Month: July 2023

I worked at a small business for a few years and left. When I heard the old manager was leaving I decided to ring up the owner and asked if he needed a manager. We sat down and he gave me a long line of bull shit about how he didn't really want anyone to be a manager, and that he'll take on the responsibilities of the role. a few months later nothing was being managed as the owner was sitting at home doing nothing. I started telling my coworkers what to do, as I had 6 years experience and they had around 2 each. the owner gets wind of this and sits me down to tell me he's making one of the newer employees the manager because “they're always here on time, they're always working hard, and they've never left me” I fought the urge to quit, but heard…

I was in complete shock. I told them that…

So ever since return to office last year I have been bringing in lunch to work to save money and eat healthier than pre-covid. One of my issues before for not bringing food is some days I would forget to take it in the morning. So now I put in my calendar and forcefully remember to take food certain days and usually take 2-3 days worth of lunch and leave it in the fridge overnight. I have been doing this for the last 14 months with 0 issues. Today when I went to get my lunch my bag was missing. It was an ordinary plain white bag but had 2 containers of food inside. I’m inclined to to believe someone took it accidentally but it bothers me that I don’t know if it was an accident or intentional. I thought may be the cleaners threw it out but there was…

So we need a person who can do sales and has experience in that. But we can't hire a new person, because of the budget limits and etc. So I was asked by my manager to choose one of the existing workers, that are doing some other job in a different department – to fire em, in order to hire a new person. Not sure how to act or react
