Welcome to our Friday ritual! I want to hear about all the bullshit you had to put up with last week! This week, it was April vacation. It’s like a vacation for me, but I still have to show up to work!
Welcome to our Friday ritual! I want to hear about all the bullshit you had to put up with last week! This week, it was April vacation. It’s like a vacation for me, but I still have to show up to work!
At some point I’m going to have to display it in my bosses’ faces how none of them have really formulated what the expectations and standards are, and that I can train people better than they can.
If I have to print out a store index, as well as an overview of the department’s functionality and a list of best practices, that will be something no one at this sizable company has ever done.
Something something art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions.
I’ve told my boss he’s a bumbling idiot for years and so far it’s just kept getting me raises and promotions lol
Make em believe it, make em reliant, make yourself irreplaceable, build a self destruct plan
Also make sure if they start hiring juniors that you get to them first. You don’t want anyone thinking it’s a good idea to go around rocking the boat.
After about a year at this job I hve been in the department the longest. I am not in the 2nd half of my life expectancy, but I’m the 2nd oldest on the team. They’re doing the whole employee churn strategy, and the bosses are always “too busy” to figure out a way to do anything better.
I’m bored but I don’t hate it, there’s a little more to learn and a lot more flexing to do, before I put out applications again, because this is not a company I want a lasting association with.
Sounds like you work at my company lol. I started when they were new. Employee number 4, now we have about 30 and have had about 50 people.
I made sure as soon as I started to build comraderie with everyone and it legitimately changed the dynamic early on. It’s still a small businesses tyrant situation, but the emperor wears no clothes and is afraid of us lol. I’ve trained up basically everyone and the entire management team is in my pocket.
It’s still a stressful job due to the nature of the work and the fact that we still try to do the best we can, but if it ever crosses that line it’s all brakes.
The company I work at is a chain that is not new and not small.
Most places I’ve worked have been small businesses with just 1 location, but they had less turnover than the location I’m working for.
