Is it reasonable to expect someone to slaughter 35-55+ beetles an hour? I feel like that’s a lot and I’m not sure if it’s a realistic expectation for my employer to have. I like doing it but it’s starting to take a toll I fear

Can we have the room? I have been feeling a certain degree of hostility towards me lately. You and I are chill, right?

Question! Alright so answer me this, is it sexist for my boss to ask me not to wear heels just because he is insecure about being a shorter man?

 Like I get it I’m taller already at 5′ 9″ but still it makes me upset when he makes comments every single time I wear heels. He will passively says something like he did this morning while I’m making a cup of coffee and he is at the fridge like “Oh Melissa I really wish you wouldn’t wear those shoes.”. Like no, I am going to wear my shoes because I like them and they go with my outfit, I’m not wearing them for you, I’m not worried about whether my shoes make you feel better about yourself or not.

True Story

This morning was my first time back on register for a full shift. As in, not doing anything anything else. No throbacks, no stocking the shelves, no cleaning, no self scan; only register. Last night when I came in to help my coworker watch self scan until we closed, my supervisor told everyone that if we see anyone with more than 2 packs of toilet paper, paper towels, or water to take one away. There was a limit of 2 per customer/household. As there should be right now. So this morning when the morning supervisor came in, the head cashier specifically that always seems to hide in the back and somehow avoids getting out of doing her own job, I asked her about the limits. If there was anything I should know other than those three items that had a limit of 2. Because, as far as I knew, the rule had only been implemented the night before when I was first told about it. Her response? "WHAT?? Don't you go saying that to customers! We're here to make the company money, people can buy as many damn packs of toilet paper as they want! Where the hell did you hear that? Don't you go lying to customers like that!!!" Spoiler - surprise surprise, within the first 15 minutes of the store opening all of the toilet papers were gone. The paper towels followed shortly after and by the end of the hour one brand of waters was completely wiped out. A different supervisor who came in to cover her butt had to make multiple announcements a few hours later telling customers that if they were lucky enough to be buying toilet paper, paper towels, or packs/gallons of water that there was a limit of two per customer and to be respectful and courteous of others during this time. The damn head cashier was more worried about making bucks for our company and refusing to say no to customers because god forbid they hate her (another spoiler, I know of a few customers who already do anyway) than actually taking the steps to make sure people who actually NEEDED this crap had something.

Work rant

Talented developers that are specialized for certain types of data analysis don't grow on trees. Everyone will need to learn new things for almost every new job. Not getting enough matching candidates to compare isn't a great reason to reject the one you got off there aren't other red flags. Don't make perfect the enemy of good.

When I'm old and want to be less stressed (retirement won't exist by the time I get there, lol), I'm going to go back to being a worker. I'll go be a developer, sit on a corner, write code, and not care if anyone thinks our recruiter is just hiding qualified applicants from us or not.

Boss problems

I'm a site supervisor for a Security team.

Hiring and Firing is above my pay grade though...

I am SEVERELY UNDERSTAFFED!!

In 3 weeks there will only be only 2 people running a 24/7 site!?!? (But corporate said we are not allowed to work more than 64 hours, literally mathematically impossible task for a 24/7 with just 2 teammates. )

Send help in forms of applications for employment!!

So my Boss told me there was a million other things I could be doing. She wanted to know if I needed a list... Well, other then waiting on customers and doing my regular maintenance, I dusted off 3 shelves and busted my ass last night. But the other 3rd shift person and most of day shift doesn't do a damn t thing. Thanks.
