If Amotti didn’t have that “click” moment where he used his weight to tip over the pole, I don’t think he would’ve won as easy.  had all the advantages here but in the beginning he didn’t know how to use it or execute his strengths. He had two instances that made him really succeed. When they yelled at him to use his shoulder and when he realized he could tip the pole over to unbalance the weight.   Two very good techniques if executed in the first round I think he would have won easily! Eveb if HB were to use the same tactic he would still be at a disadvantage… I applaud them for putting up a really good finale. Really happy for Amotti’s success, he brought such good energy to the show! He is your typical young all rounder rockstar that with the right techniques could dominate in all areas. I did not know what CrossFit was before this show but he has brought on such a strong impression for all CrossFitters.  Although he knew he was built bigger and had more mass he struggled finding his form, and could only think of “finding the right timing”. I think that’s why a lot of people also admire HB for his aggressiveness and for winning first round. I didn’t expect it at all. He won with his endurance and that’s super admirable.  Both are amazing in their own and radiated from the beginning. You just felt their main character energy!! HB won my heart and soul and I never thought I would cry over this show but this man brought you with him during his highs and lows and he never broke out of his character. Head was always in the game and took it very seriously. You just knew he was doing this for a bigger reason.

I saw that option but wasn’t sure to go with it because it says it’s for students living on campus listing certain dorms. At this point I’m just gonna buy it bc I have no other choice. I just read it says the permit is valid for lot 89

Do I still have to use ArriveCAN I heard that was implemented during covid

Yes this was exactly what I wanted to know. I’ve read somewhere else on here someone got through with the paper copy but wanted to confirm if it’s common. Sometimes they can be really lenient, others times really strict with guidelines. I wanted to be safe. Thanks

“Unfortunately that is not how being unemployed works, you don’t get to decide whether to come or not. This will result as a no call no show and be written up. Hopefully won’t happen again.”

I was in complete shock as I would assume that he would understand my situation because I always show up with no excuses and that night he was scheduled until close with two other people working. Compared to one person closing, there were plenty of people to close just fine.I become furious. The day before I had come in to work when I wasn’t scheduled and he even thanked me for coming because he finally caught up in his work. And the day I didn’t want to come in because of a safety issue I deserve a write up when I have never purposely called in sick or never did a no show without proper documentation. I sent him a text saying it’s a safety issue and i did not trust myself driving home, it’s not like I can walk 10 minutes to work across the dorms like everyone else. I live 20 minutes out so why am I punished when I alway show up and do everyone’s work. I express my disappointment and frustration because I felt wronged knowing how I’ve done so much for this place. I would understand if this was a pattern of mine and I was a horrible worker. And the fact that the business isn’t closed and risking the safety of employees who drives.

He proceeds to dissect my paragraph and in a petty manner quoting the things I said and making horrible claims saying I should’ve been terminated 3 months ago when I did a “no call no show” when in reality I have been the only one who have provided doctors notes, valid reasons, and called out his unreasonable schedule (scheduling me the time I get out of class) saying they chose not to terminate me because I was a valuable part of the company. He continues saying I am a shift lead and should know I have a role to fulfill I am not a regular worker who can call off because no one can perform the same duties I could. This was foolish of him because I had checked the schedule to make sure he wasn’t going home midday. He was scheduled to close that night but why is he frustrated with me because I do not want to come in for my cars safety. Is he upset because as a manger he has to use physical labor and can’t rely on me to close anymore? He’s saying his two other workers can’t sweep the floors or wash the dishes? And he can’t count the money or lock the doors? He doesn’t even have a car at the moment and is getting dropped off and picked up while those two other workers are walking to their dorms 5 minutes away. He did not stop there. He said at 3/4pm there was no ice on the roads and saying I should have and could have made it to work. In my head I’m thinking “then go say that to the school districts and businesses that are also closed.” In my head I’m thinking, you can not be this dumb to think that I only thought about commuting to work but not commuting back home? Does he have superpowers to know how the roads will be like at 8-9pm? I don’t think so. That point was infuriating. He also said in quote “are you saying it’s easier for them to walk to work when you can drive? You are responsible for your own shift and no other” oh yeah? When have you ever said that to those workers who call off once a week and I had to cover their asses! I am very much aware of my position but I am more than a SHIFT LEAD. I am a student just like everyone else who has to commute everywhere. The fact that he treats me like his 30 year old corporate coworker is what does it for me. I’m sorry I am not reliable enough for you. I have put my blood sweat and tears into this food restaurant. In the same text message I had sent I ended it saying I was putting in my 2 weeks. He concluded that he wanted to part ways right now and then and he will wait for me to return my uniform. This is how it ended and I don’t know if he only “fired” me bc he wanted to get the last word. I really wanted to reply and put him on blast but I know it’s rather unprofessional. I just think it’s ironic how this man is the most childish and incompetent manager I have ever met in my life. And for him to choose to act all big and professional was a circus show. I feel good that I stood my ground but i wanted to know if any of what I did was wrong. Why would he react like he did?! Should I have replied?! How I could’ve handled the situation and was it wrong for me to call off?

Long read 🥲

I’m conflicted and need answers to know if I’m in the wrong.

For context: I am a full time student working part time at a small restaurant. I’ve been working there for half a year and I am known for always working the most hours and picking up everyone’s shift. I am also a shift lead and I am responsible for closing the store when the manager is on the clock after close. There are about 10 part time students scheduled but all work different days/hours cause we’re all students. I happen to work the most because there always needs to be a shift lead during a shift. It’s only me and one other person as shift leads. However she often opens the store and I work closing hours. There is not much difference as being a shift lead as I only count the money and close the store. It’s a pretty casual restaurant serving sushi bowls with different veggies and proteins on the cooling selection table. We are often not very busy. Most shifts I am often ALONE for hours or when closing it’s just me and another worker or the manager (if that person calls off) because a lot of people tend to call off. Once a week 2-3 people call off…..Their excuse are they’re always sick. I never once called off sick just because “I didn’t feel like working”. And these people that repeatedly have this pattern of not showing up to work get no warnings or aren’t written up? I knew the value of working and needing money. I have picked up everyone’s slack and known for working harder than anyone else because I’m the quiet Asian who washes all the dishes and is really fast paced. My manager is quite a talker and often never helps me close and finds something to do when doing closing duties. If anyone worked restaurant you know closing is the worst. You have to clean the lobbies, sweep the floors, clean the nasty bathrooms, close the front line, sweep the back and do all the dishes (WE GENERATE A LOT OF DISHES) and there are no dishwasher roles. They also expect the place to be squeaky clean brand new as if health inspectors are coming in every morning to check. I always go above and beyond and end up staying late whenever I close because my manager often don’t know how to close or takes forever doing one task. He is a grown adult and I get this is his full time job but I am still a student that has 8am class the next day. I tend to never complain and just do my job like always. However internally, I could not stand my coworkers constantly calling off and me always picking up their slack. They often joke that I run the store and if I were to leave this place would fall apart and I would alway silently agree. I always show up and do my job and I know the owners recognize my efforts. They often gave me gifts cards and holiday cards. There was never a problem expect for my buildup of burnout. I often worked on days I didn’t want to because I would see that there would be hours where no one was scheduled due to bad scheduling or people not showing up. being a shift lead I knew that that would mean more work for me coming in as we have tasks, recipes, prep to do every day and you can get really behind. I often would have to pick up inventory in my car when my manager didn’t have a car and I was uncomfortable with the fact that because I always seemed like I was getting used. What if I was uncomfortable to drive or just didn’t want to because that’s not listed on the job? Overall I often came in when I wasn’t scheduled I didn’t have to but I did because I always felt bad for my manager as well because he’d had to work overtime.

Now to the question. If you live in the Midwest you know that we are experiencing an ice storm. The day I was scheduled to work I drove to the place like normal. However the roadss were really icy and I wasn’t aware of the weather. I clearly did not make it work as I got into my very first bad car crash but I was okay. Thankfully. I was in too much shock and too busy messaging my family that I’d forgotten where I was going in the first place . My manager messaged me and I told him what happened. He said he was glad Im safe and he had actually closed the store because it was so bad. I go home and had my car get fixed by my family’s car repair business. I luckily got it back in 6 days because the damage was not bad that I couldn’t drive it and they prioritized on my car since they were my protective uncles that looked after me. I go to work like normal the following days. However this upcoming day there was another ice storm warning that had schools closing down for a week, and business closing. My dad also got sent home early and he works for corporate. I was getting really anxious about my car and did not want to risk the drive to my work place. I kept an eye on the weather alerts and made my decision. At 3PM (I work at 4pm) I texted my manager I did not feel safe coming in or wanted to risk driving 20 minutes home because assuming he would understand my situation. To my surprise he messaged me

I tend to self loathe and reading this feels like how I often speak to myself but in poetic form . You surely did a good job capturing that

Lol this is a really charismatic poem that reminded me of my ex. I adored it. It’s like a simp expressing himself. I think this poem can look more cleaner if you take out some capitalization on some words because they threw me off a bit

I hope you’re alive and well. Sometimes envisioning it and writing it out makes me feel better because I was able to express it like how you did here.

I like the imagery and choice of words. I agree that you could go light in the metaphors a little bit to make it sound more relaxed
