drat, sorry the new gig is such a poo poo show EFN. Ditto about your coworker TT, that's hella hosed that they can't just get the job done. I also have some pretty incompetent coworkers but it is kind of par for course considering it's the food industry. Twenty Four I wish you a speedy recovery and that your new management doesn't cut you on some bullshit. It's wild to me people stay at jobs that long. I think the longest I've worked anywhere is like two years, I always just end up livid at the boss or a coworker or something. Actually this current job is probably the first place I'm going to be at for more than two years. I assure all of the unemployed goons here though that aside from the financial security, you are really not missing much.

Pouring one out for my orbs with absolutely dreadful sounding employers. I quit a "real" job and ended up in the service industry again, but at least I have the first boss I feel like I can have an honest conversation with since 2007 or so. |

Twenty Four posted:I truly feel that working a poo poo job with a good boss and cool coworkers is, if not financially, at least mentally better then working a "good job" with a bunch of shitheads. Oh yeah, I way agree My bosses at the apartment maintenance gig weren't too bad. I mostly hated being on call, and the stupid non-emergency calls you would inevitably get when you're off the clock. Also- and I never really experienced this because I never accepted more than just the ground floor level of responsibility- but my immediate supervisor was complaining about his boss because the way they look at renovating units. S was like, "it's a great two bedroom or a tiny three bedroom" and the big boss would be like "MAKE IT THREE" without fail, I knew if I accepted a promotion and became the main guy in any buildings I would start to butt heads with them. Twenty Four posted:I think I have a bit of the worst from both worlds though depending on constant management and staff changes, and I stress over it way more then I probably should. You've been at the same place for a long while right? How often does management get changed up? What is preventing you from looking for other employment?

Trying to find things to do while we wait for it to pick up, and in spite of this I still haven't had time to get any reading done on the clock (which is a rare but real perk). At least some of my coworkers have added interest to the shift by not understanding real basic poo poo about the job they've been doing for a fuckin year already. I really needed the laugh I got out of that.

Have you tried putting your sweaty ballsack on your bosses face? It sounds like it could really help your situation. putting your balls on your bosses face is not for everyone, please contact your doctor to see if putting your balls on your bosses face is right for you.

cruft posted:Hi, I just got off a call with my boss and two people who work for me. Here's the lowdown:  Also  at upper management dealing with pressure at all. I mean, I know they have responsibilities, but let's just talk about the list you posted.
Escape From Noise posted:I seriously constantly wonder this. I'm also getting paid way more than anyone else because in his words I know a lot about beer. He tells everyone to listen to me, takes my advice at first, then decides to revert back to the original way a few days later.  It sucks, but good on you for getting your own PPE, poo poo is not a game. I'm always thankful to not have an office job, and now hearing stories like cruft's I'm even more thankful. I think I mentioned before there's talk about letting customers into my place of business again. I'm not about it. Even not having them in the store though, the vast majority of them when I bring food out to em or make deliveries aren't wearing masks, I suppose it wouldn't be a massive change. But we've really thrown rules about what we're allowed to listen to out the window and I don't want to have to think about lyrics hard enough to try and decide what is and isn't appropriate for the loving shambling monsters that shop here. Customers are the loving worst.

 This is how we're "deciding" if we let customers back in or not. As you might be able to tell, some of us don't take much anything seriously. Probably doesn't help that some of us are here five or six days a week and other people once a week. And that this board has only previously hosted nonsense questions that we all habitually turned into jokes. |

Job searching sucks and trying to climb a corporate ladder in my own company double sucks cause I have this dumb thing about speaking my mind and not always filtering. Good luck out there all you fellow workers. I agree, looking for jobs is the w o r s t. MN that is a tough spot to be in. I don't even know how to feel about that choice. Good luck friend! |

Yeah it's Friday but I just had my two days off so I'm going to work in about 30 minutes here. I normally don't drive on Fridays but if I'm reading the picture I took of the schedule right I am driving tonight. I wish my car had AC, it's in the high 80s and humid as balls. I'm sick of fireworks. They are just so pointless.

There's nothing to do for real? Most companies I have worked at send people home instead of paying them when the cleaning list gets thin. I can't believe they would scold you to try and not get paid for hanging out trying to look busy. I do understand that there's a wide berth of cultural differences but a small business saving money makes sense and I'm not good at being a capitalist. |

Two of em were in the last ten minutes. If you absolutely need your food as late as possible please call ahead of time so the food can be made before everything gets cleaned, thanks. |
