The free toilet paper saga... 10/24/2012 by econobiker
|
I knew someone who got toilet paper from an employer……
Welllllll, so I knew this guy, someone from my past, who once worked for a grocery store over the summer during college.
With each regular grocery truck shipment, the store also got "in store use" store supplies which were generic cleaning, register paper, grocery bags, and other items -not the consumer brands... FULL STORY»

Library from Hell 09/10/2012 by Death watch
|
Deerfield IL. Library has the highest turn over rate in the last five years . Why do we ask? The Head of the library is only concerned with herself and the construction of her new Domain. The board could care less . They dont give a crap if they lose some of the best educated employees and dedicated staff.
Remember in less then a year the new Pergander library will be opened and that is the bottom line... FULL STORY»

Thank you for calling the psychiatric hotline.. oh wait... 04/28/2012 by dizzblnd

Friday, right before lunch a call came into me. I said my intro and then the voice on the other end just started speaking in tongues. I was getting ready to ask him if he would like a Spanish rep, (although I was not quite sure if that was his language) when he started speaking perfect English:
"There are people out here digging on my lawn all the way up to my house... FULL STORY»

WORKING AT BELKS 03/18/2012 by JF

Just wanted to share a story with you. I have a daughter who is employed by Belk's Department store. She has been employed there for many years. Belk just did reviews on their employees and most of them got a pay cut from 1.00 to their starting pay.

Changing a Light Bulb 11/04/2011 by constipatethebull
|
So how many people does it take to screw in a light bulb? Where I work it goes something like this. Names have been changed of course but the general business process here really is true at my workplace:
A light bulb expert tells only who he must that "There is a dead light bulb in the bathroom and I am going to change it with a 40W white florecent bulb because that’s what it has always had and there is plenty of light and it looks great... FULL STORY»

Ah, Texas workplaces' double standards! 10/05/2011 by Auntie AB
|
An awful place I worked for 2 1/2 years ago was a day hab for the disabled in San Antonio, Texas. The trainers/teachers in the classrooms were all non-Hispanic, hard working folks (like me) who LOVE and want to help the disabled. The admin/office people were 98% Hispanics. The Ops Manager was Anglo, non-Hispanic and allowed (as is typical in Texas workplaces), double standards... FULL STORY»

Nothing Like Going Without Sleep...
Posted on 04/15/2009 by SouthernProgrammer
I am taking a break from a 'fire' I am putting out. At this point I have had three hours of sleep in the last 36 hours. If the next 30 minutes goes by smoothly I am going to drag myself to my car and collapse in my bed. What I find annoying is my boss came by and said "I know you are working hard to get [customer A's name]'s problems resolved but we have a deadline for [customer B] we need to reach by next week" I am glad I was too tired to do anything but shrug as I was seriously thinking of inserting my keyboard into my boss in such a manner that a proctologist would have been abl read full story »
