  2. In 2013 I would’ve thought this was the coolest thing ever

  3. “The 13-time Grammy winner was essentially booted for munching on the job. “It got me in trouble,” Williams said. “I got fired three times. Not for the same thing. The first two times, it was just because I was lazy. The third time, it was just kind of like, ‘Dude, what are you doing? Why are you just sitting there eating nuggets? What are you doing?’”

    I mean… kinda sounds like they earned it. Imagine working hard and every time you saw them, they were just dipping nuggies in different sauces bc he quote on quote “likes flavors.”

  4. I can personally verify that they have since removed the prohibition on employees just sitting there eating.

  5. The third time was also because lazy. You might be the greatest producer, but McDonalds doesn’t have ProTools

  6. We all could be potentially working with someone lazy and utterly indifferent at our workplace, but they’re brilliant in other things, like producing hits or OF

  7. I’ve had too many experiences with lazy coworkers. Like..my job is shitty enough as is, why are you making it harder? Sure, Pharrell’s talents helped him out in the end but not every lazy coworker is pharrel and we need to shame them tbh.

  8. I worked there in HS. For 3 months. I gained 20 lbs. lol. I got 50% off.
