Antiwork

I had this idea that I shared with some production bosses 3 weeks ago about cross training and having back up people for production positions just in case someone was late, sick, etc. A week later a boss who works under these bosses ups and quits forcing one of the day bosses, one of them I talked to, to come in and cover the guy who up and left. None of them brought up the conversation I had with them. Kinda feels satisfying. Am I wrong to think this way?

-Coworker was killed (possible suicide) and decided that locking his account was more important than letting everyone know. -Manager emailed me to complain about my two weeks vacation request put in 3 months ago and if I can wait another 6 months

My birthday is this weekend and I don’t want to work that day. I have a part time job that’s only a few weekends a month and usually my boss asks me what weekends I want to work at the beginning of the month. I had been planning to ask for my birthday off so I could actually have it off for this year and do something fun. But she didn’t ask me this month and scheduled me on my birthday. I really want to call in that morning, but I’m feeling guilty now because several of the employees got Covid this week and we don’t have a ton of employees. However this is a small place and typically only 1 or 2 people are scheduled a day. So my coworker would probably be fine? I don’t know. Should I call in or suck it up and go into work?…

Not so fun fact: A very large (160+ corporate stores) (1000+ when you add the franchisee’s) folks with tenure with this particular organization are resigning. Hmmm I wonder why. This particular company did over 2.1 billion in sales last year. I’m one of them. Well just as soon as my new offer comes in with another organization.

Just two weeks ago i tried to force a mitre off of some gutter ( I work for a gutter company) well it came loose but I put too much force into it and went down with it right onto a metal fence. I'm not sure how far the drop was but it took a 28 foot ladder to get up there and it was such a long fall I actually had time to think about tucking my arms instead of holding them out and breaking them. My grandma and wife asked my boss why we don't use harnesses and his response was because we don't like them since they get tangled up but to be honest it's set up in a way that you could never use a harness due to the insane amount of worked forced on us, half the time we have to skip lunch. Im not…
