In a nutshell: Brexit is the name of UK's plan to leave the European Union. In the story they say leaving Europe, which is grossly incorrect. The UK is still part of Europe because, you know, geography. They just left the European Union and are no longer restricted by EU's policies, decisions, etc, which also means they no longer have the advantages of being a member state, such as easy shipments to the USA, passport-less travelling to all other member states, etc.
And the uk is leaving Europe for the same reasons America decided to become independent, to avoid taxes and laws set by other people out of their control. Just look how that turned out... we definitely need to rejoin the eu asap before we end up like that as well
With America not being in the European Union why should it change with post? Well both Obama and Biden were against the UK leaving the EU. Biden even threatened that America would make it more difficult for the UK. So, politically based punishment type thing. 🙄 Politicians, you have got to love them! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Fyi you always needed a passport to travel to other countries in the European Union from the UK, what you didn't need was a visa to live and work etc if you had a passport from any eu member country.
Tbf, in British English, ‘Europe’ in this context is often used to mean the EU. It’s also often used in the same way as ‘the continent’ -which means any non U.K. European country (for example someone might say ‘on the continent they have better wine’)
Moral of this story 3: If you're gonna implement a no overtime policy, don't be surprised when 💩 really and utterly hit the fan and your employees just walks out the door because their shift is over!
They had that policy when I worked at Walmart ages ago. Got coached for ONE MINUTE of overtime. From then on, I dropped everything and left the moment I needed to get clocked out. Had at least once where I just lowered a pallet in the middle of pulling it back, because my shift was over. (Accounting for the time it took to walk to the time clock and clock out) It’s not my fault the other shifts did practically nothing leaving night shift stuck pulling out and back the increasing number of pallets of crap, taking huge amounts of time in the shift. Ended up walking out in the middle of a coaching later when they didn’t like that I didn’t clean up another shifts mess that they did intentionally and was asking around who did it. That bridge is thoroughly burnt and I couldn’t care less. Screw Walmart.
@@trindalas I work a kroger, and honestly it's kinda bad too, but I luckily don't hear of any bs like that. I swear though, the sheer amount of horror stories I have heard about Walmart alone will ever keep me from working there
Reminds me of that episode of The Office where they made an annual commission cap, so Jim hit his commission cap early in the year. And he asked them, “if I’m not getting paid to sell, then what incentive to I have to sell?” When they gave him the BS runaround, he dropped it and just started using his time at work fucking around
The HOA stories are that beautiful combination of Malicious Compliance and Petty Revenge! Like the guy who planted sunflowers, got told off by his HOA so he planted obnoxiously tall corn stalks instead! Sunflowers were indeed on the prohibited plants list, but corn wasn’t. He made a deal with his HOA. He removed the corn and they allowed him to replant the sunflowers.
Idk that HOA OP seems like one of the reasons that some people like HOA to begin with. Depending on state I would have started towing his cars as obstructions. He doesn't say he has 5 kids so he is basically collecting a junkyard in his lawn. If he is moving them and driving them regularly that is one thing, but if they are just basically lawn ornaments then he is basically being a dick to his neighbors.
So, about the second story... I myself am a store Manager. I got promoted at the begining of 2021. My old manager was moved to another store. As soon as I took over and began training everyone the write way and hiring my own staff, my store performance improved. The other store that she went to bombed. She was pregnant and with in the the first 2 weeks she was saying she could not perform the full job that she was paid to do. The staff there hated her and she told other stores and her staff that I was only doing well to spite her. When she went on leave early 2022, I was brought over to "help get the store back on track." The place was a mess. Nothing was to plan. The pour assistant manager was pretty much running the store but had been there for 4 months and did not know most of what her job entailed. Basically anything that this Store Manager could do wrong was done wrong. The worst this is the supervisor was dealing with some manger emotional distress and was told be the Store Manager the she had to suck it up and even went so far to cancel already approved time off she had given so she could do something with her husband. As a result, the supervisor had to postpone a very important doctor's appointment. In the end, this Store manager said that she was not going to come back after her leave. However, they were going to still give her old position back. Dispite everting she did, obviously I did not list it all here, she was going to get her job back. I personally think that companies do not want to get rid of a SM because they can sometime be one of the hardest to hire, so instead they will promote some who may not be ready or move managers around. Hell, it took a year of both Store and Assistant manager at another location in my company stealing money for six months and the ASM having multiple sexual harassment charges against him to finally get fired. DM's are heavily graded on how many of their stores lack a full Managment team. I recently was forced to promote some one I did not feel was ready for the hight position because my DM liked him, not because of his work efficiency. And while I love him, we were still working on is struggles in his previous position. TLDR: In my experience, I have seen companies want to go the easy route and just keep a manager in position because it is hard to hire store managers. You gotta do something really bad to get fired.
Story 3: I hate "No Overtime" because there's always going to be an issue at some point where someone *WILL* have to work overtime to take care of it. Just pay overtime.
I love my new job because of that. They offered me more hours for training and now I'm up to 60hrs this week alone. They don't mind it for the future either lol
Bubububut what about the rich corporate supervisors? What about their 4 figure bonuses? Won't someone think of the supervisors, where is this world going?
*First OP:* LOL at the walkie-talkie setting. I agree that OP missed an opportunity to make a joke about the meteor going over the speeding limit. *Second OP:* Feigning incompetence at work is one thing, but mispronouncing your boss' name? That's next-level pettiness, lol. Also, shout out to OP's mom for canceling her account after OP switched jobs. *Third OP:* Upper Management must not have gotten the memo: Don't mess with the IT Guy!
rSlash has an editor you know. He pays someone to edit his videos, he's mentioned this in a previous (recent) story when he was adding a little comment about remote work and how his editor works from home.
@@kierrific1357 however, the editor does what he is paid to do. So the decision to do that very well could have been rSlash's decision, not the editor's. It's also possible it was recorded that way. Regardless, I would think it has to be approved by rSlash before it gets published, but who knows.
There was a story about a guy who went shopping for an engagement ring when with a mutual friend and his girlfriend claimed she was with the mutual friend when she was actually planning on surprising him with a snake as a pet since he is a snake person. I feel like that last HOA loophole would have been heaven for him
First Story: I mean he did say any call lol. This guy has no reason to complain when all the dispatchers were doing exactly what he wanted. Also, lol funny how rSlash really did add a dispatch radio sound when he read all of that 😂 Second Story: I mean Jean brought this on herself. Jean wanted to call OP dumb so OP acted exactly like that. Don’t be a douché to ur employees. Wouldn’t dropping to 7 employees after having 20 would be a red flag? Third Story: Its hilarious how these bosses really expected OP to stay and work longer for free lmao. This is what happens when u make stupid choices like prohibiting overtime Fourth Story: This is why you don’t always believe everything u read online. Funny how this Karen wanted to complain about OP but literally OP tried to explain constantly but she wouldn’t listen Fifth Story: I can’t stand HOAs. Those are the worst and I honestly hope I never end up in a HOA. Sixth Story: What kind of dumb rule is that?
"Wouldn’t dropping to 7 employees after having 20 would be a red flag?" Could be seen as smart management and operation streamlining. But it would certainly get their attention. And, when the sales then dipped significantly, she was gone.
about the "everyone quit once the manager started" story, it could be seen by corporate that the store had too many employees, so them all leaving was a good thing. But it seems that they quickly realized that it was in fact not the case.
I would love to see a conversation with the landlord. "We have a pet limit." "Yes, eight legs. And as you can see, my snakes have no legs, so therefore do not break the limit. In fact, I plan to bring home two more next week."
An uninvited "guest" - a spider, has taken up residence in our home. We refer to her (or maybe him) as Fifi. I'm not sure whether Fifi qualifies as a pet, but if so, since we also have a dog, clearly we would be in breach of the 8 pet-leg rule. Fortunately, we don't suffer from HoA's in the UK.
20 employees to 7?!?! If I was corporate at that point not only would I fire that manager I would make it so she/he wouldn't ever get a "Manager" position EVER again
right? major sign that something is going on. although, they might have counted it as a win, because now they only need to pay 7 people as apposed to 20. they might have been chasing that $$
@@abiean222 it's still bullshit in my opinion a business owner who I'd happy he has to pay less people less money just so he can line his own wallet at that point that sounds like potential embezzlement/fraud and I would get feds involved cus they should be in jail for that
First story: ah yes... Calling police for everything that's a little bit not normal without thinking about it even once. Here in Germany we have tons of people calling police whenever there are military aircraft going supersonic and causing the telltale booom. While there are some very limited corridors above rural areas were supersonic flights are allowed to be done for training purposes this isn't done often. More often it's fighters going after airliners, cargo or private aircrafts that somehow lost contact with the air traffic controllers they were supposed to be in contact with or they somehow messed up their transponder code or switched said transponder off (while atc can't spot them as their radar works by looking for transponders military radar definetly can spot them). If a unresponsive aircraft does not answer for a certain time they are flagged as renegade and fighters are dispatched to take look, establish communication and, if it actually is something malicious going on, take further steps. Often pilots mute their radio either accidentally or because they need a bit of quiet and forget about it, things malfunction or pilots mess up something else (typo while picking the frequency etc). In any case, if fighters are scrambled, they need to get to the offending aircraft asap. And as police and emergency services are allowed to go waaay above the speed limit they are allowed to go supersonic. They will cause a sonic boom and people freak out because they tend to ignore the fact that our military exists unless it's right under their nose or, in this case, right above their roofs. From what my dad told me, back when we had more airforce bases of our own and lots of British and American bases, supersonic activities were common and everybody was familiar with the sound. Now, with reduced numbers of foreign forces and considerably downsized numbers of our own power people don't know what our own troops can do, how their stuff sounds and they apparently don't bother to look out the window after a big bang to see (and hear) the pretty obvious culprit pair of Eurofighter zooming off (just started to rebuild numbers and bases as politicians realized that the world is in fact not all sunshin and daisies Disneyland). People call police, police call a number of the public relations guy located at a flight coordinations office, they get the obligatory 'yep, it's us again' or 'yea... Looks like some American/British miscalculated speed and wind...' and police can announce that everything is OK. From what my father told me, it's always fun to see the locations of the calling police departments matching up with the path the fighters took. Lol. * But seriously... Sonic booms are loud but they don't sound like a explosion or a crash. It's a pretty unique sound that distinctively comes from above... Apparently people also called panicking about a group of military helicopters once... I don't think if they thought we just teleport equipment if units need to go to another base for training but apparently these people rather assumed a war started than that these choppers are just traveling to another base... Luckily the people were I currently live are used to the US army Blackhawks landing at the local hospital regularly for training purposes and because the next big US army base drops of patients that the US army hospital can treat themselves at this university medical center. Sometimes they come in groups of four or five, they always make a circle above the city center with its cathedral and old town... Guess they are doing a little bit of sightseeing lol. *(my father is a senior master sergent in the airforce and he worked a flight coordinators position for quite a while. The public relations guy is only in during the week and during daytime. On weekends, during the night and on holidays said sergent rank 24/7 position mainly in flight coordination answered these calls by police and almost everything relating calls from airforce bases that needed to be forwarded to higher-ups and sometimes even all the way up to the ministry of defense. Luckily it's a large open plan office with my dad's desk (flight coordinating) being in a adjacent office to the main room that housed the unit that does airspace surveillance so one can look up all ongoing flights and scrambled fighters and even past flights within seconds.)
I would immediately call the cops or a towing company on the OP in the last story. There's simply no way it's legal to block the streets like that, it's a HUGE safety risk.
So you're absolutely correct about brexit. It was, single-handedly, the dumbest move that England has made in a long time. Basically, England was, before brexit, a part of the European Union and therefore all of the British citizens could freely travel to any other member of the European Union which consisted of a dozenish countries. It also meant no import export taxes, and various other legitimately amazing benefits that every country in the European Union benefited from. The thing is, when England decided to figure out if their population was in favor of this, they decide to hold a national vote. All of the old people who are going to die in the next 10 years decided to vote in favor of leaving the European Union because they're stupid and dying. A majority, if not damn near all of them, voted to leave and there are more old people than young people in England who vote. On top of that, they didn't even have a majority of people in the country voting. They looked at the polls versus their census and a lot of people, easily 40% of the country, didn't vote
A general manager firing a incompetent store manager for lossing so much staff in just a few months? But rSlash that would make way too much sense and as we all know corporate entities and or people don't do making sense.
You can have one, so long as you personally cut off all the legs of every single ant in the colony. Every time an ant makes it through the pupa stage, just go in an lop off all those freshly formed legs.
About your comment on the first story: we have a new manager at my place of work. All of a sudden, the younger staff isn't doing their job well, meaning the more experienced ones have to fix their mistakes the day after. The new manager is the one who works evenings with the younger ones most. Yet none of the other managers seem to really do something about how horrible of a manager our new manager is. Hate working with him.
6:30 Right? We got a new boss at work back in like April, I think. The big people have described her work as "hitting it out of the park," but all I can ask is wtf are they even talking about? The only thing she's done is get rid of all our set schedules, so now our days of work and days off are inconsistent. She's in charge of 3 locations, and in our location we've had enormous turnover ever since she took over. So, what is she even doing? Pissing off her employees and driving them to find employment at our competitors. And they took away a whole day of work from me. After talking to HR, the magical solution they came up with was "update your boss of your availability". Since I've done that, I've lost ANOTHER entire day of work. So, they're going to lose me too. Wtf is with places supporting terrible bosses?
How many times In malicious compliance does this happen? 1) old good manager retires 2) new terrible manager is brought in 3) new terrible manager fires dose something stupid that pisses off everyone 4) lot of people quit 5) new manager gets fired
On that last story, would you be barred from having a milipede? Would they consider a spider "pushing it"? Also hoas generally only have the power to delegate the front yards appearance. There are other things like they can make you take down things like posters if you put them in the windows to intentionally affect the forward appearance of the property even if they are in the house but some states will take your side in these cases. It pretty funny actually, as long as you follow all state regulations and get proper permits you can even put HUGE structures in your backyard and most jurisdictions will not force you to take it down. Also, you 100% can trespass your hoa memebers from your property requiring them to stay on the sidewalks while "investigating" violations of rules. For the most part the only part of your homes appearance they can control legally are parts where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy (eg they cant go onto your property and take pictures over a wall because it isnt visible from the street. They will try but an hour or two of a decent lawers time will shoo them away. Hell, they will probably back off from a public defender xD
Last story, that HOA thing... they might have no authority to stop people from parking on the street, but aren't there traffic laws that rule out parking if the car is blocking the street? It'd be one single call to authorities where I live and your car would be towed to your expenses within an hour max.
They want you to do exactly as OP did and work through lunch to get it done on your time. Don't do that and you aren't a 'team player.' Make them right you up for not working without pay, that might come in handy later...
6:30 At the store I work at there was a manager that had lost the store over 100 employees in just 6 months of working there, and not only that she listed every single one as ineligible for rehire. She went on racist tirades on employees and customers, and the store’s reputation so bad that we still get calls and complaints about her to this day. But instead of firing her corporate moved her to the company’s best store.
The Peter Principle- People rise to their level of incompetence, then stay there because the organization doesn't want them to move to a more responsible position where they would be REALLY incompetent.
last story...I once had to go to a client's house who lived in a HOA. The rule for this HOA was NO VECHILES over 10 years old allowed in the community. They had a parking lot outside the gated community for older cars and you were to be shyttled to the person's house you were visiting. Well, this client only owned one car and his wife was out shiopping. And the shuttle service was down for maintenance. The client expected me to WALK over two miles to their hour. I told them not happening. They then said to wait and he would call his wife. I said fine but I'm starting the clock on my hourly rate. He said fine. FIVE HOURS LATER. the wife finally showed up, took me to the house. I fixed the computer problem he was having. 15 minutes later. I was ready to leave and I handed him the invoice for $525. He lost it saying he wasnt paying it for 15 minutes of work. I said it was 15 minutes of work, 5 hours of waiting and I had his VOICE recorded sayin fine when I told him I was starting the clock. The wife told him to just pay the bill. She apoligized as she took me back to my car, saying she never wanted to move thier in the first place because of that stupid car rule.
BREXIT: Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) voted a few years ago whether to leave the EU. Many experts warned that their leaving would have dire market consequences, but the way the discussion was pitched basically put globalism against nationality and it turned populist really fast. One main aspect also included the contribution of refugees entering the EU and how GB would be "forced" to accept their share (I don't remeber the exact numbers, but I believe theirs would have increased from a few hundreds to a few thousand. Sounds much, but it's a laugh comparable to other european countries). The majority voted for leaving the Union, so the political and financial discussions began and were finalized in the beginning of 2020. As of now, their market has (nearly?) crashed, because many international companies have moved their production elsewhere. Additionally, within the EU traffic works rather effortlessly, because borders are lessened between EU countries (EU =/= all of Europe). So now that GB left the EU, the borders have been altered and it's more difficult to import/export goods between GB and EU. Hope that clarified things and isn't just me indulging my rambling.
I wonder if that meteor was the one from 2017; that one was seen across most of the U.S. It didn't go to Vegas though, it landed in Lake Michigan. Some bits may have been recovered near Green Bay, but I heard nothing further.
Hey, I just had my manager leave cause we went from 30 employees to 6 in about 2 to 3 months of her coming on, including all full time staff leaving except for me and my direct associate under me, all of my peer department managers quit with less than 2 weeks notice. Sadly, they didn't fire her but she did write our reviews. My new boss is great, but he had to give me her review and from the get go, he's like "what? Why did she write this? I've been here 3 weeks and there's never been 1 time you've not been great with customers." Thankfully he said he's going to roll up to corporate to change this rating.
Story 3: Was it McDonald’s? I’m a manager at a restaurant, and we recently had a cashless payment outage that similarly aligns with that weekend schedule. Many restaurants were only accepting cash or faced very long delays while the cashless readers loaded or canceled payments. If so… it would’ve cost thousands in revenue for restaurants everywhere. All for some stupid “cost saving” measures.
Over 20 years ago, I worked at a music club run by a d-bag who thought he was the coolest guy ever. He was cheap as Scrooge, dumb as a box of hair, and sleazy as a crooked used car salesman. He used to pay some employees in fake money with the club's logo on the front, which really torqued us all off, as we weren't able to use his Monopoly money to pay sitters, buy groceries, or anything else. We could only use them in the bar for drinks at a one-to-one dollar basis. One day I asked him when I was going to actually get paid, and he said, "Don't you get Club Bucks? Use them and leave me alone." Cue my malicious compliance. I was a *heavy* drinker at the time, big guy with a genetic predilection towards alcohol tolerance and a liver that must have come from Superman. I walked into the bar one night when I was off, handed over $30 to the bartender (sweet lady everybody absolutely loved) and said, "Here's your tips for the night, from me." She thanked me since I basically paid for her babysitter. Then I pulled out a wad of the Club Bucks larger than my fist and smiled like a pirate. She smiled back and laughed as she asked me what I wanted. I burned through every single one of those Club Bucks that night, mostly buying drinks for myself, but I also bought drinks for others, just to make certain I spent everything. In all, the bar was out well over $300 from handing out drinks paid for with the Club Bucks. The owner saw me most of the way through the night, realized I was buying everything with the funny money, and he got seriously mad. After he grilled me and asked why I was doing this, I said, "You told me to use the Club Bucks you gave me, so here I am." After that, I was always paid in cash.
From what I've heard/read some of it was xenophobia/racism. And some others decided to vote "leave" as some sort of "f*** you" to authorities or something. Hopefully, people will have learned to treat their votes seriously.
I had a factory job once with mandatory overtime, namely weekends. I refused to comply at first, I had a baby at home I wanted to spend time with. Then they threatened to write me up about 6 months later, so I started going, but doing the bare minimum. During normal hours, I worked hard, so for me to slack was very unusual. Then started the panic attacks, hospitalizations, and eventually they ended up paying unemployment to me, all because they thought it was a good idea to coerce me to work 6-7 days per week (56ish hours). They knew when I took the job that I had anxiety and depression, but maybe they didn't realize not having time off to do more than sleep, eat, and repeat would make it worse. *Note: I had never had a panic attack before that, so had no idea what was going on when I couldn't stop crying when my supervisor tried to talk to me. He wasn't yelling or saying anything mean, and he was as shocked as I was by my crying. He was just trying to ask me what had happened between me and a line lead who wasn't my line lead. He gave up and sent me to the nurse, who had me lay down until the end of the shift. I went to my doctor, who sent me to a voluntary psych hospital. Things just spiraled from there for years. I am a little better now, no panic attacks in a few years, but I do get overwhelmed in large groups of strangers or by the idea of a stranger coming into my home.
In the second story something happened to me. Just in the "moving really slowly" part, an ad appeared, so it was even funnier! "Moving... Really... *Wild ad appears* ... Slowly..."
Dabney: "Your manager leaves and you bring in your new manager, and within months of bringing in this new manager, you go from 20 employees to seven, what kind of idiot is like, "Well, keep up the good work new manager! I'm sure you're doing GREAT job!" Wouldn't you just immediately fire the new manager and just step in as the manager yourself until ou got things fixed?" Not if the new manager was passionately hugging someone higher up. This exact thing happened at a Thrift Store I used to work at. New manager, whose only experience was at a Starbucks. She came in, started making insanely stupid decisions, fired an employee (who had to be replaced by FIVE new people to match the workload he handled), destroyed employee morale, caused the ENTIRE staff except for two or three people to quit, jacked up prices to the point where we lost half our customer base, and threw literal screaming tantrums on the floor in front of customers and staff alike. The store hemorrhaged employees, she replaced them with 18-year-old seasonal workers and the store is chronically understaffed year round because the college graduates quit for greener pastures the instant another opportunity arises OR the summer season is over. She was reported multiple times and the only response we ever got was "I know SOME of you have problems with the new manager, but we hired her for a reason and she will remain the store manager." We know she's got an in with that higher-up, though we don't have proof. I resigned because she started workplace bullying and the higher-up adamantly refused to acknowledge it, and simply told me to my face that it wasn't workplace bullying. (she threw another screaming fit because I, a 5'2" woman, was not physically capable of moving the gutter that had ripped off the roof and fallen into the parking lot while caked in hundreds of pounds of ice.)
I'm sorry, OP... class C licenses DO exist. They're required to drive a vehicle to transport 16 or more passengers in my state. Including the driver. But I don't see why an HOA specifically mentions "Hey, you can't have more than one party bus parked in your driveway"?
Story #2: I'm going through a similar scenario right now with a new manager. Long story short: the manager has ridiculed/berated the good leadership until they transferred out or quit, he's hired-on incompetent shift-leads that he knows personally (favoritism much?), and has blockaded internal promotion within the store other than his own dedicated lackeys. He currently has an investigation going on him and I've been documenting further incidents as well. When the last good-leader left, we had a mass exodus of workers from multiple shifts. No ending to this yet, but I am still watching, waiting, and recording as per one-party-consent laws allow.
Ah see that's where you're wrong. Think about it, you only learn so much from interviewing a person and it's illegal for references to bad mouth you as it can be seen as basically targeting a person preventing them from finding employment. You only learn how useless a manager/worker is after some time on the job
@@thetruth1816 I agree completely but that's in an ideal world but in a structured management system like that the higher up the ladder you go the less responsibility taken. Blame will always be laid at the feet of the lower tier workers. It's horrible but that's how it is. The bigger the business the more common this becomes
@@Aa_ron something I learned from som management classes ibtook yrs ago. Had 2 great teachers (full time silicon Valley corporate) and one lazy brain dead loon (tenured, never worked but as a teacher). One of the things Tim & Michael drilled into our heads is if someone is calling abt checking work history, the only things yo say are length of service, date they left. The critical thing in this is that if you're careless with wording it might cause legal issues. So the key thing is how you say the innocuous stuff you say. Bc tone of voice can be very telling.
My parents live within an HOA which sucks, there are people who regularly drive around & take pictures then send emails to people about the stupidest things like they weren't a fan of where my dad placed the trash bins. There's also a two pet limit which I can see to prevent people from breeding, that's fine but it's like, not everyone can abide by that. Thankfully, that's the one rule they don't go too hard on, this is a dog loving neighborhood, almost everyone has a dog. My family has an elderly cat, use to have four cats but by the time they moved here, there was one left & they're waiting for him to pass before getting a new pet since he's 19 years old, it would be easier on him. There's already a lot of craziness that happens here since the majority of my family has dogs & brings them over sometimes. My sister's boyfriend has a service dog & my sister has a dog that use to belong to our aunt before she passed, they were very close so she took her dog after she died. We've had both dogs over & other family's dogs here at the same time as well as the neighbor's dog coming over to play, they have an adorable dachshund that they got as a puppy right around the time they moved in, he came over to play with the dogs a lot once he was vaccinated to get him introduced to other dogs at a young age. I did worry for a bit that my parents would get chewed out by the HOA for being dog central but so far, so good. I rent a loft above their house so I kinda have to deal with them too, that is until I can afford to live somewhere else, I just choose here because rent is cheap & I don't like being apart from my kitty.
No, going from 20 down to 7 was a feature, not a bug. She probably got a bonus for reducing payroll. Jan only got fired when sales plummeted from OP's mom taking away all of her business.
"... gone to Vegas" Elvis: Sorry, I have no idea who came around! Vegas: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Area 51: I can neither confirm nor deny any new visitors.
3500 feet is a MASSIVE underestimate. Meteors decelerate rapidly as they plunge deeper into the atmosphere, and even those that survive to the ground stop glowing at a height of about 15-20 km, or 48,000-63,000 feet, well above the typical airliner cruising altitude of 37,000 feet.
that second story is JUST LIKE what happened to my mom near the start of the pandemic. a few years prior, the manager for her department retired and a new one from within the unit was picked. not even half a year later, 3 people who had worked there for at least 20 years up and quit. and my mom was under so much stress because her new supervisor was down right bullying her with shit that just she could get away with. thankfully though, a position opened up within a different department with a different superviser and my mom applied for it. she got the job, at the cost of a significant paycut, but she said it was far worth it to get this new boss, cus she's actually a nice person, and they've been getting along great ever since. throughout the pandemic though, her old boss's unit has had such a high turnout (i think that's the term) rate that it's a surprise she still has her job. probably helps that she brown noses the county director though, which is my moms bosses boss. because it sure isn't her managerial skills that's keeping her in her position XD
Story 4: The reasons for Brexit are subject to a lot of argument. My view is that it was caused by a very well-funded decade-long propaganda campaign. But the reasons for not undoing Brexit are simple and twofold: People don't like to admit that they were wrong; and Europe is fed up with dealing with the UK's b*llsh*t. IE: We won't ask to come back, and the EU won't take us back even if we asked. (And the one-word snappy title is "Rejoin", but "Breeeeentry" does a better job of capturing the stupidity of the whole saga IMO.)
I guess it will take AT LEAST one generation for the EU to ... forget/ive the shitshow that is (because it's still happening like a slow motion train wreck) brexit... and given that in some countries, for an applicant the size of the UK it is mandatory to ask the peoples, that peoples have an even longer memory and that one of those countries is France that UK politicians in charge and the press are shiting on daily, let's say it will be an hard sell, indeed
5th story: To screw with your entire neighborhood so you can have an obscene number of cars on your property is an asshole move. If your street was the main way to get in and out of the neighborhood, blocking the street could easily slow down medical services long enough for someone to die. 3/5 butholes
For the 2nd story: I'm pretty sure when they said 'gifted' they were transferred to that store. For some wack-ass reason, some employees cannot be fired, so they end up getting transferred until they find a place that they cannot stand and quit on their own, as they 're just garbage people, but all within the rules. So another store was finally screaming in happiness that "Jean" finally left. . . cursing that store with their presence. 4th Story: ... RSlash... dude... ... "Why do people Brexit and can't Unbrexit?" ... ... dude. I don't... I don't have words. . Why doesn't the US just S. That's the level of confusion I'm at right now.
HOA "Pet Legs" rule at the end... Dogs and cats etc do not have four legs. It's a common misconception, perhaps caused by them walking on all four limbs, but those front limbs are arms and hands, not legs and feet. So if anybody else is out there with a "Pet Legs limit", you are likely able to have more pets than you - and the HOA board - thinks.
A quick lesson on Brexit. Brexit happened due to many reasons, it sounds like a mistake, but there is more to it. Now the reasons for BREXIT is simple: 1: They had a migrant problem, mostly assylum seekers. They were getting full and couldn't handle the current migrants. They told the EU they couldn't take more, but the EU went: "YOU HAVE TO!" Thus one reason was to keep them out. This problem still presists within the EU to this day with other countries (including mine where assylum seekers are dieing in camps outside of centers cause we don't have room or budget to take em in) 2: EU regulations were getting in the way of certain developments. This happens in other EU countries too, but due to the EU regulating things, Brittian had to stick to it. Such as the infamous COPPA they wanted to put in. Now imagine other regulations that is impeding some of your business... you want to get out of it. 3: Having to pay debts for countries that are doing far worst then you. Greece was going bankrupt and EU countries bailed them out twice with BILLIONS OF EUROS. They are still bankrupt to this day, can't reform some of their social programs/retirement age since then the workers go on strike... and are bleeding money... meanwhile well off countries like Brittian lost alot of money for their social programs... Including their "Universal Healthcare" Since more countries are needing bailing out... they didn't want to keep paying the EU for this. 4: They are known for being solidarity for ages.. thus they wanted that back.. more a pride thing if anything. In short alot of people were sick of the EU telling them what to do, losing money due to the EU and such. They wanted out....thus they voted and went out. Wich costed them billions of POUNDS due to fines and fees. And they lost borderless transport and gained VISAs and such. Wich they wanted.. but it hurt them in the long run due to their trade deal being gone. They can't free trade with the EU anymore...it costs import and such, but... now they can trade with other countries outside of the EU much easier and under their own rules. The gouverment knew it would hurt them IMMIDENTLY but.. in the long run... they would be able to control their country better and get more money back. THATS THE PLAN OF IT OF COURSE! The pay off is yet to be seen. So now you know why they did it... (or reasons given) what do you think of Brexit? Note this isn't 100% accurate and you SHOULD do your own research, but these are the 4 points I personally believe they did. Especially in 1-3 are problems in other EU countries like my own and are reasons for my country to leave the EU.
Brexit can be neatly summed up as: Old people thought EU = Bad/Germany, Britain still Empire and thus EU will buckle to Britain, they litteraly said they could just make an economic deal with Berlin, but due to to the EU single amrket those deals are made by the EU. That did all not happen, the EU stood it's ground and now Britain is stuck with being a third country, except that there are no treaties that ease anything, because the goverment of Boris Johnson thought that they, the Brits could strongarm the EU into concessions. Now British citizens have to endure Brexit and rejoining will not be easy, since the EU is rightly pissed at the high and mighty attitude of the British government, so the UK would loose many of it previous exceptions. And btw: Brexit might kill the United part of the UK, Northern Ireland got special treatment to prevent violence on the island of Ireland and is thus thriving and Scotland isn't to happy about having to suffer with the British due to them wanting out. NI and Scotland vote Remain, Wales and England votes Leave, except London, which voted Remain aswell. But mainland Europe has other problems than Brexit, that is not really a thing to be talked about anymore, it happend, be done with it. Only in the UK people are still talking about it, since they got the short straw.
As I understand it "Brexit" is slang for the decision to leave the European Union. It was put to a vote of the British people, while many people voted to leave as a lark, and surprise! it passed. I believe they are still trying to negotiate with the EU on how best to exit.
I wouldn't say brexit is slang but it's what its called, the reason Brexit passed was because a lot of people in Britain at the time was scared about immagrants being passed over to us because being part of the EU when immagrants escape there County due to war or for better life the EU would try and spread them out into diffrent country's so no country was getting this wave of people pushed onto them however (I don't know if its only this country or if there was others this is the only one I see evidence on) France would ship these people out over to the UK when these people got to our side they were now considered our problem so we helped as best we could supporting them with shelter and jobs with which then lead into British people crying because " there taking are jobs and homes that shouldn't be for them they should be for us!!* (please read that in the entitled parents voice) however even after leaving brexit which was supposed to stop it France was still passing immagrants over to us(there was a video that went viral which should French police who was supposed to be guarding the sea between country's to stop people taking boats over instead watching and sometimes helping them getting across they put loads of people on a inflatable raft and pushed them out they even smiled and waved at the cameras) a lot of people did not wont to leave if i remember correctly it was a close vote it wasn't a lark it was a current issue that got blown way out of proportion and yes we have left but we're still argueing on some of the problems leaving like truck and workers ect i remember when brexit was finally passed France closed over the tunnel to fence and Britain and ques and ques of trucks was trapped, shops aisles we're empty for a long time, if there was another vote im sure Britain would end brexit and try to rejoin, I hope this cleared some things up
@@________________Aprilfools63__ We only get snippets over here and some broadcasts implied some voters did it out on a lark, while not really believing it would pass. I know it means British Exit but wanted to keep things as brief as possible.
Brexit is the dumbest idea ever, I got mocked when I said im voting to remain because unlike in the 70s we rely on the EU for nearly everything, I got told I was thick etc and yet look at us now, also we can't just undo it as we basically stuck two fingers up at the EU and we would have to pay more money we still can't afford to beg to be joined back and those in charge won't admit they messed up and lied.
@@river-weav3r oh trust me I have, im mixed race and they say it gets rid of dem foreigners, even though im British born I get guys telling me to go back to where I was born, I like those cos I get to be sarcastic 😆
An addendum to another comment I see explaining what Brexit is... As I understand it, the reason they left is because they would have to pay more fees, and for some reason their parliament is ADAMANT about not paying membership fees apparently, because paying for services rendered is an unheard of concept to politicians. Wouldn't wanna be one of their maids! So that's why no "Bre-entry." Stubborn politicians. The vote to brexit was held like 3 times anyway, and only passed because a bunch of old people voted for it because they're curmudgeonly and the opposite of wise. People like that are the reason climate change, housing shortages and all the issues modern teens face trying to become adults exist. "Just get a job and go buy a house, that's what I did back in 1975 when I turned 18 and got kicked out of my old place," says the 70+-year-old that contributed to jacking up inflation, owns 5 properties in this city alone that they rent like a miser at an extortionate rate, and drives a 1993 Jeep 4-door or Hummer that gets like 12 mpg.
Story 2: I think businesses who refuse to promote from within deserve to fail. If you can't develop your staff, you're a bad business owner and you need to take some classes. Otherwise, you'll never employ someone for more than two years. Personally, my greed would NOT be worth the absolute hassle of rebuilding my entire staff every couple of years.
The meteor's 1500mi/h speeding is a bit of an understatement. Meteors enter dark flight (the point where they stop glowing) at 2km a second(1.24mi), so it would have been going above 7200km/h(4474mi/h). How ever, the minimum speed they enter the atmosphere at is 12km a second (7.46mi), so it would have been travelling at over 43200km/h (26843.2mi) at it's fastest
About the No Overtime story, if this happened October 4 (I think) I was working at my local grocery store when this happened, it affected the entire area. No matter what we did the system just wouldn’t let the cards go through “Not Applicable” it said (or something along those lines). Our productivity was cut down by, like, half and we had to work through a number of customer interactions where the payment would be marked as Pending in the bank app yet the transaction had yet to go through our system and the customer was convinced that they had paid. I don’t blame anyone, I’m just not fully awake yet to but my thoughts in order so I’m word vomiting here. 👍
the first story makes me think of how happy i am to have my job. it’s a popular fast food chain that is notorious for being understaffed and having a high turnover rate. it’s the only chain store in my town so it’s always ridiculously busy and i complain about the shitty management in front of said management and i even told FU to a karen who was treating my underage coworker like absolute garbage. i haven’t received so much as a slap on the wrist. i even quit and they begged for me back. i have to stay because my back up job fucked me over and it is the only comparable place around that gives me hours and pays a reasonable amount. but even tho the store is run poorly and i hate the job sometimes, i am lucky to be able to get small revenges on customers who piss me off like adding too much of a product to their order when they are rude and unreasonable because i know the management is so desperate for competent people and because i’m a fast, efficient employee, they will keep me and keep giving raises. i’m sorry for OP i’m the first story because shitty management is one thing, but it’s even worse when they micromanage everything and give you poor reviews for quality performance. i shit talk the customers with my GM and he is great with that. yes the store went to shit when he went on vacation because the assistant manager was left to run it and he is a lazy piece of shit and my GM won’t do anything and the district manager doesn’t give a shit either, but in the end, i am grateful i can get away with what i can. lol this comment is to the void but im happy i said it
Regarding Brexit, Here's the simple explanation: The EU is a giant tangle of trade deals and other treaties between countries. Think NAFTA plus the way Canadians and Americans used to be able to cross the border without passports, then multiply it by a hundred. In 2016, for reasons that mostly come down to "Britain used to have an Empire so we don't want to be treated as equals," the older generation pushed through a referendum to take Britain out of the EU. That's Brexit. Britain exiting the EU. The result is that for the first time in 50 years, Britain is completely on their own in terms of making trade deals, passing regulations, and all other international interactions. They no longer get the benefit of working together with the rest of Europe to get the best deal possible. Moreover, all the old deals and regulations are instantly called into question, because they were all EU rules. So Britain either has to redo everything or they have to just copy-paste EU rules which pisses off the people who voted for Brexit. To make it all worse, the people who pushed through Brexit in the first place actively lied to the public to get votes and the whole thing has turned into a giant disaster, but it has progressed too far to stop. Even if they could "unBrexit," they've burned so many political bridges it probably isn't possible to stop at this point.
I LOVE rslash. I listen all the time. BUT please do more choosing beggars and entitled parents! I may be alone on this, but malicious compliance and the revenge ones are my least favorite, and those seem to be the ones you do the most.
TL:DR Regarding the fourth story, the EU is a customs union as well, since the UK left they aren't a part of it anymore. That's one reason for the extra paperwork. The EU is an international supranational union, where the member states have relinquished some of their legislative powers in certain legal domains to the EU Bodies (that are composed of all the member states, all of them elected). Basically the goal is unity, one internal market, legislation that is almost the same across the member states, liberty of movement of goods and people, liberty of establishment, all the good stuff anyways. Member states can join and they can leave. When they leave, given that they are part of the internal economy, well, it's like a divorce, they have to separate the legal ties they have. In the UK's case they did it because people were led to believe that the UK was giving too much money to the EU and not getting enough back. So they divorced the EU and kinda got screwed in the process since they were, in comparison, the weaker party (also because it took them a long ass time to actually leave after the vote).
FYI: A class C vehicle is mostly known as the small motorhome/RVs. It's funny that that HOA only banned the class C, because a class B (medium sized) and class A (large sized) take more room.
Thanks for the stories rslash. Exactly. If things go from really good to really bad, why would you blame people who've worked there a while and not the new manager? Will never understand. Have a good Sunday
I just had an idea... why don't higher ups at companies do surprise inspections where they directly ask all employees whether the new manager should be fired?... would save a TON of money for an extremely small amount of work
@RSlash Brexit is simply when Britian left the European Union. Without getting too complicated the EU (European Union) is a collection of agreements which makes ask the European countries act similar to how the US and states do regarding travel, trade etc. It also issued it's own currency that basically supercedes the other countries currencies and everyone in the EU trades in Euros instead of Frank's and all the countries individual currencies. By Britian leaving they are treated as an independent country. Almost imagine if Texas became it's own country and separate from the US. And now imagine all the ramifications of that. I think that helps paint a good idea of how complicated it was and you can get an idea of the good and bad. Mainly they have more autonomy and aren't as tightly tied to the leaders of the EU. They also keep their currency valuable outside of Britian and can have more control with the downsides mainly in exterior trade and travel is pretty different and messed up. I hope that helps clear it up!
Brexit in simple terms was a decision made by the public to no longer be apart of the European government, this means that the UK government doesn't have to follow EU laws, UK gains a larger EEZ and a few others however it also gains more restrictions. UK citizens now can't stay in Europe areas for more than 90 days without having a visa, if you want to trade between England and Spain u need a license (this is an example) I believe, this also applies to European nationals. So one of the problems in UK is a lot of its labour force has evaporated, truck drivers, warehouse staff, farm workers, factory workers, Airport staff and many more because of covid. As during covid many workers decided to just stay because of the amount of paper work needed to just go to England for little pay and people being racist to you. So now the UK have to try getting people to do those jobs, however because no-one wants the pay the industry offers compared to just being unemployed or living off benefits as you don't need to work and still get paid.
That last bit sounds like an incentive to animal cruelty - if anyone in the HOA removes a pet's limb(s), they could end up in court, or at least in the news.
An infinite amount of snakes!!! XD XD I would love to see a member of that HOA walk into a house and it's like filled with so many snakes that they're covering the floor completely!! When they would as the homeowner what's with all the snakes, he would tell them "well, you said only 8 pet legs in our home and since snakes don't have any legs, that means I could have as many snakes as I want". I would love to see the horrified expression on that person's face when they walk out of the house. Perhaps it would be time to reevaluate the rules ;P
I'd love to be a fly on the wall for story 3 when it makes it to the CEO that the no OT policy cost them a ton of money. should be an immediate reprimand and possible fired on the spot for incompetency. I'd also permanently dock pay and remove bonuses.
That last point about the "8 pet legs". Fish also wouldn't count! Run a damn fish breeding company from your house and the HOA can't do shit about it. XD
Dont mess with dispatchers, they help keep everything moving in a police department, and unfortunately, a lot of their work goes unappreciated. My mom and grandma both worked as dispatchers for years and its really unfortunate that people don't appreciate them. Dispatchers are like the nurses of the police world, while they dont respond directly to things they are still the ones who take the calls, send out the appropriate response, and so much more. Sadly, this means also getting the calls where people do not make it for one reason or another, and that takes a toll on them. So please, appreciate the work dispatchers do, they work hard to keep things going and calls responded to in the fastest most appropriate way possible. Its a draining job that takes a lot of effort that goes unappreciated by police and the public.
rSlash, Brexit was Britain exiting the European Union. There were a number of reasons for this (I'm American btw), but one of the bigger ones was monetary. The countries doing well financially were essentially bankrolling other countries that were failing financially and that refused to take the required steps to get their finances under control. In other words, countries like Great Britain were being bled dry paying for other's mistakes. There were other problems, of course as well as some benefits. The majority of people in Britain decided that the cons of staying outweighed the pros and left. While I think the European Union is a good idea in general, they did not form a union that actually REQUIRED the various countries involved to commit to unified policies in several key areas. Will it last? Only time will tell, but several of the countries involved have opposing policies and views on where it should head. Great Britain disagreed and chose not to be dragged in a direction it did not wish to go. Totally giving up sovereignty to be part of a union is a difficult choice to make, especially if you don't agree with where that may take you. It's similar to the reasons why Puerto Rico has remained a territory rather than becoming a state or going completely independent.
For the second story. If companies had that much logic, my workplace would've fired half their management team, since they'd look at the data and see that a lot of people left around the same time that Manager x is there. They never confront the manager, the only way to get the manager on radar of HR is to file a complaint about said manager, but that's a coin toss to see if it works.
For the second story, that sounds kinda like what happened at my old job. First manager I had there got fired (nice guy, but slow on his paperwork and had the assistant manager do things for him), second one didn't last a year and got fired (she was a b¡tch on wheels, but at the same time would stand by you when push came to shove), the third one is STILL there now and literally had driven away all of the OGs that were there. Most have gone to the competition that's like just around the corner from my last job. Her turnaround rate is ASTRONOMICALLY horrible, basically NO ONE works there now, and yet the District Manager hasn't fired her yet and that dumb dumb still has his job as well 🙄
-Jean- -Jan- -Jean- whatever. Happened to a friend of mine in... not quite IT, but something computer related, forgot what. He was aces for something like 7yrs under his old boss (literally old, retired), and they got some new assclown who wanted to flex all his new authoritah. Started finding fault with everyone and everything, but friend was singled out for whatever reason, probably for his give nor take any fcuks attitude. In 3mos or so, he got written up for various fault, then another write-up a month later, and it was made clear to him that his job was on the line, and he was brought into a meeting with high-up management (his job was that critical) to find out the reasons why. He listened to their grexing and all the Official Effluvium that was tossed his way, and it seemed they were going to side with Assclown, until he asked them if they were finished. They were a bit stunned. He then took printouts of alllllllllll his prior reviews while he worked there, laid them out nicely on the head honcho's desk, then said quite simply, "I was aces for all these years under Niceguy's tutelage, and now under Assclown's reign, I'm suddenly Public Enemy #1? I don't think the problem's with me, but with Assclown. And if you don't believe me, ask *anyone* else in our department.". Amazingly, no, *shockingly,* they did exactly that. Every person in the department said the same thing, that Niceguy was helpful, supportive, we all worked *very* well for and under him, but Assclown is, well, an assclown. Assclown was "laterally transferred" elsewhere and they promoted from within to fill the void, and all was happy in Mudville.
I live in a small city and the police department out here has always been required to respond to all calls. They'll get called out for some stupid stuff but it hasn't been a huge deal for them as far as I know
In a nutshell: Brexit is the name of UK's plan to leave the European Union. In the story they say leaving Europe, which is grossly incorrect. The UK is still part of Europe because, you know, geography. They just left the European Union and are no longer restricted by EU's policies, decisions, etc, which also means they no longer have the advantages of being a member state, such as easy shipments to the USA, passport-less travelling to all other member states, etc.
And the uk is leaving Europe for the same reasons America decided to become independent, to avoid taxes and laws set by other people out of their control. Just look how that turned out... we definitely need to rejoin the eu asap before we end up like that as well
Passportless travelling has nothing to do with the EU. It has everything to do with the Schengen Agreement.
With America not being in the European Union why should it change with post?
Well both Obama and Biden were against the UK leaving the EU. Biden even threatened that America would make it more difficult for the UK. So, politically based punishment type thing. 🙄 Politicians, you have got to love them! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Fyi you always needed a passport to travel to other countries in the European Union from the UK, what you didn't need was a visa to live and work etc if you had a passport from any eu member country.
Tbf, in British English, ‘Europe’ in this context is often used to mean the EU. It’s also often used in the same way as ‘the continent’ -which means any non U.K. European country (for example someone might say ‘on the continent they have better wine’)
Moral of this story 3: If you're gonna implement a no overtime policy, don't be surprised when 💩 really and utterly hit the fan and your employees just walks out the door because their shift is over!
want your employees to do their job? pay them. sounds simple, but it seems like no one gets the memo
They had that policy when I worked at Walmart ages ago. Got coached for ONE MINUTE of overtime. From then on, I dropped everything and left the moment I needed to get clocked out. Had at least once where I just lowered a pallet in the middle of pulling it back, because my shift was over. (Accounting for the time it took to walk to the time clock and clock out)
It’s not my fault the other shifts did practically nothing leaving night shift stuck pulling out and back the increasing number of pallets of crap, taking huge amounts of time in the shift. Ended up walking out in the middle of a coaching later when they didn’t like that I didn’t clean up another shifts mess that they did intentionally and was asking around who did it. That bridge is thoroughly burnt and I couldn’t care less. Screw Walmart.
@@trindalas I work a kroger, and honestly it's kinda bad too, but I luckily don't hear of any bs like that. I swear though, the sheer amount of horror stories I have heard about Walmart alone will ever keep me from working there
Higher ups like them ALWAYS forget that apparently employees also have brains, and veery invested on their MC 😂✋
Reminds me of that episode of The Office where they made an annual commission cap, so Jim hit his commission cap early in the year. And he asked them, “if I’m not getting paid to sell, then what incentive to I have to sell?” When they gave him the BS runaround, he dropped it and just started using his time at work fucking around
The HOA stories are that beautiful combination of Malicious Compliance and Petty Revenge! Like the guy who planted sunflowers, got told off by his HOA so he planted obnoxiously tall corn stalks instead! Sunflowers were indeed on the prohibited plants list, but corn wasn’t. He made a deal with his HOA. He removed the corn and they allowed him to replant the sunflowers.
Idk that HOA OP seems like one of the reasons that some people like HOA to begin with. Depending on state I would have started towing his cars as obstructions. He doesn't say he has 5 kids so he is basically collecting a junkyard in his lawn. If he is moving them and driving them regularly that is one thing, but if they are just basically lawn ornaments then he is basically being a dick to his neighbors.
So, about the second story... I myself am a store Manager. I got promoted at the begining of 2021. My old manager was moved to another store. As soon as I took over and began training everyone the write way and hiring my own staff, my store performance improved. The other store that she went to bombed. She was pregnant and with in the the first 2 weeks she was saying she could not perform the full job that she was paid to do. The staff there hated her and she told other stores and her staff that I was only doing well to spite her. When she went on leave early 2022, I was brought over to "help get the store back on track." The place was a mess. Nothing was to plan. The pour assistant manager was pretty much running the store but had been there for 4 months and did not know most of what her job entailed. Basically anything that this Store Manager could do wrong was done wrong. The worst this is the supervisor was dealing with some manger emotional distress and was told be the Store Manager the she had to suck it up and even went so far to cancel already approved time off she had given so she could do something with her husband. As a result, the supervisor had to postpone a very important doctor's appointment.
In the end, this Store manager said that she was not going to come back after her leave. However, they were going to still give her old position back. Dispite everting she did, obviously I did not list it all here, she was going to get her job back. I personally think that companies do not want to get rid of a SM because they can sometime be one of the hardest to hire, so instead they will promote some who may not be ready or move managers around. Hell, it took a year of both Store and Assistant manager at another location in my company stealing money for six months and the ASM having multiple sexual harassment charges against him to finally get fired. DM's are heavily graded on how many of their stores lack a full Managment team. I recently was forced to promote some one I did not feel was ready for the hight position because my DM liked him, not because of his work efficiency. And while I love him, we were still working on is struggles in his previous position.
TLDR: In my experience, I have seen companies want to go the easy route and just keep a manager in position because it is hard to hire store managers. You gotta do something really bad to get fired.
so, basically, to save some money they lose hige amounts of money
Story 3: I hate "No Overtime" because there's always going to be an issue at some point where someone *WILL* have to work overtime to take care of it. Just pay overtime.
I love my new job because of that. They offered me more hours for training and now I'm up to 60hrs this week alone. They don't mind it for the future either lol
Bubububut what about the rich corporate supervisors? What about their 4 figure bonuses? Won't someone think of the supervisors, where is this world going?
What they actually want is "do overtime but don't ask pay for it" which is illegal
The company that I worked for wouldn't pay overtime even if they worked it
No over time ? When some has to work over . What happeneds ? they have to work for free. That is the legal definition of slavery !
*First OP:* LOL at the walkie-talkie setting. I agree that OP missed an opportunity to make a joke about the meteor going over the speeding limit.
*Second OP:* Feigning incompetence at work is one thing, but mispronouncing your boss' name? That's next-level pettiness, lol. Also, shout out to OP's mom for canceling her account after OP switched jobs.
*Third OP:* Upper Management must not have gotten the memo: Don't mess with the IT Guy!

@@kierrific1357 however, the editor does what he is paid to do. So the decision to do that very well could have been rSlash's decision, not the editor's. It's also possible it was recorded that way. Regardless, I would think it has to be approved by rSlash before it gets published, but who knows.

There was a story about a guy who went shopping for an engagement ring when with a mutual friend and his girlfriend claimed she was with the mutual friend when she was actually planning on surprising him with a snake as a pet since he is a snake person. I feel like that last HOA loophole would have been heaven for him
as a snake owner i was very much enjoying that last bit
@@ice_bead She was off trying to get over her fear of snakes if i recall.
First story was glorious. Out of this world.
Literally.
Interstellar, if you think about it.
Just like me- i mean- nothing like me whatsoever
Cosmic, even!
First Story: I mean he did say any call lol. This guy has no reason to complain when all the dispatchers were doing exactly what he wanted. Also, lol funny how rSlash really did add a dispatch radio sound when he read all of that 😂
Second Story: I mean Jean brought this on herself. Jean wanted to call OP dumb so OP acted exactly like that. Don’t be a douché to ur employees. Wouldn’t dropping to 7 employees after having 20 would be a red flag?
Third Story: Its hilarious how these bosses really expected OP to stay and work longer for free lmao. This is what happens when u make stupid choices like prohibiting overtime
Fourth Story: This is why you don’t always believe everything u read online. Funny how this Karen wanted to complain about OP but literally OP tried to explain constantly but she wouldn’t listen
Fifth Story: I can’t stand HOAs. Those are the worst and I honestly hope I never end up in a HOA.
Sixth Story: What kind of dumb rule is that?
"Wouldn’t dropping to 7 employees after having 20 would be a red flag?"
Could be seen as smart management and operation streamlining.
But it would certainly get their attention.
And, when the sales then dipped significantly, she was gone.
i will never sign into an HOA. fuck that BS
Sixth story: technically infinite snakes
about the "everyone quit once the manager started" story, it could be seen by corporate that the store had too many employees, so them all leaving was a good thing.
But it seems that they quickly realized that it was in fact not the case.
yeah, it would have looked awesome on the surface, so why look deeper. they were saving money and that always looks good in the eyes of corporate
Customer: "ONE INVOICE IS ENOUGH!"
**Parcel doesn't make it to America **
Customer: **Surprised Pikachu Face**
"and an INFINITE NUMBER OF SNAKES!" idk why, but that had me ROLLING 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
I would love to see a conversation with the landlord. "We have a pet limit." "Yes, eight legs. And as you can see, my snakes have no legs, so therefore do not break the limit. In fact, I plan to bring home two more next week."
An uninvited "guest" - a spider, has taken up residence in our home. We refer to her (or maybe him) as Fifi. I'm not sure whether Fifi qualifies as a pet, but if so, since we also have a dog, clearly we would be in breach of the 8 pet-leg rule. Fortunately, we don't suffer from HoA's in the UK.
who would think such simple voice editing could be so legendary
its how he goes above and beyond that keeps me coming back
where?
@@bigtitmaster I'm guessing they're talking about the first story when rslash did the police radio bit.
Apparently, Daphne did
20 employees to 7?!?! If I was corporate at that point not only would I fire that manager I would make it so she/he wouldn't ever get a "Manager" position EVER again
right? major sign that something is going on. although, they might have counted it as a win, because now they only need to pay 7 people as apposed to 20. they might have been chasing that $$
@@abiean222 it's still bullshit in my opinion a business owner who I'd happy he has to pay less people less money just so he can line his own wallet at that point that sounds like potential embezzlement/fraud and I would get feds involved cus they should be in jail for that
yeah, but guess who hired the manager in the first place?
First story: ah yes... Calling police for everything that's a little bit not normal without thinking about it even once.
Here in Germany we have tons of people calling police whenever there are military aircraft going supersonic and causing the telltale booom.
While there are some very limited corridors above rural areas were supersonic flights are allowed to be done for training purposes this isn't done often. More often it's fighters going after airliners, cargo or private aircrafts that somehow lost contact with the air traffic controllers they were supposed to be in contact with or they somehow messed up their transponder code or switched said transponder off (while atc can't spot them as their radar works by looking for transponders military radar definetly can spot them).
If a unresponsive aircraft does not answer for a certain time they are flagged as renegade and fighters are dispatched to take look, establish communication and, if it actually is something malicious going on, take further steps.
Often pilots mute their radio either accidentally or because they need a bit of quiet and forget about it, things malfunction or pilots mess up something else (typo while picking the frequency etc).
In any case, if fighters are scrambled, they need to get to the offending aircraft asap. And as police and emergency services are allowed to go waaay above the speed limit they are allowed to go supersonic. They will cause a sonic boom and people freak out because they tend to ignore the fact that our military exists unless it's right under their nose or, in this case, right above their roofs.
From what my dad told me, back when we had more airforce bases of our own and lots of British and American bases, supersonic activities were common and everybody was familiar with the sound. Now, with reduced numbers of foreign forces and considerably downsized numbers of our own power people don't know what our own troops can do, how their stuff sounds and they apparently don't bother to look out the window after a big bang to see (and hear) the pretty obvious culprit pair of Eurofighter zooming off (just started to rebuild numbers and bases as politicians realized that the world is in fact not all sunshin and daisies Disneyland).
People call police, police call a number of the public relations guy located at a flight coordinations office, they get the obligatory 'yep, it's us again' or 'yea... Looks like some American/British miscalculated speed and wind...' and police can announce that everything is OK. From what my father told me, it's always fun to see the locations of the calling police departments matching up with the path the fighters took. Lol. *
But seriously... Sonic booms are loud but they don't sound like a explosion or a crash. It's a pretty unique sound that distinctively comes from above...
Apparently people also called panicking about a group of military helicopters once... I don't think if they thought we just teleport equipment if units need to go to another base for training but apparently these people rather assumed a war started than that these choppers are just traveling to another base...
Luckily the people were I currently live are used to the US army Blackhawks landing at the local hospital regularly for training purposes and because the next big US army base drops of patients that the US army hospital can treat themselves at this university medical center. Sometimes they come in groups of four or five, they always make a circle above the city center with its cathedral and old town... Guess they are doing a little bit of sightseeing lol.
*(my father is a senior master sergent in the airforce and he worked a flight coordinators position for quite a while. The public relations guy is only in during the week and during daytime. On weekends, during the night and on holidays said sergent rank 24/7 position mainly in flight coordination answered these calls by police and almost everything relating calls from airforce bases that needed to be forwarded to higher-ups and sometimes even all the way up to the ministry of defense. Luckily it's a large open plan office with my dad's desk (flight coordinating) being in a adjacent office to the main room that housed the unit that does airspace surveillance so one can look up all ongoing flights and scrambled fighters and even past flights within seconds.)
I would immediately call the cops or a towing company on the OP in the last story. There's simply no way it's legal to block the streets like that, it's a HUGE safety risk.
Wait for an emergency. First responders will move those vehicles by any means necessary.
You are absolutely right, it is called double parking and is ticket able.
NEVER BUY A HOUSE IN AN HOA!
"Yes, I would like to buy a house. Could I get some masochism with that?"
So you're absolutely correct about brexit. It was, single-handedly, the dumbest move that England has made in a long time. Basically, England was, before brexit, a part of the European Union and therefore all of the British citizens could freely travel to any other member of the European Union which consisted of a dozenish countries. It also meant no import export taxes, and various other legitimately amazing benefits that every country in the European Union benefited from. The thing is, when England decided to figure out if their population was in favor of this, they decide to hold a national vote. All of the old people who are going to die in the next 10 years decided to vote in favor of leaving the European Union because they're stupid and dying. A majority, if not damn near all of them, voted to leave and there are more old people than young people in England who vote. On top of that, they didn't even have a majority of people in the country voting. They looked at the polls versus their census and a lot of people, easily 40% of the country, didn't vote

About your comment on the first story: we have a new manager at my place of work. All of a sudden, the younger staff isn't doing their job well, meaning the more experienced ones have to fix their mistakes the day after. The new manager is the one who works evenings with the younger ones most. Yet none of the other managers seem to really do something about how horrible of a manager our new manager is. Hate working with him.
6:30
Right?
We got a new boss at work back in like April, I think. The big people have described her work as "hitting it out of the park," but all I can ask is wtf are they even talking about? The only thing she's done is get rid of all our set schedules, so now our days of work and days off are inconsistent. She's in charge of 3 locations, and in our location we've had enormous turnover ever since she took over.
So, what is she even doing? Pissing off her employees and driving them to find employment at our competitors.
And they took away a whole day of work from me. After talking to HR, the magical solution they came up with was "update your boss of your availability". Since I've done that, I've lost ANOTHER entire day of work. So, they're going to lose me too.
Wtf is with places supporting terrible bosses?
How many times In malicious compliance does this happen?
1) old good manager retires
2) new terrible manager is brought in
3) new terrible manager fires dose something stupid that pisses off everyone
4) lot of people quit
5) new manager gets fired
On that last story, would you be barred from having a milipede? Would they consider a spider "pushing it"? Also hoas generally only have the power to delegate the front yards appearance. There are other things like they can make you take down things like posters if you put them in the windows to intentionally affect the forward appearance of the property even if they are in the house but some states will take your side in these cases. It pretty funny actually, as long as you follow all state regulations and get proper permits you can even put HUGE structures in your backyard and most jurisdictions will not force you to take it down. Also, you 100% can trespass your hoa memebers from your property requiring them to stay on the sidewalks while "investigating" violations of rules. For the most part the only part of your homes appearance they can control legally are parts where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy (eg they cant go onto your property and take pictures over a wall because it isnt visible from the street. They will try but an hour or two of a decent lawers time will shoo them away. Hell, they will probably back off from a public defender xD
Last story, that HOA thing... they might have no authority to stop people from parking on the street, but aren't there traffic laws that rule out parking if the car is blocking the street? It'd be one single call to authorities where I live and your car would be towed to your expenses within an hour max.
Story 5: Gotta love vague rules.
its all about that control over people.
When management say no Overtime, they actually want you to work over time, just without the over time pay
They want you to do exactly as OP did and work through lunch to get it done on your time. Don't do that and you aren't a 'team player.' Make them right you up for not working without pay, that might come in handy later...
6:30 At the store I work at there was a manager that had lost the store over 100 employees in just 6 months of working there, and not only that she listed every single one as ineligible for rehire. She went on racist tirades on employees and customers, and the store’s reputation so bad that we still get calls and complaints about her to this day. But instead of firing her corporate moved her to the company’s best store.
The Peter Principle- People rise to their level of incompetence, then stay there because the organization doesn't want them to move to a more responsible position where they would be REALLY incompetent.
last story...I once had to go to a client's house who lived in a HOA. The rule for this HOA was NO VECHILES over 10 years old allowed in the community. They had a parking lot outside the gated community for older cars and you were to be shyttled to the person's house you were visiting. Well, this client only owned one car and his wife was out shiopping. And the shuttle service was down for maintenance. The client expected me to WALK over two miles to their hour. I told them not happening. They then said to wait and he would call his wife. I said fine but I'm starting the clock on my hourly rate. He said fine. FIVE HOURS LATER. the wife finally showed up, took me to the house. I fixed the computer problem he was having. 15 minutes later. I was ready to leave and I handed him the invoice for $525. He lost it saying he wasnt paying it for 15 minutes of work. I said it was 15 minutes of work, 5 hours of waiting and I had his VOICE recorded sayin fine when I told him I was starting the clock. The wife told him to just pay the bill. She apoligized as she took me back to my car, saying she never wanted to move thier in the first place because of that stupid car rule.
BREXIT: Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) voted a few years ago whether to leave the EU. Many experts warned that their leaving would have dire market consequences, but the way the discussion was pitched basically put globalism against nationality and it turned populist really fast. One main aspect also included the contribution of refugees entering the EU and how GB would be "forced" to accept their share (I don't remeber the exact numbers, but I believe theirs would have increased from a few hundreds to a few thousand. Sounds much, but it's a laugh comparable to other european countries). The majority voted for leaving the Union, so the political and financial discussions began and were finalized in the beginning of 2020.
As of now, their market has (nearly?) crashed, because many international companies have moved their production elsewhere. Additionally, within the EU traffic works rather effortlessly, because borders are lessened between EU countries (EU =/= all of Europe). So now that GB left the EU, the borders have been altered and it's more difficult to import/export goods between GB and EU.
Hope that clarified things and isn't just me indulging my rambling.
I wonder if that meteor was the one from 2017; that one was seen across most of the U.S. It didn't go to Vegas though, it landed in Lake Michigan. Some bits may have been recovered near Green Bay, but I heard nothing further.
No Overtime is a prime example of "Don't step over dollars for pennies."
Hey, I just had my manager leave cause we went from 30 employees to 6 in about 2 to 3 months of her coming on, including all full time staff leaving except for me and my direct associate under me, all of my peer department managers quit with less than 2 weeks notice. Sadly, they didn't fire her but she did write our reviews. My new boss is great, but he had to give me her review and from the get go, he's like "what? Why did she write this? I've been here 3 weeks and there's never been 1 time you've not been great with customers." Thankfully he said he's going to roll up to corporate to change this rating.
Story 3: Was it McDonald’s? I’m a manager at a restaurant, and we recently had a cashless payment outage that similarly aligns with that weekend schedule. Many restaurants were only accepting cash or faced very long delays while the cashless readers loaded or canceled payments.
If so… it would’ve cost thousands in revenue for restaurants everywhere. All for some stupid “cost saving” measures.
Over 20 years ago, I worked at a music club run by a d-bag who thought he was the coolest guy ever. He was cheap as Scrooge, dumb as a box of hair, and sleazy as a crooked used car salesman. He used to pay some employees in fake money with the club's logo on the front, which really torqued us all off, as we weren't able to use his Monopoly money to pay sitters, buy groceries, or anything else. We could only use them in the bar for drinks at a one-to-one dollar basis. One day I asked him when I was going to actually get paid, and he said, "Don't you get Club Bucks? Use them and leave me alone."
Cue my malicious compliance.
I was a *heavy* drinker at the time, big guy with a genetic predilection towards alcohol tolerance and a liver that must have come from Superman. I walked into the bar one night when I was off, handed over $30 to the bartender (sweet lady everybody absolutely loved) and said, "Here's your tips for the night, from me." She thanked me since I basically paid for her babysitter. Then I pulled out a wad of the Club Bucks larger than my fist and smiled like a pirate. She smiled back and laughed as she asked me what I wanted. I burned through every single one of those Club Bucks that night, mostly buying drinks for myself, but I also bought drinks for others, just to make certain I spent everything. In all, the bar was out well over $300 from handing out drinks paid for with the Club Bucks. The owner saw me most of the way through the night, realized I was buying everything with the funny money, and he got seriously mad. After he grilled me and asked why I was doing this, I said, "You told me to use the Club Bucks you gave me, so here I am."
After that, I was always paid in cash.
Story 4: As a British "person" myself, I too don't understand why people Brexit
too many idiots voted
If Scotland go independent believe me I will be moving to Scotland to un-brexit.

Same with voting Tory.
From what I've heard/read some of it was xenophobia/racism. And some others decided to vote "leave" as some sort of "f*** you" to authorities or something. Hopefully, people will have learned to treat their votes seriously.
I had a factory job once with mandatory overtime, namely weekends. I refused to comply at first, I had a baby at home I wanted to spend time with. Then they threatened to write me up about 6 months later, so I started going, but doing the bare minimum. During normal hours, I worked hard, so for me to slack was very unusual. Then started the panic attacks, hospitalizations, and eventually they ended up paying unemployment to me, all because they thought it was a good idea to coerce me to work 6-7 days per week (56ish hours). They knew when I took the job that I had anxiety and depression, but maybe they didn't realize not having time off to do more than sleep, eat, and repeat would make it worse. *Note: I had never had a panic attack before that, so had no idea what was going on when I couldn't stop crying when my supervisor tried to talk to me. He wasn't yelling or saying anything mean, and he was as shocked as I was by my crying. He was just trying to ask me what had happened between me and a line lead who wasn't my line lead. He gave up and sent me to the nurse, who had me lay down until the end of the shift. I went to my doctor, who sent me to a voluntary psych hospital. Things just spiraled from there for years. I am a little better now, no panic attacks in a few years, but I do get overwhelmed in large groups of strangers or by the idea of a stranger coming into my home.
In the second story something happened to me. Just in the "moving really slowly" part, an ad appeared, so it was even funnier!
"Moving... Really... *Wild ad appears* ... Slowly..."
perfect timing!
Dabney: "Your manager leaves and you bring in your new manager, and within months of bringing in this new manager, you go from 20 employees to seven, what kind of idiot is like, "Well, keep up the good work new manager! I'm sure you're doing GREAT job!" Wouldn't you just immediately fire the new manager and just step in as the manager yourself until ou got things fixed?"
Not if the new manager was passionately hugging someone higher up. This exact thing happened at a Thrift Store I used to work at. New manager, whose only experience was at a Starbucks. She came in, started making insanely stupid decisions, fired an employee (who had to be replaced by FIVE new people to match the workload he handled), destroyed employee morale, caused the ENTIRE staff except for two or three people to quit, jacked up prices to the point where we lost half our customer base, and threw literal screaming tantrums on the floor in front of customers and staff alike. The store hemorrhaged employees, she replaced them with 18-year-old seasonal workers and the store is chronically understaffed year round because the college graduates quit for greener pastures the instant another opportunity arises OR the summer season is over. She was reported multiple times and the only response we ever got was "I know SOME of you have problems with the new manager, but we hired her for a reason and she will remain the store manager." We know she's got an in with that higher-up, though we don't have proof. I resigned because she started workplace bullying and the higher-up adamantly refused to acknowledge it, and simply told me to my face that it wasn't workplace bullying. (she threw another screaming fit because I, a 5'2" woman, was not physically capable of moving the gutter that had ripped off the roof and fallen into the parking lot while caked in hundreds of pounds of ice.)
I'm sorry, OP... class C licenses DO exist.
They're required to drive a vehicle to transport 16 or more passengers in my state. Including the driver.
But I don't see why an HOA specifically mentions "Hey, you can't have more than one party bus parked in your driveway"?
Story #2: I'm going through a similar scenario right now with a new manager. Long story short: the manager has ridiculed/berated the good leadership until they transferred out or quit, he's hired-on incompetent shift-leads that he knows personally (favoritism much?), and has blockaded internal promotion within the store other than his own dedicated lackeys. He currently has an investigation going on him and I've been documenting further incidents as well. When the last good-leader left, we had a mass exodus of workers from multiple shifts. No ending to this yet, but I am still watching, waiting, and recording as per one-party-consent laws allow.
Second story : the new "manager " isn't even really at fault here it's who hired her is the one really at fault.. wtf were they thinking??
Ah see that's where you're wrong. Think about it, you only learn so much from interviewing a person and it's illegal for references to bad mouth you as it can be seen as basically targeting a person preventing them from finding employment. You only learn how useless a manager/worker is after some time on the job
@@Aa_ron the one who hired it has to take some accountability for it being such a F up..
@@thetruth1816 I agree completely but that's in an ideal world but in a structured management system like that the higher up the ladder you go the less responsibility taken.

One of the things Tim & Michael drilled into our heads is if someone is calling abt checking work history, the only things yo say are length of service, date they left. The critical thing in this is that if you're careless with wording it might cause legal issues. So the key thing is how you say the innocuous stuff you say. Bc tone of voice can be very telling.
My parents live within an HOA which sucks, there are people who regularly drive around & take pictures then send emails to people about the stupidest things like they weren't a fan of where my dad placed the trash bins. There's also a two pet limit which I can see to prevent people from breeding, that's fine but it's like, not everyone can abide by that. Thankfully, that's the one rule they don't go too hard on, this is a dog loving neighborhood, almost everyone has a dog. My family has an elderly cat, use to have four cats but by the time they moved here, there was one left & they're waiting for him to pass before getting a new pet since he's 19 years old, it would be easier on him. There's already a lot of craziness that happens here since the majority of my family has dogs & brings them over sometimes. My sister's boyfriend has a service dog & my sister has a dog that use to belong to our aunt before she passed, they were very close so she took her dog after she died. We've had both dogs over & other family's dogs here at the same time as well as the neighbor's dog coming over to play, they have an adorable dachshund that they got as a puppy right around the time they moved in, he came over to play with the dogs a lot once he was vaccinated to get him introduced to other dogs at a young age. I did worry for a bit that my parents would get chewed out by the HOA for being dog central but so far, so good. I rent a loft above their house so I kinda have to deal with them too, that is until I can afford to live somewhere else, I just choose here because rent is cheap & I don't like being apart from my kitty.

The first story got me laughing. I would have given everything to be there at the time.
3500 feet is a MASSIVE underestimate. Meteors decelerate rapidly as they plunge deeper into the atmosphere, and even those that survive to the ground stop glowing at a height of about 15-20 km, or 48,000-63,000 feet, well above the typical airliner cruising altitude of 37,000 feet.
You might be able to get the UFO's occupants on a parking violation if they land, but since they're flying the speed limits are different.
that second story is JUST LIKE what happened to my mom near the start of the pandemic. a few years prior, the manager for her department retired and a new one from within the unit was picked. not even half a year later, 3 people who had worked there for at least 20 years up and quit. and my mom was under so much stress because her new supervisor was down right bullying her with shit that just she could get away with. thankfully though, a position opened up within a different department with a different superviser and my mom applied for it. she got the job, at the cost of a significant paycut, but she said it was far worth it to get this new boss, cus she's actually a nice person, and they've been getting along great ever since. throughout the pandemic though, her old boss's unit has had such a high turnout (i think that's the term) rate that it's a surprise she still has her job. probably helps that she brown noses the county director though, which is my moms bosses boss. because it sure isn't her managerial skills that's keeping her in her position XD
also, god HOAs are the stupidest thing in existance 🤣🤣
Story 4: The reasons for Brexit are subject to a lot of argument. My view is that it was caused by a very well-funded decade-long propaganda campaign. But the reasons for not undoing Brexit are simple and twofold: People don't like to admit that they were wrong; and Europe is fed up with dealing with the UK's b*llsh*t. IE: We won't ask to come back, and the EU won't take us back even if we asked. (And the one-word snappy title is "Rejoin", but "Breeeeentry" does a better job of capturing the stupidity of the whole saga IMO.)
I guess it will take AT LEAST one generation for the EU to ... forget/ive the shitshow that is (because it's still happening like a slow motion train wreck) brexit... and given that in some countries, for an applicant the size of the UK it is mandatory to ask the peoples, that peoples have an even longer memory and that one of those countries is France that UK politicians in charge and the press are shiting on daily, let's say it will be an hard sell, indeed
5th story: To screw with your entire neighborhood so you can have an obscene number of cars on your property is an asshole move. If your street was the main way to get in and out of the neighborhood, blocking the street could easily slow down medical services long enough for someone to die.
3/5 butholes
For the 2nd story: I'm pretty sure when they said 'gifted' they were transferred to that store. For some wack-ass reason, some employees cannot be fired, so they end up getting transferred until they find a place that they cannot stand and quit on their own, as they 're just garbage people, but all within the rules.
So another store was finally screaming in happiness that "Jean" finally left. . . cursing that store with their presence.
4th Story: ... RSlash... dude... ... "Why do people Brexit and can't Unbrexit?" ... ... dude. I don't... I don't have words. . Why doesn't the US just S. That's the level of confusion I'm at right now.

HOA "Pet Legs" rule at the end... Dogs and cats etc do not have four legs. It's a common misconception, perhaps caused by them walking on all four limbs, but those front limbs are arms and hands, not legs and feet. So if anybody else is out there with a "Pet Legs limit", you are likely able to have more pets than you - and the HOA board - thinks.
A quick lesson on Brexit.
Brexit happened due to many reasons, it sounds like a mistake, but there is more to it.
Now the reasons for BREXIT is simple:
1: They had a migrant problem, mostly assylum seekers. They were getting full and couldn't handle the current migrants. They told the EU they couldn't take more, but the EU went: "YOU HAVE TO!"
Thus one reason was to keep them out. This problem still presists within the EU to this day with other countries (including mine where assylum seekers are dieing in camps outside of centers cause we don't have room or budget to take em in)
2: EU regulations were getting in the way of certain developments. This happens in other EU countries too, but due to the EU regulating things, Brittian had to stick to it.
Such as the infamous COPPA they wanted to put in. Now imagine other regulations that is impeding some of your business... you want to get out of it.
3: Having to pay debts for countries that are doing far worst then you.
Greece was going bankrupt and EU countries bailed them out twice with BILLIONS OF EUROS. They are still bankrupt to this day, can't reform some of their social programs/retirement age since then the workers go on strike... and are bleeding money... meanwhile well off countries like Brittian lost alot of money for their social programs... Including their "Universal Healthcare"
Since more countries are needing bailing out... they didn't want to keep paying the EU for this.
4: They are known for being solidarity for ages.. thus they wanted that back.. more a pride thing if anything.
In short alot of people were sick of the EU telling them what to do, losing money due to the EU and such. They wanted out....thus they voted and went out.
Wich costed them billions of POUNDS due to fines and fees.
And they lost borderless transport and gained VISAs and such. Wich they wanted.. but it hurt them in the long run due to their trade deal being gone.
They can't free trade with the EU anymore...it costs import and such, but... now they can trade with other countries outside of the EU much easier and under their own rules.
The gouverment knew it would hurt them IMMIDENTLY but.. in the long run... they would be able to control their country better and get more money back.
THATS THE PLAN OF IT OF COURSE!
The pay off is yet to be seen.
So now you know why they did it... (or reasons given) what do you think of Brexit?
Note this isn't 100% accurate and you SHOULD do your own research, but these are the 4 points I personally believe they did.
Especially in 1-3 are problems in other EU countries like my own and are reasons for my country to leave the EU.
Brexit can be neatly summed up as: Old people thought EU = Bad/Germany, Britain still Empire and thus EU will buckle to Britain, they litteraly said they could just make an economic deal with Berlin, but due to to the EU single amrket those deals are made by the EU. That did all not happen, the EU stood it's ground and now Britain is stuck with being a third country, except that there are no treaties that ease anything, because the goverment of Boris Johnson thought that they, the Brits could strongarm the EU into concessions.
Now British citizens have to endure Brexit and rejoining will not be easy, since the EU is rightly pissed at the high and mighty attitude of the British government, so the UK would loose many of it previous exceptions. And btw: Brexit might kill the United part of the UK, Northern Ireland got special treatment to prevent violence on the island of Ireland and is thus thriving and Scotland isn't to happy about having to suffer with the British due to them wanting out. NI and Scotland vote Remain, Wales and England votes Leave, except London, which voted Remain aswell.
But mainland Europe has other problems than Brexit, that is not really a thing to be talked about anymore, it happend, be done with it. Only in the UK people are still talking about it, since they got the short straw.
Man has 28 snakes just chilling in his house, ready to meet the next HOA member that has the nads to ring his doorbell.
As I understand it "Brexit" is slang for the decision to leave the European Union. It was put to a vote of the British people, while many people voted to leave as a lark, and surprise! it passed. I believe they are still trying to negotiate with the EU on how best to exit.
It wasn't a "Lark" leaving the EU was the best outcome.
I wouldn't say brexit is slang but it's what its called, the reason Brexit passed was because a lot of people in Britain at the time was scared about immagrants being passed over to us because being part of the EU when immagrants escape there County due to war or for better life the EU would try and spread them out into diffrent country's so no country was getting this wave of people pushed onto them however (I don't know if its only this country or if there was others this is the only one I see evidence on) France would ship these people out over to the UK when these people got to our side they were now considered our problem so we helped as best we could supporting them with shelter and jobs with which then lead into British people crying because " there taking are jobs and homes that shouldn't be for them they should be for us!!* (please read that in the entitled parents voice) however even after leaving brexit which was supposed to stop it France was still passing immagrants over to us(there was a video that went viral which should French police who was supposed to be guarding the sea between country's to stop people taking boats over instead watching and sometimes helping them getting across they put loads of people on a inflatable raft and pushed them out they even smiled and waved at the cameras) a lot of people did not wont to leave if i remember correctly it was a close vote it wasn't a lark it was a current issue that got blown way out of proportion and yes we have left but we're still argueing on some of the problems leaving like truck and workers ect i remember when brexit was finally passed France closed over the tunnel to fence and Britain and ques and ques of trucks was trapped, shops aisles we're empty for a long time, if there was another vote im sure Britain would end brexit and try to rejoin, I hope this cleared some things up
@@________________Aprilfools63__ We only get snippets over here and some broadcasts implied some voters did it out on a lark, while not really believing it would pass. I know it means British Exit but wanted to keep things as brief as possible.
@@robertiams4198 yeah i get that i all good mainly just wanted to clearify that it wasn't a lark hope you have a good day
@@pmtrans I don't rlly thi k it was for the best i think were getting more problems now then in the eu
Brexit is the dumbest idea ever, I got mocked when I said im voting to remain because unlike in the 70s we rely on the EU for nearly everything, I got told I was thick etc and yet look at us now, also we can't just undo it as we basically stuck two fingers up at the EU and we would have to pay more money we still can't afford to beg to be joined back and those in charge won't admit they messed up and lied.
Just ask them for an example of something Brexit has ACTUALLY done for them so far, they'll leave you alone pretty sharpish
@@river-weav3r oh trust me I have, im mixed race and they say it gets rid of dem foreigners, even though im British born I get guys telling me to go back to where I was born, I like those cos I get to be sarcastic 😆
Canada relies on the US for nearly everything and that's part of what got us into Iraq.
An addendum to another comment I see explaining what Brexit is...
As I understand it, the reason they left is because they would have to pay more fees, and for some reason their parliament is ADAMANT about not paying membership fees apparently, because paying for services rendered is an unheard of concept to politicians. Wouldn't wanna be one of their maids!
So that's why no "Bre-entry." Stubborn politicians. The vote to brexit was held like 3 times anyway, and only passed because a bunch of old people voted for it because they're curmudgeonly and the opposite of wise. People like that are the reason climate change, housing shortages and all the issues modern teens face trying to become adults exist. "Just get a job and go buy a house, that's what I did back in 1975 when I turned 18 and got kicked out of my old place," says the 70+-year-old that contributed to jacking up inflation, owns 5 properties in this city alone that they rent like a miser at an extortionate rate, and drives a 1993 Jeep 4-door or Hummer that gets like 12 mpg.
Story 2: I think businesses who refuse to promote from within deserve to fail. If you can't develop your staff, you're a bad business owner and you need to take some classes. Otherwise, you'll never employ someone for more than two years. Personally, my greed would NOT be worth the absolute hassle of rebuilding my entire staff every couple of years.
I'm not sure an HOa can regulate the inside of your house....
In fact, I'm quite sure they can't
The meteor's 1500mi/h speeding is a bit of an understatement. Meteors enter dark flight (the point where they stop glowing) at 2km a second(1.24mi), so it would have been going above 7200km/h(4474mi/h). How ever, the minimum speed they enter the atmosphere at is 12km a second (7.46mi), so it would have been travelling at over 43200km/h (26843.2mi) at it's fastest
About the No Overtime story, if this happened October 4 (I think) I was working at my local grocery store when this happened, it affected the entire area. No matter what we did the system just wouldn’t let the cards go through “Not Applicable” it said (or something along those lines). Our productivity was cut down by, like, half and we had to work through a number of customer interactions where the payment would be marked as Pending in the bank app yet the transaction had yet to go through our system and the customer was convinced that they had paid.
I don’t blame anyone, I’m just not fully awake yet to but my thoughts in order so I’m word vomiting here.
👍
the first story makes me think of how happy i am to have my job. it’s a popular fast food chain that is notorious for being understaffed and having a high turnover rate. it’s the only chain store in my town so it’s always ridiculously busy and i complain about the shitty management in front of said management and i even told FU to a karen who was treating my underage coworker like absolute garbage. i haven’t received so much as a slap on the wrist. i even quit and they begged for me back. i have to stay because my back up job fucked me over and it is the only comparable place around that gives me hours and pays a reasonable amount. but even tho the store is run poorly and i hate the job sometimes, i am lucky to be able to get small revenges on customers who piss me off like adding too much of a product to their order when they are rude and unreasonable because i know the management is so desperate for competent people and because i’m a fast, efficient employee, they will keep me and keep giving raises. i’m sorry for OP i’m the first story because shitty management is one thing, but it’s even worse when they micromanage everything and give you poor reviews for quality performance. i shit talk the customers with my GM and he is great with that. yes the store went to shit when he went on vacation because the assistant manager was left to run it and he is a lazy piece of shit and my GM won’t do anything and the district manager doesn’t give a shit either, but in the end, i am grateful i can get away with what i can. lol this comment is to the void but im happy i said it
Regarding Brexit, Here's the simple explanation: The EU is a giant tangle of trade deals and other treaties between countries. Think NAFTA plus the way Canadians and Americans used to be able to cross the border without passports, then multiply it by a hundred. In 2016, for reasons that mostly come down to "Britain used to have an Empire so we don't want to be treated as equals," the older generation pushed through a referendum to take Britain out of the EU. That's Brexit. Britain exiting the EU.
The result is that for the first time in 50 years, Britain is completely on their own in terms of making trade deals, passing regulations, and all other international interactions. They no longer get the benefit of working together with the rest of Europe to get the best deal possible. Moreover, all the old deals and regulations are instantly called into question, because they were all EU rules. So Britain either has to redo everything or they have to just copy-paste EU rules which pisses off the people who voted for Brexit.
To make it all worse, the people who pushed through Brexit in the first place actively lied to the public to get votes and the whole thing has turned into a giant disaster, but it has progressed too far to stop. Even if they could "unBrexit," they've burned so many political bridges it probably isn't possible to stop at this point.
I LOVE rslash. I listen all the time. BUT please do more choosing beggars and entitled parents! I may be alone on this, but malicious compliance and the revenge ones are my least favorite, and those seem to be the ones you do the most.
TL:DR Regarding the fourth story, the EU is a customs union as well, since the UK left they aren't a part of it anymore. That's one reason for the extra paperwork.
The EU is an international supranational union, where the member states have relinquished some of their legislative powers in certain legal domains to the EU Bodies (that are composed of all the member states, all of them elected). Basically the goal is unity, one internal market, legislation that is almost the same across the member states, liberty of movement of goods and people, liberty of establishment, all the good stuff anyways. Member states can join and they can leave. When they leave, given that they are part of the internal economy, well, it's like a divorce, they have to separate the legal ties they have. In the UK's case they did it because people were led to believe that the UK was giving too much money to the EU and not getting enough back. So they divorced the EU and kinda got screwed in the process since they were, in comparison, the weaker party (also because it took them a long ass time to actually leave after the vote).
FYI: A class C vehicle is mostly known as the small motorhome/RVs. It's funny that that HOA only banned the class C, because a class B (medium sized) and class A (large sized) take more room.
Thanks for the stories rslash. Exactly. If things go from really good to really bad, why would you blame people who've worked there a while and not the new manager? Will never understand. Have a good Sunday
I just had an idea... why don't higher ups at companies do surprise inspections where they directly ask all employees whether the new manager should be fired?... would save a TON of money for an extremely small amount of work
@RSlash Brexit is simply when Britian left the European Union.
Without getting too complicated the EU (European Union) is a collection of agreements which makes ask the European countries act similar to how the US and states do regarding travel, trade etc. It also issued it's own currency that basically supercedes the other countries currencies and everyone in the EU trades in Euros instead of Frank's and all the countries individual currencies.
By Britian leaving they are treated as an independent country. Almost imagine if Texas became it's own country and separate from the US. And now imagine all the ramifications of that. I think that helps paint a good idea of how complicated it was and you can get an idea of the good and bad. Mainly they have more autonomy and aren't as tightly tied to the leaders of the EU. They also keep their currency valuable outside of Britian and can have more control with the downsides mainly in exterior trade and travel is pretty different and messed up.
I hope that helps clear it up!
Brexit in simple terms was a decision made by the public to no longer be apart of the European government, this means that the UK government doesn't have to follow EU laws, UK gains a larger EEZ and a few others however it also gains more restrictions. UK citizens now can't stay in Europe areas for more than 90 days without having a visa, if you want to trade between England and Spain u need a license (this is an example) I believe, this also applies to European nationals. So one of the problems in UK is a lot of its labour force has evaporated, truck drivers, warehouse staff, farm workers, factory workers, Airport staff and many more because of covid. As during covid many workers decided to just stay because of the amount of paper work needed to just go to England for little pay and people being racist to you. So now the UK have to try getting people to do those jobs, however because no-one wants the pay the industry offers compared to just being unemployed or living off benefits as you don't need to work and still get paid.
That last bit sounds like an incentive to animal cruelty - if anyone in the HOA removes a pet's limb(s), they could end up in court, or at least in the news.
Really loved how he used that audio filter for the first story
Story 3 , the company is definitely Kroger/ fred meyers.
"No Overtime" story sounds like Bass Pro Shops, post Cabela's acquisition.
Your HOA can't stop you from having pets.
An infinite amount of snakes!!! XD XD I would love to see a member of that HOA walk into a house and it's like filled with so many snakes that they're covering the floor completely!! When they would as the homeowner what's with all the snakes, he would tell them "well, you said only 8 pet legs in our home and since snakes don't have any legs, that means I could have as many snakes as I want". I would love to see the horrified expression on that person's face when they walk out of the house. Perhaps it would be time to reevaluate the rules ;P
My favourite book series is about an FBI agent and I'm trying to imagine how she and her partner would react to being given this case.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall for story 3 when it makes it to the CEO that the no OT policy cost them a ton of money. should be an immediate reprimand and possible fired on the spot for incompetency. I'd also permanently dock pay and remove bonuses.
That last guy sounds like a menace to the neighborhood. He needs to get a garage somewhere for those cars.
That last point about the "8 pet legs". Fish also wouldn't count! Run a damn fish breeding company from your house and the HOA can't do shit about it. XD
Dont mess with dispatchers, they help keep everything moving in a police department, and unfortunately, a lot of their work goes unappreciated. My mom and grandma both worked as dispatchers for years and its really unfortunate that people don't appreciate them. Dispatchers are like the nurses of the police world, while they dont respond directly to things they are still the ones who take the calls, send out the appropriate response, and so much more. Sadly, this means also getting the calls where people do not make it for one reason or another, and that takes a toll on them. So please, appreciate the work dispatchers do, they work hard to keep things going and calls responded to in the fastest most appropriate way possible. Its a draining job that takes a lot of effort that goes unappreciated by police and the public.

rSlash, Brexit was Britain exiting the European Union. There were a number of reasons for this (I'm American btw), but one of the bigger ones was monetary. The countries doing well financially were essentially bankrolling other countries that were failing financially and that refused to take the required steps to get their finances under control. In other words, countries like Great Britain were being bled dry paying for other's mistakes. There were other problems, of course as well as some benefits. The majority of people in Britain decided that the cons of staying outweighed the pros and left. While I think the European Union is a good idea in general, they did not form a union that actually REQUIRED the various countries involved to commit to unified policies in several key areas. Will it last? Only time will tell, but several of the countries involved have opposing policies and views on where it should head. Great Britain disagreed and chose not to be dragged in a direction it did not wish to go. Totally giving up sovereignty to be part of a union is a difficult choice to make, especially if you don't agree with where that may take you. It's similar to the reasons why Puerto Rico has remained a territory rather than becoming a state or going completely independent.
That first story made me fucking giggle
For the second story. If companies had that much logic, my workplace would've fired half their management team, since they'd look at the data and see that a lot of people left around the same time that Manager x is there. They never confront the manager, the only way to get the manager on radar of HR is to file a complaint about said manager, but that's a coin toss to see if it works.
For the second story, that sounds kinda like what happened at my old job. First manager I had there got fired (nice guy, but slow on his paperwork and had the assistant manager do things for him), second one didn't last a year and got fired (she was a b¡tch on wheels, but at the same time would stand by you when push came to shove), the third one is STILL there now and literally had driven away all of the OGs that were there. Most have gone to the competition that's like just around the corner from my last job. Her turnaround rate is ASTRONOMICALLY horrible, basically NO ONE works there now, and yet the District Manager hasn't fired her yet and that dumb dumb still has his job as well 🙄
I'd like to hear the HOA justify the pet maximum to '8 legs."

Honestly, that's adorable . . .
-Jean- -Jan- -Jean- whatever. Happened to a friend of mine in... not quite IT, but something computer related, forgot what. He was aces for something like 7yrs under his old boss (literally old, retired), and they got some new assclown who wanted to flex all his new authoritah. Started finding fault with everyone and everything, but friend was singled out for whatever reason, probably for his give nor take any fcuks attitude. In 3mos or so, he got written up for various fault, then another write-up a month later, and it was made clear to him that his job was on the line, and he was brought into a meeting with high-up management (his job was that critical) to find out the reasons why.
He listened to their grexing and all the Official Effluvium that was tossed his way, and it seemed they were going to side with Assclown, until he asked them if they were finished. They were a bit stunned. He then took printouts of alllllllllll his prior reviews while he worked there, laid them out nicely on the head honcho's desk, then said quite simply, "I was aces for all these years under Niceguy's tutelage, and now under Assclown's reign, I'm suddenly Public Enemy #1? I don't think the problem's with me, but with Assclown. And if you don't believe me, ask *anyone* else in our department.".
Amazingly, no, *shockingly,* they did exactly that. Every person in the department said the same thing, that Niceguy was helpful, supportive, we all worked *very* well for and under him, but Assclown is, well, an assclown.
Assclown was "laterally transferred" elsewhere and they promoted from within to fill the void, and all was happy in Mudville.
I live in a small city and the police department out here has always been required to respond to all calls. They'll get called out for some stupid stuff but it hasn't been a huge deal for them as far as I know
