Popular Post KrAzY Posted June 25, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 25, 2018 Just not not mine, but the whole lot of them are this way from what I hear. Lets hear the newest and dumbest ones you have for your supreme leader! I will use K for me and B for my boss: I get a text from my boss about what time I will be working till today. I tell him 1pm (just like every day Monday thru Friday) I'm on a strict schedule set down by our corporate... B: I'll be there in 15-20 min, I need to talk to you. K:I'll be here. If you need I'll stick a few min longer then my scheduled shift. B: Ok, but I will not be able to talk to you right away, I have to take to the HR about it first: K: whatever.. do what you got to do. (now my curiosity is wondering what is going on) B: Oh.. just to let you know.. it is not bad news. K: Thats what my last boss said before I was fired! B: Seriously it's not a bad talk! About an hour goes by and I am working doing my daily stuff, I get a phone call to meet him in the HR office room B: come in and have a seat: K: Ohhhhhh it's gonna be a long one.. am I fired? HR Guy: Chuckles and gives Boss stern look and laughs again K: Lets do this.. two things will happen... I get to go home and swim as I look through the classifieds, or I get to go back to work. B: <laughs> Nah.. I brought you hear so you know what going on. You have any Idea what they plan on doing to your position here at Wholefoods? K: I believe they are going to dissolve my title in the company and give me a go away package. They have already dissolve two other positions here starting with Demo, and GA, I figured I would be next seeing that they are hiding info from us. B: Nope.. could not be so luck to watch you walk out the door. I am here to let you know you will be getting bumped up to full time status, better benefits comes with that, and also you position will be controlling GA while working with a secondary SSS person we will be hiring in under you. K: Will this SSS do what I am doing now, but for 20hrs a week and it will free me up for the GA/ Head SSS position / IT works what I am doing now? B: Yes K: Will the new person being trained in SSS be a girl and will she be cute? HR: I am going to pretend I did not hear that K: It was a simple question B: well lets fill out the paperwork. Do you have time? It's getting close to the end of your shift. K: It's should not be hard to fill out.. No real title change, I'm already full time 32 hours, and I already am in the benefits I need. What else is there? B: What... when di you become full time? K: Over a year ago when (Team Leader before new one) was here. I told him this was the only way I would take this job. I wanted full time so I could have benefits. B: how approved it? K: You did knuckel head.. your signature is on the paperwork. HR: I am going to forget you said that also only because this is getting funny! B: Go back to work, BTW.. Thanks for everything you are doing here.. it is great having someone to work with you do not have to constantly follow up with and you are on top of everything before I ask about it. Welp... Looks like I didn't learn anything new, and yet I got a promotion... 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted June 25, 2018 Share #4 Posted June 25, 2018 My staff probably says that about me... Before you proclaim their stupidity maybe walk a mile or two in their shoes. They very well could be nimcompoops or just completely overwhelmed and forget what they approved over a year ago... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far Posted June 25, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 25, 2018 This is the least informative company I have EVER worked for. People leave (voluntarily or otherwise). Crickets People start. Crickets. We're for sale. Crickets. New buyers coming thru. Crickets PM for a big project visiting. Crickets. Admin's husband died. Crickets. How we doing this year? Crickets. Any big work coming up? Crickets. "I need you to tell these people they need to take training just like corporate says we do". Crickets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead Posted June 25, 2018 Share #9 Posted June 25, 2018 Seems like you got a bunch more responsibility for 32 hours a month. That's 32 hours you could have been sitting in the pool amigo - destressing instead of acquiring more stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted June 26, 2018 Share #11 Posted June 26, 2018 Management at my work is in total CYA mode, they change direction constantly, they fired the old guys that knew what they were doing and kept the kids that spouted 'new ideas' Now nobody knows WTF they are supposed to do; I asked my boss the other day what I was supposed to be doing, he told me to continue with what I have been doing. When I told him I'd been looking for something to do he seemed confused. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work so hard as it is.. today I watched the new increibles movie, drank about a pot of coffee, and answered three emails in about 6 hours.. not sure how extra help is going to be worth while..what the hell.. gives me more time for more movies I guess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
