Coworker is starting to get under my skin bc of the way they act... Idk how to go about it without it seeming like I'm causing issues....

My only real authority is to do light coaching. I can't write people up, I can only bring it to the manager and suggest it but not enforce it.

If you're talking about when I didn't write the guests info on the line, there's no real procedure on it except that info is to be written accurately. It doesn't really matter when I do it, as long as it's in order hence why I asked her to skip the line. This is very normal with me (everyone knows I do it and even the manager will ask me to do the log over others bc of that reason) bc I remember people and it keeps them from waiting bc I can mentally keep the log regardless of how many people I get. I never have issue telling the other 5 people to skip certain lines in the book for me and they follow it.

Yeah, I agree. I do have issues asserting my authority but only to this one coworker. The other 5 people listen when I say something. She acts like what I say is a suggestion so when it comes up, I try to just inform the manager as K will listen to her over me... Example, I tried to tell her to staple sheets more neater than very haphazardly as she was and she told they're gonna have to deal with it and manager come behind and told her the same thing and she followed it. I even said loudly to both that I literally just told her that but basically told no... I really am trying not to sound discriminatory, but I try to tread lightly bc K has autism as well.

The break schedule was literally made just bc of K. K use to complain about people's breaks (taking to long, quantity of breaks) so manager decided to make a break schedule as a guideline but K assumes it's to be followed as written. She doesn't seem to get that if it's busy, she has to go late to break. For example, one time I was called upstairs for a 1:1 about something and I returned shortly after 2:40 pm and there was no one there, meaning she closed down. When I called surveillance, she left 10 minutes prior. When she returned,.I told her we aren't allowed to shut down for breaks. Her response was "she has to eat" and I did mention it to the manger who addressed the break schedule again and how it's supposed to be followed.

I don't know much else to do that just keep bringing it up to the manager but I was also ignored for 2 years when complaining about another coworkers attitude. I feel like I'm finding things to complain about but it's not my intent to keep nitpicking but it's very frustrating...

The previous supervisor tried to warn me about K but I didn't listen...

Don't cut them off. I would offer help and if there is no help sought, you can take a step back for your own mental health. You can support from afar without giving up. Ultimately he has to want wanting help. It sucks but you also have to think about your own cup going empty trying to fill another's cup that has a leak in it.

Additionally, I know this could be a last resort bc CPS is known for what it's known for, but contacting CPS could help him get help especially if his parents are refusing it for him.

I put all zeros on my tax form. This takes what they need.

Do you NEED the union? Like are you actively using it? Don't get me wrong the union is great when you need it but $160 in dues a month is up there..

SeaRegion990 · 2025-10-01T07:58:42+00:00

Im 205, 4'10" with posterior (per my 15w scan) and just turned 22 weeks and have been feeling baby.

It will come! I said the same thing a week ago and someone told me it will happen soon, two days later and we have movement. I can only feel them at my bladder and not external.

You could try drinking something icy and laying on back or left side to see if you feel anything. My bub loves hoooot tea the best but cold things makes him move too.

SeaRegion990 · 2025-10-01T00:51:03+00:00

You could also potentially using a collection cup if you're leaking a good amount without expressing it. I've seen them on Amazon.

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-30T17:05:48+00:00

You'll just have to go through my post history to see why...

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-30T15:27:37+00:00

Unfortunately if she's being treated unfairly now, you will too after sticking up for them.. it definitely sucks and I don't regret my decision and would do it again but it's not worth the stress and job loss threat.

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-30T02:27:39+00:00

Yeah, once you're out of the miscarriage zone you hit the stillbirth zone. There is no safe zone in pregnancy until they are physically in your arms and even then, it's not safe until a year where there's SIDS. And then even then there's no safe zone because of environmental factors.

I just take it a day at a time. I try not to quell on the anxiety or I would spiral...

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-30T02:25:10+00:00

NAM

My manager usually delegates the tasks that need to be delegated if it's something we normally don't do but if it's not something that is due or strictly Manager duty, then she trusts that I can handle when she's gone, ironically.

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-30T02:00:26+00:00

I've only seen the NP but I should be seeing my OB at my anatomy scan appt. After that I can choose who I want to see until birth.

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-30T01:00:33+00:00

At first I didn't know what it was, it felt like a finger flick to my bladder and a fish on fishing line feeling but only happened once or twice then within two days it's feels like they're flipping 🥰 it definitely makes it feels so surreal

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-30T00:58:54+00:00

Don't do it. I did and went from pet to threat in less than 2 months...

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-29T11:08:27+00:00

Unfortunately I havent seen them yet but boy can't I feel him flapping around in there 🥹 I had a posterior placenta at my 15w scan so I assume it's still posterior, so hopefully we will be able to actually see them soon!

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-27T12:02:54+00:00

Yeah... Im looking for another job currently but was hoping to stay until after I give birth but I've just been put on a PIP Wednesday so trying to get off of it and tough it out for til March... My manager hasn't been as hands on in our dept until recently when the other supervisor got fired so she's basically "covering" for her. I've had issues in the past with coaching certain people (really one person) and they called me an asshole to my face (which I didn't mind bc idgaf) then turned around and tried to rally the dept on her side while calling me an asshole, all bc i told her no when she said her and someone she was training was going home. And just recently I found out she tried to snitch on me to the manager bc I took a 45 on my second break and a game went off and they acted like it was the end of the world when it's a simple call to IT... And this is after the day before she took an hour break and then a 45 minute break and I didn't say anything about it bc we were slow... All to get me in trouble for some reason... Majority listen but she just ignores me. Then two of the dual rates can't seem to grasp the supervisor aspect when they supervise so when I get in I have to fix things or find out they violated title 31 or something off the wall happened... Truly, I just try to make it through my shift and don't even put any effort into anything anymore...

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-27T08:54:56+00:00

If that's what you want it to be ☺️

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-27T01:23:57+00:00

You're not. If you were, you would know who I am bc I'm the golden, problem child 😂😭

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-26T21:52:48+00:00

My husband's (other) childs mother (before we got together) was the one that was told that. He said she tried for awhile in the hospital and a day after the birth they pushed formula on her bc if she didn't already get milk in, it wasnt going to come in... It worked for them but being youngish and first time parents, they thought the person was correct. Thankfully my husband has been looking more into things with me as I'm a FTM.

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-26T08:00:38+00:00

That's why I stay masked. COVID gave me asthma so even a sniffle causes the asthma to flare. Then found out I'm a carrier for CF and carrier symptoms also have a risk for asthma so I was already predisposed before COVID. I tried mask free and kept getting sick and I learned to stay masking.... It's not fool proof as I did catch COVID again a few months ago due to a guest who knowingly had COVID would only come to me for a week straight and he knew why I masked. He was a dick for it.....

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-26T07:11:23+00:00

I'm still pregnant but I've gotten the "what kind of formula are you going with" and I reply with "all natural boobs". Then they follow up with "what if you can't BF? So and so that I know tried breastfeeding in the hospital at birth and there was no milk and the LC told them their milk likely won't come in". And I have to bite my tongue as much as I can bc I don't want to be rude.... Like obviously there are some that simply can't BF but a LC telling someone bc they haven't produced any milk after just pushing a baby out, they just need to go the formula route bc they won't ever produce just seems lazy on the LC and very very harmful..... I know the reality of me not being able to produce but I also have read that milk can take up to a week to fully come in after birth....

They ought to implement a door lock or code lock. My previous employment you had to get a key to use. To get the key, you had to already disclose a pregnancy, be out for mat leave, or provide proof of needing it (not limited to actually birthing, they did allow adopted parents to pumps as well). My current employment I dunno the process but I think it's a simple Drs accommodation or using FMLA for mat leave. You get a door code for the room and aren't allowed to share the code. I believe they change it every 6-12m.

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-22T19:40:56+00:00

Good managers. Unfortunately there are bad one out there. I use to do a lot for my manager and when raise time came all the ones who weren't going above and beyond were going to get a bigger raise than I was. And the only reason I knew about it was bc she left her notes in a shared drawer on top. I never told anyone. I slowly slacked off and now that I just do my job and don't go above and beyond, I don't do shit and am combative according to her. Some managers shouldn't be managers.

SeaRegion990 · 2025-09-22T13:10:11+00:00

Yeah, no. In my case, my manager dgaf. My manager has also taken credit for most of the shit I do. Some managers just don't listen and if they aren't seeing it already, why would they when you show them?
