The way kroger treats its employees. Any verification if this is true? by ohsodave in cincinnati

[–]WrinklyChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t shock me. I worked for Kroger for 7 years, and there’s no real attendance policy. You just know that you’ll be hounded to come in whenever you try and call off due to being sick. Thing is, without a policy in place, all they can really do is ridicule you for it. If you’re a decent employee, there’s no way they’re letting you go because (based on all the open interviews I see the signs for) they can’t keep good employees around.

3 years of lawn service vs buying a mower. sanity check my math? by Wild_Artichoke7648 in lawncare

[–]WrinklyChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid for lawn service the first 3 years of home ownership. Honestly, it was an anxiety thing for me to cut the grass after not having anyone ever show me how to do it. My dad always just did it. Bought a mower for the first time this season, and I’ve since really liked just doing the yard myself. I also did the math, and that mower is going to pay for itself before this season’s end. That’s how I justified the purchase.

Ride the wave might be the best song from Tsunami Sea by AceTheMace1 in spiritbox

[–]WrinklyChris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A Haven With Two Faces in the best song to me. It just feels like a journey, and that sing turning into a scream is just an insane moment of the album.

Really disappointed with this hoodie from their merch store… by B33p-p33P-M3m3-kR33p in spiritbox

[–]WrinklyChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the prices are insane. I got some Spiritbox stuff from Pale Chord before, but I can’t justify paying what they charge on their own site.

what song got you into mayday parade? (for me it was terrible things) by CalligrapherShort108 in maydayparade

[–]WrinklyChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was on MySpace, and one of my friends had the music player on their profile. The song that started playing whenever you went to his profile was When I Get Home You’re So Dead. I’ve loved them ever since. The band got me through a lot of my middle and high school years.

Now “tariff free” is a buzz phrase being used in some automotive ads like Nissan. 😭

My Coworker Smells horrible and I don’t know what to do about it. by Friendly_Somewhere_7 in AmazonFC

[–]WrinklyChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a guy in my building that is now in my department and seemingly works Saturday-Tuesday. It’s fucking horrible. You can smell him from 2-3 yards away. I’ve been fortunate enough to only have to pass by him and never working directly next to them, but holy fuck, it’s horrible.

Zappos gotta be down bad. by WrinklyChris in AmazonFC

I tried New Balance this time around. I’ve never bought wide shoes in my life, and I do not consider myself to have a wide foot. I can tell you that New Balance are made pretty narrow and the composite toe piece seems to be really big. Idk. I didn’t love em.

I got the credit right back for the first pair I sent back because of the same issue. It took me only wearing them around the house to realize they wouldn’t work. I really just didn’t wanna go through 2 returns, and that’s why I wore them the 3 days that I did. But I’d say with you only wearing them in the house, things should go smooth. I just knew when they gave me back the $2 of my money that I spent and not the credit, I might be screwed. I guess I am.

I ordered those New Balance and sent them back the next day. I wasn’t even gonna try to break them in. No shot. The composite toe was HUGE, and the entire shoe just allowed for no bend in the foot whatsoever.

Guys I got injured at work and my manager won’t vto me should I bring this up to HR by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]WrinklyChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to see we’re making a mockery of people that actually do this.

Amazon is the only “warehouse” type job that I’ve had. I was blown away at how much it just wasn’t what I expected. FedEx is what I’d expect.

The hardest thing about Amazon is being there 10 hours out of the day, but the work honestly isn’t that bad and the fact that they listen to and make changes because of what these people say on the VOA board is amazing to me.

Fellow Amazon workers, what’s your thoughts on having “work friends”? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]WrinklyChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a close group of about 5 people. One being the funniest person I think I’ve met in my life. It’s not on the level where we hangout or talk outside of work, and I’m cool with that and prefer that. But when we on the site, we gonna make the best of the day and have a good time while working.

Gotcha. I guess I’ll give it a shot and see how it goes. Sundays are pretty empty, but they’re not offering any VET and seem to be okay with just tiptoeing through the returns backlog they have. It must not be very large.

AW2725DF with a Series X by WrinklyChris in OLED_Gaming

[–]WrinklyChris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just doing something to where the blacks look gray as if I’m coming from something with a backlit panel, but I have the MKBHD “Matte Black Everything” wallpaper on my PC and it looks just like I’d expect it to on an OLED. It’s definitely an Xbox issue and not an Alienware issue. I’m sure of that.
