If you need a trolley every time, but a trolley isn’t always made available, wouldn’t it be time to invest in a trolley?

Steakandchips posted:Take the delivery company to task for their employee refusing to let you use the trolley you are contractually allowed to use, and if the driver is contractually obliged to help you move product, take them to task for him refusing to do that as well. Yes, gently caress over the underpaid delivery driver for not doing your backbreaking work for you instead of having staff on hand to help you unload and buying a loving hundred dollar dolly from Staples. Just because some drivers volunteer to help, it doesn't mean others have that obligation or are bad people for not doing so. I will never understand this bullshit of wanting to make other workers' lives worse instead of fighting to improve your own lovely situation.

Have you considered that if your situation requires you to work 60 hours a week to keep the place together, then you're getting hosed by management farther up the line and you should stop putting your body on the line for their profits.

I did indeed. It wasn't a problem after this. Boywhiz88 posted:If you need a trolley every time, but a trolley isn’t always made available, wouldn’t it be time to invest in a trolley? I did this too. They sent the wrong kind of trolley.

Every day but I'm not the kind of manager who will turn around and keep the poo poo flowing. I get more out of happy staff even if that means I have to juggle a few more balls during this pandemic.

The ersatz insurrectionist who shot himself in the chest in his home was facing only a misdemeanor unlawful entry charge. Killing yourself rather than facing that is, in fact, very funny.

Which part of "if the driver is contractually obliged to help you move product, take them to task for him refusing to do that as well." did you not understand? You're the one making up the contractually obligated bit. The driver did the job they were paid to do. OP is the GM and choosing to work an extra 20 hours a week for free instead of paying their employees to work those hours, while claiming to care about their wellbeing. They have now decided to steal labour from a different company altogether instead of paying their own employees and/or purchasing the equipment to make it easier to do the work themselves that they refuse to pay a person to do. By all means keep patting yourself on the back for making life worse for the drivers at that company instead of standing up for yourself and your own workers, aginor.

Just because some drivers volunteer to help, it doesn't mean others have that obligation or are bad people for not doing so. Don't think you got my comment, mate. Fact of the matter is, it's within their contract to place the stock where we need it. We put it away from there. It's backbreaking manual labour for everyone but we help each other out generally. Most of the time I'm giving them a coffee and having a smoke after all the hard yakka is done. Labour budgets don't afford me the luxury of having a chain gang of staff to take in deliveries. Labour budgets don't afford me to hire staff. But instead of saying, "My contracted hours is 45, you kitchen guys do 60 hours a week because you're paid per hour", I do the extras so I can staff up on the days I need off and nobody does more then they're willing or able to do. Me doing things like this meant I could prevent a transfer's job from being stopped and I could get her on the books and pay her something so she wouldn't go without during this lockdown. 9 hours pay for a 2 hour day because I can pick up the slack. I don't think I'm making anyone else's life difficult to improve my own lovely situation. I've made my management bed and I will sleep in it. Edit: also the drivers are on similar money to me. £30k-£36k Aginor fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Jan 13, 2021 |

The FBI has announced it's going to seek sentences of up to 20 years when possible.

muscles like this! posted:Yeah, a Youtuber I follow recently signed up for the DVD plan from Netflix because he discovered that there's a lot of stuff on there that just isn't really available anywhere else. Like the OJ Simpson "prank" show. My favorite schad relating to Netflix (from Wikipedia): "In 2000, when Netflix had just about 300,000 subscribers and relied on the US Postal Service for the delivery of their DVDs, their losses would total $57 million and offered to be acquired by Blockbuster for $50 million. They proposed that Netflix, which would be renamed as Blockbuster.com, would handle the online business, while Blockbuster would take care of the DVDs, making them less dependent on the US Postal Service. The offer was declined."

I do my job for the love of my team, even if they don't get why I do the things I do. I once won a trip to France and gave it to a staff member who was having a hard time and she put the knife in my back down the line. Would I go back and change that decision? Nope. She needed it. And I sure as hell didn't want to get drunk with the higher ups.

It doesn’t work that way, at least in precedent. People can be pardoned for vague, uncharged offenses. Entire groups can be pardoned. We’re in uncharted waters and it’s possible that the Supreme Court say “actually, you can’t foment a coup on another branch of government and pardon everyone involved”. But it won’t be on the technicality that charges have not yet been filed.

It's a pure cult of personality that these people haven't abandoned him after he played it down after it happened. Plus, didn't he try to reverse Chelsea Mannings pardon? Surely he set a precedence of pardon's being up for appeal?

Perhaps the answer is no one does 60 hours a week and if management bitches about it, shrug and tell them to increase the budget for staffing. You're not suffering for your coworkers' or employees' benefit, you're suffering for management's benefit.

There's more involved then standing firm. My restaurant was a problem restaurant when I took over it and only turned the corner prior to the initial lockdown. They've closed over 100 of our restaurants during all this upheaval and I'm going to do what it takes it keep it open and keep the staff in work considering that the city I live in is sparse on jobs. If it were to close then I could gently caress off anywhere I want. My staff and their families don't have that luxury.
