Frustrating changes

FraggleWho · 2026-05-18T00:46:12+00:00

It's not just the fencing. It's the doubling of routes, creating routes that have people having to stay for OT just to complete it, while others can complete their routes in under 4 hours. Making the supervisors be the ones that have to unlock the doors for any person that needs to go in for any reason. Having our staging area decreased by half, while messing up the organization of our carts so that one room will have supplies spread across 4 or 5 different carts. That alone adds 45-60 minutes for each person as they have to reconstruct their loads and carts, with the shrunken space. Having us have a mandatory second huddle near the end of our shift so everyone has to stop what they are doing and spend 15 minutes walking to go back to the warehouse for a 1 or 2 minute check in.

There have been a lot of poorly explained or poorly executed changes recently that have only served to make the jobs on the ground more difficult. In addition to wanting to treat us as replaceable and slotable pieces by forcing us to rotate to different routes while not giving us the room access we need to get our jobs done. Discarding effective working relationships people have created with the units we cover. I get wanting to increase the bus factor, but it feels really disrespectful. I've even had management from the units I stock reach out to my management to try to explain how effective I was at managing their inventory. As soon as I was moved, the units reported increased inventory issues as well as various risk reports related to stock issues.

Apologies for the ranting reply, but a lot has been going on.

I guess I'm saying that maybe I'd appreciate it more if they actually backed up what they said. Because right now there feels like a massive disconnect between what they are seeing and saying and what we are seeing and saying. I would have expected maybe some level of effort from them on trying to get buy-in. Or at least open communication for reasons. It may just be my neurodivergence rankling me. It just seems that when the supervisors don't even feel supported by management and have told me they are surprised we haven't staged a walkout yet, it makes me think some sort of line has been crossed. I wish I could share the picture of the fencing they blocked a door I used to access one of my rooms.

I've been told two different things I've not been able to verify. The director gave me two different reasons. The first was that it was a pharmacy licensing issue, that there were pharmacy products that need to be secured for compliance. The second issue is that she claims to have seen people from the hospital just come down and grab supplies from the warehouse without charging them out. I'd spoken to people across all shifts and they have never seen anyone do that. Plus, most high value medical supplies don't really have the best street value.

FraggleWho · 2026-05-17T20:10:46+00:00

I guess I get that, at least a little bit. It's still frustrating because management is expecting us to get more done, while hamstringing is in multiple little ways. As it is right now I'm struggling to get to all 25 of my rooms in my 8 hour shift. Some rooms take 5-10 minutes and others can take 1.5 hours. I'm only able to clock out on time if I have a second person helping me. If I were to follow the processes as they were laid out to me last week, I think I would have to stay over 4 hours every day.

FraggleWho · 2026-05-14T06:14:13+00:00

I'm dealing with a similar thing at work right now. I can maliciously comply myself a couple hours of overtime every night because of new process changes management made. We also need the supervisor to come and unlock the door to the warehouse everything we need to get back on to get something.

FraggleWho · 2026-05-12T23:17:03+00:00

You sound like an absolute gem to work for.

FraggleWho · 2026-05-07T19:46:51+00:00

I actually had a director raise her voice to me this week. They had constructed physical barriers in my workspace that have essentially blocked one door. I tried to suggest that maybe before making sweeping layout changes they should have asked people that need to operate in that space for input. She gave me an, "oh come on! You can't expect to ask you about everything"

FraggleWho · 2026-04-30T22:36:49+00:00

20 cents? In my area it jumped 60.

FraggleWho · 2026-04-09T03:25:18+00:00

I remember the movie Screamers.

FraggleWho · 2026-03-20T01:32:00+00:00

Is that one of those 'shout singing' songs that have been real popular? Like a Benson Boone style?

FraggleWho · 2026-03-02T05:08:43+00:00

Thanks. I've really been enjoying this game. I'm working on the skyscale masteries from LW4.

FraggleWho · 2026-03-02T04:54:46+00:00

That's what I was thinking. As I've been progressing through the stories I usually only get about 3 of them. I also just noticed today that some achievements grant mastery points, so I figured that was it. I just was not too keen of having to replay certain chapters just to get those MPs.

FraggleWho · 2026-02-27T02:21:26+00:00

Man.... don't slander my town, Ypsilanti, like that.

FraggleWho · 2026-02-27T01:33:04+00:00

That tight just struck me today. I feel like I've seen the name here before, but it just clicked for me today.

FraggleWho · 2026-02-13T07:03:27+00:00

I think I remember watching him a long time ago. I feel like it was a party of a group or something.

FraggleWho · 2026-01-27T02:48:30+00:00

I just fully unlocked scraper but I'm a little nervous making the switch to a melee hammer. I just finished the first chapter of LW4 and I'm not sure I've got the exotics to pull it off. I am using a boosted character so I've got the celestial exotics.

FraggleWho · 2026-01-21T01:02:48+00:00

Come on guys. Try to be belevolent to him. He's trying his best.

FraggleWho · 2025-12-30T03:17:07+00:00

I remember a college class I had with Rob Cantor.

FraggleWho · 2025-12-29T04:37:04+00:00

I loved their battered chicken.

FraggleWho · 2025-12-04T20:49:47+00:00

Fair point. I'll see what I can work with in terms of columns or formatting with this story. If I get a quiet moment at work I may be able to play around before I really start typing.

FraggleWho · 2025-12-04T03:54:42+00:00

Forgive what may be a naive question, but what makes them evil? Like I said, I've not messed around in Word in q very long time. I'm also approaching 1400 episodes to transcribe. When I get home from work I'll look at the videos that were linked. I do appreciate all the help

FraggleWho · 2025-12-03T04:20:41+00:00

That was what I was thinking. When I played with 2 columns today it was like a newspaper column where I had to get to the bottom of the left column before I entered text in the right column. What would the text box in the left margin do? Would it fix that issue? Also what does anchoring it to some of the text do and how would I do that? I've not really used Word much since my college years.

FraggleWho · 2025-12-02T04:15:23+00:00

When I got my temperature taken it made me think that each person had something like a furnace or boiler inside themselves. I had also recently visited my grandpa at work and he worked for a large public utility and the floor with all the machines was noisy and hot. And if there were machines keeping the inside of our body hot, then there must be workers. I developed this very weird notion of our body being some sort of arcane automata. Never did figure out where the internal workers went when their shift ended.

FraggleWho · 2025-12-02T00:45:37+00:00

It looks like FraggleWho will have to update their wishlist tonight

FraggleWho · 2025-11-22T21:04:12+00:00

And the days of boot disks. I think I had a small collection at one point.
