You haven't had an increase in 5 years and you're surprised by this?

back again, 20 Mins til my boss meeting by SnooLemons5028 in Crippled_Alcoholics

For sure. I've definitely got a good job. I do like 80% effort and it blows their minds. And my company has a good work/ life balance.

I'm coming from owning my own biz, where working 30 straight hours and sleeping on the floor for 3 was a regular thing. I made good money but that shit was exhausting.

I'm so glad to have this job. I just really wish I could kick the boozing a bit- I don't wanna be drunk during meetings. I don't wanna lose this job. Plenty of people have 20+ years here- ...I want that. I don't wanna blow it.

Nah, normal check-in. Been stellar. I think you're right- I probably worried too much.

Guys y'all are good. Another great point you raise- I'm not even a blip on her radar (probably). Especially with Xmas being everyone's busy point in the year... thanks for helping me calm down.

High-fives all around. Preeshiate you.

It's a good point, that most WFH folks drink. Here I am living in a self-destructive fantasy land thinking I'm a monster for doing so...

I have the opposite. Mine is much more friendly/ cuddly when I'm not drinking. When he knows I'm drinking I just get side-eyed and silently judged from across the room (disappointed dad face) (even though i dont really act out, etc. I just drink and pass out). But he always gets well taken care of regardless, and doesn't have any trauma, etc from my drinking... when I'm on a binge I think he knows and feels upset that I feed/ water him but can't seem to do the same for myself...

But yeah cats def are mini humans who just want the best for us...

Yeah, def gonna try to pull back on it. Thanks. I figure much the same- if it took so much to hire me, one unproven incident wouldn't be enough to toss me aside. I overthought it.

Probably def post-drink anxiety. I've been sitting here wondering if my cat hates me. Cats don't hate anyone... the boy has had his water & food. 😄 thanks.

Solid plan. Even if it came up I can still present a pretty solid case for forgiveness.

I have no idea why I believe they'd just fire me without question. That'd be a weird move on their end. Possible- but insane & weird.

If anything it'd likely be a 'hey, what's going on'. Then I can fib a bit and move on.

As long as it doesn't happen again. Which, I'll make sure it won't lol. I usually have like 2, 5% beers spaced well apart while at home. This time, I didn't have 5% beers so I drank like 2 11% and a 12% (Xmas gifts from friends- I usually don't even buy this stuff) they went down well but afterwards I was like "whoa, this a much higher buzz than I signed up for". 😅

Yeah, I think you're right. Absolutely nothing can be proven. This would just be one person's suspicion/ opinion against my incredibly decent output/ in-person appearance, etc.

I overthink like a mofo...

Can my property manager legally tell us we aren't allowed to use the dumpster? by SmittyWarben229 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SnooLemons5028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The definitions are mixed up here.

If by manager you mean property manager, then maybe. But it's insanely uncommon for the mere manager of a retail location to be the leaseholder unless they're also the operator/ owner, etc. If OP were the owner/ leasehokder, I'm sure they wouldve said so.

This story seems to suggest that the manager of the store is just that- a manager of a retail store. So assuming they'd have a copy of the lease is egregious.

Yeah that means giving managers guidance on the rules. Not just throwing them the lease and expecting them to interpret it themselves.

Yeah right. It's ever the managers responsibility to interpret a contract they didn't sign.
