Ugh I seriously want to punch her in the face. I'm to the point where I can't even pretend to like her or be polite in person anymore. I'm fake af so that requires a really special type of person.

During one of my reviews, after they told me how my performance was... they asked me if I had any complaints or advice for them or management. The only thing that popped in my head was her. She's been here way longer than me and also is somehow close to a bunch of people so it would just end badly for me if I complained.

Need to transfer asap so I don't answer to her anymore.
I really identify with the sitting fox. That's how I feel every weekday morning.

I look like the guy with dark circles under his eyes.

a colleague once told me "dont fkk with management".... and i try my best to be a yes-person, because being anything else than a kiss-*** is a near-certain way to more crap from management.
so yeah it's best to stfu if you can contain yourself
My struggle to have any kind of motivation continues. I have concerns about things, as I am sure others in this office do as well. We are supposed to have weekly meetings to discuss things but the boss is never here to do them anymore. She emailed today to say she is off the rest of the week after being here only a few days last week. And the week before last she was on vacation! The lack of communication from the higher ups in this company is stunning.

that's pretty extreme lol. but don't expect coworkers to be anything but badly configured automatons. it's what we all are.
Another worker leaving us
Sick of welding. I'd rather stay home and get wasted than weld...
My work is quiet this time of year (seasonal) plus bad weather affects it so I only worked 1 day this week so far, 2 days last week but I'm still getting paid for 3 (so far) so might as well buy a nice bottle of whiskey & mellow out in the evenings then sleep in to 10am :lol I should be eating healthy & going to the gym probably but I don't plan on living forever or being a beautiful corpse sooo priorities : /
Work was meh
It’s amazing that she would leave that for days on end just so she could complain when she returned
2nd time in a row where I didn't get my PTO pay....this is ridiculous.
Actually having a semi-decent and productive day. First day in awhile...I think it has something to do with the fact I was able to go outside during my lunch break and just walk around the building and it is actually warm and a bit sunny today. A little thing like fresh air and warmth can make me feel better. But it will be cold again in a day or so and the boss should return next week and I sense something might be going on behind the scenes with all this time off she has had recently and other people just acting weird.

You have to get angry and confront them. Don't let then take advantage of you.

Chances are, your manager is under pressure to save on payroll, so they're skipping paying out your PTO in order to make themselves look better, and they think you're too timid to speak up about it.

That's just how people operate.

I'll bring it up, the first time they said oh it was a mistake....still never got paid for that time either. Gave me back the hours but still I want the money.
I have started selling other people's items for a commission. So far I've made $0.61. That's nothing but it's good to not be in the red at least.
Work can *****ing blow me. Besides them having no issue not giving decent pay, benefits, or even *****ing PTO, they also have no issue enforcing more strict rules while expecting us to do work that is done in a hospital even though this is assisted living, which is very much different. You want me to work 12 hour shifts (which I'm already doing) and go above and beyond for a lazy, ungrateful, disabled client who wants me to baby him and wait on him like a servant? Not gonna happen. Mediocre pay breeds mediocre work.

I agree... seems like it's time for you to look elsewhere...
I usually use a washroom that's not on the same floor as mine. There's one that is a floor below and I take the stairs to get there. Some of the floors require key access, but not this one.

It seems that only one company/organization occupies a quarter of the floor.


As I get out of the washroom and head towards the stairs, someone who is going inside one of the offices notices me and asks if I work on the floor.

I said no, I work on the floor above.
He asks me what I was doing, I said using the washroom.
He tells me Im not suppose to be using the washroom, and he's going to contact management.


I said a awkward Thanks at the end for some reason... and went up the stairs...


I wonder if I should continue using this washroom... or go to one that's a couple of floors lower...


I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to use this washroom. It's not locked and it's in a common area...


I just rather use it as it's not occupied much and I don't bump into any coworkers...

yeah, i was asked today if i wanted to switch desks closer to my team as mine is in a different cluster facing away from them. my team lead said i could switch with her if i felt lonely. lol, i dont know if she meant it that way or if its a suggestion i need to talk more.

i actually found it really convenient how my desk faces away since my first day haha
