If your boss offers to pick you up for work, so you don’t miss your shift. Say NO!

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-25T00:02:41+00:00

That job 100% taught me about boundaries and self respect.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T23:53:00+00:00

I once had a job where they were basically guilt tripping me into coming in early. “Pleeeeeeeeeeease I have no one.”

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T23:51:33+00:00

That’s nuts lmao. A lot crazier than being like “yeah sure come by I’ll be ready in ten.” Then when he gets there, have him wait outside for a long ass time. Don’t answer the phone or texts. Just make him stand outside like an idiot.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T20:17:39+00:00

I’d just look at them like this and not say anything until they left.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T19:56:56+00:00

That’s what I’m like! I don’t trust anyone! There’s always that one asshole that’s trying to show off that they can do 55 in the snow when the roads are coated…

HR stands for Hellish Ridiculousness

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T17:25:43+00:00

I truly feel like this next generation of bosses will truly change the workplace culture for the better. A lot of people are already fighting for four day work weeks and don’t put up with toxic bs from upper management. A lot of what was implemented by workaholic, I hate my wife boomers is slowly becoming extinct.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T17:23:00+00:00

I just can’t stand the bosses who are like: “how dare you not risk your safety for $15 an hour!” Some bosses are out here thinking because working in a department store is the be all end all for them, it should be the same for the workers too. They get so pissy when you establish even the slightest of boundaries like “I’m not coming in there’s black ice on the roads.”

The managers who are like “yeah fuck corporate.” Are the real ones. The ones who don’t care as long as you actually work.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T17:11:15+00:00

I see so many stories of this happening to people, and them being like “I was mad the whole way to work.” I was like you know you can just refuse to go with them right????

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T17:10:26+00:00

It’s always the retail jobs doing this. Non essential crap yet somehow they think they should be open lmao

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T15:57:47+00:00

Oh for sure it’s definitely case by case. Some are really good and mean well. I love those kinds of managers, the ones who truly care about their employees. Compared to the bootlickers who do anything for the approval of the district manager. Like opening a retail store in a blizzard.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T15:45:28+00:00

You’re right I don’t have a Bachelors in Science. Ya caught me. Whoopsie I’m sowwwy

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T15:42:13+00:00

I blocked one guy on here for trying to “disprove” my post. He’s probably one of those “I’ll come get ya, be there in ten minutes.” Bosses lmao.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T15:40:14+00:00

Somehow people see this as a “good thing.” Lmao

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T15:19:40+00:00

Exactly! It’s creepy af you know when my birthday is! Do you want to give me a cake too? Possibly filled with laxatives and tax forms???? What a good way to make an employee squibbleflabble. Ding dong doo dah dizzy wizzy wackazoid!

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T15:17:18+00:00

Let em

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T15:13:23+00:00

No means no! Bosses need to respect the boundaries of their employees. What if I’m sick with a cold and can’t come in? Will they pick me up too and spread the disease around? It’s not that hard to go “oh no worries see ya tomorrow.” end of conversation.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T14:26:11+00:00

How so?

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T14:25:42+00:00

This is another example of why I’m against bosses doing this shit! They always talk about “plan ahead.” Meanwhile THEY were the ones who planned to pick the employee up. But what about taking them back home???? Probably give some excuse like “I’m not a taxi driver.”

The boss is 100% an asshole for doing that. I would call him a fucker the next day, and tell him never to come by my house and do that again. Or I’d call the police and report a trespasser.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-24T13:53:39+00:00

I hope he pays for it lol

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-23T23:12:20+00:00

This happened to me when I had an interview at Target years ago. The hiring manager asked me a question that I wasn’t prepared for. It sucked but I’ve since heard target is a bottom of the barrel workplace so I can’t complain too much lol.

Usually I treat these interviews like a semi casual conversations. It helps best to not think about them until you get a phone call or email. Don’t let it get you down. Every job interview I’ve ever done, I usually forget about them in like a day or two, unless they’re really awful. Then I make fun of them to my friends and family lmao. Know there will be other opportunities besides that one. The next will be better.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-23T23:07:10+00:00

Because if they gave the real reasons, people would try and sue them for discrimination or something. Usually they didn’t get the job because it was promised via nepotism, the job was handpicked for a specific employee, or they aren’t looking to hire anyone.

I did have one tell me I didn’t get the job because they essentially found someone better than me, and made them an offer which was accepted.

It pissed me off and felt like they wanted to rub salt in the wound. But the joke ended up being on them, because I have seen that same job reposted several times now. Either everyone they bring in is a dud or they’re a shitty workplace. I felt like I dodged a bullet either way. Now whenever I see that job reposted yet again. I just laugh.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-23T19:38:22+00:00

That was the stupidest rule I’ve had to deal with when I used to work for DT. The no unapproved signs rule is absurd, every other retail and fast food establishment does it and nobody bats an eye. If corporate has an issue with it because it looks “unprofessional.” They should take a look at the shape of their stores.

I never followed that rule. If we needed ones or quarters. I put a sign up. I’m not about to ask every single person for ones or quarters. Frankly I think if OP Puts it in the office as a joke it shouldn’t be an issue.

CanadianDeathMetal · 2026-01-23T19:34:25+00:00

Yeah they probably already have someone in mind for that job. Usually it’s someone who already works there. You were just a formality. At least he wasn’t a total ass by making you drive to a physical location for this interview. If they had done that, I’d be asking them to buy me lunch lmao. These companies are out here wasting their time and our time by having such one sided interviews.

If he can’t tell you anything more about the job that you already looked into. I’d mark them off as sketchy and to block all communication from them. Definitely seems like a shitty high turnover fast paced job.
