why is the title so drab

can we get some spontaneous spirit to give it a makeover?

Yeah turns out he is incredibly unreliable and hates working any extra shifts we need him for. He's not terrible when you can actually get him in the shop but it's a nightmare if anybody needs time off.

people that don't reciprocate favors kind of burn their bridges in the process so it's on him, really
 
I liked that the last thread got random names based on stupid shit that we said.

that's just inviting the title to become in jokes that no one ever understands or even wants to understand
 
Call me boring but I actually kind of like the title how it is. It's short and to the point and I've actually been fooled by other titles before into thinking they were other, more serious threads but let's not talk about that okay.

Ah, reminds me of when i worked my other job a few years back and I worked with a dude who basically did nothing while me and my co-worker did the bulk of the work. ^___^ He would just sit there and be condescending and bark orders and nothing else, even though he wasn't in any position to give orders in the first place...

It always drove me insane when coworkers were like that. Although the ones that did it to me were less likely to give orders and more likely to just...slack off in general.

However, they didn't tend to last long if they kept it up. :')
 
The problem I've had with co-workers is some of them just don't work as part of a team at all, and others get given a little bit of power and become utter assholes everyone despises after five minutes. This one guy I was in a team with wouldn't build this control board in stages. He wanted to build the whole thing and test it in stages, but that wasn't the task. We had to build it in parts and test the parts before adding the next one. But he wouldn't do it and slowed the whole team down for ages. Was a nightmare .__. OH and he'd shout at us when we'd ask him (politely... at first) to stop and remove the extra work he was doing.
 
I've had coworkers that cheat on their breaks, and their days off. This one time, a co-worker showed up for the morning shift when she was scheduled to take the night shift, and I was gonna get the day off. During the shift, she suggested "Oh, you should get Megan to cover me, you know she always says yes to everything." My store manager agreed, and I took in a full shift instead of a regular 4-5 hour shift like she was scheduled. It's not that I'm complaining about the extra hours I got, I was really iffy that she actually suggested me to cover for her. She claimed that she had to take care of her grandmother but I saw her post on FB that she was going out with a group of guys. Welp.

During the course of the time I was there, I learned to not trust your coworkers.
 
My cooworkers are either nice or only speak Arabic. Not saying that those guys aren't nice. I just have a hard time communicating with them, haha.
 
Most of the people I work with are relatively simple to get along with, but others aren't quite as much. But we don't have too many issues, so yeah.
 
I had my year review this past month and my manager told me I'm the only one in building who doesn't have drama with anyone else teheheheh <333

Ahahah what do you work as? As an Arab I can tell you lots of stories about Arabs having trouble with english XD

I remember that one time in eighth grade an Arabic teacher wanted us to pick up trash, so he told us all to "rise the papers".

They have the same problem with English as I have with Latin. I don't think they want to learn it. I work in a greenhouse, and intellectuals aren't well represented here, haha.
 
I love my coworkers, they're all pretty much awesome. We do have a problem with people calling out a lot, but it's the same few people each time.

Our biggest problem is entitlement. People who aren't supervisors, acting as if they are. I accidentally made someone quit the other day, because she was trying to tell me what to do, and I told her "okay, but don't talk to me as if you're in charge again, thanks :)". So she got offended and quit lol.

I'm a Shift Leader where I work and I'm super lax ahaha. Probably too lax. But at the same time the people who work my shifts don't really need me to be barking orders and telling them to do things? I'll tell them to do something if I needed it to be done asap but otherwise I just let them find their own thing to do and they're usually good at that. 'Course they all have the tendency to not answer the drive-thru so at least once a day I have to tell them to please answer it because 'cuse you guys I'm not going to stand around answering drive-thru all day that's technically your job.

There was one guy that was a good worker when he worked, but he slacked off a lot. Eventually word got around that he slacked off during mid-shift so he's on morning shift most of the week now. My shifts have been going much smoother since then. :')

Also the most dreaded shifts turn out to be midshifts. I never really understood why; I don't have to open and I don't have to close. I'm just there and I'm out, what's so bad about that? Maybe it's just because the day seems longer to people who work midshifts?

Well in a theme park, people are more likely to visit during the day rather than in the morning (unless it's child-oriented, then night has less people) so I guess it's more work/trouble to deal with. The shift may also collide with some people's agendas, idk. I'd prefer midday shifts however since you don't have to wake up early or stay up too late.

Well it was more along the lines of, I went to a supervisor immediately after, said supervisor told her to stop talking to people like she's in charge, person said "ugh, forget it, I'm off tomorrow so I'll just find another job".

Supervisor told me the story, laughing.

Bit of advice kids, never tell the person in charge you're "just gonna find a new job" in retaliation to something you didn't want to he told. Never ever.

I thought having morning shifts was more of a reward than a punishment? In the theme park industry, if you work morning shifts, consider yourself one of the lucky ones, because those are the best shifts around! Sure, it sucks some serious ass getting up so early in the morning just to clock in at 6:45 or 7 AM, but the fact that you also leave early (with a decent chance of early release if there's a lot of midshifts/closers), makes it all worth it. :>

I freaking love opening at my job. It's just three of us for about three or four hours, depending on when our first customer comes in. So many jokes!

I got some really good news yesterday at work. They want me to become a shit lead!!! I'm going to learn how to do produce orders, how to put them away, how to inventorialize them, how to set up cashier drawers, and the works. And they're going to want me to start opening the store! But not for the entire opening shift.

In the meantime, they're going to move me over to primary opening sauté, which is what I wanted for the longest time.
 
I'm also an opener! The morning shift is always the busiest, which is perfect for me, because I hate standing around doing nothing. the day goes by so much quicker :D

Though, I have to cover a cashier tomorrow for a closing shift, since I'm a floater :( I'd so much rather get to work at 5:30am and leave at 2, than come in at 11am and leave at 9:30 ;( Not to mention, it's a 10 hour shift.
