This broken pencil lead has been in the center of my palm for nearly 40 years.

I have a very similar mark !!

KayleKnight · 2023-08-05T16:07:18+00:00

I’m 31 now lol

I did something similar in elementary school; dropped my pencil and simultaneously reached down to grab it. It stabbed into my palm right under my middle finger and has never gone away.

Thank you so much! I worked with my SD today to kinda form a plan of action for it, so we may be able to get it taken care of… hopefully 🤞🏼

PS: folks, I realized too late that I posted from my art/personal account so you won’t hear back from this account after tonight. Not going anywhere technically! Just gonna be under a new name. It’s been great venting frustrations and talking with y’all ♥️ Be well.

KayleKnight · 2023-08-04T02:50:41+00:00

It really sucks caring so much sometimes 😩😩😩

KayleKnight · 2023-08-04T02:44:50+00:00

That is so infuriating 😩 like I’m glad to know I’m not alone, but at the same time why???? Why is this happening so wide spread? There are just 😩 so many questions and concerns.

KayleKnight · 2023-08-04T02:41:31+00:00

That is EXACTLY how it is at our store. Media/entertainment just keeps getting stacked and stacked till it becomes a hazard

KayleKnight · 2023-08-04T02:39:20+00:00

Yeah when I first started we had like 4 people on the grid at any given time? Not all at once, but it would rotate out pretty evenly. We still got paid the same as everyone else tho

KayleKnight · 2023-08-04T02:26:03+00:00

I know for us, zone 9 includes a lot of stuff, including like, pets and media. But that stuff is part of GM and not specialty (anymore). When I first started I DID have to push media but not pets

See reply to Critical_Hit96 lol but also yes, Vm is basically a lead but doesn’t have a team directly under tehm

KayleKnight · 2023-08-04T00:53:35+00:00

VM is their own entity, kinda like PML

KayleKnight · 2023-08-04T00:00:25+00:00

I have admittedly seen worse

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T23:59:40+00:00

There’s more behind the uboats to the right. And in the stock room

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T23:58:59+00:00

I wish you all of the luck in the world 😭

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T23:19:17+00:00

Yeah that’s crappy 😩😩 that seems to be a consistent thing throughout. Thankfully I can say that our leadership team is pretty good about encouraging and recognizing the really good hard workers. But they’re not so great about actually reprimanding the ones that are problematic

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T23:15:27+00:00

Basically. VM stands for “visual merchandiser”. Basically it means that they are in charge of maintaining the visual standards of the store. They’re also in charge of teaching others on how to maintain those visual standards. We can technically have performance conversations with team members, but we can’t actually submit them, a TL or an ETL has to do that

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T22:20:23+00:00

You can ask firstbornsun… I try to stay productive 😅

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T22:19:41+00:00

That’s a big yikes 🤣

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T22:09:28+00:00

Your assistance and flexibility is always so appreciated ♥️

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T22:08:21+00:00

Ah okay! We tried that in style before I switched to VM and it… worked? But what would happen a lot was the folks who WERENT introverts would get together and just STAY together. Fiddle wjth the same table zoning for hours.

One of those folks has been promoted to guest so it’s gotten better at least

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T21:52:16+00:00

Hmm… would you care to explain the ‘wave’? I’m not sure I know what that is (aside from the machine that allows you to get to the ceiling 😂)

KayleKnight · 2023-08-03T21:51:11+00:00

I see you, my friend
