Welcome to our Friday ritual! I want to hear about all the bullshit you had to put up with last week! This week, I’m setting a reminder to make this post again on Friday!

    Had the longest truck to unload, followed on my next shift by the smallest truck to unload. This company is fucking WINNING at just-in-time logistics.

    Communication still sucks and I might have to beat management over the head with proposals.

    I just wish I could find work. Lost my last job to bullshit reasons like 8 months ago and I can barely get an interview even though I’m applying all over the place and a bunch of these places are supposedly urgently hiring. If I can’t find work within the next two months my wife and I are fucked and it is massively stressing me out

    Yesterday someone from the executive office came in to the sales department with a printout of a graphic design that was two variants of a moon and stars with a circle around them. Oh black outline, white fill, black crescent moon and stars, and the other inverted same design.

    He asked everyone in my office what first came to mind. I said the first thing I thought of was yin and yang, of course the IT guy said “light mode and dark mode” other answers were similarly innocuous.

    He mentioned that someone above him (who could only be the owner) said he thought it might be “problematic”. So I had to satisfy my curiosity and asked why.

    The owner said “it looks Islamic”. Said owner is in the Epstein files.

    For anyone curious as of the time of me asking, 21 of us answered anything but “looks Islamic”.

    My boss literally did a free-palestine moment lmao.

    Work sucked, I hate my job. Interviewing at 2 other places…one will be easier and less money, one will be the same suck but more money. I hope I get the easier one I’m burnt out and either one will pay me enough to live so whatever

      My pretax income is close to $90k, after tax and health insurance it’s closer to $50k, after rent it’s about $30k

      Groceries alone cost my family about $1500/mo minimum (we usually eat one meal a day) so real expendable income is closer to $12k at the end of the year.

      I also have one of the highest paying jobs in my area …

  • Manager told us this week that client numbers will go up for our team because we have been present so much and are doing well. Other teams with more sick leaves who have not done so well now get to move some of their clients to us so we too can start doing poorly. Great.

    Unproductive. No new beanis photoshoops. I did manage to fix an electric fly swatter so I’m halfway to having a very weak stun toy for pranking myself with.

    Doing my part to end the empire. catgirl-salute

    Starting a new job on monday and so incredibly nervous I’m having trouble sleeping + stress nightmares. I don’t like the career I’m in and I keep thinking that I’m going to get fired five minutes after I walk through the door (I lasted at my previous job doing the same sort of work for two years). Also I can’t get hired to do anything else.
