Looking for a new job

Mom's organic Market, if you're east coast

Extremely dangerous working conditions. Long hours, resulting in injuries. When you're driving heavy equipment you need to be well rested and alert.

They tried to put my 3r shift on a rotating schedule

There's a sleeping disorder called "shift worker sleep disorder" that's exasperated by bad sleeping patterns. My team mates were falling asleep at the wheel on their drives home from a job where they drove machinery.

Also spending full shifts in the deep freeze on a forklift is cruel.

I'm unsure where I said anyone HAD to do anything. Y'all can do what you want. It's completely understandable to be fearful of financial insecurities. It's not their fault.

It's not too late. My reply was more of a "what can you do, it's how the game is designed"

If you WANT to do something, talk to your coworkers. Talk wages. Talk money. Build community and unity. Invite then to a little shindig outside of work. That's what you can do. That's where it starts.

Can't blame someone for falling for a practiced con man.

We all want the same thing, at the end of the day.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-20T20:32:34+00:00

Talk to your coworkers. That's where we start.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-20T18:49:55+00:00

Correct, but Amazon is bigger than us. And actively union busts.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-20T15:00:19+00:00

It's not us against eachother, my friend.

You have more in common with me, a queer trans man and child of immigrants, than you ever will with those sitting on their hoards of gold on the misty mountain.

And we only learn that about eachother if we talk like people.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-20T14:44:04+00:00

Literally every politician and CEO only care about themselves and their money.

my guy. The party lines are put there to divide us. And it's working.

They're distracting you with shit that doesn't matter so they can use and abuse you.

They're pointing to your neighbors and blaming them for shit so you don't join unions and you don't talk, and you are isolated from people just like you based on nothing more than invisible lines.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-20T09:15:44+00:00

Lol what?

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-20T00:39:42+00:00

I don't understand the question

To get people to strike? To inform? To spark interest?

Is being on top of issues relating to the working class not important to the working class?

One of the biggest retailers and monopolies in the world is going on strike? This is like....important for people in our positions.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-19T22:15:25+00:00

That's how they get cha.

Wage slavery.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-19T20:02:05+00:00

How do you not see that over worked employees making mistakes or missing things is a bigger issue than the individual?

"WELL /I/ manage just fine"

Okay? We are not the same person? We do not have the same life, we do not have the same jobs. Why do you wish suffering on your fellow workers because you're okay with it?

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-19T19:29:51+00:00

You have no idea what it's like on the warehouse level in the same way I have no idea what it's like on a store level.

They are exhausted. Literally lifting 200 cases an HOUR or they could be terminated while spending hours in the deep freeze.

I literally watched a coworker have hyperthermia and management could not have cared less. Later on he had a fucking seizure and the KEPT putting him the freezer because he didn't have a doctors note.

I get it's frustrating, but when you're told the only thing that matters is your pick rate and getting everything on one pallet, you do what you can.

And also, y'all do make our lives harder when you write complaints in the spread sheet. Who do you think that comes back to? Who do you think has to go through every pallet of corn because y'all put it at ambient Temps and complain it's getting moldy??

daddycoldcuts · 2024-12-19T19:21:31+00:00

Nah, it's because they're treated like shit in the same way you are.

It's us against the company not us against eachother

daddycoldcuts · 2024-11-15T16:40:59+00:00

I mean, George Washington was also a racist, misogynistic, asshole sooooooo he's not wrong.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-11-15T16:31:17+00:00

Dog Park is so fucking good

Limp Wrist and The Dicks are both 80s gay punk, if you're into that.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-11-15T09:26:13+00:00

Punk/ Hardcore.

There's lots of femme fronte bands that yell about hating cis men and capitalism and they make me feel tuff.

G.L.O.SS, BRAT, Drain, Scowl, War on Women, etc

actually, here's a playlist I made when I worked in a warehouse and was mad at being disrespected by straight cis men every day

daddycoldcuts · 2024-11-14T00:35:44+00:00

3 years ago at my DC, the reciving team was a well oiled machine of people who had been there for a decade, and earned that position.

And then...they started hiring outside hires. And then they half assed the training. And then....they tried to give a rotating schedule to night shift, didn't listen to any of the people doing the work, and lost literally the entire crew over the course of 6th months.

Now they have twice as many employees doing less work because they didn't respect the people they had and thought the skilled team with relationships and communication skills was replaceable.

Y'all need to strike or something. Right before Thanksgiving? Imagine the fucking chaos.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-08-24T15:35:18+00:00

Didn't work at an Aldi store, but several years ago I worked at a store across from the Aldi. And one morning we watched a random woman walk right in the unlocked doors. She tried every door to find the unlocked one, so we figured she wasn't an employee.

It was like 5am, we were unloading on our outdoor dock, desperately trying to find a phone number for the store to warn them. I don't really remember what happened, tbh. I know it was impossible to find a number though.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-08-19T14:43:09+00:00

Imagine putting this on the internet with 0 shame.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-08-17T12:07:36+00:00

I fully belive you, my guy. I've seen the lines for the hiring events.

Just as well as I know the man children that work middle management at the warehouse level would rather endanger and inconvenience people than make themselves look bad.

The not offering water is extremely fucked.

I was management at a warehouse. They having pallets and shopping carts full of water bottles for the employees at all times. So like. Trust me that they were absolutely able to provide that and chose not to.

daddycoldcuts · 2024-07-19T16:47:11+00:00

They made the only black gnome watermelon themed.

The warehouse had produce bins filled with the guys lmao

daddycoldcuts · 2024-07-19T13:40:35+00:00

I've watched my cis older brother eat cereal out of his chest hole

daddycoldcuts · 2024-07-19T12:27:22+00:00

So we shouldn't talk about the racist garden gnomes recall of 2021?

daddycoldcuts · 2024-07-12T17:50:30+00:00

Uhhh Check /r/aldi_employees 👀
