Leal posted:At work we didn't get loads on Sundays. Well now that is being changed, which means now that we get a load 7 days a week each load will be smaller. Meaning I'll finish breaking the load earlier. Which means I'll have to step out on the floor and do work. The floor I thought I escaped getting this job. And now I'll be working more Sundays, with all the good catholics taking family trips with their bored as hell children who had to sit down and shut up for mass. To be clear, you're saying that you miss getting a huge load?

Maybe we can outlaw crime while we're talking about shoulda wouldas? Why hasn't anyone thought of that one? Maybe we can expand it to outlawing immoral behaviour, just in general? This is the worst derail. Sorry that you have to touch money sometimes, please run for office so that the rest of Australia can enjoy your impassioned arguments.

If this happened after discovering the wage theft and discussing action about it, there's no reason to think this wouldn't be retaliation, even if there's the fig leaf of insubordination. I guess it depends on the timeline.

Telephones posted:I loving hate my retail job. At the end of my shift last night I was pulled into a room where three managers really let me have it. They brought up a big list of things that I'm doing wrong - a number of the things they want me to be doing are contradictory - and they're acting as is anything less than 100% maximal efficiency is me being an rear end in a top hat. Like if my stocking cart isn't 100% absolutely full every time, then I'm basically wasting their money - BUT I can't put the volumes of trash that accumulate in a little bin out of the way, it has to go back on top of the fully stocked cart which I'm supposed to be working from?? Like, these are produce boxes with lots of papers and plastics and separators in them, how am I supposed to keep the compost separate from the recycling separate from the trash like they want me to? gently caress! They said that my work has been in continual decline and that they were really excited to hire me but that I've just been a disappointment and they looked like they meant it, like I had really let them down and hurt their feelings. This is after I was literally lying completely on the ground to clean under their tables and shelves, after we got so much done literally everyone was walking around looking for poo poo to do. They're just trying to guilt trip you into thinking that any bullshit they pull on you is your fault and that you're somehow deserving of it. Do never be friends with anyone who treats you this way.

Star Man posted:During my stint as an admin assistant at an indoor mushroom farm, I took an application that was mostly blank. All it had on it was the guy's name, phone number, the name of his last place of employment that was an oil field in Texas (but no number or address), no references, and just "hard worker" on it. He forgot the most important part of Grandpa's advice, which is to barge into the managers office and not leave until he's employed or thrown out. Whoops. He also forgot to flirt with you, leading to your eventual marriage

gamingCaffeinator posted:I hate when people ask me for a recommendation and then bitch about it. Just had a lady who asked if I thought she'd need an extra shot in her cold brew, and I said no. poo poo's strong, you should be fine. She literally called in fifteen minutes later to bitch about how I told her it'd be fine but it wasn't, and also that her coffee wasn't full because we didn't have it sloshing out of the top of the lid. Obnoxious cow. Take solace in the fact that this person would have called to complain no matter what you did, since that's their only joy in life.

Dumb as it occasionally is, I have a little kid with celiac and having voluntary labeling with federal regulations backing them up is extremely helpful. Gluten gets into all kinds of weird product uses (soups! playdoh! candy! chips!) so being able to pick up processed food that's nominally totally unrelated to wheat which I can know is safe is pretty huge.

That's the next step before full automation and I cannot believe that he hasn't gotten onto that grift in some aspects of his corporation. That's the very last thing he needs, PR and labor wise. He's probably content to be considered one of the only book sources for prisons.
