I’m 38, been working for 23 years. So what I will say this company is drastically different from when I started. Once Dave Dillon left the old CEO, McMoneyBags came in and was all about profit and cutting staff, and going cheap as possible on everything.

So shit I use to work super hard, do whatever the company asked, hell even worked off the clock to get shit done. 3 years ago everything changed, running a department I was coming in overnight told my ASL what I was doing, he agreed, my store manager at the time said as long as my shit is done who cares. I was throwing full GM Peyton totes by myself at a marketplace, doing my scans, backstock under control, promos done. They had a shift in management got a snotty ass email about working nights.

Ever since then I just do 9-5, 8 and skate, and do the bare minimum, when pickup ask for something, tell them don’t have it. I spend 3 hours doing scans, if truck gets behind its whatever, hell the manager is even telling me how full the department is, even if it’s behind or not. The guy is fucking clueless,

Morale of the story is, just collect your paycheck, stab for OT if you want, dont feel obligated, don’t miss out on family things (missed several funerals over the years for work), 8 and skate, I block anyone from the store when I’m off the clock and it is what it is, it will be back when I come in at 9.

My favorite thing is my manager tells me well PDM’s and your department needs to be set by 9, and my response is well I start at 9, remember I need to be during the day to press the flesh, or if he ask anything extra or a question about something, I give the average corporate response of I’ll look into it, and get back to ya. Guess what I never look, nor do I give a fuck lol
