Poor woman's likely to get fired even though it was 100% justified after being rammed like that which is a shame. But holy poo poo, just watching the rear end in a top hat go limp after that knockout punch does wonders for the soul!

Perfect swing. gently caress that guy. His mate behind her holding her back while he rams his trolley into her should also cop it. Hope that greeter doesn't get punished. ErKeL fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jun 4, 2021 |

The yellow/hi-vis vest makes me think that was a co-worker trying to keep her rear end from being fired. And yeah, spineless corporate it almost certainly gonna fire her sadly, Eric the Mauve posted:Do we have her name? We need to name an award after her. I'd honestly hope we don't ever get her name: you know people are gonna side with the dumbass that ended up drooling on the floor and harass her. Because people are assholes and hate it when other assholes get what's coming to them.

That's an immensely satisfying video to watch but for their sake I really hope the guy isn't too hurt, aside from his pride. His head hitting the hard floor could end poorly.

It kinda looks like she was gonna let it go after being rammed, but then he spits on her and she just loses it. Dude's an rear end in a top hat and deserved that punch and more.

We lost power at work for the whole day and most likely half of our products are ruined because of it. We've been dealing with breakers tripping almost everyday because we added new equipment without adding sufficient power lines. HQ dragged on adding more power because they whined it was too expensive, and now it turned out the outage was caused by blown fuse in our main switch, which probably was caused by the constant tripping of the breaker. About a week ago we were told the issue with our location is low employee productivity. I watched over the years the tens thousands of dollars we had to spend fixing our failing equipment and poor infrastructure. Instead of fixing all that, they decided we're just not working hard enough. I was under huge pressure to turn the place around because the responsibility was pushed onto me, but at this point I've totally cut myself off of my work. If HQ don't care enough to fix our location, then why should I care?

Every single year in the middle of summer our AC shits the bed. Every year corporate drags rear end about "No it seems to be working fine!" until piles of customer complaints roll in. One year they had the HVAC guys in at least 10 times over the course of a month trying to patch things together. The HVAC unit in the building is literally from the 1970s, the techs kept telling corporate that seriously you just need to bite the bullet and replace this poo poo. Finally one year they authorized something substantial, replacing two compressors on the roof. All 4 were hosed, but 2 were less hosed I guess? They had to get a crane out and everything. Why in the gently caress wouldn't you just replace all of them, surely renting a crane and having the techs ALREADY ON SITE would make it worth it. Already it's starting to get stupid hot in the building. Here we go again!

Hot tip: some retail chains (especially those with "dollar" in the name) don't do big capital replacements unless the store is in the top x% highest revenue stores

Yeah that stuff happens because Corporate will only approve expenditures in a given category up to a certain tiny % of the given store's revenue. Slapping a band-aid on the wheezing, decrepit AC every summer will just baaaarely squeeze under that approval limit each budget year, and even though they'd spend less than half over the long term if they just paid up front to get it all redone and done right, no one involved at any level is incentivized to think beyond the current budget.

Had the exact same thing with the AC at my store. Turned out it was endemic to the company as well because every store I've worked at was like stepping into a sauna when outside is still freezing cold and raining somehow. It's been heaps better recently because they had 1 team member and 2 different customers collapse in the same week so they finally got their poo poo together.

So we had repairs this weekend and it's the first night back and things are gonna be a bit buggy. The upstairs AFE department (Amazon Fulfillment Engine: fancy way to say "Multiple items in one box") is down due to a technical glitch that the maintenance people caused. One of the Assistant Managers for the department tells me "Oh it should be back on in 30 minutes" and we both laugh and laugh. Anyways there's a bit of work heading there on the sorter so no biggie, take it off since the department's down and we can re-add it later. There's also a lot of work that wants to go to Mix over in Singles that won't route. And it keeps building up...and building up...and building up. Why? Because it wants to go to AFE2 which is closed. See here's the thing: A while back someone realized that 10-11% of AFE packages are actually picked out from inventory all in a single tote. Then it's sent to AFE where the items, despite all being together, are broken up and put on the sorter only to be re-sorted back together. In Amazon terms this is a lot of time and money. So now we have Mix which is a Mix of Singles Large Items and a handful of Multi items that should be in one tote. Usually it's stuff like 2-3 books or gift cards. Only the issue is that Singles only can do so much problem solving on them since their problem solving tools are designed for packages with 1 singular item in them. Thankfully AFE2 is right next door so they do something like 75% of the problem solve: especially the problem solve that involves the totes not actually being able to have been picked all clean like so the shipments have to go through AFE anyways. In short: AFE2 is closed but they're still getting dozens, hundreds of heavy rear end totes I have to rip off of the sorter and then had to throw back on 2 hours later when AFE2 went "Yeah we're gonna turn on a couple of our lines so that the work is at least in our department". Then the next 3 hours were the universe going "He look at all of these loose items on the coveyor belt causing jams! Have fun climbing ladders you fat gently caress!"

"Hey dispatch I can only stay till 430 today." --sent at 11am, after the usual mass text of "WHO WANTS OT ONLY REPLY IF YOU DO." My off time is 4pm. "Can only stay till 430. There's three orders I haven't picked up yet, can get two of them." --sent at 2pm. "I cannot get this last order, i have to be out by 430 and its 445." --sent at 4:45pm, after delivering 2 of the 3 orders. Dispatch finally replies: The order has been on you since 11am, you have to complete it. I noped out of work at 5pm. I did not get the last order that they could have given to ANYONE ELSE since I never loving picked it up. Ah, dispatch. Now I am wondering if he pulls this poo poo on male drivers since all the lady ones have agreed with me how much of an rear end he is.

Me: "Hey can someone pick up this tote? Labels are hosed and unscannable, so it won't route." B: "Yeah sure." Me: "It's sitting here waiting for you, just make sure to put it on a poo poo tote stack when you're done." 4 hours later. Me: "Hey B, I thought you said you were picking up this tote." B: "But...I did?" Me: "Then why is it at Jackpot?" B: "B-buh? Me: "With a brand new set of shipments in it." B: "...SONNUVA!" Me: "Make sure it actually gets in the trash pile this time, wouldn't want you picking it up a third time now would we?"

So my work said we no longer have to wear masks if we have proof of getting the vaccine. HR sent several people home the other day because it turns out they did not have the vaccine. They just stopped wearing masks and tried to see how long they could get away with it. My work is paying people to get the vaccine. Just loving get it already.

I still wear a mask when the store is open and customers are shopping, but before open I don't bother. I guess they're not allowed to ask for proof of my vaccination, so I had to sign a waiver that basically said "I give you my word that I am vaccinated." And now that they have it on paper, they can use that against any employee who signed it to fire them on the spot if they find out they aren't actually vaccinated.

You say that but  Note the "Covid" near the thumb, this was taken during the covid pandemic. Not only is this question asked, not only did the secret shopper not just go "this question is stupid" and give it a yes, but then someone loving printed it out and highlighted it as if it was a legit complaint during a time where you have to wear a mask. I almost appreciate how dystopiantly corporate this is

Tonight's Amazon rant: It is June in Texas. Our building has 7 massive A/C units. Only 2 of them are functional. It's loving bad if you're in the wrong part of the building. I can't imagine how miserable it is for day shift. People are regularly going down to AMCARE to be given ice packs and electrolyte drinks. It's so bad that management are just telling people to relax and not worry about their rates.
