That all sounds typical. Thanks for the link, amyparker.
This is a very specific to my exact job complaint, but, as of yesterday I had 7 Zulily events that I need to reserve inventory for before they start. I even told someone yesterday morning not to schedule time with me yesterday because I expected to be working on that all day. Well, of course I had a bunch of other stuff I had to deal with yesterday and I only got one done. Fortunately, they don't actually start until tomorrow, so I figured that was fine I'd do it today. Because I cannot learn from experience even while I'm in the middle of experiencing. So today I have only managed to get 2 more done so far because of all the other urgent stuff that has come up.
In short: whine.

The notion that factory workers are plug-and-play components is disheartening and entirely too common. Connie worked in a textile factory during the summers in college and it was rough.
Yep. That's one of the benefits of strikes, teaching management that no, they can't just step in and do that job/have anyone step in and do that job. But they never seem to learn it for long, if they actually do.
Honestly, that is one of my complaints about my comparatively cushy office job with the current reorg, not even so much about what my job is becoming but that it is VERY CLEAR that the mindset behind the reorg is that anyone could do any job so we can just shuffle people around and redistribute responsibilities however someone who has not done any of these jobs decides. And if someone leaves we will just magically become more efficient and pick up the nonexistent slack. It crushes one's spirit.
Mmm, sweet sweet hairpats. That's the stuff.
Whew, I am the youngest person by FAR in this podiatrist office waiting room.
That seems right.
Posting helps, I was able to get the rest done, Christmas is saved! Or at least a few particular pre-Christmas flash sales.
Timelies all!
Well, it’s the weekend. Which means more sleep deprivation, as Mr. S has been waking up way too early on the weekend.(there is no reason for him to be up at 6:30 on a Saturday, but he often is)
I dislike this growing older thing as I feel more and more rickety in this flesh suit daily. Yet the alternative is unpalatable as well.
I would not want to take over a factory job but I also wouldn’t want to get fired for refusing to? Yikes, what’s a middle management person who doesn’t make the decisions do?
I am so terrible with posting on my phone and quick typing!
I am rickety too. The mask somehow makes it so I have no depth perception at all, and I already had poor depth perception. It came up on my 23 and me that I was more likely to have a fear of heights, because my idea of my body in space is most informed with my vision. Which explains why many people in my family are screams if heights and why I need to be looking at my feet to go down stairs. Unfortunately we also are genetically inclined to glaucoma, cataracts and blindness.
meara, Courtney Milan suggests that pushing folks into these jobs constitutes constructive discharge; someone else raised the excellent point of brand dilution: "who would purchase presumably lesser quality equipment made by unskilled workers for the same price?" And who's covering the work the salaried employees aren't doing?
