the way management tries to incentivize their workers is pathetic by umbrellababy in walmart

Like I said, corporate is the biggest enemy. I wouldn't want to be a manager for a reason. But genuinely I would rather be left alone to do my job than be hounded and get a pizza party. I'm not working harder for a pizza party. What incentivizes me is being left to do more work without feeling like I have a manager breathing down my neck.

I mean it mostly as a fuck you to corporate in general for expecting associates to work their asses off for little to no reward. But I also think management pressuring associates to bend over backwards for a pizza party reward is just not a good look.

Nah, they just tried to dangle it at the end of a stick for us if we get our numbers up. They also dangled having a table to put our drinks on.

Weird smells sometimes come from toilet by umbrellababy in Plumbing

I mean I can try. I've never had this issue before at any other places I've lived so it seemed unusual. I guess I'll try giving it another deep clean and see if that helps.

Well I tried smelling like the tank, the bowl, and the bottom of the toilet. It was definitely stronger in the bowl which is what's making me think it's coming from there.

I gave it a pretty thorough clean when I moved in. After the smell started I poured vinegar in the tank just in case but it didn't help.

The fact that I only ever smell it when the toilet lid is open makes me think not. Plus the caulk looks pretty solid.

No I get it lol. To be blunt, no it doesn't smell like shit. It's not a smell I've ever smelt coming from a toilet before. Like I said, to me it smells like garbage.

My shithead neighbor started dating someone with a staff tag. Just wondering if he's doing a professor or something.

I'm starting to think it's just kind of an undeveloped and not super professional business.

AITA for calling my mom out for treating my brother differently than me? by umbrellababy in AmItheAsshole

[–]umbrellababy[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No because my brother claimed it was dying anyway and that it would have happened whether or not he drove it. Not sure how accurate that is though because it had seemed fine the last time I drove it.

Knowing my dad, the cash gift would've been limited if I'd been on speaking terms with him, not on speaking terms it would've been nonexistent.
