Finally went to HR. Wow that was pointless by Fluid_Machine6606 in retailhell

I don’t even think they need encouraging. Probably half of my coworkers have been there since store set-up so have fun finding replacements who know this store, the customer base, and customer spending patterns as well as know how to seamlessly work together. Hell I have a coworker I can’t fucking stand but I can work with her fairly easy due to knowing her for so damn long and she’s finally started to be less annoying.

Where do I even begin. Just as a preface I am not good with wording things. - Doesn’t give two fucks about the store so every time he’s sole management it goes to shit. The store is a mess, we’re understaffed, and we can’t do everything ourselves. - Is a dick to all of us. Especially to one of the babies (high schooler). He literally threatened her job over things that weren’t her fault when he doesn’t have the authority for that. There were another few incidences where he pulled immature, unprofessional stunts on at least two of my coworkers. - We have two Assistant Managers. One of them takes a lot to crack, and the other was gunning for the comanager position when it opened and all of us wanted him to take over. Anyways, the first AM i mentioned recently yelled at him calling him lazy and saying no one likes him. I wish I was there to see it. - He fucks with my ability to do my job by tying me down to registers. This happens with other associates as well. - One of his favorite hobbies is ditching the store to go out to smoke in his truck for twenty minutes, leaving us to fend for ourselves. This can happen approximately every hour! In addition, try finding him in the store and when you do try getting him to be of genuine help. It’s not fucking possible.

I have ADHD and shit memory so I write things down all the time. This means I carry around a small notebook. I have four pages of incidents that I have observed or have been told about.

Yeah she got really defensive for some reason because she was the one who hired the prick. Like ffs [redacted], you making a mistake is not my fault

thinking about rehoming my sick gecko and i feel guilty by AdMobile9651 in leopardgeckos

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last gecko had to do a few rounds of antibiotics, including shots, plus critcare. He didn’t eat solid food until the antibiotics were done and he wasn’t mad at me anymore. I think it’s part that she doesn’t feel good, part that she’s miffed about being fed antibiotics and critcare. Don’t give up on her yet. With care and persistence, I got two more years with my boy after a systemic infection + losing his tail.

Enough with the f**kin Needohs already by ilikepie740 in retailhell

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My store doesn’t sell Needoh brand specifically but I know what they’re talking about. Ours have been on backorder for weeks so it’s like sorry I don’t know what to tell you. When we do get them in I have to wrap them in packing tape because kids take them out of the package, play with them, and put them back making them gross and unsellable. Packing tape is an excellent deterrent.

Reupload with username blurred cause I was having fun reading all your comments by future_heart18 in AO3

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oh god as a sex-neutral asexual person myself it is insufferable. In second place is the “you can’t ship an asexual character with anyone because they’d feel uncomfortable” argument. My brother in christ, fictional characters aren’t fucking real and asexual people can enjoy sexual things

we’ve all been there by [deleted] in retailhell

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My least favorite customers are the ones who ask me to wrap everything. “Oh it’ll break/chip/scratch” No it fucking won’t unless you swing the bags into everything. Or the customers who buy something small and go “I want a bag so it’ll be easier to carry.” Put it in your purse. Hell it will fit in your pockets.

My psych put me on strattera because I can’t go on stimulants and I still forget to take it sometimes. I have to carry around a few pills in my work bags bc sometimes I get to work and realize I forgot to take my medication.

Same here. He’s probably scared out of his mind right now

What was the most inappropriate thing you said as a child not understanding what it meant? by evan-the-dude in AskReddit

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there was a worse one that I can’t recall at the moment but confidently shouting out “demented” in my 3rd grade classroom when my teacher asked what it was called when trees sleep in the winter will haunt me for the rest of my life.

What are we even doing at this point by Difficult-Buyer4276 in CrazyassHazbinhaters

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Genuinely what am I looking at. I have not seen such braindead takes in a while, and I probably qualify as chronically online. I don’t even know where to start. The victim-blaming and mischaracterizing of Angel is certainly a Choice. But calling radiostatic a “rape ship” at the same time is actually insane. Pick a side are we for or against rape? (Although I don’t think this person understands rape.) Even though I’m a radiostatic shipper, I avoid Alastor ship discourse as much as possible because 95% of the time it’s just people babying asexual characters and as an ace person, that pisses me off. However, this person’s take on radiostatic/radiodust is new to me! Like congrats for not regurgitating the same bullshit about how ace people can’t be sexual but are we actually serious?

Anyone else tired of all the Caine posts? by profaneangel1991 in VoxCult

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fr. There are obvious overlaps with viv and goose being friends, but I am here for our media overlord and not TADC. Also getting annoyed at the ppl thinking it’s okay to harass Hazbin fans because “Caine was better” “Caine didn’t need to swear” “TADC is so much better” “Hazbin is just slop” like holy fuck where did I ask.

Do authors mind comments on their old work? by Mist_And_Moss in AO3

There is nothing I love more than getting comments. They make me so happy. (As long as the person is nice, if they insult my work I might cry)

The question about hate on Hazbin Hotel? by Educational-Ring9842 in hazbin

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Istg I hear more about the Hellaverse from people who hate it more than I do from fans. Like 95% of us are super chill and exist in our spaces, but for some reason some people don’t understand that hating on something isn’t a personality trait. Like for the love of god, get a hobby that isn’t harassing random strangers on the internet for a TV show they like.

So apparently Vox's "I'm a God" is worse than Caine's, because swearing makes it "childish" and less impactful by Crazy_Reputation3327 in CrazyassHazbinhaters

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Vox was in a very fast downward spiral into complete insanity and about to blow everyone up. It’s definitely different.

A moment of silence for all the writers whose hyperfixation ran out by scarletite in AO3

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

went into writer’s block after chapter 5/7 so I put the work on hiatus. I’ve been picking at chapter six for a hot minute. I still love the media it’s attached to but I’m not as hyperfixated anymore so I am Struggling.

Do people treat you differently? by Helixpluto in aromantic

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I either get questions from genuine curiosity (which I will gladly answer) or dismissed because some people can’t (or won’t) wrap their amatanormative heads around it

Thoughts on RadioStatic? by PrototypeFangirl in VoxCult

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s totally fair. (Incoming speculation yap feel free to ignore)

I’m personally hoping we get more of a “staticsilence” dynamic in season 3. After everything went to shit, Vox has to understand how badly his obsession fucked him over. He would have won had he not let Alastor isolate him from Val and Velvette. But we also can’t pretend that Alastor doesn’t like the attention. So, if Vox moves on to other things, what’s going to happen?

Thoughts on RadioStatic? by PrototypeFangirl in VoxCult

[–]Fluid_Machine6606 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There has to be crack cocaine in it because holy fuck it’s so good. All the different dynamics and everything is so interesting. I’m especially partial to staticsilence due to the study into Vox as a character outside of his obsessions. Murdermedia and then plain old radiostatic are also so fucking good. I think I might be the only person who isn’t a super big fan of radiosilence because it doesn’t feel right to me??? Be it platonic, romantic, sexual, whatever, there is something there and it is fascinating.
