I've continuously entertained the idea about "what if, when I'm throwing the trash away, I hit a poor racoon in the head?", and it just so happened as I was chucking my trash, a raccoon was right on top of it :laugh:! Think I missed him but clearly he was also surprised about the impending impact!

Bro that's not how this works. You don't just ask me if I'm working next week and then just mass email everyone telling them I'm covering for you. You ask me if I can cover for you.

That is when you know two things:
1. You're quite dependable.
2. It's time to assert some boundaries! >:C 

I am thinking about this freakin heat. :raritydespair: It is absolute bullocks!

Why is it that with some lamps, you have to turn the knob twice in order to turn it on and off?

I don't know, but it's so annoying!

Why do they make us work out here til we drop? Is it worth it, to hit those numbers? :pip-err:

Only you can decide if it's worth it to you. If it is, then you've got this, go for it. If it is not, do not let them work you too hard. Unless they're really, and I do mean really making it worth your while, they have no business working you like that. It doesn't do you any good if it drops you and you don't end up getting back up. That's not worth it.

It's not worth it to me, since they do that and they also won't promote me even though I've shown a willingness to learn new things. The challenge is I need to find another job before I can just leave this one.

Yeah, that's the challenge. Don't be like me and leave before you find something else. As for promotion, I don't know, I'm mystified. I put in my time, did all their (stupid) e-learning and attended some trainings, only to be told that any promotions, just like an across the board market adjustment was up to people above our department, who don't like any of us. So after telling me for six months that the sky was the limit if only I'd do a little extra, my bosses then notified me that the sky is made of concrete and it's not a battle they can really fight. They're not terribly concerned about retention because they feel there will always be folks coming in through the revolving door as old folks go out. I know everypony already knows this, that's how it is everywhere now. I got so sick of it that I just stormed off with no particular port in sight and now I am kind of adrift. Probably shouldn't have done that, but they were going out of their way to be nasty to me. You can't do that to a person or a pony day in and day out. That's how...I even went to bat for them, by removing myself...unbelievable.

I'm so sorry that happened to you! :hug_day: No one deserves to be treated like that!

My story is that I went through some of their little programs but there was no follow up. I contacted both people in charge of it for months with no answer. I found out they moved on from me when they promoted a girl who hasn't been at the company near as long as me! You'd think seniority would count for something! Now employees left and right of me are getting into those programs and I'm not. That's why I'm just over it with that company.

Going back to the "work til we drop" thing I said earlier, they literally have us out here in this heat wave and sometimes they forget to check on us. Someone's already passed out and it frustrates me that they make us stand out here at all since there's a way to do the task inside.

There ain't no seniority, they've retired that whole concept. They promote their favs. Sometimes they mark you and then it's game over. They don't like to fire anyone cause they don't like paying unemployment, so they just start acting nasty until you leave. They say they want people who go the extra mile, what they don't say is that they expect you to go two miles for one miles worth of compensation, and you're actually running in place.
