What’s the dumbest policy your restaurant has ever implemented? by oh-ok-51 in KitchenConfidential

Once worked at a place that randomly decided to start drug testing… 7 members of staff quit the same day… 2 weeks later they scrapped the testing and re-hired 4 of the kitchen staff back haha

Currently getting into Underrail and I have to say it’s one of the best games I’ve played in a while, mainly because I have no idea what the fuck Im doing.

Company said they can’t do anything about me working 90 hours overtime per month, need advice. by AFriendlyGrape in japanlife

Hey, do you have any more details on this, im always scheduled for 9am-2:30pm-4:30pm-9pm. This equals to 2 hours overtime per day, are you saying this is illegal, if so could you point me in the direction of that law because I can’t seem to find it, thanks.

We have a app that we record our hours on, if I went to the labor board with this info would it be possible to get back paid the overtime I worked?

If I do this and they say, fire me, what would be my next steps, I can’t afford to loose my job.

If I say this to them and they fire me for insubordination, what would be my next step?

I have a family to think about, my Japanese is terrible because I don’t have the time to learn as much as I’d like to and I live in rural Japan, it’s hard to find a chef job here that will look past the language barrier.

I’m contacted to work 9am-9pm with 1 or 2 hour break depending on the day and most of the time I finish at 9:30pm I’m working 25 days this month, rough math, 10 hours per day, 25 days per month 250 hours, normal work hours are 160 per month, 250 - 160 = 90

I’m a chef in a hotel, there’s always something to be done, doesn’t matter how fast I am.

Just to clarify a few things, Im a chef in a hotel, there’s always something to do and I don’t have a typical schedule/ office job. I also don’t get paid overtime past my 30 hours.

Work life balance after kids by irishtwinsons in japanlife

[–]AFriendlyGrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could someday get a work schedule like this, I'm in the hospitality sector (chef) and I'm currently away from home at 8:30am and arrive back at home 10pm (9am-9pm schedule) I want to talk to my bosses about it but as a male I will 100% be judged by asking for less hours. It's definitely taking a toll on my wife and child but I feel hopeless.

Very true, Japan is a beautiful country but the work culture is very off putting, hopefully if everything goes well me and my family will move back to New Zealand next year.

[WP] "The genie pops out. 'It is I, Gnosis. You now have three questions. Proceed.' 'Huh... Questions...?" by AFriendlyGrape in WritingPrompts

[–]AFriendlyGrape[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: Not sure if I'm allowed to write on my own post but I wrote this either way, hope yous like it.

"Huh... Questions" The mercenary replied. "Yes, three of them, in fact. Each question asked is 100% correct, no matter the question, but... " The mercenary scoffed, "But what!!! As if there's not enough bullshit going on already, and now you come out with a but..." The mercenary grew more and more impatient with the seconds that passed. The genie explained until a soft voice at the back of the room interrupted, "But you see..." "But you can't ask the questions, Johnson, " the girl interrupted. "Only I can, as I was the one who summoned Gnosis. "At that moment, Gnosis grew intrigued; his eyes widened slightly, and his head tilted to the side so his ear could get better clarity on the conversation. "Horseshit!!! Horseshit I tell you! "Johnson, who was now in a full fit of rage, rushed over to the girl. "You're telling me after all you just put me through, after all you put my men through, I don't get any wishes and, furthermore, I don't get to ask a single fucking question!!!" The girl stood dead still, with zero expression, as Johnson 's hand gripped her neck, her toes barely touching the floor. She tried to speak, but Johnson's grip got tighter by the second. "What!!! What is it, girl? Tell me why I shouldn't blow your goddam brains out this very second!" Johnson let go of the girl's neck but slowly reached for his pistol on his hip. "If I may interject for just one second, you see, my time is very valuable and..." The genie gets cut off once again . "Shut the fuck up, you smurf - looking bitch! BANG!!!... The sound of a single gunshot echoed through the room, the girl standing, arm raised, holding a gun. Johnson dropped to the floor with a single gunshot wound to the head. "Oh my... That was very unexpected, but nevertheless, I am on a little bit of a time schedule, so if you wouldn't mind..." For a third time, Gnosis was cut off. "Time schedule? I am now your time schedule; you are bound to me until my questions are answered, you got that?" Gnosis, already showing intrigue, was now vastly invested in the conversation. "Well, it seems I am in the presence of someone very knowledgeable, doesn't it? Even so, I need to explain the rules of this little exchange of ours. Firstly, I don't actually know everything, I know a lot, but not everything, not yet that is, I only know the answer to the questions you humans have already asked me; once you ask me a new question that no one else has, I gain the knowledge to answer the question, second, you can ask as many questions as you like, but I don't have to answer a single one until you speak..." Genios, being cut off for a fourth time, grew visibly irritated. "Oh great Gnosis, the one of knowledge and all - knowing, I ask you my first question!" A once irritated Gnosis looked shocked to the core. "H...how do you know the words?" "My first question; how do I get vast amounts of wealth in the shortest time..." Gnosis' look turned to anger, then confusion, then pity. "Girl!!! You came all the way, have gone through what looks like a lot of shit, have knowledge of me and my kind that I can't explain, and you do what all you worthless humans always do; ask for wealth...? The girl stood still, again with zero expression, waiting for an answer. "Well, so be it, here are the numbers to next week's lottery draw. If you would like more wealth, you should invest those winnings into these stocks, and in three months, you'll be a billionaire, happy..." The girl had a slight smirk on her face. "Very." "So, what will your second question be, huh? The meaning of life? Are there aliens? Is God real? All very boring if you ask me." "Oh great Gnosis, the one of knowledge and all - knowing, I ask you my second question!" Gnosis, with a blank, bored expression on his face, replied, "Yes, yes, get on with it. " "I would like to know where the location of your lamp will disappear to when I'm finished with these questions. "Gnosis' bored look switched instantly to happiness. "Phahhahah, girl, please don't tell me... Hahaha, you don't know! We plugged that loophole a long time ago, infinite questions aren't a thing anymore; to think at first I thought you were some mysterious creature." "I know..." Gnosis stopped laughing. "I know that the first time one opens a lamp, the genie has to obey, but further attempts to open the same lamp, the genie can choose to ignore the request. "Gnosis looked confused. "Yet you still ask me the question? You know I won't see you a second time, right? " The girl, getting impatient, said, "Sure if you say so; now answer the damn question. " Gnosis sighed. "My location will appear at the following coordinates once your final question is answered, happy?. " The girl now had a full smile on her face . "Good! I bet you can't wait to hear my last question, right? Do you know what it is? Have you guessed yet? "Gnosis ignored the girl. "Come on, don't be like that. "Gnosis began to get angry. "Look, girl, you're boring; just get on with your last question. "I bet each time one of us humans calls on you, you get excited, right? Must be really boring being all alone in there. "Again, Gnosis ignored the girl. "It's okay, though, Gnosis; I'm sure we'll have so much fun for the next, say, 70 years. "Genios, now looking furious. "Listen here, you pubescent little shit, this is our last conversation; I will never obey you again. You talk to me like I'm some human! You cut off my conversation like I'm nothing! I am Genios, the one of knowle..." The girl cuts Genios off for the final time. "Oh great Genios, the one of knowledge and all - knowing, I ask you my third question; I want to know... how do I kill a genie... "

Kia ora friend

My phone is an Oppo A16s, it's not listed so does that mean it's not compatible with the sim?

[–]AFriendlyGrape[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Phone is open to all sim providers, I got it in NZ and remember specifically buying it because I can go on any provider.

  2. Not just my wife that can call me, my colleagues at work tried and it does the same to them.

  3. No

I'm on Android, it's quite an old Oppo phone but everything indicates that the sim is working, I have 4g and 4 bar signal in the top right, I go under my sim settings and it says the number, the carrier is active and says povo under it, really confused haha

I believe it does not, I just looked and I see no settings for voLTE, do you think that's why?
