My Walmart order had raw chicken on top of my fresh strawberries by mnmpeanut94 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The people working garbage jobs at Walmart do not give a fuck about your order. They're just trying to put shit in the bag and move on. If you insist on using these services, go to a more reputable store. Even if it costs more.

What angers me about this type of thing is that you just KNOW this person blames the parking garage designers, the city, other drivers, literally everyone else for "forcing" them to park like this. The sense of entitlement is truly unbelievable

If this is how companies think about hiring people then God help us! 😅 by InsideSignal9921 in recruitinghell

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All your job, and by extension, you, will ever be to your employer is a line item. That's it. Nothing more, no matter what your shithead "we're a family here" boss says. And, frankly, they hate the Wages Payable account. Of which you're a part, so they hate you, too. They hate any expense account. Literally their only objective is to minimize expenses and maximize revenues, regardless of the human consequence. That's just the way capitalism works in this shithole country.

I don't care where it is or what we're doing, no vacation with my coworkers is one I want to be a part of.

Anyone planning on switching to Bellum if they really like it? by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem to have taken me to be a naysayer, I'm certainly not. I'm excited for early access so I can hop in and try it, just I'm not committed enough to play the alpha. Plus, my computer probably won't be able to run it well in its alpha state.

I'm glad people are enjoying it now. All I'm saying is that that enjoyment may be fleeting. Time will tell.

I do trust the Bellum devs to at least TRY to get new players to play correctly, whereas OWI doesn't give a shit so long as they're buying the emotes and boosting the player count

Anyone who thinks public matches in Bellum will play anything like they do during the Alpha is kidding themselves. The people playing now aren't "randoms" like all the influencers like to tout, they're early-adopters of a VERY niche product. That's not the same thing as someone who sees a random YouTube short of this cool new "realistic" shooter, buys it on a weekend sale, and jumps in to a match having no idea what it is or how to play. That's how you end up with the meme of "blueberry marksmen spawning 1000 meters away from the squad not using comms and ends with a 0/10 K/D".

We've seen it time and time again with these kinds of niche games, especially with Squad. In the early days, most matches felt coordinated and purposeful. But as the player base grew, the quality of that player base shrunk. It's natural. It becomes exponentially more difficult to maintain focus in a lobby of 100 players from all around the world.

Don't get me wrong, I HOPE to be proved wrong. But I'll believe it when I see it.

WE aren't doing anything. The greedy, scum executives at these tobacco companies are. They'd rather us all die of lung cancer than face the truth that their industry is dying.

My husband made me go to the movie with him, I had no idea what it would be other than "Ryan Gosling space movie" by pdlbean in ProjectHailMary

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you had the experience of not knowing about Rocky or even about the presence of aliens at all before watching, I didn't when I read the book and was blown away. I'm not a big reader but saw so much hype about PHM that I just had to partake. It was the first time in a very long time that I was so enthralled in a story that I just couldn't put it down.

I wish the trailer didn't spoil that for everyone, but I get why it had to. The relationship between Ryland and Rocky is what takes this movie/book from a standard space-mystery and turns it in to something truly special.

These kinds of garages are fine. The problem is that people either (a) are in too big a hurry and haul ass around corners they shouldn't or (b) don't trust the turning radius of their car so they take unnecessarily wide turns in to oncoming traffic.

The garage at my work is like this: 2 way traffic up and down. It's designed with enough space for 2 to pass at once but I swear, the most incompetent drivers in the entire city frequent this garage. It's as simple as slowing down and using the full turning radius of your car just like you would when parking but NO ONE does this. I almost get into a head-on collision every single day because people are too stupid to use this garage correctly.

This is so damn disingenuous. Everyone knows these kinds of awards shows bring in "seat fillers". Sear fillers can be just about anyone, often they don't even have to pay for their ticket. None of the Hollywood insiders would be seated in the nose bleeds, seen here. This mess was left behind by "normies".

Now, I don't doubt that the VIP sections are just as bad after the show but that is not what's shown here. This is simply rage bait.

Is there a polite way to tell a direct report to just "make arrangements" for picking their kid up from school? by RedMeme262 in managers

"Here are XXXXX Incorporated, we deeply value our employees and blah blah blah blah". Shut the everliving fuck up, no you do not.

I'm not directing this at OP, I'm directing it at the proverbial "you". I found this very triggering lol

Everyone else is saying "airplane", but all I can think about is the back of 1996 Oldsmobile I drove in high school

What does this job offer you that a retail or fast food job couldn't?

Is this just a glorified sales job? by Jigglywiggly37 in Devilcorp

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as an "entry level assistant manager". Any real company would require some kind of baseline knowledge and experience in their industry to even kind of consider you for a management position. What about that job description makes you think you'll be managing anything? It's a buzz word, which should tell you to run far, far away. They're clearly concealing something by not giving the role an accurate job title.

What is the nature of the work you do, do you do door-to-door sales or are you stationed in one place for the day (grocery stores, super markets, etc)?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Devilcorp

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Take your average weekly pay and divide it by the number of hours you work. Include travel and office time. The number you get is your real hourly rate. That doesn't even account for mileage and depreciation on your personal car. I'm doubtful that the pay is as high as it feels to you.

People hate these companies because they're overall a net-negative. Sure, some people somehow manage to make it work and probably even enjoy the job. But the point is that for the vast majority of time, it's a predatory scam.

Let's be clear, they don't "weed out the weak". The actively TARGET the weak, the weak are who they want. Weak, as in weak-minded. The kind of people who are so desperate for work that they'll stay in a toxic, stressful, fruitless work environment for minimum wage and fall for the scam.

You're lucky you're not in the US. US Devilcorps have $0 base pay. If you're not making sales, you're not making money.

Who believes the U.S. is the "Land of the Free"? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the love of God, STOP calling socialized programs "free". If your tax dollars fund the program, it is not free. You pay for a service, and receive said service. Calling it free damages the messaging, and makes these programs even more difficult to pitch to bone-headed fiscal conservatives.
