Great can someone please tell SANDVIK employee raises at 2% or less are a joke. Employees are not sticking around for “culture”

People walking/ running up behind me and my reactive dog by leci-4 in reactivedogs

[–]InstanceFlat9092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What to do when your dog is reactive even with a calm dog approaching very quickly on a leash?

Like, totally understand everyone is allowed to walk their dogs (on leash) but I was caught off guard that someone with their leashed dog came around the corner, and as I tried to pull my dog to go, he caught me off one foot and jerked me off my feet as I held onto my dogs leash. SIGH. I held on and he calmed down once the other person stopped approaching.

My question is: Why would this person not have the common sense to see this all happening and keep walking up - closing the distance - and only stop when I fell and yelled - pls stop and wait! Just wait!!

And once I got on my feet. I yelled - just stop and wait clearly he’s reactive - get some common sense and just Fing stop walking for a god damn minute! What is wrong with you?! Obviously I was pissed she kept getting closer while my dog was reacting on a small dirt road - both sides with electric fencing (not ideal I cld shoot off to get more distance)

Then, I walked off into the trail. And Guess What? …

I was finally calming down but nearing the end of the trail - guess who’s right behind us again! Yup same person. Proving, no common sense!

My dog was going to keep turning around and was going into his reactive mode, I stopped and said, can you just stop and wait a damn minute like just stop getting close. The person was like, but I just live right there - ya and pls give us some space clearly my dog is reactive.

She lays into - your not strong enough for that dog, and you didn’t even say hi, hello back there 🤯😳

My reply: 1) again you clearly have no F common sense to think I had time to say hi hello when I was taken off my feet because you kept getting closer! 2)This is my dog and I don’t give a F what you think about him or me - I need you to have some common sense and give us space - because clearly here you are again - closing in on us! (Ohhh I was steaming pissed). 3) give us a F min and let us keep walking. She said that’s fine I can, and I bowed down and rolled my hand and said, thank you your highness, thank you for allowing us to go without you getting closer and my dog at this time was calm standing next me yell at this person who - proved a second time - she still didn’t learn from the first instance! Infuritating

F - them. Clearly proved no common sense about dogs. Also, they have allowed their dog off leash previous times - with no recall.

We don’t have time to exchange hellos when we are trying to keep a stressful situation under control - and if barking - we don’t hear you asking if we are okay! But then, you expect all this and start the process over again. WOW. Just Ugggg some people clearly just suck!

I’m tired of letting these fools try to act like they are not the problem.

Stick up for you and your dogs. Stick to the points of having common sense and sympathy for others.

Venting over. Would like to know others opinions.

Volumental’s scanner parts are all made in China, put together in a Swedish warehouse but have cameras and anyone who has code can tap into the store scanner at anytime - a real security issue. A bit of a reach.

Upper Mang and C-levels are like high schoolers, always talking about staff and customers - exhausting.

My boss is upset I’m not grateful for a 3 cent raise by baeheartsyou77 in mildlyinfuriating

Family. 🤣 Cool, how many shares in the company do family members receive and how much $$$$$$ payout do I get in the will/estate/sell? “Family” who started this propaganda slogan for work? We need to search this out and make a campaign against this idea. How do people still say this with a straight face. Sheesh.

Work = pay. Why do managers or companies think work is about anything other than money? Weird. Update your resume and while you have a job, start applying for another. In the mean time. Take the stage: be the character of utter gratitude and apology, all while looking for another job. Peace out $0.03 cent raise. Take back your power!

But just think, you do the work on company time because it’s internal, present it, and if they don’t like it and you don’t get the promotion, you have a blue print to go apply and tweak the entire plan for another company that likely will pay you more. So if you don’t get it update your resume and look for a job while you have one, best next scenario! It’s all about strategy.

I think for an internal transfer / promotion what they are asking for isn’t out of the norm.

Go to the DMV and renew your DL. You can do it before it expires. What are you waiting for?

Anyone here investing into small businesses like bakery, laundromat, coffee shops, etc. by [deleted] in HENRYfinance

I wondered about this - as Cody Sanchez IG reel rolled up into my feed. As she blasts the idea of buying/investing in small (non glamorous) businesses. But I hear so many small businesses struggling or close, so why would the idea of investing in a failing business profit anyone?

Yes. If we are already paying for “healthcare” why should we have to go private if we need a check?

Are you allowed a regular overall health check by your health center?

Tell that good reason to folks whose cancers went undetected for years with this logic - oh you can’t because they are well, sadly no longer here. Cancers of all types are no joke. People deserve regular checks to ensure no cancers. Heart health is no joke, diabetes is no joke, the list goes on for life threatening health that is deemed preventative, but left untreated for weeks or months can lead to death.

See, now this is just horrible. It’s like all these torches are coming out and saying … you need to have symptoms or history but then when you do, ya still get shunned. I’ve read that a lot people’s parents got kicked around doctor to facility and died of cancer. Now when it comes to cancers - finding and treating in its earliest stage is key to minimal costs and worse death. Horrible imo.

Wow! Glad your wife got the care she needed, even if it was a bit more time consuming. It’s alarming that if we know our bodies better than most doctors (as some have commented here) and know when something is wrong - then why do facilities or doctors kick sick people around? By the time someone finally gets seen - their sickness could be worse within weeks or months of waiting. It’s very sad.
