuous as hell. That’s younger-millenial colloquial, and the social context for it only works when there isn’t a power imbalance. This guy’s a VP at the company that’s been kicking people around: he doesn’t get to take that tone.

      Hey Mr Manager, 11181514@lemmy.world here, some dude on Lemmy. So, we’ve all had a… time away from Reddit lately. And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been idk fine I guess, and begin the “hey man how’s it going?” conversation.
