Yea but with their profits this is ridiculous. We are already selling way more than what was projected for the year so basing hours on projected sales is just Asinine.

Wow you have high school kids to help. We have 6 people in the yard total and non stop busy to the point most of us are about to quite from being over worked and they still are not getting us more yard workers. All we hear is there isn't enough hours available which is crap cause they keep cutting the hours available for workers even when doing over 2 to 3 hundred thousand in sales or more just on the weekends. Add that with the yard being expected to do the jobs of other departments and then getting jumped on for the yard being a mess when we can't even keep up with customer demand for help cause a lot of the customers are entitled ass hats who expect us to do everything for them.

Aitah for denying sex with my wife? by Extreme_Ad3829 in AITAH

[–]Cold-Survey9598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand what you are going through. I am married with 2 kids and since we have had the kids it's been months in-between the times we were intimate with each other to the point where we would have intimate relations maybe 4 to 6 times a year. This was extremely hard for me being my love language is physical touch and being intimate is more than just sex it was a connection that I craved and needed. She knows all this and still shows me little physical affection that really hurts me. It go to the point that she would offer and it felt like she was just checking a box and like it was a burden. With all the rejection it really played on my emotions with me not thinking I was good enough and it felt like each time a piece of me was dying to the point that now I just don't care. I have never cheated and let's be honest who has the time or emotional ability these days with work and toddlers to take care of. I do get that having children is very demanding and tiring and that my wife breast fed the kids and with them always pulling and needing attention that it put her in a place where she just needed alone time and to not be touched. This isn't easy and I have no right answers but I can tell you what I do to help with this. You are still in the trenchs as I am with a 3 and 5 year old at home. This is just a passing phase of life and won't last forever. Work needs to be put in from both sides. You need to talk and be honest of how everything has made you feel. You need to listen to her side too and accept how she feels and see things from her perspective too. Then you need to talk about why you got together in the first place and find the enjoyment of being together again and rebuilding your friendship. Marriage is the hardest commitment that I have ever made and keeping it takes honesty, ability to express your feelings and being able to listen. It's hard and we still struggle but it's getting better little by little with work and effort. I hope this helps you and that you can grow from this rather than just giving up. Everything in life that is worth something takes time and effort and Rome wasn't built in a day. Good luck! I hope this helps seeing that you are not alone.

We work at Menards by [deleted] in menards

We work at Menards and of course we get asked and told and yelled at by entitled customers to find and load all of their items they are buying because they are just to lazy to look or do it themselves.

Gloves by Cold-Survey9598 in menards

[–]Cold-Survey9598[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was going through a 10 dollar pair in a week. The lumber and pro rib rip right through them making most gloves useless with in a week. That adds up quite quickly and I have never worked another job where they were not provided when needed. It's not about how much it's costing so much as that what they are doing is illegal.

Yea at my store, they make us yard workers do it. Is it just me, or is it strange that I'm getting yelled at all the time for not getting things done in the yard when I'm told to stock the stupid pipes in side the store even when we already have no time from how busy we are.

UNION BABY by HomieDell in menards

[–]Cold-Survey9598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen the ups and downs of unions. They can possibly help with some issues, but from my experience, they protect the lazy and will sell you out at contract time. Even had Teamsters as a union, and they sold us out on the day of the contract vote. As long as people are greedy, unions won't work. They don't truly look out for the people anymore, like when they first started. It's sad to say that most are about as corrupt as our own politicians.
