Hooo. Funny Bosses. So funny. Hrm.

Hands on hips and smiling, Runk said to Val, “and you. Do you have anything to say? Any protests or slurs to my character?” Val meekly said, “no. But I do offer to take her place. Audri and I are very close, so if she knew I was receiving punishment for her actions, she’d be super scared to ever do anything wrong again.” Contemplating this, Runk said, “you truly think it would make her become meek and well-behaved?” With a glimmer of hope, Val said, “yes! For sure!” Runk smiled and said, “ha! And what fun would that be? Plus, I know you only offer because it kills you to know she’s being tortured. Ao, I’ll give her a few extra strokes because of your request. What do you think of that?” Stunned and lying to not make things worse, Val said, “ha! I had no idea my boss was so funny! To think that would bother me at all.” Smiling and leaving the room, Runk said, “oh good. I’ll get to it then. Especially since it won’t bother you.” Alone and sad, Val returned to scrubbing the floor.

And that escape pod just sits there, being ignored.
Chekhov’s Escape Pod.
The escape pod is a trap.
Quite possible, but would it stop them?
You are probably correct. Cue the sounds of laughter of Jabba the Hutt…. You thought I’d put a real escape pod right there? That’s actually a Auto Flog unit!
The Escape Pod is a lie, but it is full of cake.
You can’t give a sadist anything to work with, which is far easier said than done. Long-term management of a sadist means establishing a paradigm where any harm they inflict on others results in a greater harm befalling them, which is even more difficult to arrange. Hence it’s best to avoid them.
I pray that someone on this ship has a laser. I’d love to see him turn into globules. Hope it hurts.
So, now we clean the escape pod. Then ask Der Furher there to inspect our work. Oops, bumped the launch button. Off he goes. And we now have a party ship!
Using reverse psychology on sociopaths is always a failure, and quite often dangerous.
Meaning: No matter where you think you stick it, that knife ends up in YOUR OWN back.
This asshat went to “I want him dead” villain status immediately. I think it’s the sociopathy and sadism combined with that outfit, particularly the belt buckle. I’m not sure why, but the belt buckle somehow makes him even more insufferable.
