Sure, sure. It all sounds very uncomfortable.
Now, though, the narrative isn’t “this guy was upset that we didn’t know what to do and he refused to pay our fees.” It’s “remember that time that guy ripped up his mom’s check in front of us?” The teller and her manager probably bonded over it.
Later, embellishments will include spittle, heel turns. Etc.
But you do you man. I’ve been there and done some of that.
That shit drives me fucking crazy. Litter in general drives me crazy but that shit right there pushes my button.Quote:

The flashing brake lights you see predominately on WRX's and Nissan econoboxes. Is Walmart having a sale on these kits?
Police outfitted SUVs do that here in Massachusetts. I asked about it and he told me they can’t figure out how to make it go away once the electronics are installed despite having multiple meetings about it. Too bad it only seems to affect the brake lights.
I work part time at an outdoor store, which right now in winter is a cross-country ski shop. Guy walks in with his wife and two kids. He’s wearing a black sweatshirt, cowboy hat, cowboy boots. The black sweatshirt has writing on the front that is like a dictionary quote with big “gun control” (guhnkuhn-trohl), and some finer print that I can’t read below it. On his hip is a ginormous handgun of some kind in a holster, and also in the middle of his back is a big knife in some other sort of holster. The son is wearing camo, the daughter’s in all black. The wife is in all black as well.
This happens pretty often in Eastern Washington where I live. This Second Amendment shit is their whole existence.
I often joke that I fly fish, but I sure as shit don’t walk around with my waders on.
When you're self employed and the cell networks are down all morning and you can't make or receive any business calls. That's annoying.
Corporations: "DoN'T BlaME uS! TheRE'S a [fill in the blank job] ShoRTaGE!!!
Also those same corporations: [use overly aggresive ATS, ie auto-resume shredders] [demand wild unicorn list of job requirements that nobody could possibly fulfill] [receive thousands of applications, reject 100% of them, repost the same mythical jobs repeatedly]
Then Boomers be like: "NoBoDY waNTS to WoRK theSE daYS! Lazy millennials!"
Seriously, though. This one's starting to piss me off. Industry I'm in (and everyone else) is proclaiming to the public that they have labor shortages across the board (including my job), but behind the curtain I was straight up told in an interview that the applicant pool is (supposedly) very competitive and it's an employer's market now. Yet many of those supposed positions remain unfilled. WTF is going on? I think these assholes be lying. Keeps profits higher if they can keep work force artificially low. These days making each employee do the work of like three people. Then tell the world that there's supposedly a labor shortage. Hmmm.....
Those kinds of people are afraid of their own shadows and usually don't know how to properly handle firearms or their emotions for that matter. Wanna-be cowboy family that just sold their 2000 sq ft home in Orange County by the sounds of it and now has to compensate for his tiny pecker.Quote:

That sounds about right Montuky. It is as if these corporations don't understand (more likely attempting to manipulate) that it is a labor market.
I'm in a different space, but throughout my career I've seen top paying employers succeed and the rest fail or struggle. I've always told my employees this as well. I really think it is underrated job advise to chase the positions that pay the best. There are so many instances of 2 people doing essentially the same think for widely disparate compensation.
And I've heard a lot of talking heads speak to the "stickness" of inflation being in large part due to wage increases. Too many employees overlook their pricing power. If your boss hasn't given you a 10% raise in the last year or so "just because" you need to examine that. If you straight get hold it ain't happening, start looking elsewhere.
Come on over. https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...ntiwork/page23Quote:

You can get wifi from a shoe on the side of the road these days.
But I get it, much easier to say "Sorry boss, I couldn't make sales projections this month because the cell network was down for two hours on a Thursday. When can I expect to get my last paycheck?"
This isn't the "shit that is crippling" thread, this is the "shit that annoys you" thread. For someone whose job on the road and who makes cell calls frequently, I think the cell network being down qualifies as annoying, even if there are workarounds for those times where you are not actually, ya know, on the road.
I've been noticing these quite a bit lately and assumed there must be a law requiring it for new vehicles or something. Seems like an odd thing to add after market, then again people do lots of customizations to cars that I don't understand.Quote:

Pretty sure GL is an indy rep working for himself. And having been on the road in sales, no cell coverage these days is absolute hell. You're working as you're driving to the next appt. Today's pace and expectations really just suck.
Working while driving. Doing anything but driving while driving.

SERIOUSLY! The lack of a raise or even a small one is practically a pay DECREASE these days with the rampant inflation these last few years. Wife and I make ok money now but feel broker than ever since a dollar doesn't go as far. Whole world's feeling the same thing.Quote:
