a look that doesn't look well on me. But my anxiety gets the best of me and the whole fight, flight or freeze comes into play.
 
Button pushing is a trait of bad managers. If a manager knows your insecurities (in your case tech) and uses that to intimidate rather than work to get you training or whatever they are a bad manager/supervisor.

When I came to California, did not want to work for my father in law.

The sisters were to run the company.

Then I calculated the turnover.

It was 450 percent.

Oh crap.

When we sold it was 50 percent which for a restaurant group was way below average.

Management turnover was essentially zero.

We have done work with Cheesecake Factory through my day job. Their employees seem to stick around FOREVER. It seems like they hire for culture because people are universally incredibly pleasant to work with.

@Melissa the manager sounds like they need some therapy. They should be offering help.
 
thanks. I wish I could retire early.
I believe I have said that before. Aplologies for being so repetitive.

I have bitched about my job here for like 15 years. You're all good.
 
Are we not supposed to be repetitive because I don't really feel like anything new has happened to me since the twinz.

I wake up, I deal with bodily fluids not my own, I try to be patient, and I try not to hate myself when I fail.
 
I'm jealous of everybody sitting in 🛑 n go traffic with their head down towards their lap.

They're either scrolling Instagram, for counting their beanies. What else can they be messaging so much about?

Man, I want to do that too

I know that I get totally defensive when in the meeting w/my supervisor.

That would look very bad on your manager, at least for someone looking from outside. Psychological safety should be a basic thing that a manager should build in the team IMO. For the teams I managed, I tried to be the first or second person for the team to come to when shit hits the fan. Its hard to build that culture but once it works, its fantastic for everyone involved!

 
FML. I think a client thinks I have a crush on them because I was friendly and polite. Good thing my picture frames are arriving shortly. I'm gonna cram them full of @N4teTheGreat and be like, "OH this guy is REALLY jealous and mean and tall." :laughing
 
as they say, shit runs down hill. His manager is stressed so my supervisor is stressed. Now I am stressed.
But it will all be forgotten in a few years. I wish I did not give the situation so much power.

Unless the drain is stuck in the Middle

In that case it overflows up ...

Shit. I get home and somebody has capsized a bike, and someone is doing two loads of laundry and the main vent hole drain in the basement has overflowed, it has three feet of a spot of blotches and white paper on the cement..fuuuuuu......

:rolleyes
 
"Hey, they are going to cut power to the building the day you are focusing and programming lights, that won't be a problem for you will it?"

Koitney's face ~ :wtf


Second chosen programming day they city has cut power.

You mean nobody knew this schedule before?
 
it's really the health insurance. Not married and I need to be 65 before I am eligible for medi-care.
Maybe someone on the board will marry me so I can get on her/his insurance?

Well that precisely what a good manager should avoid, "shit" should stop at them. At least thats what I have always believed in.
 
I worked at jobs I didn't like for years so my kids wouldn't lose their health coverage. But since I have little to no filter, everyone involved was always fully aware of my thoughts on the situation. :laughing

My wife is the breadwinner while I enjoy the sahd life because her insurance is amazing.

I might be able to match pay but I'll never get that through... tips.
 
most managers in the US, like 95% of them, have had no management training, especially in any government job. Your average E-5 in the military has had more management training than most CEOs or department directors. Most managers get there because they're the next person in line and they'll tend to manage like the person they're replacing.
 
The only reason I finished my business degree was because I was working for unqualified schmucks with degrees.
 
When you get home and you were just happy about the early day and just wanted a beer.

Like Nate's drain problems, but bigger. On top of all maybe it's not even me...

... Someone else was running two loads of laundry and then there was a damn spot and this is from the third load of laundry. :facepalm
