#work problems

[positivelypositive]

🍄

a small reminder that...

...not every problem can be solved instantly.

...not every problem is real.

...not every problem is a roadblock.

some problems can be temporary. others can be based on our assumptions, while some can be a blessing in disguise.

take a deep breath. you've got this ✨

This 2nd grader is my arch-nemesis, and I’m just an after thought to her.

I thought Oh Pyung-hwa's arc, all of the friends' work arcs actually, were really interesting because they were so different.

Pyung-hwa likes flying, she doesn't really care that much about her job/being promoted, and she's not good at the part they want her to do. She is not a natural saleswoman and honestly, it's stupid that she has to be considering her main purpose is actually safety. She's pushed into going for a promotion because it's The Thing To Do, but when she finally realizes it's impossible, she's free! She finally talks back to her boss and the creepy captain ex-boyfriend because she doesn't have to suck up anymore. She's able to do the parts of the job she likes.

Kang Da-eul is driven. While she recognizes the unfairness of the sucking-up system, she abolishes it for those behind her but keeps doing it herself. We see this in the Thailand trip when she sucks up to Mr. No (thinking he's the head manager). She is also really good at sales and she clearly wants to go further in her job if she can, her ending is having that way open to her because she has the connections and gets her boss fired for misconduct. Her problem is that her family obligations are overwhelming and she gets zero support from her husband. That problem is somewhat unsatisfactorily solved by the end, though it would have been better if the husband actually realized the injustice of what he was doing...

(Da-eul also is a contrast to Ms. Gu who entirely neglects her family to focus only on her job. Da-eul does both, which causes a lot of strain but her relationship with her child is like 10,000% better).

And then Cheon Sa-rang is less focused on promotion and just focused on doing her job well. She is driven by feeling that she's done a good job and made guests happy, not as much by external reward. She doesn't really suck up, she's nice to everyone pretty equally. She advances quickly because she is competent and because she gets somewhat lucky (in a job where sneezing can have you banished, she was lucky to advance!). What she realizes is that she's being promoted away from the parts of the job she actually enjoys, which is a pretty common problem, especially for people who like their job but hate management. Her solution to work at a very small hotel where she can do everything is lovely.

All of these problems and different ways of approaching work felt really real, so yes, King the Land did have plot, and it was well written.

It’s a good day at the planetarium when it starts with putting in a support request ticket about something that is PROBABLY an artifact from light leaking in during our attempt to make the projectors do better but MIGHT be a portal to an alternate dimension or something. Given its height near the top of the dome and the part where we fire off a very powerful (dimension-breaking?) Tesla coil several times a day, we can’t check…

And by “a good day”, at least we all got a good laugh out of the response to our “blotchy demonic interdimensional rift” problem. Their wording, not ours.

…this probably isn’t helping with our reputation as “that tiny cursed dome”.

At least nothing is coming out of the blotchy demonic interdimensional rift. Yet.

The issue doesn’t photograph so have an artist rendition

I used up all my motivation this week

I used it to keep up in an impossible situation

And now that my time is finally my own

All I want to do is sleep

A man walked up to me today with his peen hanging out.

I'm a mail carrier on a highway contracted route in Alaska. I do work for the USPS, but I'm not employed with them. These are routes that are too spread out and too rural even for the USPS employed rural carriers, so they contract these routes out to independent carriers like us.

So, that's what I was doing today when I got an eye full of a 50 yr old penis. This is how it happened.

I pull up to a stop, and since this particular stop was what I consider to be the halfway point of my route, I decided to check my email. I was waiting for something important and I didn't want to miss it. I wasn't even there a minute when I looked up to see a big white truck pull up in front of my little Forester.

I decided, ok, I'll wait a little more and proceed to mess around on my phone while this dude gets out of his truck and goes to check his mail.

He gets back into his truck, and I wait another minute, but he doesn't leave. OK, I think to myself, maybe he decided to read his mail before he drives off. So, I get out, grab the next bundle of mail, and pull the arrow key out of my pocket to open the first CBU (Cluster Box Unit), and I start delivering the mail all the while I'm acutely aware of everything around me. I'm delivering mail on the side of a highway with only my car to shield me from the traffic going by 20 mph over the posted speed limit. By now I can tell by the sounds of the tires on each car if they are just driving past me or if they are going to stop behind my car and ask me some inane question like "Do you have anything for me?" You're a complete stranger to me. Am I supposed to know who you are? But on this particular day, the traffic on that road was nearly non-existent

Since he hasn't left yet, I decided to deliver the mail to each CBU before I even start on the packages. I don't care that he's sitting there as long as he stays in his truck. I get halfway done with the third unit when I hear his truck door open again. I can hear the snow crunch under his feet as he approaches me. So, I close up the CBU all the while mentally preparing myself for yet another stupid question. He doesn't disappoint, either. Upon seeing that I closed up the CBU, he asks, "I guess I have to go get my key then?" I turn to answer him and tell him that yes, he needs his key to get his mail when I see something that I never once saw in all my seven years of working retail.

Don't get me wrong, though, I've seen a lot of shit working retail. Some of it even included actual shit. But seeing a grown ass man piss himself in the produce section while snacking on grapes still could not mentally prepare me for what I saw today.

This man stood there and asked me if I finished delivering the mail for box #5 all the while free ballin with his little Vienna sausage poking out of his fully unzipped and unbuttoned pants. It was roughly 20 degrees outside today. How could he not feel his Vienna sausage shrivel up like a piece of Jerky?

I quickly told him no and finished locking up the CBU. Then, as he was walking back to his truck to get his key, I walked back to my own vehicle and fully noped the fuck outta there. It didn't matter that I hadn't finished delivering the letters, nor did it matter that I never even started delivering the parcels. I just had to get away from there. I circled back, of course, after completing all the other stops on that street. But I found he was still sitting there in his truck. So I passed the stop up again.

Later, after all my other stops had been completed, I would circle back one more time to find he finally vacated that stop. The folks got their mail and packages, just a little bit later than usual, thanks to their free ballin neighbor.

black and white...

...is impractical.

inside of us, we're all grey. you can't always be completely right or entirely wrong.

sometimes it's a grey zone. it can be a murky grey or a cool one. depends.

it doesn't say anything about you except that you're human. relax ✨

Don't you love it when you not only oversleep, but your body has contorted in some way on your bed that you wake up to the pain of your lungs and nerves being stabbed by your shoulder blade😭

Irrationally pissed off post timeee: I don't think a lot of people realize how shitty the work climate is in the U.S. it's quite irritating. I'm thinking about this because I'm trying to get a job, in highschool, so while I don't need to pay rent, I'm still gonna have to pay car insurance and stuff. Assuming that in the area I live in, most people working entry level jobs. make around 10 dollars an hour, based on the area I live in, it'd be 15-20 hours of work at least, a month, just to pay car insurance. At 10 dollars an hour, it would take around 30 hours of work to pay for a standard apartment. If you're a college student, you are going to struggle. Work life balance won't be a thing in my future, and I simply have to prepare in high school so that I'm not overwhelmed too much. Doesn't help that in my case, it's fucking hard to get employed. I'm autistic, and while I have, for lack of better terms, low support needs, I don't have some of the skills that they want, or my skills are heavily lacking, this is mostly in the social skills department. When will people realize that America isn't a glowing beacon of hope. It's just shit, coated in fools gold foil.

TW: Self-harm, cyber bullying

On the surface, my boss seems like a really nice and benevolent person. But lately, there have been instances that make me think I'm actually working for a narcissist.

Last year, my coworker got hurt on the job and needed stitches. After that incident happened, I heard some really icky things spoken by my boss anytime my coworker asks for even something minor, "[Coworker] cost me more money than any other employee!" When it was rumored that co-worker might quit; "If [they] do that [they'll] have to return every cent I paid [them]!"

But whenever my boss is in hot water with their superiors, they will ghost everyone for a couple of days and then show up with some story as to why no one could get ahold of them. "I had a heart attack yesterday, but I'm here. I am working!" I believed them at first until they let slip that they say that every time their customers are getting furious with their lack luster customer service; "I just tell them that and they instantly change their tone with me every time because they don't want to appear unsympathetic."

But this last part gets really bad. I had another coworker who was being cyber bullied in the neighborhood Facebook groups. I was never aware of it because I'm not active on Facebook, and I especially avoid those toxic neighborhood groups. People were making posts in these groups specifically to shit talk this coworker. I later found out my boss and other coworkers were aware of it and chose to ignore it. The bullies even went so far as to send them DMs and make fake accounts to harass them. This coworker eventually attempted suicide and I never saw them again. But I recently heard my boss say, "I don't care! [Coworker #2] put ME at a disadvantage trying to off [themselves]! [They] were out of work 2 months, and it really cost me!"

What the fuck? Is that all you can think about is how it disadvantaged you?! You KNEW this shit was going on, since you're in those groups yourself and you chose to let them suffer in silence because it had no personal impact on you until they couldn't take it anymore and chose the nuclear option? But anytime someone calls you out on your bullshit you pull out your ass some lame excuse to explain it all away and earn yourself more brownie points.

Ughhh got to deal with the worst customer ever named PG HJ SAIFUL ** bin Pehin PG HJ **

The reason? that title PG = Pengiran meaning *Prince* & Pehin meaning *Lord* Well he's not a real prince but kinda descendent of the older Sultans. Having his dad receive the lord title just makes him "high royalty"

& omg the entitlement that they thought they got even threatening me with the CEO name as in I know your ceo so don't you dare go against me! Then going to say the Sultan will not allow me to work at the company cause I refuse his DEMAND!!

Like sir if this is 100 years ago your threat might get me to prostrate in fear but even you can't go against capitalism nowadays so go complain to your CEO FRIEND!! & The fuck do you mean you know the Sultan?? This company is also under the gaddamn government which is under the gaddamn Sultan!!

#go cry at your daddy sultan then!! screaming at “normal” workers wont work!! #Also most of us in the customer service are not worried about customer threat cause luckily the Labour union in the country are very strong #not even yhe sultans brother can escape from it #work problems #rage ramblings #random ramblings #may delete later #myself
