The amount of times a person called out for bereavement this year is absurd, especially with COVID. It got so bad that we had to start asking for the deceased' name, their relation to them (no in-laws outside of immediate family) funeral details, etc. because people were taking off 2-3 days because their wife's cousin died, like c'mon. Would your company actually follow up with contacting the funeral homes if they listed one?

I know you're probably kidding, but it's a possibility. People at my job use their vacation very quickly, so all of a sudden when they need a couple days off their cousin died. Like, dude that's your 4 cousin this year. We have 27 employees on site, and they've collectively used 49 bereavement days. That's mostly the same 4-5 guys.

If I were an employee and my employer were asking for the details of my loved ones funeral, if it was legit, I’d be pissed that they’d be willing to pry. But also given the circumstances, if I were bullshitting and they wanted to know that, I’d probably think twice about calling out. Sounds like your company is wack tbh.

What’s the deal with people who work only 10-15 hours a week constantly giving their shifts away and then complaining they’re broke/they aren’t getting scheduled enough.

Can definitely be described as wack, but also we have lenient management who allow things to get to this point. Clear rules should've been laid out at the jump, and they just weren't now both sides pay the price.

Just because they're bereaved doesn't make them sap.

I think the fact that I hate most people I have to spend any amount of time with says more about me than anything
I’ve extended “no sport no religion no politics” rule to my work interactions as well.
But if we’re gonna be specific I hate people who need some sort of drama and try to bring you into it Real fuckin hard-rocker behaviour

The guy that always says shit like “having fun yet?”, “another day in paradise!”, “just living the dream” 🙄 That’s me but I’m also a carpenter and work with fucking chuds, alcoholics, country folk and dads. -the guy who drives 50miles to work in his lifted 2020 pick up truck then complains about gas or liberals or POC or just the city in general. Leave we don’t want you here. - the guy who spits dip on the floor with drywall dust so it just turns into a gross as ball of dough - the guy who brings a sizer of mt dew bottles but only drinks 2/3 of each one then just leaves them around -I don’t care that you have to take a shit - I don’t care if you fucked your wife last night I could go on forever

A guy I managed got sacked last year for asking a teacher if he liked to fuck kids. Not the smartest thing to do over the phone when all of your phone calls are automatically recorded.
The weird thing is this wasn’t some dumb 18 year old, he was a middle aged family man who’d worked for the company for about a decade and had generally been a really steady employee. Must’ve been one awkward conversation when he had to tell his wife why he’d been fired in the middle of a pandemic.

I have no idea honestly. I think he tried to blame it on someone else who was in the room with him, but that just made his situation worse since he was working from home and had access to people’s personal information. I’ve seen some people do dumb shit at work but that definitely sticks out as the dumbest

Yeah when my grandfather died I had to provide an obituary, I was surprised my old company was ok with just that.

The guy that always says shit like “having fun yet?”, “another day in paradise!”, “just living the dream” 🙄 Guy at my work would say "living the dream as always" EVERY time someone on the phone asked how he was. Would hear him say it at least 30 times a day as we take internal calls. I'd seethe every time, and then other people started doing it too. Their dreams must suck.

That was the running joke at my old office, I made a point of asking if it was the one they woke up screaming in a cold sweat from.

The new expediter at my job is trying really hard to force a rapport, and I hate that. Like, busting my balls about shit in a manner that he probably thinks is friendly, but actually makes him come off like an insulting prick -- especially since he's worked, like, six shifts so far. Plus, he fucks up orders he sends out on a regular enough basis that he needs his work double-checked by the line cooks, which defeats the purpose of having a dedicated expediter in the first place. I'll give him a little more time, but he's climbing fast in the annoying co-worker rankings.

It just so happens that 6 AM is the time of my first Out of the day. The rental car bathroom was entirely Out of TP, so it was either paper towels or my socks. Wiping with paper towels Hertz
