    Somebody is going to get steamrolled by Icelandic labor laws. And it’s not going to be the employee.

    Edit: like this is seriously illegal in Iceland. Also, if you’re going to be a corrupt and immoral business owner (evil really in this case), the number one thing you DON’T do is broadcast your nefarious intentions over a recordable medium.

      Huge balls to write this in reproducible text in a civilised country with labour laws.

        A lot of times immigrants to Iceland in low paying jobs like this do not understand their rights. Wouldn’t surprise me if this guy has gotten away with it before. Possibly more than once.

        Iceland isn’t perfect. If a business wants to get rid of someone, they’ll find a way to do it. But it is illegal to prevent someone from joining a union, or issue threats like this. Companies over a certain size (50+ I think?) are actually required to have a union representative.

          Yeah it happens all the time, but people usually give these messages verbally

        I can tell he’s the kind of man who is very proud to be habitually reckless and cruel.

      I was absolutely sure this was some USA-as-usual post on lemmy. How insane do you have to be to write something like that in a country with working labor laws?

      I wanna see the prosecutors face, tbh.

        Even in the US this wouldn’t fly. But the fact it’s in any other developed nation other than the US, double yikes.

    You love to see someone incriminate themselves while trying to suppress labor rights.

    Thanks for leaving this illegal threat in writing. I suggest you look for a new job.

      I wish this were how the world worked. But you can’t legalism your way through a union drive. At the end of the day, you need your coworkers to have your back.

      I would expect that the union lawyer won’t mind that evidence is served on a silver platter like this.

          I heard about a guy who did that with a .22, it was way worse than you’d expect. Think he got some compartment problem or something where the wound channel would clog in a bad way and he’d have to massage/push it out himself, at home, in a bathtub.

            people think ‘oh it’s only a .22’ lol. point blank, that bullet’s got places to go and bones to crack on the way.

              Yeah, it’s not exactly an air rifle.

              The bullet is about that size, but the difference is that it’s going through.

            I was told that a .22 can be worse than just getting shot with a high caliber because the .22 isn’t likely to make it through bone, so it just ricochets around inside you for a bit instead of passing right through.

                  I’m not sure why you’d consider it large either, it fits trivially in the palm of your hand.

                  Are you maybe imagining that the whole cartridge would be fired? because it’s only the very end bit that actually gets shot, the rest of it is just to hold gunpowder and the bullet in place inside the gun.
                  The actual bullet itself is about the size of a pea, i think.

              I’m Norwegian. I spent about a year shooting .22s at paper. Everyone calls it a .22 as far as I’ve seen.

                I call it a weapon. They’re all the same to me. Not that there’s anything wrong with shooting as a hobby, but they’re all dangerous no matter which type of gun.

                  I wish you’d just stop it after the “I don’t speak American” nonsense. You sound like the type who’d think a scope makes the bullet go farther.

                  Besides, you’re repeating a point that was obvious from my retelling of the. 22 through the leg story.

                  Do you need me to remind you that cars go fast and cats say meow?

    This reeks of the villain monologuing their plan while the hero is helplessly tied to the train tracks. But also Facebook living it for posterity lmao
