There were 2 people at work EXACTLY like this. They both got upset over not getting their way on something ridiculous.... and threatened to resign.... which we gladly accepted. I guess they didn’t see that coming.
I remember a guy at work, had a really experienced guy come into his office, all up on his high horse about something. He resigned. His boss accepted it. "Hey, wait!" he said. "Aren't you going to try to talk me out of it?" "You just resigned," the boss said. "Turn in your car keys and your computer." Done. And perfect.
Actually it takes at least 5h of complicated stuff and procedures to do a complete restart... 😉 But I really like you capitan so just give me 30min and you'll be good to go. 😁
They sort of did that in a S2 episode of TNG. Alien program infected the Enterprise, caused huge malfunctions. Geordi shut everything down and restored from a backup. Took him mere seconds.

If that’s toxic then they are in for a world of hurt. Toxic is when someone cuts you off on Quito by route 9 even though there is only one lane on both sides and the speed limit is 25. This happened to me the other day which is ridiculous because of how dangerous Quito is to speed on let alone cut someone off. This is probably pretty niche for someone who doesn’t travel around Saratoga and Los Gatos but it’s basically an example of entitled, reckless, and dangerous driving due to the very narrow roads and turns which require fairly slow driving before considering the deer crossing that’s also there.

@@peterpiper7441 In short, gaslighting is the act of convincing someone that the have lost touch with reality/are going crazy. Example. you are in the break room at lunch waiting your turn to use the microwave. While you aren't looking I move your lunch and hide it. Then you look around and say "where's my lunch". Everyone in the room says, "you didn't have a lunch when you came in". Since so many people said you didn't have it you start to leave wondering if you're going crazy because you could have sworn you had it. The group stops you and laughs, "sorry, we were just gaslighting you as a joke." we all laugh together.
I didn't realize it until reading this, but this was a rare sketch where Kate plays "straight woman" in a comedy sense, with the other actors doing the outrageous characters. She hardly ever does that, they usually have Cecily or Aidy or someone do it.
@@hahathatsgood It sounds like you may not be in the best group, but I'm genuinely curious about what you expected. I have mentored scores of undergrads, sent them to international conferences, helped them win prestigious scholarships (like NSFGRF), given them opportunities to be coauthors, set the same high expectations for them as my postdocs. My most recent undergrad refused to apply to any non-R1 research schools for a phd and refused to keep a lab book because they thought photos on their phone were good enough...they are now taking a forced gap year having not been accepted anywhere. Another student thought that their cinema club was more important than working towards a first-author paper. A few students have ignored the advise of their mentors (be they senior undergrads, postdocs, or myself), thinking that they know better, then irreparably damaged months of their work or equipment; one had their mother call me when they then could not get data for a required senior thesis, even though we had already talked about an alternative topic requiring no data. I've met some of my best friends working in labs as an undergrad or phd student, but the focus is still on work while we're in the lab. I do laugh inside watching students make "air hashtags" unironically or whatever the latest things are. But as someone actively working towards DEI on multiple fronts, I am constantly thinking of my biases and to make sure that they do not influence my actions and impact students. There are a lot of workshops for students at universities and whatever professional society your field is. They will help teach you about the culture of your field. When we treat students as mature scientists, we expect them to learn from those they are working with and act to like it. We overlook generational idiosyncrasies if the student is otherwise proactive, engaged, interested, and open to learning and feedback.
@@mmacify Here's a documentary on the small star fleet academy they went to ruclips.net/video/FH2WeWgcSMk/видео.html turns out it's a real place called Evergreen in Washington state. It could be an actual case for student debt forgiveness, as the product they received had no value.
i've only known 1 McKenna IRL and this is EXACTLY how she acted. it gets better- that wasn't her real name. she actually legally changed it to McKenna from something else, which is about the most meta-McKenna thing possible except maybe changing it from McKenna to MaKenna.
"stop gaslighting me" and "I need to speak my truth" were words that were actually spoken in the same sentence by the same straight out of college person to the entire management board at my job. The crime? We let her know that she couldn't lock herself in the communal bathroom for hours on end brooding over a breakup, and making everyone's bladder explode in the meantime.
I feel bad if this catches on. I mean "McKenna" is an idiotic first name, especially for a woman, so wouldn't feel AS bad for McKennas out there as I do for Karens, but still. And Karen happened like overnight, like W T F. And who could have thought that a noble, impressive name like Homer would become this smirk-inducing humiliating doofus name. Pop culture can make an unremarkable name into a lifelong miserable hassle basically instantly.
@@VirginPrince yeah but since this is a prequel maybe this was before they reverted to a completely cashless society. There are some references to paychecks and such in TOS. I bet it’s like you don’t pay for what you need, just what you want ig
He's simultaneously delightful and nauseating. Mackenna is extremely good too, but there is no denying she is topped by Mikey. It's just gorgeous to watch again and again because you know it isn't real and you don't have to discipline him but it looks even realer than real; and at the same time it's agonising to watch because you also know that if it was real and you were there it would make you sick.
I wish skit was longer. I wish we could of heard McKenna’s childhood home getting blown up and do a spin off of a spin off McKenna & Zachary’s tragic spiral at the space Starbucks 🥸
@@geekyfangirl9283 I think McKenna and those other names above are ridiculous especially for girls, but I know they're normal at this point, and I still feel bad for anyone whose name goes from normal or unremarkable to being a joke or a burden. "Karen" happened like overnight. And then think of the great Greek poet, impressive as a genius for thousands of years, whose name suddenly became a doofus: "Homer"
@@IrishCarney I completely agree its totally ridiculous, but I know who I am and I don't have the time or energy (who does really) to be affected by something like this. I actually don't hear my name often in the media so the fact that SNL even chose to use it I was honored! I appreciate your input, honestly this is the first time I have ever commented and I've been watching RUclips for years... go figure!
The conclusion - they drift close to death, when they are picked up by an alien ship passing by, which happen to have picked up a strange cookbook, and the alien beings need to try out a recipe ("To serve man")
My first day as CFO of my new job, I had two 20-something girls on my staff who requested an URGENT meeting with me because they wanted to re-write their own job descriptions to what they enjoyed doing more. When I told them they couldn't do that, one of them ran to her office and started crying. The next week they both came back to me and asked why they weren't allowed to sit in on Senior Executive Meetings with me and the CEO.
@@christycampbell2410 I didn't know what to say during the first meeting, honestly. I was a deer in the headlights. But for the 2nd meeting, I said "A Senior Exec Meeting is for Senior Execs. That's why they call it that. End of discussion." One of the girls quit after my 3rd week. It was during a staff meeting where I had asked to her to handle a media project (which was literally her job) and she glared at me and said "I don't like doing that." I offered her the option of doing it or leaving. She chose to leave. And the one who stayed behind shaped up really quickly.
I rewatch this sketch about 7 times a month. I think about it constantly. Can we get a petition signed for this to be written into a full length movie?
That is one thing I really liked about the Star Trek TNG. The drama was focused on problems "out there" and everyone worked together professionally and competently. Seems a good model for society.
Here's the thing with that: Gene Roddenberry didn't want the main characters to have any interpersonal conflict due to his optimistic vision of humanity enlightened future, but the writers didn't like it as conflict is the essence of drama and Gene's vision put constraints on them because they had to do new ways to tell stories and if the characters are perfect and have no problems of conflicts, then there is no story. In fact, the first season had 30 writers leaving the show due to Gene and his lawyer, Leonard Maizlish enforcing the vision.
@@marshallhuffer4713Interesting story. Glad they stuck with his vision, at least for TNG. Maybe it was better to drop the writers as that one seemed to be the most timeless and have compelling storylines.
@@hadracks I'd agree. And despite common misconceptions, TNG characters did actually have conflict at times. The difference was that they didn't let it interfere with their professionalism and the overall mission. I'd say Trek in its modern incarnations has moved way too far from this ideal.
@@marshallhuffer4713 indeed. took a special kind of writer to keep up and adapt to the idea that the future would be *different*. Thats why Trek is different ...and a legend. There was still room for plenty of interpersonal conflicts ..and banter that would be called toxic abuse by those charcters in the SNL sketch. Roddenberry just wouldn't allow it to become a soap opera.
My husband and I just sold our family home and downsized to a smaller, more manageable place. You cannot believe the reaction from our grown children and THEIR childhood friends. They had a going away party at the house. Literally one of them kissed the walls. I'm so glad they have such great memories but OMG!
@@shawnmorris4479 The game show format is overused in SNL. It's not even like game shows are common occurrence anymore. Only the old mainstays are still around
Can't forget the costumes. They mixed just about every style from the CBS All-Access (excuse me, Paramount+, they thought of the plus before Disney, but after Google) shows. Definitely some Trek fans on staff.
It's not the best SNL Trek skit. My vote goes to the John Belushi one. This feels much more generic and toned down for a wider audience... like Discovery!
I am very sorry that y’all have to interact with my selfish, weak, and spineless age group 😂😂 However I promise that not all of us 21 year olds act this way haha
It is the intentional dilution of language so that there is no difference between fact and opinion. This makes an accurate description of reality impossible. It's not overly dramatic to say that if it ever caught on with everybody society would devolve into permanent chaos.
I don't think Adama would do that, but feels like something Archer, Sisko and Janeway would have threatened to do in their darker moments. Hell, Archer does have an airlock torture scene in Enterprise.
This is a relief, my sister is terrified of her 22 year old daughter, whom she sent to the best and most expensive small private schools. I'm glad to see SNL poke a bit of fun at it, we've got a whole generation of kids like this...
@@PhysicallyAwake No. Whatever issues any other generation has had (and every generation has had plenty), they were never THIS. THIS is just unbearably pathetic.
That HAS to be Akira Yoshimura, long serving SNL production designer, under that alien mask. He’s been in every Star Trek parody on the show, always in the yellow command shirt. Great attention to detail.
I'd pay to see a sketch where we see how Picard and his crew deals with Mariner and Boimler from Lower Decks... or hell, pretty much every idiot from that show.
....No, actually, they would have been 100% against wonton murder in all situations. The people would not have been on the deck in the first place. And, unlike these terrible people, neither Picard nor Word nor any main character at any time would be racist.
I started to laugh but then realized that this was way too real. I'm sure everyone has had to deal with at least 1 of those two brats in the workplace! 😅🤣
Twenty years ago, I worked for a bank, opening new accounts for college freshmen. Their helicopter parents accompanied them whenever they came to my desk to start a new account. (I guess that was their way of teaching their freshly minted "adults" how to take charge of themselves and take care of their own business as real grown-ups.) Fast forward to today. Now we know what happened to those young people at my bank desk; they never grew up and became our present-day co-workers!
It was a valid suggestion, turning the ship off and on again has literally worked on Star Trek before. In the TNG episode “Contagion”-- {at this point I get stuffed into a locker}
“Welcome to Spencer’s, can I help you find something today?” “Yes we’re from SNL and we’re doing a Sci-Fi sketch, we’ll take all of your electric orbs.” “Trust me, no you won’t”.

@@peterpiper7441 I would like to know this as well.
@@peterpiper7441 Watch the movie "Gaslight", to see where the term originated. Watch it. It's not hard.
@@peterpiper7441 In short, gaslighting is the act of convincing someone that the have lost touch with reality/are going crazy. Example. you are in the break room at lunch waiting your turn to use the microwave. While you aren't looking I move your lunch and hide it. Then you look around and say "where's my lunch". Everyone in the room says, "you didn't have a lunch when you came in". Since so many people said you didn't have it you start to leave wondering if you're going crazy because you could have sworn you had it. The group stops you and laughs, "sorry, we were just gaslighting you as a joke." we all laugh together.

This is Discovery since season 3
Even though it's a waste of her comedic skills I'd genuinely watch Kate's sensible, stern character here in a real series.
Sensible yet stern indeed. That's a great way to put it. Basically her "Elizabeth Warren" characters lol
Isn't she basically just doing Janeway from Voyager? but yes anyways
She’s be the commentating officer that subordinates would respect and like.
I didn't realize it until reading this, but this was a rare sketch where Kate plays "straight woman" in a comedy sense, with the other actors doing the outrageous characters. She hardly ever does that, they usually have Cecily or Aidy or someone do it.

As a researcher on a university campus, this looks more like a documentary than a comedy sketch.
Ditto. I just wish they could use the word "actually" correctly.
I like this show
@@hahathatsgood It sounds like you may not be in the best group, but I'm genuinely curious about what you expected.
I have mentored scores of undergrads, sent them to international conferences, helped them win prestigious scholarships (like NSFGRF), given them opportunities to be coauthors, set the same high expectations for them as my postdocs. My most recent undergrad refused to apply to any non-R1 research schools for a phd and refused to keep a lab book because they thought photos on their phone were good enough...they are now taking a forced gap year having not been accepted anywhere. Another student thought that their cinema club was more important than working towards a first-author paper. A few students have ignored the advise of their mentors (be they senior undergrads, postdocs, or myself), thinking that they know better, then irreparably damaged months of their work or equipment; one had their mother call me when they then could not get data for a required senior thesis, even though we had already talked about an alternative topic requiring no data.
I've met some of my best friends working in labs as an undergrad or phd student, but the focus is still on work while we're in the lab.
I do laugh inside watching students make "air hashtags" unironically or whatever the latest things are. But as someone actively working towards DEI on multiple fronts, I am constantly thinking of my biases and to make sure that they do not influence my actions and impact students.
There are a lot of workshops for students at universities and whatever professional society your field is. They will help teach you about the culture of your field.
When we treat students as mature scientists, we expect them to learn from those they are working with and act to like it. We overlook generational idiosyncrasies if the student is otherwise proactive, engaged, interested, and open to learning and feedback.
Trump was right

i've only known 1 McKenna IRL and this is EXACTLY how she acted. it gets better- that wasn't her real name. she actually legally changed it to McKenna from something else, which is about the most meta-McKenna thing possible except maybe changing it from McKenna to MaKenna.
"stop gaslighting me" and "I need to speak my truth" were words that were actually spoken in the same sentence by the same straight out of college person to the entire management board at my job. The crime? We let her know that she couldn't lock herself in the communal bathroom for hours on end brooding over a breakup, and making everyone's bladder explode in the meantime.

He's simultaneously delightful and nauseating. Mackenna is extremely good too, but there is no denying she is topped by Mikey. It's just gorgeous to watch again and again because you know it isn't real and you don't have to discipline him but it looks even realer than real; and at the same time it's agonising to watch because you also know that if it was real and you were there it would make you sick.

"She broke my arm, I need the rest of the day off." 😂😂 This skit has been saved under my "comedy" folder for days when I need a good laugh.
My first day as CFO of my new job, I had two 20-something girls on my staff who requested an URGENT meeting with me because they wanted to re-write their own job descriptions to what they enjoyed doing more. When I told them they couldn't do that, one of them ran to her office and started crying. The next week they both came back to me and asked why they weren't allowed to sit in on Senior Executive Meetings with me and the CEO.
If this is fiction, cudos, you need to start writing for SNL asap!
If this actually happened....I can't even....
I really want to know more about this. What did you say?
@@christycampbell2410 I didn't know what to say during the first meeting, honestly. I was a deer in the headlights. But for the 2nd meeting, I said "A Senior Exec Meeting is for Senior Execs. That's why they call it that. End of discussion." One of the girls quit after my 3rd week. It was during a staff meeting where I had asked to her to handle a media project (which was literally her job) and she glared at me and said "I don't like doing that." I offered her the option of doing it or leaving. She chose to leave. And the one who stayed behind shaped up really quickly.

That is one thing I really liked about the Star Trek TNG. The drama was focused on problems "out there" and everyone worked together professionally and competently. Seems a good model for society.
Here's the thing with that: Gene Roddenberry didn't want the main characters to have any interpersonal conflict due to his optimistic vision of humanity enlightened future, but the writers didn't like it as conflict is the essence of drama and Gene's vision put constraints on them because they had to do new ways to tell stories and if the characters are perfect and have no problems of conflicts, then there is no story. In fact, the first season had 30 writers leaving the show due to Gene and his lawyer, Leonard Maizlish enforcing the vision.
@@marshallhuffer4713Interesting story. Glad they stuck with his vision, at least for TNG. Maybe it was better to drop the writers as that one seemed to be the most timeless and have compelling storylines.
@@hadracks I'd agree. And despite common misconceptions, TNG characters did actually have conflict at times. The difference was that they didn't let it interfere with their professionalism and the overall mission. I'd say Trek in its modern incarnations has moved way too far from this ideal.
@@Don-ol8ze welll, except for Broccolli ;)
@@marshallhuffer4713 indeed. took a special kind of writer to keep up and adapt to the idea that the future would be *different*.
Thats why Trek is different ...and a legend.
There was still room for plenty of interpersonal conflicts ..and banter that would be called toxic abuse by those charcters in the SNL sketch. Roddenberry just wouldn't allow it to become a soap opera.
My husband and I just sold our family home and downsized to a smaller, more manageable place. You cannot believe the reaction from our grown children and THEIR childhood friends.

It drives me crazy. So many people who say it are good, well intentioned people. But, there is no "your truth" or "my truth." There's only the truth.
It is the intentional dilution of language so that there is no difference between fact and opinion. This makes an accurate description of reality impossible. It's not overly dramatic to say that if it ever caught on with everybody society would devolve into permanent chaos.
