I mentioned getting fired in the chat thread due to not wanting to use my own car for dog walking work without gas reimbursement (or at all tbh). It's a pet supply store and they hired me on as a sales associate. Then about two months in they started training me to do dog-walking, as their business was picking up again after a pandemic lull. They said I would do it "occasionally", then this week they had me scheduled for dog walking all day M-F. Apparently I wasn't good at talking to customers (they only said anything about this after I was fired) so they decided to switch my job around without telling me or bringing up any issues with my work at all so I could, I don't know, try to improve?

Lol my boss just realized it's still a pandemic so I don't have to go to Vietnam for work this fall

Is that a yearly thing you have to do?

I dunno but if you call me a slang term for a vulva, you're gonna fart your veneers. It has zero to do with me being protestant or Catholic (I'm neither) and everything to you with the pejorative usage of "a vulva." Which is typically weaponized against non-men in this country.

Yeah, same kind of. My mom and I may disagree on many, many things but she at least taught me not to use the c-word (or b*tch for that matter) for the exact reason you said.

I found another job! It's data entry for a medical laboratory. Not anything exciting and the commute by bus is a little janky time wise but at least my coworkers and boss seems nice. Unfortunately since my background check took longer than expected to clear they had me start last Wednesday for training and I'm going to be working until this Friday. Also my shift is early afternoon to night so dramatically adjusting my sleep schedule is going to be fun

Do you have a place to hide and gently caress around when you have nothing to do? Being bored at work with no way to goof off is the worst.

Also, how's the vaccine situation in Japan?

Escape From Noise posted:

a large percentage of the population is not getting vaccinated due to fears of "side effects"

Is this because of personal health fears or is more not wanting to miss work?

This my first "real" office job and the department I'm in wants to start doing a monthly "game night", which is already bad enough. They also want to do them on Saturdays, one of my days off. It's one of those things where attendance is "not mandatory but encouraged". Trying to think of an excuse.to get out of this first one and then find another way to avoid the rest!!

Have you considered telling them board game nights are not part of your employment agreement and that if you are not getting paid you do not want to see any of your coworkers?

I don't think I can afford to be that blunt, not yet anyway. That could just be my anxiety talking though

I just got a job offer to work for 3M at $20.50 per hour :psyduck:

I never thought I'd make that much money in my life and I am hella loving excite :peanut:

The sad thing is that's probably what minimum wage should be adjusted for inflation and cost of living increases.

I tested negative, but they want everybody who was around my co-worker to stay home for 7 days anyway. Forgot to ask if it was unpaid!!
