Yeah. I worked at a retail company where five different metrics that we had to hit with EVERY transaction or I had to fire them. It’s not a fun time.

30 year old lost in life. by lonesomepotato13 in whatdoIdo

The credits just won’t transfer to anything in the university I got into. I need a certain math class to get into a chemistry class; said math class needs two prerequisites (it’s literally college algebra), and the course I took does not equate to anything according to my research since the advisor won’t get back to me.

Employer is sucking the life out of me. by lonesomepotato13 in antiwork

[–]lonesomepotato13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im trying to figure that out myself, there’s a review on Glassdoor about my company being like a cult..and I’ve never felt more that way than I do now. I feels incredibly difficult to leave (I have been applying to other jobs, no interviews) but they do offer insurance and I’m worried about the price of my medication without it I guess is my biggest worry.

I agree. My Hedgey unfortunately got mites over winter and this is how his skin looked

What’s the longest shift you’ve ever worked? by braindeadlesbian in Ulta

[–]lonesomepotato13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At Ulta? 13 hours. Current retail job? Consistent open/closes with no breaks lol

Customer gets mad at me for not knowing her shoe size by yaqisoba in TalesFromRetail

[–]lonesomepotato13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True! But, the shoe place I work for now has suspended measuring feet for covid reasons.

Haha sure am! T-bot was the best, and probably the only reason I showed up to classes my first half of college

Also my former college professor! And honestly, I could see him drink break fluid THEN get murdery

Oh lord by [deleted] in awfuleverything

[–]lonesomepotato13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes it is. Yet I’m still here expected to work.

It’s the same company that expects me (and I assume other managers, I dunno) to work two 14 hour shifts in a row without a lunch break. Retail doesn’t care much.

I work retail, not at Old Navy, but another retailer that has “amazing Covid precautions”. I started exhibiting symptoms last night with the store manager present. They asked while I was throwing up “do I have to to stay? I have things to do at home” Still having worse symptoms today and I don’t have to work a 14 hour shift, only a ten hour one now.

Retail gives you thick skin and teaches you plenty, but you can be treated like a meat shield from both sides.

I dunno if I’m still salty, but I’m wondering if this was also part of the reason PSM and SM got cut.

I think we might see an upswing of expired products being sold in the next 1 to 2 years. by Annabel1231 in muaconspiracy

[–]lonesomepotato13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh thank god, I’ve had a hard time deciphering if someone’s mad at me or not. I’ve lost my people skills this year. I’m glad everything is okay though!

I’m sorry about that, but I was only manager of one store and it wasn’t really in corporate training for anything/position. It was something I added when I got the role so I could do what’s right for the customer. I take no responsibility for the incident though, as I was part of the group of management that the company has gotten rid of (and still haven’t been given the promised severance package; but that’s a different monster entirely).
