#trying to train the New managers

[drumlincountry]

#Eefa sells her labour #Look I am PRO CRIMES AND PRO SCAMS #but the guy who has scammed himself into the social media manager job at my work is a fucking nightmare #If he would sit in a corner and quietly scam the company out of a salary for a position we DO NOT NEED #I would respect him #However he keeps making it harder for me to to my job #And physically taking things i'm working on away from me to butcher #Like I don't want to brag but i'm a trained and experienced facilitator. I was a university lecturer #Do you really think itms your job to add more animations into my slide shows??? Social media man??? #He is also clearly like. Using Google to search for images because he keeps adding incorrectly id'd species #I will find a nice creative commons pic of a plant i'm talking about and he will be like #:) I have my sources *changes it to something that lives in new zealand* :) #Like dude u don't need to be an expert but you have to understand that there are things you don't know. That I DO. #I have been trying to avoid him as much as possible but occasionally I'll be like. OK I am going to give him a chance #Maybe he's not that bad #And i'll let him look at an Instagram post or something #And then he RUINS EVERYTHING AGAIN #Me Fein

Also, if you're a minor working—please, please, be aware of the laws for minors. Most work places follow the laws, but I have been in places where they. Just. Didn't. And were probably breaking a lot of laws there.

#united states btw not sure about other countries #i only had it happened to me once #BUT DO NOT LET YOUR MANAGER BULLY YOU INTO WORKING LATER THAN YOURE SCHEDULE #i was 16 and completely. new. to working and my manager took advantage of that #and lemme tell you havinf a 40-50 yo women guilt trip you because you werent train properly and forcing you to stay way past your scheduled #hours and not letting you leave until YOUR parent had to CALL the store to let you go because #it was getting past MIDNIGHG #it wasnt a fun first job #dont let your higher ups bully you #is what im trying to get at #plus knowing the laws for minors can. generally. help #its different from state to state though

Ingo held Khan's scaled wrist gently as he examined the claws his friend now sported. Five fingers had been turned into four deadly talons, new to Ingo but already put to gruesome work by the hybrid.

"I'm sorry about your hands..." he said softly. Khan shrugged as he examined his other claws.

"Eh, don't sweat it. It's hardly the worst thing they've done to me." He responded mildly. As though his body being changed against his will to a weapon was the norm. Ingo glanced at his eyes, his fangs, the remnants of his horns- and remembered this wasn't the first time his friend had been altered against his will. His grip on Khan's hand tightened.

"Still," he insisted, "if we'd found you guys sooner..."

If they'd found Khan and Nana sooner, Khan would still have his hands and Nana would still have both eyes. If they'd been just a little faster to realize the hybrids were missing, to remember where they had come from, if they had pushed their pokemon a little harder to fly and fight-

"I'm glad you found us at all, honestly." Khan said it off the cuff, without thinking, but must have felt how Ingo's grip tightened again. He turned his head to look at his friend and Ingo felt mild dread at the look in his eyes. As Khan leaned forward he cringed back just slightly.

"Hey, look on the bright side!" Khan accentuated his words with a point from his claws. He must have seen Ingo's confused upset because he smiled wider.

"The bright side?" Ingo repeated. There was a bright side to this?

Khan shut his eyes as if he was a teacher explaining something incredibly simple.

"Oh, my sweet summer train man, of course there is!"

He stuck out his claws like Elesa and Skylar did when they were showing off freshly done nails. The scales gleamed in the light, dimly iridescent.

"I match your color scheme now!"

Ingo's gaze remained on the claws for a moment. Was this really a good thing? Khan had lost another important part of himself because he and Emmet had been too slow. Was the simple black nature of his scales that important? Could it make up for everything else?

He looked up with tired eyes, meeting Khan's gaze again, and realized that Khan was not as unaffected as he thought. He was giving Ingo the softest smile he'd ever witnessed on the other man's scarred face, his eyes half shut and gentle. Khan had been there when it happened, had suffered the consequences, just as he had the last time he'd been abducted. He would figure out how to deal with his new appendages just as he always had before. It was not quite old hat, but it was also nothing new, and something would have been changed no matter how quickly he and Emmet had arrived.

For the first time in the years he'd known Khan, the hybrid was being sympathetic and offering Ingo a comfort over something he had no control of. Yes, he now had claws and scales, but they were the color that Ingo most frequently found himself in. The color of one of his closest family members. Ingo wondered if Khan had used that as a way to comfort himself after it happened, but didn't dare ask. Instead he tried smiling. Surely it was weak, but the worried look in Khan's eyes lessened.

"Yes, you're quite right." Ingo grasped Khan's claws as if they were still his hands, holding them tightly. He would get used to them, just as Khan had. It would be alright. "Another color would have been quite unfortunate."

#Khan a. #I have no name for this au #TLDR Emmet and Nana met up in the future-present. Nana developed beyond Khan and they managed to track them down in Hisui #And get them home. Akari comes with ofc. Ingo and Akari go back to visit their friends in Hisui regularly. They return after a visit #To find Emmet in distress. While they were gone Khan and Nana were abducted by the organization that originally made them what they are. #Secret labs are not as easy to find as people think and it takes some time for them to track down where Khan and Nana ended up.

Time to adapt.' #At least they didn't give him soft mittens he couldn't inflict damage in #but now he has to be careful lest he unintentionally inflict damage (he cut Akari by accident once already. It gutted him.) #Anyway that guilt manifests into ingo apologizing (more than once) #And Khan trying to convince him it's fine. It sucks but it's fine. It's not ingo or Emmet's fault. #Ingo better appreciate gentle and sympathetic Khan while he's got him cause once the guilt is over Khan is going back to being a bastard #Also I apologize for the beanie but I haven't figured out hair for ANY info #And I was not about to draw his bitch ass hat

I feel really sick and ill about the guy at work who won’t take the hint actually like I’m home now sitting in my room and I feel Terrible. physically nauseous.

#like. I’m a recent manager I’m a very New manager #but even so. i was a manager when we hired him. #i was fresh like literally 3 weeks under my belt but even so #i interviewed and hired and trained him As His Manager #and he was super normal at first he would only ever text to ask questions about the job or the campus #but then he fucking. saw me on bumble. #so now he knows I’m single and available. #and actively looking for people. and he thinks he is people. #and he keeps asking me to hang out outside of work #he keeps talking to me about how at his last job he literally dated his boss #and like I’ve been joking about it up until now but it does not feel funny anymore it’s making me feel ill #bc today we worked a class together and afterwards I’m gathering my stuff and he was like #hey if you wanna hang out I’m down. I’m not doing anything. i get really bored and kinda lonely. wanna hang out? #and I was stunned into silence I didn’t know what to say I could tell he wanted me to commit to something Right That Second #and finally I just kept being like oh maybe. um maybe. idk maybe. #i felt soooo backed into a corner about it. and I was talking to juno and they pointed out. that he probably thinks I like him back #but I’m just shy. and/or deterred by being his manager. #and now that they’ve said that I 100% think that’s what’s happening and I’m so. I’m so. I’m so fucking upset about it. #i do not know what to do I think I might try to talk to our big boss about it but he’s just always so busy #i feel like an idiot #op

I have a wonderful husband to take care of me AND I got a call from a recruiter from a company I like who really liked me! So, things are going to be okay. This new place offers infinitely better benefits, I just got to get put into a position. ~

Sofia city council voted on March 9 to instruct mayor Yordanka Fandukova to ask the state to move the Soviet Army Monument from the centre of the Bulgarian capital city.

The monument was erected in 1954, while Bulgaria was under communist rule. It commemorates the Soviet invasion of Bulgaria at the close of the Second World War. The communist line was that the 1944 invasion, which led to the end of the monarchy and to decades of communist rule, was a “liberation”. To date, left-wing parties continue to revere the monument.

The vote to ask for the removal of the monument was 41 in favour, 13 against, with one abstention.

Those who voted in favour were the GERB-UDF group, Democratic Bulgaria, Patriots for Sofia and independent city councillors.

The request, to be made to the Sofia district governor, is to move the monument to the Museum of Socialist Art or to some other state-owned land away from the city centre.

Democratic Bulgaria tabled the proposal in 2020, but the matter did not proceed because GERB-UDF kept it off the agenda. This changed recently when GERB-UDF leader Boiko Borissov made a public call for the removal of the monument.

Some weeks ago, an inspection by municipal officials found that the condition of the monument was a hazard to the public, and it considerably exceeded the size originally approved.

The morning of the city council meeting saw protests at the monument and outside Sofia city council headquarters against the removal of the monument. Participants in the protest, in which red flags rivalled Bulgarian flags in number, pelted the city council building with eggs and red paint.

Caretaker Prime Minister Gulub Donev said on March 9 that a decision on the fate of the monument should taken only after Bulgaria’s April 2 early parliamentary elections.

#nunyas news #wonder what Borissov is trying to hide #by doing this #bulgaria managed to pick the wrong side in both world wars #but nobody remembers that so it's ok #they kept their Jewish population safe #would have been nice if they'd stopped some of the trains #but that could have cost the lives of everyone

feeling chilly in this winter weather? have you tried "having a wave of anxiety so strong it physically jolts your vision?" it'll warm you right up!

#so anyways work is being fun #as per usual #fortunately for me i leave this position in a month and nine days #not that i'm counting (i'm 100% counting) (rant incoming) #i have nothing to do 99% of the time which drives me insane #other 1% are massive undertakings that i am not equipped or trained for that my manager springs last-minute with a 'figure it out' #i am not built for improvisation or inactivity so this has been a special kind of hell for me. it's like being in a pressure cooker #it would be easier if i had gotten training. any kind of training at all. it would've been so nice if anyone at any point did that #i'm trying so hard to learn. i ask and ask and ask and get blown off #and then get yelled at in front of everyone when i fall short at doing something even my manager doesn't know how to do. i'm trying so hard #anyways i'll delete this soon but to be petulant for a second. i hate this. i hate this i hate this i hate this #i had never once dreaded waking up before working on this team and i now feel like i'm a step away from a nervous breakdown constantly #but i transfer in a little over a month!! new team new work entirely new division! #i can do hard things in the meantime #*through gritted teeth* #i can do hard things

Work schedule got updated and I have another meeting in two weeks

#from the looks of it #it’s all the new people/training #and it’s two hours long #fortunately I’m working afterwards #so it’s not a waste of a trip #however I’ve got to wait like 30 mins for my shift #but I’m trying to think what the meeting could be about #maybe contracts because I know I usually get schelduled over my contracted hours #and they said on the gc that they had to drop peoples hours #so it could be that #or maybe reviews #since I think my 8 week review is coming up #so maybe that’s happening but I know some people have been recently hired so it might be too soon for them #or I’m getting fired 😭😭 #but I don’t think that’s the case since I’m schelduled to work next day #and my manager was talking about time offs I’ve requested #so I think if I was getting fired they wouldn’t drag it out 💀 #but we shall see #I think I’m just being dramatic #gatherrambles

im sure this feeling will pass but I feel like im not made for comics

#I draw a lot #and just drawing and practicing won’t make u good at comics it’s a whole different skill set that u have to work at #I often feel my brain is overloaded on information #if I try a new skill my brain will explode #I still try tho #but yeah even while training for SYS i make lil comics on the side #we wanna work on SYS for a while but chevy and I have other projects too #and I want to tell stories and draw them #but I start so many things and never finish them #it feels like I can’t finish them #whether it be comics or stories or illustrations #I rlly tried a few days ago to get my little sonic au comic out and I burnt out after like. 4 ‘panels’ #and to be fair it was all off the dome #no thumbnailing or anything so duh #but even before that #my undertale au from like. 2017 that I made actual thumbs for I did concept art for #I even learned pixel art for (it was bad pixel art but still) #and I gave up right as the first chapter ended #never went back to it. Chevy and I have poured so many years and blood n sweat n tears into SYS! and chevy manages to have so many other #projects at the same time that they’re balancing and planning #we have another two comics we wanna plan too and we’re in mid production for the second one #but. I feel like such a failure when it comes to SYS #we wanted it to release December last year and look where we are now #I got sick and fucked up my wrist bad and chevy got a job so it’s not like we just haven’t done anything #chevy is writing a whole nother comic at the same time and I’m trying to learn learn learn #but maybe. im not built for it #or. maybe I just need to let myself be disatisfied. everyone tells me to do it scared. and that’s true #but I also neee to learn more o do it badly #I’ve read webcomics with art that was genuinely hard to look at because I loved it #im not helping anyone by wondering and going what if what if what if. issa leap of faith or whateva that white man said

[ghosthart]

when will i find a job that doesn’t ACTIVELY try to push me out and make me quit out of frustration or feeling overwhelmed like i actually like my job but they never listen to me when i say i need to do sales floor for my mental health cuz every job i’ve had i end up quitting with no notice just stop showing up cuz i can’t do it anymore and have a meltdown and i rlly don’t want to leave this job cuz it fits me so well IF they would let me do sales floor but they literally REFUSE to switch my primary job so i’m like wtf do u want then?? me to just quit??

#and like actually i don’t mind cashiering but they make us push credit cards #and we have quotas and stuff #and i’m getting in so much trouble for not meeting the quotas #and i’m worried they can fire me over it #or will start cutting my hours #like they just don’t value me as an employee enough to realize i would do better on the FLOOR not as a cashier #but instead they just want to fire me or push me out instead of keeping an employee that does their job and not having to train a new person #i just don’t get it #and idk how to bring it up like actually address my mental illness things #and i’m worried too that they’ll just not care at all #or try to be like oh really u don’t seem autistic or u don’t seem like u have severe anxiety u function just fine to me #like when i tell ppl that they don’t believe me at all cuz i hide it well to ppl i barely know #only my mom and bf see me have breakdowns and stuff #that’s why i just quit places without saying anything cuz i just snap from the stress of having to hide my issues all day #but like my managers aren’t therapists so they would probably be like uhhh not my problem find a different job #or try to be like well just figure out ways to deal with it like everyone else #i’ve had a boss say that like they were just like it’s not our problem u don’t do well in high stress environments so i had to quit

Work sucks ass right now and I’m one (1) stressor away from straight up biting people.

#2 departments are trying to swap places #while 50 other projects are getting dumped on us #while also trying to manage the other 50 things we normally do #everyone’s getting mad at us because we’re not able to manage everything at once #normal processes are changing literally as we speak #we have new hires to train #I want to S C R E A M #WHY IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE RIGHT NOW #vent #dyntalks

[jedi-bird]

I am trying to many myself get up. I woke up far too early because of pain, my brain decided to think all the things, and I'm hungry. Figured I might as well be productive if I'm not going to sleep and do the dishes but I just want to sit in my chair and stare at the wall apparently.

#vent post #I'd try to go back to sleep but by the time i manage to my alarm will go off #so today I'll just be extremely tired this morning and probably pass out after my appointment #my brain right now is like we should write but I'm trying to train myself out of waking to at 3 in the morning #the new med was helping with that for a bit but now it's not

How do I ask for a raise and also how much of a raise is appropriate

#I make $14 an hour but minimum wage is $7.25 but I DO live in one of the poorest areas of America #however other similar jobs in my area pay $15-25 #I’ve been here almost a year #also I’ve been doing so much shit outside of my job duties. I’m not even talking about learning the other departments or helping them. #I mean like. floor machine repair. training new employees. training the goddamn reps for shits sake #I think a $1.00 isn’t too much to ask for and honestly I think $2.00 isn’t either. but #found out that a co worker who’s been at my job for SEVEN years and knows the goddamn store by HEART is only making 50c more than me #I guess they are a cashier and I’m a warehouse worker so for some reason it’s fair #I would give them a 25% raise at LEAST if I was in charge though #idk :/ I don’t wanna piss of my bosses lol. I have been doing badly about being on time lately too #but that’s cos health stuff so it’s not like I DONT care #and it doesn’t negate the fact that i do so much more than I’m supposed to do for $14 an hour #so far my strategy is: stop doing all the little stressful shit that no one notices anyways #it’s been so fun to do that for the past few days #I just watch a problem grow and grow and grow until it’s a big problem and then management deals with it #which I hate because management is also underpaid. but. so am I. and it’s not my job to take care of another department’s hazardous waste. #or to answer the phone for other departments. or to train reps. or care about the floor machine getting clogged. #i ignore problems now and then they get too big to ignore #and they take WAY more effort to fix than if I had taken care of them to start with #but goddamn we are so understaffed. I’m already being 2-3 people. I can’t be a manager too. as much as I’ve been trying to help. I gotta #stop because no one notices and I don’t get paid for that shit #sorenhoots #but I wanna take care of the stuff 3: I just need to get paid for it

For once I would like to work at a place where me calling off doesn't result in a guilt trip. Sorry I'm the only responsible employee there but I was literally hyperventilating at the idea of letting my manager down bc I woke up and instantly started bawling about everything and could not face work. And my stomach has been murdering me from all the anxiety I've been dealing with so I literally can barely function anyway.

#like it is not my fault our newest employee can't remember anything. i trained her for over a month honestly. she still can't remember where #half the buttons on the screen are or what they do. I'm half convinced she has dementia bc she's asked me multiple times what year it is #when she was doing her paperwork. like even at my first job i was left alone more than my boss will let this woman. she refuses to let her #close alone. and like i know it'll go bad. but it is not my responsibility to babysit a 65 year old. i trained her and i know i trained her #well bc the other 2 people i trained did not have this amount of issues. i am not an assistant. your shitty company will not give me that #position even though i asked. i am the same rank as everyone else working there and i cannot have anymore stress right now or i will fucking #quit. the other girl that works here just got her wisdom teeth out and she'll be down for the count. not like she was much use anyways. but #i do not understand why my manager is making it all my problem when i taught our new employee everything. i was working by myself here for #entire shifts by the time i was here a month. the store might burn down if she does but Jesus Christ not everything is my responsibility #when my manager isn't there. I'm not the fucking assistant. I'm a fucking cashier. like I'm about to stop doing all the things i was doing #to try to get them to promote me to assistant. cause it obviously didn't fucking work. not gonna go around and make a list of everything #expiring this month. not gonna obsessively organize and stock the cooler. I'm tired of being the only one that does it and does it right #anyway. it's so fucking exhausting. like last week i was so anxious and upset i was throwing up. i couldn't have gone to work if i tried. #now I'm just over being the useful one bc it never got me fucking anywhere.

[homunculus-argument]

I actually really like the thing when you're starting to get the hang of a new language, enough to understand and say simple sentences but you gotta get creative to get more complex thoughts across, like a puzzle. I remember a time in the restortation school when a classmate who wasn't natively finnish but did her best anyway dropped something and sighed, telling me "every day is monday this week. I have had four mondays this week." And I understood.

I don't think I speak much of spanish anymore, but in the nursing school training period I did there, I did manage to get by with making weird Tarzan sentences. I got a nosebleed at some point and startled another nurse. Not knowing the words for "nosebleed", "humidity", or "stress", I managed to string together: "This is ok. It is hot, it is cold, I have a bad day, I am sad, I have blood. This is normal for me." And she understood.

And sometimes you just say things weird, but it's better than not saying it. One time, I was stuck in a narrow hallway behind someone walking really slowly with a walker, and he apologised for being in the way. I was not in any hurry, but didn't know the spanish word for "hurry", but I did know enough words to try to circumvent it by borrowing the english "I have all the time in the world."

The man burst into one of those cackling old man laughters that they do when something in this world still manages to surprise them. He had to be somewhere between 70 and a 100 years old, and I guess if there was one thing he wasn't expecting to hear today, it would be a random blond vaguely baltic-looking fuck casually announce that he is the sole keeper and master of the very concept of time.
