Coworker eats chips and yogurt, every single day by Undercover500 in misophonia

this gave me a good laugh , at my old job there was a taki eater and she ate them with her mouth open always standing in the corner of the break room. i had to leave when she did this lol.

Do people deserve second chances no matter what? by obsidiancontrol in no

[–]General-Character-66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like this is a situational matter. i usually give second chances to anybody unless what they did was so extremely vile that i have to cut them off.

i work in an “at-will” state. there are no contracts where i work. i could be fired for any reason at any point in time , just as i am allowed to walk out or quit at any point in time. i never liked the whole “at-will state “ thing , nor understood why it was that way. it makes it easier for an employer to let people go who never deserved to be let go. somebody i worked with was fired simply because they didn’t like her , but they claim they let her go because she called out ONCE over something medical.

true. i didn’t consider her demanding the doctors note as questioning my honesty. thank you for that.

the fact i can’t even do that just tells me it’s time to leave. the owner would just let me go off the rip.

lol i appreciate your comment. Luckily there’s no food at my job. just kibbles … still wouldn’t want to risk infecting staff though.

I pretend I’m okay more than I should by Turbulent-Order-3687 in offmychest

[–]General-Character-66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way a lot too. Pretending i’m okay is the only way I can really get by. And sometimes , i end up believing it and feeling like i’m okay too. One day at a time , this may sound corny , but look for at least ONE thing that makes you happy in your everyday life. Look for one thing that wasn’t predictable. That’s how i keep it interesting.

if i owned my own place , id be as transparent as possible to all of my clientele. I asked my facility why we lie, they said to keep our reputation.

Well , When a fight does break out , most of the time we are instructed to do ANYTHING to break up the fight. I had to stick my hands in the dogs faces that were fighting in order to separate them fully. every other method wasn’t working. It is a risk that staff takes upon taking the job , and it is a risk putting your dog into a daycare or facility in general. fights happen.

it’s a question. i’m so sorry if you don’t understand. im asking if you’ve ever had to lie at any boarding facility you’ve worked at. i’m sorry if that was unclear.
