NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:Remember the store manager that said he'd get back to me after Christmas about my promotion? Guess who retired today and left the store forever before I even clocked in. I'm starting to think that this is some Harry Potter type poo poo happening to you, that you need to be kept as a janitor or something terrible will happen, so terrible that people are willing to quit rather than promote you.

Regarding phonechat, at my old job, it got so bad that I actually changed my voicemail message to "Hi, this is Agents are GO!, if you are calling me to come into work, or trying to get me to pick up a shift for you, the answer is no. Otherwise, please leave a message." Fuckers listened to that message and still left messages asking me to come in or switch shifts.

Had to resign from my job today, because I'm the doctor couldn't let me go back with no restrictions and my medical leave ran out. On one hand, not having to expose myself to COVID19 is a silver lining, but I've been working since I was 16 and I don't like this uncertainty.

As someone who worked 3rds for 20 years, first shift is goddamn useless. Everywhere I worked, 1st shift consisted of management and all the lazy-rear end old people who had been there forever. Management always listened to them rather than us because they were in proximity to then constantly.

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.

Cowslips Warren posted:I remember reading a study about why kids, ranging from toddlers to teens, act out when they get home from school/daycare: after a full day of being as good as possible, they snap and need to vent, and for kids, that usually is a tantrum or being short and snappy. Hells bells, are you me? When I was working and caring for my mom, she did the exact same thing. I love my mom, but that poo poo drove me nuts.

Eric the Mauve posted:It's about the kind of people they invariably are. The people that have nothing better to do than go through the whole loving store hunting for a few out-of-date items are incessantly annoying in a hundred ways and treat retail workers with not a scant trace of basic human dignity. The Lord Bude posted:Yeah any time you can deny people like that what they want and get them out of the store empty handed it's a massive win.  You don't just do it for yourself, you do it for all the customer service employees they've abused in their lives.

Star Man posted:For the two months I was an enumerator with the US Census, you were paid for the time spent commuting to a canvassing site or to training and commuting away from it, and paid mileage if it was your own vehicle. I wish everything was like that. Dude, you're failing the Voight-Kampf test. Anyhow, my first job was working at a Chinese restaurant, and the restaurants music was on a multi-cd player, that wasn't on shuffle, so I could eventually know what time it was by what muzak was playing.. It was mostly generic "Asian instrumental muzak." Except around Christmas, when it was Christmas muzak - Asian instrumental Christmas muzak.

An analogy: I am good with computers. Dicking around with computers in any capacity is enjoyable and effortless for me, even in an employment-related context. I know people who are not good with computers. Having to interact with computers in any capacity is a stressful and unpleasant experience for them, especially in job-related contexts. Even if they've mastered what they need to know to get through those interactions without issues, it's still an unpleasant experience for them. Some people - like myself - are not good with customers. I can do it, but it's always an unpleasant experience.

No, I didn't go in, was driving by, but...it was all for Thanksgiving, wasn't it. How many people buying turkey the day of.
