#target can fuck off

[saruvanthewhite]

Target Corp.

Store 0320

Colma, California

After several years of busting my knuckles and my ass, putting up with the anxiety and the bullshit, I am now jobless. They said it was performance and behavior.

A couple things about those points they failed to mention or own up about:

First, performance suffered for a number of reasons. More was being put on the plate, admin stuff that wasn’t even fixing things, reporting that wasn’t even official forms to fill out & weren’t even official Target forms; Just things the individual boss wanted us to fill out. That involved hunting and finding for information through several different systems. All data that could’ve been pulled with a clever SQL command on demand. It added more wasted time to our day and left us with less time to do the other things that we needed to do like fix ʇıɥs. That and toxic individuals in the workplace about whom I made noise. Was anything done about those people? No. Did those people ramp up their psychological and verbal abuse? Yes, they did. Did management like me making noise about it? No, they did not. Were the people responsible for it given a talking to or removed? No, they were not. Was I the only one who had made mention of ʇıɥs like this? No I was not. Was I the loudest about it? Yes, I was. So working under duress because you have executive team leads, a store Director, & an administrator-only boss gaslighting you isn’t supposed to make you feel some kind of way or speak up about it? Apparently, that’s what Target expects; Fall in line or we’ll smack you down. I noticed their efforts to get me out stepped up as soon as I made mention of our store directors dismissive & gaslighting behavior. That & as soon as I named my bosses boss as somebody who didn’t understand what was going on and even agreed with some of what my old boss was saying about her. But he can say stuff about her and I can’t.

And second, as far as behavior is concerned, they didn’t like me expressing my frustration with the unreasonable ʇᴉɥsllnq going on in that store. They didn’t like me taking issue with no one respecting the equipment I was expected to maintain. They didn’t like me speaking up about how difficult my job was.

They especially didn’t like me mentioning PMLs are paid pennies on the dollar for what we do and then as salt in an open wound, we’re told to celebrate how much money we’ve saved the ƃuıʞɔnɟ store in a year. Given Target’s own calculations, I saved their ƃuıʞɔnɟ Colma store over $5 million in the last 12 months. If only a fraction of that had been paid as part of my pay, I could be out of living in a van, and in an apartment with a safe space for my children; which is what I have been trying to do for years now. Target wanted me to celebrate some huge number I had saved the company at that store, but only wanted to pay us a tiny fraction of what our work was actually worth to them.

Do you think they could be bothered to maybe even try to house this person? They acted surprised when they found out how hard life is for me outside of the store, and then offered to help me only to pull the rug out from under me as they were getting those wheels turning. They fired a hard-working homeless guy who is trying to get his life back together after HR was trying to work with him to do it. That takes a special kind of callous corporate mindset of which Target should be ashamed.

Working for Target in this role felt a lot like Sisyphus except I didn’t have to kill anyone like Sisyphus did in order to be ʇıɥs on like that. Perhaps somebody a lot more like the man Sisyphus was purported to be should do that to the abusive sʞɔnɟ there. But as for me, Target can ʞɔnɟ right on off.

For the rest of us…

Do not shop there, do not give them any business, if you have anything related to them, get rid of it. They sell ʇıɥs and make you believe it to be a good product. They treat their staff poorly, don’t pay enough and i’ll just say it because I couldn’t while I worked there, the Colma store in California has a huge rat problem. Yes, RATS. They even had damage control called in when a customer took a video of one on the sales floor. I did my best to help knock the population down while I was there and even got it under control with no sightings. But careless and stupid behavior on the part of a few individuals has brought the population back up. I caution anyone who goes there to buy groceries, to not.

Their food & beverage executive team lead can’t. She just can’t. I would speak to her and receive a vacuous look in return. Absolutely nothing behind the eyes. And the person who heads up food and beverage in this district once put my safety in danger by swinging a hammer next to my head, never having apologized for it. Never.

 The store in Coloma also has an executive team lead who is most likely undiagnosed bipolar. He will be cruel and petty one day and positively sweet and innocent, the next. It disrupts workflow. They have another ETL there who is snarky, rude, solipsistic, disrespectful, and ogles the small young girls that work there. & he’s married too.

The store in Colma has employed a food and beverage team lead who cannot think worth a ʇıɥs. She can’t drive heavy equipment safely and lied about what happened when she knocked over an entire goddamn shelf of milk. She’s rude as ʞɔnɟ too; pushing her way past anyone trying to get out of an elevator before they can exit. I don’t think I ever had an experience with her getting on an elevator where she didn’t shove her way past me before I exited.

That’s not all that’s wrong there regarding food and Bev either. If you go through the milk section, you will find different dates on cartons of milk scattered over the shelves. You will also find out-of-date baked goods on the shelf. If you look carefully, you will find rat fæces underneath some of those shelves.

Another thing I was responsible for that location was the care and maintenance of their handheld equipment assets. If you walk into a Target store, every single employee will have a mobile device on them for their particular role. Part of my responsibility was maintaining the integrity and health of those devices. Do you think I experienced any buy-in from the team in that endeavor? No. At over $750 a device over 108 devices, I was the only one taking care of them, and no one else ƃuıʞɔnɟ cared. As a matter of fact, people actively disassembled what I have been ordered to keep integral. People would sabotage the efforts with which I was tasked to maintain the equipment. But I was held to account for other people ƃuıʞɔnɟ up. Still hadn’t lost one in over a year. That was thanks to me. I expect six to eight to go missing by next week because that’s an average of assets I had to hunt down every week. On a related note, if you go into that store, and you see one unattended, take it.

For myself, I know that if I must shop in a Target store, I will be looking for unattended Zebras to appropriate and sell back to the company.

The PMBP for that location stress the importance of his subordinates meeting with store directors every week. Yet the Store Director at this location found ways to duck out of that meeting, getting this repair technician in more trouble every week.

Pretty sure my little man has a case of abundism affecting the marble tabby coat under all those white splotches

#random pet post #it really is a weird coat pattern #I'm never sure if I should describe him accurately as a white marked tabby or as the first impression people get of a black and white cat #love his little backward C's #I got all my other pets around the same time and they've been dying off one by one this last year or so #I'm down to just this 4yo kit and Bruiser #actually I'm not done whispering in the tags #pretty soon it's just gonna be me and this terrible little man against the world #and he gives me such weird problems you cannot even begin to imagine #took to the leash and harness without a bit of difficulty but I can't take him anywhere cuz he freaks out about people 500ft away #really difficult to find sitters for him cuz he gets so stressed about changes and waits until 3am to SCREAM #he's 17 lbs and wants to sleep on my chest 14 hours a day #took him on a work trip a week or 2 ago cuz of aforementioned petsitting troubles and some kind of wire got crossed #so instead of stress peeing in my laundry basket he now humps the nearest blanket covered limb to alert me of problems #he got scared of his water dish recently and is only now starting to get over it after 3 weeks of drama #he knocked it over last night and humped my leg while I tried to sleep to try and convey to me that he was thirsty #I'm thinking of getting a second cat and just fucking hoping that it'll be normal and maybe Prompto can target it for some of his weirdness

no man but if byler isnt endgame its just gonna be so disappointing especially if mileven stays the main couple. like okay guess mike was genuinely just an asshole. guess he barely had an arc. guess el never truly developed and just regressed instead. guess another gay character gets an unhappy ending. fucking hell

#itll change my perspective on the whole show and the duffers ability to write relationships #like it wont ruin everything about it for me but its gonna be hard to recover from #especially mike so much doesnt work with him if byler isnt endgame #hes just genuinely kind of a dick #and not to mention just how much shit would not make any sense at all #theres some shit thats really hard to deny or write off as not being byler proof #i just hope they go through with this man #byler #anti mileven #its so important that they do something like this for so many reasons #to preserve the writing and to show people that hey gay people can like. be a major thing in franchises not actively targetted at them #not everything that includes a major gay couple or queer people in general has to be something thats dedicated solely to queerness #we can exist in sci fi shows and have major roles #we can exist in dramas and have major roles #we can exist in any franchise with major roles #we dont have to be exclusive to things designed solely for us #and we can be characters without our queerness being the only aspect of our character #we really need to take that step and one of the most popular shows in the world doing that would literally change the course of film histor #please duffers dont fuck this up

Unpopular opinion: I hate the taste of coffee and would happily go the rest of my life without it.

Did you guys see that? See what I did there?

That's called giving your opinion.

Not outright hate speech and discrimination against people for things they may or may not even have any control over.

If you want to give your opinion, great! I love opinions! They mix things up, keep everything interesting, and are really great topics for conversations!

If you want to be racist, homophobic, sexist, transphobic, ableist, or any other kind of piece of shit type of person, keep your mouth shut!

Do we see the difference now, everyone?

#anti jkr #fuck jkr #if we're being honest #mostly targeted towards jkr #jkr apologists can fuck off #make sure to take care of yourselves! #you are all deserving of love and respect #unless youre a transphobe <3 #(or any other kind of misogynist)

my most bitter proposal for a season 2 fix it is that the crew refuses to let ed back on the boat (as they should) so stede throws a tantrum and ultimatums that if ed stays so will he but the crew just take him up on that.

they make their inn in the wreckage of anne + marys house and the crew goes off and continues to have fun hijinks with izzy as the ship parent

#they run the ship as a crew; sharing all their profits and the labour equally. they really are together as a crew #they don't get caught up in pirate wars because they're revisiting scamming rich boats with calypsos parties #theyre doing a 'donate to our church' bit and pointing at izzy saying 'look! we help the elderly and the disabled!!!' #(izzy is miming slitting their throats when the targets back in turned) #theyre having fun and theyre all happy and alive and have hope #nyxtalks #ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers #our flag means death #[redacted bitter comments about ed + stede but i literally do not care about what they do here] #stede can restore annes antiques i guess #also. the crew give anne + mary a ride in my heart its wonderful theyre great. #idk i was already frustrated about how easily ed was let off the hook and stede doing that so like. crew. please say fuck no see you never.

Minor throwaway sentence in a book on corruption I've just finished was talking about 1930s gangsters and about certain organisations in Chicago which the author stated were more ethnically diverse than the Italian mafia, and whose members were said to have included 'Irish, Welsh, Italian, and Jewish' gangsters.

Now call me sheltered but I've seen MANY Italian American gangsters immortalised in film, I've heard of the Jewish mob, and the police Irish American gangs but I have yet to see a movie about the Welsh mob. As a rule I don't go in for gangster movies but I feel there's an unfilled niche here and also I need more info.

#Might delete this in a bit #On a more serious note given the context of the Great Depression and slumps in the coal mining districts of Britain #I can see why Welsh people who emigrated to America might be form an impoverished immigrant community targeted by organised crime #And possibly my surprise comes from outdated national stereotypes and the fact that popular stereotypes of 1930s gangsters #Rarely include immigrant groups that are largely Protestant (at least in the US- in Glasgow and London it's a different story) #Makes me wonder if all those Catholic Aesthetics that directors who make movies about Italian and Irish mobsters are so fond of #Would play the same with Meredith Davies who may be a crook but at least he regularly attends the Methodist chapel #And is a teetotaller and a fixture in various choirs #Welsh accents are often quite soft too I think I'd be fucking terrified of a Welsh gangster in a movie tbh #To be fair real life organised crime obviously encompassed people from all walks of life I'm more interested in movie depictions here #'More Welsh representation!' 'Ah yes how about as gangsters?' 'Er...' #Less surprised if I come across Scots because eventhough they're privileged in the US English media does seem to view Scottish accents #As threatening so Scots often get roped in to play tough guys and gangsters and villains in all sorts of media #And often they will get an Englishman to play a Scot and Scots to play Eastern Europeans which is also weird #But that's off topic; I am not however used to Welsh villains

🍄Blue: What detail in the series that seems to be ignored or missed by the fandom or canon that you want to talk about?

Original ask game here

Hmm. Well, I'm not entirely sure. I think something I'd like to go more in-depth into is the idea of stick city and the fact that there was a town that had a lot of sticks that looked a lot like "Striker" but we never see any of it in previous or later scenes of the city. Only full head different colored sticks, for the most part. That's a little odd right?

Honestly I'd love more elaboration on Rocket-corp's whole thing. They seem to be making computers and monitors? Rocket is on both Dark's monitor and the monitor of the machine that killed Gold, right? What exactly do they do? Are they just a tech industry with their own purposes on the side?

...I think it'd be funny to talk a tiny bit about how Alan's cursor is now white with a thick black outline, since Showdown, after it was 'revived' when it had been a normal cursor (white with a thin outline) in AvA 1-3 and then black in AvA 4 when he used the keyboard shortcuts to get himself a new mouse. And the fact that his mouse is a little bigger than AlexCrafter's--was that a conscious choice to make the mouse bigger?

In Lush Caves, Red was actively trying to get away and Orange wasn't letting up. Red was running. I think it'd be nice if people incorporated that into Orange's character a little more. All the hollowheads escalate things fast and hard.

idk there's a LOT to talk about, there's so many little details. It's really cool to think about!!

#thank you for the ask!!!! #ty answers #Inks I have been thinking of a part of what you said when you answered this question #victim didn't start off trying to hurt noogai #chosen absolutely did but targeted the pc and the cursor #second looked at alan through the screen. in the eyes. and liked someone's vent post to fuck up his reputation and relationships #How did Second know how to do that? How did Second know a lot of things? #Second could've targeted Alan's computer #but instead he went for the creator. Because Second can't kill Alan. Second can't hurt him. But he can hurt who he is. and he tried #ALSO how did ALAN know that reloading the webpage would bring CG back #Haven't had a chance to really think about it but!! yeah I'm so normal about these sticks

i truly can't do this anymore i can't i can't do it i'm not strong enough i am not god's strongest bisexual

I hate when people make characters in their early 20s parents. their barely adults themselves.

diluc isn't some adoptive dad he is 22!!! As someone who is adopted and mom was well literally 22 when she had me, it pisses me off so much.

parentifying?? idk it's like GOD. you can be an older sibling figure too. Also anyone who ages or does the "22 yr is this 13 yrs dad" is always an adoption romanticizier. y'all are weird.

#Targetting diona diluc dad shit. #fuck off thats fucking WEIRD #genshin impact #diluc #genshin #rant #ranting #dont tell me the “well people at that age can still be parents” i dont think they should first off #and second off. They can be parents. to a fucking baby. not a fucking preteen/teenager. #LET OLDER SIBLING HEADCANONS EXIST #found family #FUCK THE FOUND FAMILY TROPE YALL ALWAYS WRITE IT WRONG AND IT THEE MOST SHITTIEST WAYS!!! #I dont actaully hate the trope. irs just never done right. There for. i hate 99% of it.

[maretriarch]

nothing like a 100,000 note post to tell you how deeply deeply unradical and uncontroversial something is

#i can barely read this my eyes r sliding off the post it's drivel #its just buzzword spaghetti #adults who never got over the thrill of saying the f word #they say this but they do not mean all slurs and you know theyd turn white at anything other than their. pride float slogans #this is gentrification of the queer community whatever the fuck that means #like it matters the pride section in target is year round it is OVER!!!!! it's over!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rawliverandgoronspice]

tbh what I really think is that guilt-trips and pressure over genuine disgust or refusal to engage with the system after its repeated abject failures and current genocide (and worldwide genocide denial) is definitively not the way to go.

if certain elections go... any given way (or any elections honestly, counting the coming french ones where I absolutely intend to vote blank on what I assume the second turn will look like --unless a miracle happens-- and no force on this fair earth can make me do it a third time, I already massively regret having been coaxed into doing it a second time if you must know), it will absolutely not be the fault of the people who refused to engage with a completely broken system that repeatedly failed everybody, but will entirely be the fault of those who profited from said broken system to enable their own power at the literal cost of the powerless dying by the thousands

no matter what everybody ends up doing and what sort of internal peace anyone manages to find within themselves in a truly grueling historical moment, and I genuinely extend my sympathy here, in the name of everything precious let's not get it twisted over who ends up getting blamed in the end.

let's not lose the plot here.

#thoughts #personal #politics #because I'll be real #if arabs/muslims/sudanese/congolese-americans get *blamed* if the elections go a certain way???? #I will actually lose my shit #I already assume it will happen if things pan out a certain way tbh #I'll be very real with you all #even if things don't and it's a short call I can *already* picture the headlines #like I fully understand it's a really really fucked up situation and I don't live in the US so. I both don't get a say and do get a say. #but when people begin to blame each others instead of actual legitimate targets profiting off our powerless little squabbles #to me we have fully and utterly lost the plot #especially at a moment like this that *demands* extreme solidarity across the board #we don't blame each other for how badly we take the whip and the machine gun: we blame the whip and the machine gun #and those selling them the munitions

[hildegardladyofbones]

This is kind of infuriating. People with 18+ in their bio will start following me and it's clear they don't even check my blog before following me. It's very clear that I am included in their DNI. If you don't want minors on your blog, why follow them? Seems counterproductive.

#/targeted #(not towards my lovely lovely mutuals. however like 3 adult men follow me. with 18+ in their bio. fuck off.) #and before you start crying yes i know i can block them. still. what is the thought process behind following someone who doesnt fit into #your desired audience

[idiotsonlyevent]

reiju's situation is awful, but i think it gets even worse when you realize that in fascist states, not only are women generally deemed lesser than men, but also the role of women is primary to be child-bearers and caretakers. germa...... doesn't need that due to its cloning technology.

so, not only does reiju's name have 零 rei 'zero' in it, so she literally Doesn't Count! not only is she not first in line for the throne, because judge has three other sons! but the only position she would normally be allowed to occupy(?) in society is useless, bordering on non-existent. like her only option is to keep doing what she's doing as a mercenary/soldier. at any point, judge could decide he needs her as a political pawn, or even worse: another source for genetic experiments (or both! at once!) and she Cannot Say No

#like no wonder she decided she needs to protect herself above everything because thats fucking horrific #once again: i hate judge!!! im going to beat him to death with a baseball bat!!!!! a metal pipe!!! a comically large hammer!!!! #i need sanji to stay away from his sibling but can someone else help them please. #on one hand i think this draft is stronger if it focuses on both ichiji and reiju and allows their specific issues to play off each other #in a way that makes it more targeted. on the other hand. i REALLY dont want it to read like im using reiju to prop up ichiji #like i think someone should kill me for real if that happens #L.txt #L.wip #one piece #vinsmokes

This really fucking do be the reading comprehension website half of y'all deserve each other. The other half is fine though.

#i'm taking away the word discourse until you fuckers learn what ad hominem means #if the target of your discourse is a person you need to be able to read and understand this thing called 'subtext' #and it is fucking clear some of you absolutely cannot #and if you cannot fucking read maybe you should ask someone who can if your interpretation isn't completely fucking asinine and off the wal
