That is what you get sucking up to the boss saying I can do it.

Rule one never ever suck up to the boss.
Rule two the boss will exploit you as much as they can.
Rule three sucking up to the boss will not save you being laid off or sacked.

Rule four: When your daughter is to be married in September and you've a holiday in the Canaries booked for October, sometimes sucking up to the boss can be financially advantageous

Rule Five: Bosses have very very long memories

The Sword of Damocles hangs over you jim.

Rest of the week early nights for me and still get paid to 10pm.

You don't have to go that far for Guinness you know, checkout the supermarkets.

You couldn't make this up if you tried....

The new guy started working to cover my Mondays and Tuesdays off. He started on Tuesday and announced he had a pre-booked holiday for next week so the powers that be have asked me to cover for him

Aktungbby · 08-10-17, 08:49 AM

^I trust you're getting the overtime rate!

Jimbuna · 08-10-17, 09:02 AM

^Ha!! I should be so lucky

Its a stock question in a application form and at interviews.

No chance that only kicks in before or after your hours of work or outside your working hours.

One more night and I get a three day weekend and I need it with all the standing in I have been doing plus overtime.

Finally enjoying a day off. It's been a busy time of the year for Walmart which means not many days off and staying late on overtime.

Hard to complain though, pay is good.

Oh, no! Wal*Mart uses slave labor, and you can't afford to eat for half the month! Just ask "anybody".

p.s. I worked for WalMart for a Christmas season some time ago, and was unhappy when they didn't hire me on full time. Working there is actually a lot better than the Haters claim.

Ha! Yeah, they get a bad rep but I don't have any major complaints so far. My store's management is somewhat toxic so there's that. I'm a truck unloader/evening stocker and yeah, I don't get full time and yeah, the job is somewhat mind numbing and yeah, just part time and whatever extra shifts I can find. But I really can't complain too much. I'm making way more money doing the same job I did before at a small grocer. There's other positions in the store I'm hoping to move into. My original application was for an Oil Change tech but their unloading crew was basically a skeleton crew and they needed people and I needed a job.

They pay 3$ better than minimum wage here and they're very college/military friendly so that works out very well for me. Summers, christmas and breaks in between I can pick up some extra money pretty easily.

Not long back from the vets and the dog is looking and feeling quite sorry for himself having just had his goolies removed.

I hope he'll forgive the wife some day because it was her decision.
