Fireworks have an oxidizer, so fire extinguishers aren't really going to do gently caress all for a pile of fireworks burning. Evacuate the store and call the FD are about it.

And if you call the FD without telling a salaried manager first, boy are you in trouble!

So my former (and possibly future) employer is giving out $1000 sign-on bonuses and is paying $15 minimum for all positions, and one of my former coworkers wrote a FB post about how they should be rewarding their loyal long-term employees instead, not new people. I really wanted to reply "Why would they, they're not having trouble getting you to show up." I didn't because it was honestly the best place I've ever worked, and I only left because I developed a degenerative thing in my foot so I can't stand for long periods. I don't want to burn bridges if I can get a sit-down job there.

My boss just texted me on my day off to ask when my old van had its last PM. The person who has the van could have, I don't know, checked the loving maintenance binder. The only reason I replied is because she has a habit of calling if you don't reply to texts. Multiple times. But she is getting better! I mean, other drivers had to call HR for her various calls. Once a driver told her he couldn't stay late, he had to pick up something at the pharmacy after work. She asked what pharmacy; he later told me he was so surprised he answered her. So she called him back about 10 minutes later to say "you can stay late, they don't close until 6 and it's only a 15 minute drive from your end stop."

My tired muscles could really go for a soak right now, I don't care how many screaming children would be running around the pool.

Truck showed up hella loving late again. But this time I was the opener. Unlike before when I was the closer however, none of the other closers are forklift certified. Meaning I HAD to stay late to finish the load. Its cool that the other guys get to skip out on it and I have to do it plus closing, but when I'm the one opening now the opener has to stay overtime cause the boss didn't schedule anyone who can use a forklift to close. Yeah I know that sounds loving stupid, thats been my job the last year and a half.

You're planning on leaving that job soon, aren't you Leal? Because the obvious answer is to tell your boss "Hahahahaha, suck it!" and go home, but I understand how if you have upcoming plans that could interrupt things.

For the first time in a looooong time, workers may have some (emphasis some) leverage.

i wish the unemployment boost would last into next year when we have our contract negotiations but noooooo "people aren't taking lovely jobs for lovely pay and they aren't allowed to do that!  " and everyone wants to be a punitive shithead about it.

I'm loving the whole worker shortage here at Amazon. Some of the bullshit we had to go through fell to the wayside during the pandemic and it was a nice reprieve. No more metal detectors on the way out, being allowed to bring phones in (though not have them). Now because Amazon's having trouble getting workers they don't want to fire anyone. So now the X-Ray machine is still off, and the metal detectors just act as counters and go off on the 100th person to make them walk through an actually on metal detector just so Loss Prevention can say they're doing their job. And the phones? "No having them out unless you're checking your hours or you have a legit family emergency" used to be fairly enforced compared to now where people whip them out the moment work runs out for a minute. Even better is that they stopped caring about ear buds so a lot of people are actually enjoying themselves listening to music during their shift. And management knows that if they tried to enforce that poo poo on any but the more important stuff (I.e. PIT (forklift) drivers really shouldn't have earbuds in) then nearly half of their workforce will evaporate overnight.

Currently chilling and waiting for a rental, so I'm already in work over an hour early, and been waiting about 20 minutes or so to get the rental van all set up. Then I'm going to need a ride from the mechanic to the rental place, fill out all the paperwork there, and all because my boss insisted on switching my new van for a co-workers garbage van that he never took care of. Bonus points for me calling my boss and explain what was going on, and her telling me I would need to get a rental, then asking me if I knew how to get a rental van, to which I replied to her it's been about a year so no. I mostly said that because I wanted to hear the exasperation in her voice, because I don't think she's handling the stress of being a single manager with no assistance quite well. Secondary bonus points for her not texting my two co-workers on friday, the day I took off last week, but instead emailing both of them to try and get my van from a mechanic 10 miles from my base that she insisted on going to, up to another mechanic a further 15 miles from my base. Neither of them check their email, so now we are 4 days behind where we should be.

Applied for another retail job for lack of anything better. Same poo poo, but a minimum of four dollars more an hour. It would be nice to bail before inventory.

Just got word that the boss denied my change in availability, because "full timers need to be more available than [what I'd changed to]", and when I mentioned that I got that, and wanted to move to part-time, that there were no part time options for the position. Despite having a part time position open for someone who'd flaked a few weeks back. So fuckin done and it hasn't even been six months yet. Gonna be real interesting to find out how they deal with my changing availability to "loving none, I got another job" soon enough.

Starting last week at work we were allowed to not wear masks if we were fully vaccinated. I tried it out for 4 of my shifts and now I caught a cold. I'm going back to wearing a mask.

I have no intention of returning to no-mask-in-public anytime soon, and I'm constantly at odds with my friends about going to restaurants. I have only recently started going into some places for takeout, as opposed to ordering ahead. Masks own.

The sad thing is I had a bad feeling the whole time so I should have kept wearing mine. It's my day off so I've been monitoring my temperature and will probably call out tomorrow.

A mask is not going to do much to prevent you from catching a cold. Gloves and obsessive hand washing will do you better there.
