Long, long work day.

I get a text at 8am telling me to open the store (at 10am). My manager is lucky as all hell that I was woken up by the text.

I get to work, there's a note.

"Sweep & Mop, go to the bank, change some light bulbs, and unload the shipment."

That doesn't sound so bad, but a shipment is 50-60 boxes with a rough average of 20 product each.

He forgot to mention that he didn't make a cycle count sheet, make a deposit envelope, or fill out any of the paperwork that he was supposed to yesterday.

So I got to do it today.


...Fuck.

Handle customers...

Which don't come in...

....Yeah. Not saying that my job is tough comparative to your guys', it's really not. But shipments are still no fun by yourself with no music >:|
 
So, you're basically told to do the other guys work, right? Was that in your contract?

The other guy is my manager. The only other guy, really.

If it were to become a serious problem, I could complain to the higher-ups, but they view managers as employees, and associates as disposable money-suckers.
 
So, you pretty much don't have a choice but to swallow it. That sucks :sleep:
 
So basically your just the bitch of the whole operation. Well that just sucks balls. I feel for you man.. really I do. I've had jobs like that before and thankfully my current one is not like that. It also does not hurt that I'm at the (relatively speaking of course) top of the food chain.

Or extreme luck extremely lucky :glare:

I am extremely confident, speak three languages, dress the dress (walk the walk, talk the talk), and am just plain awesome, yet it took me over a year to find a job at all.

Uhh...a lot? It's not good pay, and it's really stressful (schedule? What's that?), but I'm alive and well.

S'about right. Hopefully. :unsure:

I want to be a public school teacher, but positions don't come by too often nowadays :unsure:

Doesn't sound like it ;)

$8.55/hr to flip burgers (here at least).
 
Dude I'd prefer to work as a slave than to be in a McDonald's kitchen.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!
