Customers man. Just wanna bitch about them and I'm not even a mailman. Funny thing is until Amazon truly takes over and starts mailing jury summons and certified documents (lol) it's not like they can threaten to go elsewhere. You're a custy for life.

Stop saying your taxes pay my salary. That hasn't been true in decades. Also if that's true then why do we still deliver during gov shutdowns? Yes buying products does pay my wage, but you're getting something too.

Why do you guys throw adhesive flaps on the ground? I get it. You probably aren't looking at garbage as you toss them. Why not? Also stop placing your kiosk receipt on the kiosk. Where is your shame?

You are the current resident. Yes it's junk but like you companies pay our salaries so we owe them a service. Saying no junk mail means the same as no bills. They have to deliver it. Throw it away. It takes less effort than writing some passive aggressive remark on the envelope for the carrier. Also I bet when you throw away stuff at home you find a way to get it in the trash. Then again maybe you're just a nose picking disgusto.

Also stop lying and saying you've been waiting on a lock change for 2 weeks. It's always 2 weeks. Yet I check my box every morning and this is the first I've seen of your request. Maybe whoever did the writeup forgot but it happens so often there must be something on reddit. Just say two weeks and they'll get right on it. Thank you fuck you bye.

Put in request for NYE off in February, still denied. Found out several other people have it off and they didn’t even ask for it off.

I’m working until 2am and found out tonight the other two bars nearby are closing at 10pm. Kill me.

There’s myself and one other person on..its NYE and they leave at 11pm.


What a fucking joke.

If only we could all get paid to sit at home. I'm pulling in half and I'm sitting on a stool in the supply room so we all face our own struggles.

Unfortunately.

We had a staff meeting yesterday and our boss yelled at us and swore (cussed) for an hour straight, in front of co-workers children and all.

Action is being taken.

To get inside you have to go through a second set of doors. On that door was a giant poster advertising passports. Been there as long as I've been. Last week I had to take it off because they wanted a new one up. Problem is it wasn't held up with tape. Nope it was one of those peel and stick posters. I didn't have anything to really get it off, so I started scraping it with a razor blade as customers came in and gave such witty quips.

That doesn't look like fun!

There's gotta be an easier way than that.

First of all, fuck off. Second, you got goo gone in your purse? No? You're not talking you're walking. I bought some goo gone the next day, not that it really helped much. I basically had already loosened the pickle jar at that point. Anyways the old poster said "(c) 2006" so I figured the new one simply said "(c) 2019" since it looked the exact same. Some features in office do have a up/down by date, so I figured that's all. NOPE! Same damn poster. So why did I waste my time? It wasn't like the other one was chipped or anything.

SIGH.

I did learn something though. Usually when I'd want to clean the upper windows in that entryway I'd put a note on the door to use the other door (I'm on a ladder at this point) and people are always kinda thrown for a loop. During my scraping session I simply put an orange cone in front of the door. That seemed to give people a clue a lot better than my chicken scratch on a piece of paper. Obviously the real lesson.

3 words for ya....Nail polish remover.

System why was your boss yelling at you? How is lack of proper staffing your fault?

It all rolls downhill. I've never met a boss where the skeleton crew is ever justification for our failures.

"Just get it done"

Ugh.

Being a wage slave really sucks man. My job isn't difficult or super stressful. In fact, outside of mowing and doing yard work in the heat (our grass looks like shit lmao) I don't break too much of a sweat... but the never-ending onslaught of showing up every day to just eke out a living is awful. Obviously since I'm a guy I can't just open an instagram and take pictures of my feet for sweet patreon bucks, so I'm stuck in this loop till retirement... assuming there's anything in the coffers at that point. On the plus side by time we get there the West may have collapsed so like a bomb team that fucked up a wire it becomes someone else's problem at that point.

I fucking LOVE the line about taking pictures of your feet for a living. Fucking true.

Welcome to adult hood of the working man. Welcome to the hamster cycle. You can never leave. The wheel never stops.

Had a new job set in stone, already worked shifts there on my days off from current work (so was working 7 nights). It was a breeze compared to my work as it’s a much smaller club (EG they have 6 poker machines, my work has 150)

I had to see my current boss anyway so I asked her about how much notice i’d need to give & I had my resignation letter typed up (glad I didn’t hand it in!).
The CEO congratulated me on the job (awkward).

Then they renege at the last possible second because they still can’t decide on having one or two bar managers, I applied in November...it’s February.

That sucks man. So your current place knew you were gonna quit? Is that gonna jeopardize anything about your current situation?

Nah, They were surprisingly understanding about it, there’s so many people leaving my work atm (due to aforementioned staff meeting) I think they were just relieved they didn’t need to cover my shifts.

Morale is in the toilet. I'm fine with it but people are getting DISGRUNTLED.

Was gonna do a follow-up here, but smart thinking. Best not waste it outside of Fan Fic.

So every so often I like to check out my work's google reviews. It's nowhere near a 5.0 obviously, but for a post office it's about as good as it gets going by the neighboring ones. But hilariously enough all the bad/1 * reviews are on the same person. Clearly no one monitors that because it's impossible not to know who they are referencing since it's listed as [insert race lady] here. LMAO.

<_< Yeah I only troll it to see if I'm mentioned.

I’m so over my work especially when I was 90% out the door, too much BS to deal with when your boss just yells/swears at all the staff and tells us we’re all replaceable (then gets annoyed having to fill shifts as a lot of people left after said meeting).

br]
This is tonight alone:

- a guy so intoxicated he had to be helped onto the bus.

This is in the space of 20 mins
- a couple had a full domestic and started hitting each other swearing profusely, pushed the supervisor.
- Lady got kicked out for being intoxicated/had a flask stashed on her.
- A guy got into an argument and started blowing up at the other guy (other guy calm as Hindu cow) then said “you don’t know who he is!” when I told him he had to leave because you can’t just start swearing at other patrons through the club.

It’s sad just how desensitised I’ve become to this sort of behaviour, that I barely react when it’s not acceptable behaviour whatsoever but nothing ever gets done about it.

Me: (cuts someone off)
“F**k you you dog c*nt I’ll kick your f**king head in in the parking lot and kill your whole family”
“Ok mate, have a good night”

Gotta love those corporate higher up visits.

Why ask us how many people are doing certain jobs? We all know you won't be fixing an understaffing issue, so why act coy about the reason we don't follow process.

I just wanna empty trash and dust. Leave me be lol.

We got a new system. Second one in two years. I've been working 14 hour days trying to keep up and failing miserably, so I might have snapped today at work. And by 'might have', I mean I had a small yet excitable fit talking to my boss about my frustrations. She was unimpressed, so I got written up.

Someone tell me why I have to do a process that takes twice as long when I've found an easier way that produces the same results? How is that helping with efficiency?

Is there any real consequence to being written up?

I found out from payroll the other month that our company currently has a firing freeze. Thought I misheard at first, as I've never heard of such a thing. Must've maybe meant hiring freeze? But then he clarified. Definitely firing freeze.

Then over the past few weeks, as I've been seemingly the only one to escalate a $12M problem, I've been learning that there are no consequences for boo-boos of that magnitude apparently.

So, in other words, it's become really hard to give a fuck at work. Might start dabbling with gummies during cubicle hours.

You know maybe taking a gummy at work is what I need to not give a fuck since no one else seems to. Might make me relax.

I've been at my job for 25 plus years and just found out my boss has sold out. Get to meet the new owner next week.

He didn't sell out; he cashed in!

Helped open a restaurant in Dayton, Ohio that had high buzz and won multiple local awards. Found out we’re closing because the owner got a new gf that does real estate and he’s tired of the restaurant. He’s filthy rich so it doesn’t matter. We’re all scrambling to find new jobs in between working our remaining few months since we can’t afford to quit and our boss is posting pictures on social media of him and his girlfriend vacationing all over the country. God I’m ready for the fucking guillotines.


On a positive note though, I was on these forums when I was maybe 12 or 13 so 2006-2007 period, maybe a bit before. rad reminded me of them and said he had been active again and showed me the link. I’ve been really down about my job situation the last week or so since I’ve been active here and it’s really been my escape so thanks guys. I wish I could remember my name way back then but too much weed and psychedelics killed my memory.

LMAO I thought you WERE rad since I think he's from that area. For whatever reason I thought he just redid his account. <_<
