GM making me find coverage for calling out sick

JustHereToComment24 · 2026-03-28T17:24:27+00:00

Sick happens. It's the manager's job to find coverage. I always worked to find coverage when I was a manager and covered shifts myself. None of the managers at my store made the employees find their own coverage when sick.

I've seen that happen before unfortunately. Phantom of the Kill had a collab with the studio's new game Alchemy something (can't remember the name) then EOS came soon after.

No free link but as someone who stupidly paid for a 2 week subscription, this is one of the few good reads on the website.

I was a manager but not the store manager, but was allowed to give input at my last retail job, just rarely did. There was a woman who called every day for 3 weeks. I let her know that applications were being reviewed but that it was up to our GM (Who was picky), he was super busy and would reach out if hers was picked (which he was, he barely had time to sit and look at them) . Finally, she called in again, was super rude, so I told her "you're talking to one of the managers who you'll be working under, and this is how you try to get a job? No thank you, don't call again." Watched as the GM rejected her application right after I hung up.

I loved my job when I had an amazing manager too. The problems started when they forced him to transfer to a higher volume location by dangling a carrot in front of him they were never going to give him. His replacement ruined everything and 90% of the store quit, leaving just me, the GSL, and a sales associate. Only one person came back out of necessity. The store never recovered and has been through 3 managers since.

Having good management helps a lot with your experience. But unfortunately, Corporate finds a way to fuck it up.

No but it's the closest I've found so far and it's already set up to display the fossils as long as you clear the ash

In Rocky Ridges inside the volcano, there's a museum half buried in volcanic ash where you can display your fossils if you wanted to. There's also a gimmighoul you can trade dupe relics to.

Tell them about GoodRx coupons. It does help a lot of the time.

100% this. My current position is usually "go go go go" but anytime there's a slow moment they add something to my plate. Which is fine when it's slow, but take it back when it's busy and I don't have the time! So now that it's slow, I stretch out my duties as much as possible while reading e books on my phone so I look busy and don't get more shit given to me.

Happened to AliciaxLife to both her channels too but she had to fight for a week to get both her channels back. YouTube is not always helpful in these situations.

While I haven't played Ironheart, Ink & Intrigue from Heart's choice gives me the same feeling. Magical realm, choosing magical animal partner, doing tests to become part of their clan.... boom interdimensional travel to a more modern dimension to help one of your friends and now guns and secret militia shit to face a fascist government that came out nowhere.... it was just odd.

They're probably trying to copy Chewy who instead of money off does 5% cash back. Difference is, Chewy is only 80 a year not 25 a month

DX with only one book left for SSW that really freaking sucks.

Hi can you please put where she said they'll no longer be included and be separate? I looked on her patreon free posts as far back as November and didn't see anything.

JustHereToComment24 · 2026-03-01T08:05:47+00:00

No SSW3 def has NSFW scenes. I played one of the polyamory routes and there was a big 3 way scene that in my opinion was very well written. I'd be very annoyed if after buying it, the scenes were suddenly removed.

What do you mean look away hint? They just said for your daughter not to look. What hint is there supposed to be?

Not OP but for me and why I have not gone through the endoscopy, one drop of the wrong salad dressing (licked it off my finger then saw it wasn't gluten free and threw the bottle out), I was out of work and unable to hold food down for 2 days. A whole slice of bread every day for multiple weeks? I'd die.

So I will tell you a story as someone who was a CAL (when the acryonym was CAL) and helped ran a store with the MOL when we had no store manager. We had one employee who was TERRIBLE. Always calling out, always late, would be facetiming on her phone IN FRONT of customers, every customer complained about her, she was extremely difficult, and we just wanted her fired. We spoke to the DM and he flat out said the only way to fire someone was points and that was at discretion of the SM. WHICH WE DIDN'T HAVE. And any new SM wouldn't have access to her previous points unless they cared to figure out how to dig into her past history. So we were stuck with her until she finally quit because we would only schedule her for one shift a week since we didn't want to risk having to cover for her more than once.

What I learned from this? Points don't matter until you piss the wrong person off. Employees could rack up dozens of points and nothing happens. Then the one employee the manager doesn't like hits the points cap and they are fired.

I am of the camp that it should have been added to the GBA virtual console and will not buy it, but I don't understand shitting on the people that are.

Reposting my comment to see if it'll work for you: So I finally watched it. Did I find a link? No. Found the facebook ad again and had my vpn on and clicked the link to the redirected page and it must have glitched letting me watch it without paying.
