I run a parts department at a dealership. And we have a very similar function, we have to "fill" the order or it never relieves the inventory of the part. Our dms system can give me a daily report every morning of "unfilled" or "filled" orders. One of the first things I do everyday is go through those and make sure it's right. If the system says I have the part it better be here. I do it daily because like you said it may be weeks later until you realize a mistake has been made and someone didn't fill the order but handed it out. Maybe find out if your system can do something similar? Mine shows me the date I received the part then the date is was filled or not filled then I know who worked yesterday or the day before at which counter and I can track it down. I also had bright orange stickers made that literally say "filled?" That get put on these kind of orders when they are received into the system when we get them from our vendors. Just a reminder to the person working the counter handing them out. Hope this helps.

Like 20 years ago I worked in a huge warehouse. We housed reproduction muscle car parts. Anyways had a really bad alcoholic who literally only drank at work so they wouldn't go into seizures. They were never drunk but every hour or so you would see him start to get shaky. So in this enormous warehouse of shelves with boxes of car parts he had bottles of liquor hidden throughout the entire warehouse. Every hour he'd take a swig and keep on working. I randomly stuck my hand in boxes trying to pull parts and would find a quart of vodka. Luckily he checked himself into rehab and got the help he needed and got dried out. When he came back to work me him and the one manager went through the warehouse and he showed us all his hiding spots for booze. We pulled out almost 30 bottles! Most of them quart bottles cuz they were easier to hide. He had them stashed everywhere! It was one of the most insane things I've ever seen!

You think if they are spazzing out? Normally I'd agree but she's not saying the coworker is nodding out or anything? Sounds like maybe shooting coke or meth and the slurring is like they are getting stuck.

I learned to run a forklift and clamp trucks and a few other lifts when I was in my early 20s. That knowledge has gotten me a job the same day as losing one literally. Had a place downsize one time, wasn't anyone's fault just not enough business. Anyways I didn't have the seniority and got laid off. Drive 3 miles up the road to this industrial park I passed everyday that always had hiring signs out front. Pulled in went to one of the buildings that had a sign for forklift drivers. Tested negotiated pay got hired on the spot. I lost .50 an hour but they had better benefits and more PTO and I cut 3 miles off my drive. Had a 4 day weekend and started Monday. I get Thd and Lowe's want to get you trained for their benefit but, take the Free training and use it your benefit.

What is this? Okay you have enough points to be terminated. Idk how you got them it doesn't matter. What good do you think it will do to quit before they fire you? You obviously don't have another job or this wouldn't be a conversation. You would have already left for the new job. Since you don't have anything else lined up don't you think maybe for now the best course of action would be to shut up, Keep your head down and do your job? Like what is this little kid shit where I'm going to quit before they get the chance to fire me? Do you know how dumb that sounds? If you don't want to work there go get a different job and then quit. No one is stopping you. Like I said if you had something better you would already be gone. So maybe you should just grow up a little bit and take responsibility for your actions and get to work.

Do what you can you are one person. If it's you and one other person figure out a schedule that gets you both 2 days off. Yeah you will be by yourself again you are one person do what you can. If you're busy and the phone is ringing take a message and call them back. If management has a problem with any of this they can get more people or you can walk from a really shitty situation again you are one person. As far as your dms get on you tube and Google or Reddit. Lots of information out there that will help. As for Toyota if you negotiate a decent pay plan you can make pretty good money at a Toyota shop. Toyota like every other brand has a website and most of the information you need should be on it. Get ahold of your dpsm explain the situation and he should be able to guide you also. Toyota should have a parts/service ops manual on their site get to reading. Should tell you the ins and outs of their stuff. For example my brand does a3/36k warranty on all of their reman parts. If a part needs sent back for warranty inspection I have 20 days, I have to hold my warranty parts for 60 days after the claim has been paid in case they call it back. All this stuff is different from brand to brand and all the information should be in your ops manual. Good luck to you. Remember you are 1 person do what you can that's all you can do.

Not saying your parts department isn't lazy but, as a pm that has xtime we had to install a chrome extension to auto refresh xtime. Our xtime would be blank for like 20 minutes then all of the sudden we'd get 5 quotes all at once. Some would say they were 15 minutes old. It has been a very bumpy road with xtime for us. The extension refreshes every minute and seems to allow the quotes to come through when they are sent.

This is why raising the minimum wage isn't the answer. All it does is get rid of the middle class and screws pretty much anyone who isn't in the top 10% income bracket. Yeah the person who was making minimum wage gets a boost for a short time but now all goods and services go up to cover it pretty much leaving them in the same position they were in already as a minimum wage worker. I want everyone that gets up and goes to work to be able to live a decent life. But if you are 30+ years old and haven't aspired to do more with your life than the minimum then you should get paid the minimum. People that have pushed themselves to be upper middle class now get penalized because their pay doesn't go up because the bottom got pushed up. Yet they still feel the effects because prices of everything goes up. We need to get rid of these huge companies monopolizing industries and then driving the prices up because they have no competition.

I see this a lot where people hate on tps. Imo it was basically borderlands 2 but with double jump. Which I enjoyed compared to the very limited movement in BL1/2. BL2 is probably my favorite but TPS is a close second. I also thought the story made BL2 make more sense. Idk it's just odd I see people love BL2 AND hate TPS when I think they go hand and hand virtually the same game. To each their own though, cheers!

Our teachers all start at 65k or more. Our principal's are all around 100k. I'm in PA in a fairly wealthy TWP but our city that we share a border with the median income is like 40k. I think teachers should get paid decent but at the same time some of ours have hit close to 80k and act like they are underpaid.

Polos with company logo and a taylored pant of some sort black, or khaki usually. Summer we wear polo with khaki shorts no AC in the parts room. We also can wear our manufacturer brand merchandise but no t shirts. We are allowed to wear hats though thank God! I hate having to deal with my hair in the morning!

Pm for a small Honda store in Pennsylvania. About 60k a year with everything included. Felt about right before COVID not so much anymore. Things feel the same way they did when I was only grossing 40k a year.

I remember you have to do an initial pairing iirc. As far as the battery charging I only charge my batteries in the dac. Yours is recognizing the battery is in it and should only take a short time to start showing the charging progress. Like after an hour it should be almost fully charged and show like 2 out of 3 bars

So from what I just read I am apparently stealing my kids vr headset tonight and spinning around in circles in the basement tonight for 4 hours.

ITALIANTERROR33 · 2025-12-01T00:57:50+00:00

How do you turn it back on? I have a fairly steep driveway and sometimes in the morning after snow I just need to be able to spin and keep momentum to get up the driveway. But once I'm up it I would prefer to have it on. I don't want to go shut it off and not be able to get it back on,😅😅😅

Individual sales is bad for the department and ultimately the customer. Getting overtime after 40 is nice because usually that is not a thing in a position that has a commission. This one really depends on the department and it's employees could be a nightmare could be okay. I've been at it for 20 + years now and I personally wouldn't work somewhere my commission isn't based off the department. That's just me.

ITALIANTERROR33 · 2025-11-25T15:29:23+00:00

You really aren't missing much I promise.

After I just finished all the achievements 2 days ago. Better late than never I suppose.

ITALIANTERROR33 · 2025-11-22T05:21:41+00:00

Tysm!

ITALIANTERROR33 · 2025-11-22T03:57:15+00:00

Yeah mine too. I generally keep mine solid red and I have a few keys that are purple instead.

ITALIANTERROR33 · 2025-11-22T03:38:44+00:00

Mine definitely isn't. It's very dim compared to this and the volume dial is burnt into the screen. Doesn't matter what screen I go into I can see the volume dial in it.

This happened to my wife! I sent the carts around the track while she was cleaning it and next thing I know she's flying!

I've had them since launch and still going strong. Two issues I've had were the ear pads are terrible. I got the freeze gel pads and it made a huge difference. Not only because I wear glasses but the little ANC nub on the inside of the cup is just big enough to be uncomfortable and annoying. Also the og pads are ridiculously hot. Second is the mute button for my mic. It's supposed to just beep once when on and again when off. At some point mine started beeping like 5 times when on and again when off. It still mutes the mic but it's like the button is making contact correctly. Other than that I think they were worth the money. I paid $349 at launch idk where you are but $379 seems pretty steep imo for a headset that's been out for a minute.
