Jeez... and you still call that a good week...?

I don't know what to say... All those losses at once, locked out... That's terrible...

Really do hope the cool-old-lady will be ok. Definitely has determination in spades sounds like.

You've definitely earned the vacations, that's for sure. I hope you enjoy them to the fullest. Good luck with everything dude.

Yeah that was a good week had way worse ones before. Grandma had surgery this morning and tried leaving the hospital because she wanted to go back to work today. They won't let her leave till tomorrow though. like I said she is crazy.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Not sure if I have to work yet will find out in 5 hours. If not I will spend the day trying to find my snake that escaped from her cage and hopefully recording some guitar playing video and maybe some accordion if you people are lucky haha. Have a wonderful turkey day ...or ham if you hate turkey's

My entry for this journal is simple.

GRRR + OWL!!!


I hate Mooly Mart!!!! Especially the current trio of managers I have the pleasure of dealing with daily -_- I have been pulled into the managers office TWICE over the past week and a half. Why? Because GOD FORBID I DO WHAT I AM TOLD BY THESE PEOPLE! I've been placed in a 100% no win situation. And for some reason, the one manager is trying REALLY hard to convince me that I don't like my job. The job itself is fine. I basically just piss around with the overstock that is sent back each night after shelves are stocked. Each department has their own location for their overstock. All I have to do is place a label on it, stick it in the bin it belongs, and scan it into the system with the correct count (this is called 'binning' lol). SO F*CKIN' EASY! Sure, parts of it are tedious as f*ck and time consuming(thanks to retarded rules with certain types of overstock), and certain things require mass amounts of muscle to move(200 bags of 50lb dog food anyone?), but I am more than up for the "challenge". If the damn managers would LET me DO my damn job it would be LOVELY. Instead, two of the three harass the crap out of me about organizing the back room where we keep a lot of our extra freight on skids or whatever.
Lately, that room is a total mess because my store is currently undergoing a cosmetic upgrade. New paint on the walls, new tile on the floor, ungodly bright blue registers with touch-screen monitors that are nowhere near as cool looking as the black ones in the Rapids Mooly, spiffy new bathrooms, and new stuff in the bakery, deli and photo lab areas. And just where do they keep a lot of the waiting-to-be-used tile and yet-to-be-installed new crap? IN THE BACK ROOM! They have trailers for a lot of the crap but they are too stubborn to get another for the remainder of the crap(crap crap CRAP!), so it sits in our way and makes it a b*tch to move anything around back there @_@
And another headache added is the fact that for some reason we have been getting a shit-ton of freight lately. We had a record streak of 2 trucks a night for 5 days straight. Unheard of even during Christmas And it was a holiday weekend, and my "team" was only at 50% cuz the third manager likes people that kiss her ass so 2 of my "team" got the week off...

Anyway...Manager #1 is a total retard with no short term memory (or ANY memory..) EVERY 5 to 10 minutes he's on my ass asking if the backroom is looking good yet (I have timed him...it really is every 5 to 10 minutes @_@) He even does this when he knows I haven't even made it to the back room because HE told me to help 2nd shift with their job. I usually end up having to finish their job even after they leave. Usually takes about 2 hours on average out of my night. THEN, I get to the back room where he tells me to do this and that with every skid back there, and that he is going to take certain skids that are scanned already out to the floor cuz "it will all go" Now, when a skid in the back is scanned into the system, every item on that skid has it's own label and count stuck to a count sheet on the front of the skid after it is wrapped in shrink wrap. If he takes it out and removes even just one box, I HAVE to make a whole new count sheet and rewrap the damn thing. Some skids take half and hour to do. And since this manager is so stupid (and possibly blind...) he takes out skid after skid....just to bring them back a little later with a box or two missing @_@ So then I have to fix all of them while babysitting the stockers when they bring their overstock back so they don't park their sh*it in the wrong spot, or mess up something I have already done (which they do all the time cuz they are all retarded as well) By the time I finish messing with skids that were taken out, and get the back room organized....it's usually about 7am(my shift ends at 8am)...when all of first shift shows up...and since manager #1 had me in the backroom pissing with skids that HE took out for no reason, I have pretty much nothing scanned into the system from the night. So then first shift managers see that I did NOTHING because manager #1 seems to always forget that he told me to do other things besides my job -_-

Manager #2 is similar, only she makes me do even more shit. She has me do the skid thing like manager #1, but she makes me SWEEP THE FLOOR! We have a maintenance crew for that kind of thing, but she always says that I have to do it She also makes me bundle up break-pack boxes. These boxes are used mainly for the special-rules freight I half-assed kinda mentioned earlier. We have to bundle them up in counts of 25 and send them back to the distribution center for credit. We get about 400 in a night, and there are usually about 3 days worth of them sitting around at any given time. Day shift normally bundles them...but manager #2 makes me do it. I person doing this takes a while, and a full bundle isn't easy to lift. So add that onto the whole playing with skids all night crap and completing 2nd shift's job and even more of my time is gone to NOT DOING MY JOB.

Manager #3 is the one that like ass-kissers. I don't kiss her ass, so guess what? I'm not much liked by her. She once screamed at me and another worker because I asked him to help me lift something. She said to us that if a certain Co-Manager saw us working together that we would be in deep shit. I asked her if the Co-manager would rather have me get injured from lifting something and cost the store $15,000 for an accident and have the company pay me for a medical leave instead...all she said was we'd better not be seen working together anymore....yeah....anyway, she doesn't really harass me much anymore after I (and another) went to the store manager and complained about her 4 times. She still makes me do 2nd shift's job, but then she leaves me alone for the most part. My beef with her now stems from what she said during the little chat I had with her and manager #2 in the office when they were writing me up for doing what I was told to do.

To start off, manager #2 tells me that she is not happy with my performance, and that my attitude generally sucks. She tells me that I should be getting more done than what I have been. Manager #3 chimes in with how I never get anything binned, and that higher up management is complaining. She also tells me that I never seem to be happy with my job. I tell her I like my job, but I hate being harassed and expected to perform miracles and that last I knew, I wasn't Jesus. They ramble on for a while, basically still just saying that I don't seem happy and that I don't do enough. I point out that I can't do my job when I am told by them to do other things. Manager #3 tells me that I wait too long to start binning. I tell her to explain. She says that when I show up, if I see something that needs binned, I need to bin it right away, not to wait so long. I ask her how am I to bin something when I first come in if I am immediately pulled to do something else. And every time I try to go off and bin something when it comes back, I get yelled at by one of them to get back into the back room. They were so obviously in the wrong I almost laughed at them. But in the end, they are the managers and I am nothing. So even though they had no reason to have me in that office, I still walked out with a verbal warning on file -_-

[remixedcat]

poor poor WS!!!

but that's walmart for yah! they are based in arkansas where no one would even let us have an apartment over there..... glad we didn't move there!

[Sephiroth X]

my suggestions to you WS would be one of two

1- If one of them asks/tells you to go work on a different side project, tell them "no" and state all of the reasons why your stuff takes priority.

2- Go over the top of them and go to their management with the issues and explain to them why your managements warnings and complaints arent correct. If you put forth the effort to make it apparent that the reasons for your 'warning' are not your fault, it will get noticed. Plus its Mooly management which means they're probably paid as crappy as you and probably have about the same level of job security as you. The one thing they definitely fear is their own management.

Me personally? I'd do option #1 and then option #2 anyway.

DONT BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU!

....

I can actually see WS doing something like that at Mooley.

*Managers door explodes (literally) open*

*WS walks in*

*Slices managers desk in half with a katana (dont ask where the katana came from because I do not now)*

WS : WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?

*Volcano explodes in background for some reason*

[wondersaiyan]

I have done options 1 and 2 before. I did both of them the last time they had me in the office. But that makes me an even bigger target. I have no doubt in my mind that the second time was done as a kind of retaliation-type thing. They know my direct supervisor is on vacation for a while and can't back me up like she did before. And every time I have gone to the higher up management about all of the harassing and such.....nothing gets done. The only time something was ever said to anyone was when the associate that got yelled at with me for helping out with lifting heavy stuff said something to higher management. Why was something said that time? Simple; that associate was MALE. Our store manager is a bit on the sexist side. Actually, almost all of the managers are. Even the female ones. We have tested this theory many times. A few of us females will say something to management about an issue. Some of us are told nothing can be done, some are told that it will be taken care of by the next day, you name it. So then we send a guy in to say something about the very same issue. The issue is taken care of within 24 hours. Every time.


So I am screwed -_-

[Sephiroth X]

well if its that bad, one of the higher ups beyond your building (like, someone who oversees the local mooley's in the area) needs to be called in i think.

[wondersaiyan]

Probably the route I will go. That's what I had to do when I was fired for no reason back in April of 2005. And they basically admitted to firing me for no reason when they took me back. If they'd had a valid reason to get rid of me, then they wouldn't have taken me back, right? Steeerpeeerd Meeerly meeert.

[Sephiroth X]

or just move up to the mooley up here. i highly doubt our mooley is that stupid... they're too busy catering to the elderly and and too busy taking their time on everything to care about anything else.

[wondersaiyan]

And they have the more emo and cooler looking cash registers, amirite?

;D

[Sephiroth X]

damn straight we do. each button on the register plays a different Linkin Park song too! we're wisconsin, motherfuckers!

[wondersaiyan]

Linking Park? Naw, dude...you mean My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Panic! At The Disco
