Wonder what kind of car it is and year.

lol was it worth it? getting a degree and a "cushy" office job?

>>16941963
Th-this can't be real, can it?

Actually, I'll be fair. Maybe anon's car looks like he's been living in it. post car op

>>16941963
Just say it’s a financial problem and make those fags give you a raise or a new car. If they fire you because of your car just sue them assuming you are in America.

If this is bait, you are a faggot.

However, if you are serious, document and log all conversations you have in regards to this matter. You may not be able to record a conversation on your phone, but you can write down the details after the fact. If they so much as hint that they will write you up/discipline you for this, prepare to lawyer the fuck up. If there's a wrongful termination from this you can seriously hit them back.

I retract this if it turns out he's driving some kind of black smoke billowing deathtrap with bald tires and no brake pads left

why not use this opportunity to get a raise?

It's a 2005 Mercury Milan similar to pic related.. there aren't even dents or scratches or rust or anything...

It's just the only non-luxury car in a sea of 2014+ BMWs, Mercs, and Porsches that all the other debt wagies drive. I'm not even in a client-facing role where the car matters. I'm an IT manager.

I'm genuinely curious if there is some law that protects OP from this. Holy fuck

>>16942031
Wtf? That thing is clean as fuck. I was picturing you in some mid 90's maroon japanese shitbox with peeling paint and faded plastic hubcaps

>>16941963

Haha, no fucking way that's real or legitimate..

>>16942014
This ... I would even consult am employment attorney pre emptively

Respond with:

I view my vehicle solely as a tool for transportation to and from work. It is cheaper than public transportation and ride sharing. If you'd prefer to allot me a budget specifically for my transportation to and from work, I am happy to use those additional funds however you feel appropriate; however, I do not otherwise see why my means of transportation to and from work has any relevance to my actual work.

>>16941963
Car shaming? This has a lawsuit written all over it.

This is bait.

My Uncle worked for a company and made millions of dollars per year and continued to drive a shitbox Buick Lumina until it broke down and no one demanded anything different. And this was a largely known corporate company. OP is being a fag. My uncle's car made this one look like a rolls royce.

My uncle is now retired a drives a high end lexus sedan, but he is very financially wise and also owns various properties in exclusive areas like Laguna Nigel, CA, Naples, FL, Colts Neck, NJ, etc. He is a very wealthy man and no one ever gave him shit for driving a piece of shit car.

So I genuinely no longer believe this thread.

>>16941963

"My Muslim faith prohibits buying anything with credit and prohibits wastefulness, so I am required by my religion to use my car as long as it retains its functionality. You might as well have told me to eat bacon. I will contact (name of employment lawyer) about this matter just in case you pursue this further."

>>16942101
It's real but OP stole it from reddit

>>16942101
>Naples FL
I live near there. total shithole

This shit infuriates me. If you're in an work at will state you basically will be fired anyway.

Buffet brags about his ability to scrimp and save, how he's driven the same car for a billion years or whatever, meanwhile braindead wagies are forced to get a new car or be socially, and in this case financially, isolated for their choice of spending. People are far too willing to trade their freedoms for comforts, and every single rich sociopath to ever have fucking lived thinks they are an absolute genius for figuring this out and molesting people's free will because of it. Absolutely disgusting.

The braindead solution is take away at will employment and make shit like this illegal. As per usual though the big brain response is get rid of the government entirely.

>my truck and i were born only a couple years apart and it runs just fine

>>16942144
It will do no good. If you didn't actually purchase a new car because of it there is nothing you can do. You could get extremely lucky and troll them into firing you on the spot explicitly stating it's because you didn't buy a new car. More then likely however, they will wait 2-3 months, meanwhile piling on the work and isolating you, and then fire you for something unrelated.

>>16942125
Yes, my Uncle's $2.5M home in Grey Oakes and three condos in Park Shore worth in excess of $8M with an extremely high demand for buyers are definitely shitholes.

If you think Naples, FL is a shithole, you're either A) A poor piece of shit that lives in Golden Gate, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, or some other shithole surrounding Naples or
B) Do not understand the unimaginable amount of capital that is transacted via 1031 in that area. There's a reason 3410x has consistently been an unimaginable hotbed for real estate money making.

I honestly can't even level with you because I know you come from a perspective of poverty so there is no point in explaining to you how unique of a place Naples, FL is for making enormous sums of money with very little tax in the US.

>>16942126
Nice you just got OPs jimmy’s excited taking the b8 m8

>>16942101
Nah, it's probably real. In any sort of actual finance job in america, anything that requires some series exams, you will basically have to purchase a bmw or mercedes within a few months. It's an unspoken agreement. The only people I've ever seen driving into work with anything worth less than 60k is the janitorial staff, juniors, and call center employees.

>>16942222
Checked. I'd drive a cool old classic car just to fuck with them if I was ever in that situation

>>16942189
Even if this specific one is not real I can assure you there are people who have either received a letter just like this or have had this conversation with their boss very recently.

>>16942031

>>16942231
If it was expensive they probably wouldn't mind. If it's better than the bosses car though you're probably gone. If it's a shitty and cheap 90's mustang, you're gone. Of course being "gone" is you not dutifully fulfilling your work responsibilities, it's never because your car was not good enough. Image is basically all these places have though, so they take it very seriously. How does a boomer know an insurance company is good? Because if their employees are all driving foreign they clearly don't lose money, right.

>>16942120
Oh, so we’re responding to stupid Reddit bait. I never thought I’d say this, but...OP is a faggot.

>>16942112
This would work, inshallah.

>>16941963

Dear Normie,

Thank you reaching out to me with your concern.

I value my money, and like to get the most out of my investments instead of liberally spending money on flashy new things.

I take my cue from Warren Buffet, one of the world's wealthiest investors, who drove the same, modest 1972 Ford LTD wagon for DECADES until it simply fell apart; at that point, he bought a very affordable Honda Civic.*

>* you're gonna have to check these facts, op

Anyway, that's pretty much how I see this. I manage my money carefully, saving & investing all that I can. I value substance over flash, function over form, and liquid assets over depreciating physical assets.

Fear not: although my vehicle doesn't look like much, I maintain it properly. If you are concerned that it may break down, forcing me to be late to work (or miss work entirely), you have nothing to worry about: that's what Uber is for.

If you are concerned that the "cheap" car I drive makes our company look bad, then I suggest you provide me with a company car free of charge as the price you pay for maintaining a good public image... either that, or double my pay, and I'll buy a fucking lambo. IDGAF.

In closing, fuck niggers, gas the kikes, and jannies can go to hell. You're too much of a goddamned normie to understand. The car you drive doesn't matter.

Of course, you're only V.P.. I've spoken with our President, and he says you're a virtue-signaling fag with an overpriced shitmobile you can't even afford to keep. He told me this as we were railing eight-balls of coke off your mom's tits.

Go fuck yourself. Consider this letter my two weeks notice. Also, I keyed the fuck out of your car in the parking lot. I wonder how much that will cost you to fix? Can't have people seeing you drive around in a car with scratches on it, now can we?

Btw, I've contacted the ACLU, and they have advised me to sue you for a bunch of reasons provable by your letter. I won't be bullied to waste my $.

Nice cope larp, take your meds schozio

>>16941963

If I received this I'd walk off work on the spot, block all phone calls and emails, completely ghost them. Then I'd wait a few weeks/months and key the goddamn fuck out of that VP of Finance's car (no HR slut is going to notice or care about a car, it was clearly his idea).

Post your shitboxes

look up the 3 body problem

"sure, i'll get a new car if you give me a 30% raise."

I honestly have no idea how anyone can afford to buy new cars, they cost a fucking fortune

>>16941963
Lawyer. NOW.

>>16945543
yes it is

>>16945643
you think normies ¨buy¨ new cars? they get downpayment and spend 50% of they paycheck to finance it, only for it to lose 70% value over the next years. Everybody with a stable income can finance a new car, it's just retarded to do so, but hey, look at my new car!!!

If this is real you have a great lawsuit just waiting for you. Show that to a couple attorneys in town.

>>16941963
FUCK OP, you need a raise, then don't buy a new car. that car is fine!
