Not too stupid
Candidate B is management material.

Already has the unnecessary busy work and forms down. Now you just need to make sure they can't actually do the job they are managing and you are goldem.

Ask candidate B to fill out their own questionnaire and also ask to see their updated resume and you'll get back to them when you have time to facilitate the request.

Alternatively, spend an entire day doing paperwork and answer all questions with 'you can shadow me but please don't distract me, I'm very busy and need to concentrate, thank you'.

Candidate B showed real initiative offering to be a nosy gently caress who contributes nothing and is going to get hired as your direct supervisor. Sorry op.

Dumb poo poo my work has done lately: advised me in writing that they would pay me a bonus for being rad as gently caress, with a dollar amount, on July 4th (not a holiday in nz), and then just… not do that. And continue to not do that after me asking about it twice.

Rude, IMO

Gonna ask again? Not sure you have much leverage here. "Rad as gently caress"sounds pretty ambiguous. Are they claiming you're not rad?

I’m also in NZ and why work is constantly calling me into the managers office to ask me to work extra shifts or shifts in a different location. It’s generally a sit down meeting to iron out the details and make sure I’m available.

The changes never happen. Each roster is exactly the same.

Hey, gang! Today's my last day of at 7-Eleven!



The other day a customer came in and shouted FIVE! TEN! TWENTY! TWENTY-FIVE! I loving hate you all! I'll loving kill you all!

But then he went about shopping like normal, just occasionally shouting gently caress I loving HATE YOU I'LL KILL YOU. When he got to the register, he was super calm and said, "I'm very sorry about that, man. Can I get some light-blue Spirits?" and was super cordial and one of the most had-his-poo poo-together customers of the day.

I wish more customers were like screaming murder man :(

When I worked in retail one of my regulars was an Indian guy with a compulsive tick, he would swear loudly at random, you always knew where he was in store because you’d be working away and suddenly gently caress! would burst out of a random aisle.

One day I was standing near the front door talking with the area manager and he walked in. The AM greeted him, he popped a finger up and screamed “gently caress you princess” and carried on into the store.

Good times.

“Rad as gently caress” is the short version of “I pitched a payrise because I am essential to the business, the market for my position is paying at least $10k more than I’m getting, they absolutely could not replace me at my level of skill and experience for this salary and they still can’t squeeze an increase out of the budget but here’s an act of good faith to try to stop me selling my labour elsewhere”.
The business is a brewery. They have one brewer, and it’s me. Since I came on the quality and consistency of the beer has skyrocketed, we’re winning awards that get us national distribution in large quantities, industry recognition and beer nerd followers. It’s also not a great look to underpay a woman in a male dominated industry, but hey we’re not about gender here.

I did actually get the payment today, two days after I replied to the original email with a “hey just to let you know I’m still waiting on that July 4th payment” and a cheeky CC of the other business owners.

I don’t actually want to leave, I like the business and the vibe and the people, but I do want them to recognise what I’m bringing to the table, and compensate me accordingly.

If you asked for a raise, and they countered with a bonus and "well see about next year" type of language that's already time to start preparing your resume. But, hey, if the bonus is basically a raise to that pay level for this year you can just kick the can a bit while putting out feelers.

If they shafted you on that promised bonus? It's time to not only brush up your resume but start aggressively job hunting.

Ahhh. When I was working for a teaching hospital, one of the cardiology fellows had Tourette syndrome. The first time I typed him I immediately went and asked my boss what was up, because while he didn't cuss there would sometimes be 10-15 seconds of a mix between old school Scooby Doo giggling and Muttley hissing. The guy was a real sweetheart though, never lovely to us and didn't use a cell phone to dictate.

Did you know products made in China, shipped to Thailand, assembled in Thailand, and shipped out of Thailand, are still Chinese?

I did.

Everyone else seems to be really angry that we have to pay 25% tariff on these Chinese goods we got from Thailand. Even though the vendor bill says Thailand but in the bottom left corner is says "Country of Origin: China"

Good job vendor.

Bad job *checks notes* owners...

Good job lawyer for pointing out trans shipping is illegalbad job owner for pouring anot not being allowed to do a fraud.
