My store manager's name is Jim. He's a shithead, nobody likes him. When two people are having a conversation while working (we do logistics for a hardware store) he descends upon us with “stop talking and start working,” even though we're working all the time. The other day, my supervisor was in a foul mood and heard me and a coworker talking while we worked. She got onto us for talking “instead” of working, and I jokingly responded with “ok Jim.” Then we continued working, nothing was said past that point. Today I was written up for insubordination. The report says that after I said “ok Jim,” I continued to be belligerent and argue. Which is a blatant lie, this never happened. I don't have to patience or energy to argue over something so small. It then went on to say that the work I did was inaccurate, which I…

What a crazy time we live in
Ive copied this comment from a previous thread here. under the logic that Ukrainian workers arent ever going to be able to self organize for a better life under the conditions they have now and getting them to safety is of the utmost importance. We dont like making exceptions to rules generally, but well humanity comes before rulesets. Message as follows. Dear Ukrainians! I heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia backed trolls) that polish border is closed. It's a lie. +++AS OF NOW MALES AGED 18-60 ARE NOT ABLE TO LEAVE THE BORDERS DUE TO MARTIAL LAW. ANYONE ELSE IS OK AS FAR AS I KNOW.+++ If you seek asylum – go towards polish border. We are ready for your arrival. We have reception points ready at the border where you can find shelter, food, medical and legal aid. Polish government…

Meat head truck
Anyone have any fresh ideas for starting a new business that you might have ever had? No wrong answers. Just post them. I want to start a meathead focused food truck and make the rounds at all the local gyms. Selling protein shakes and healthy(ish) meals when people walk out of the house of gains. Perhaps someone will get an idea and escape their 9-5 hell

That time they forgot I don’t work there
I teach music, so I worked for music schools in all different places at once— lessons here on Mondays, lessons there on Tuesdays. The life of a new music teacher. I lived in the city, but commuted to suburbs for the schools. The school furthest away from me was a three hour commute each way, but it paid the best hourly rate and initially offered me the most hours, so I gave it a shot. What’s six hours travel time if it means I have groceries covered? I finished the school year and long story short it wasn’t fun, so I didn’t renew my contract in April, had a little goodbye party with all my coworkers and students, and enjoyed my summer. In September I happily started my first day back at a different school, one that gave me full time hours and a half decent salary. I didn’t need…
If I can't just send my resume and click one button, then forget it. I'm tired of the assessments. I had a recruiter call me and say, Hey! We would love to interview after you finish the assessment. (Which turned out to he 200 questions.) I ghosted that employer. I'm not going to take an SAT test.. I accepted another offer. Good day.
