So the region I'm in is going through this phase to decrease meat shrink because apparently all meat depts around here are just hemorrhaging sales (for various reasons). DM's explaining the rules for stocking and production.

We're not supposed to stock more than one date of a product at a time (even if it's a 1-day difference), so as a closing person doing backstock has basically exited my routine. Combined with the fact that doing the truck is apparently a managers-exclusive job I never touch the backstock anymore.

We're not supposed to produce anything that is in stock or not on our production sheets. Only produce it if it's both in the sheet and out of stock. They mentioned with the meat cutting to not even open a primal if it's gonna produce more than what the production calls for.

What the actual fuck is happening? I can understand the thing with the backstock and retail but I thought the expectation with production was to shoot for 100% compliance every time? I've heard regional is expecting 95% compliance with the meals, but out of the 10 or 11 items that were on our production on my last shift I only did 4, which was following the new rules. Does that sound like 95% compliance to you? I might as well not even come in before 6 o'clock!

My T:Slim X2 pump is charged to 100% right now. Less than ten minutes ago it was 5%, on the brink of losing half a cartridge of insulin. I have read a few sources here and it appears to be somewhat common? All of the anecdotes have similar symptoms:

• Charger and cable plugged in, maybe followed by indication of charging, proceeded by an error message (code T7).

• Battery percentage seemingly not increasing or decreasing while cable is plugged in for hours at a time.

• Eventually, the battery displays 100% charged as if the charger was working the entire time.

That's roughly what happened to me the past hour or two. My pump is less than 2 years old and that's after replacing a 4 year old one. I have been using the same charger and cable, though, so I figured I would order a new cable seeing as the micro USB on my current one did appear worn. Regardless of whether or not the issue is with the pump hardware (specifically, the battery and the charging port), it will help isolate the variables, anyhow.

I want to know how many other T:Slim X2 users are encountering this issue and how recently it's occurred. It seems that I'm not alone, after all.

Also, I found the stupid rubber connector for the port cover on the pump has almost torn itself off already today. Curses.

I thought I had a problem with my PC (Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6H running Windows 11) the past two days. It would boot to a black screen 50% of the time, boot to Diagnosing your PC every third, and rarely boot to the login menu. Login worked fine and most apps functioned, however file explorer would either fail to respond or open an unusable blank window. Search in taskbar hardly functioned. Some system apps including Lenovo Vantage would not respond.

After some troubleshooting using Windows tools like Task Manager and Resource Monitor only worked to narrow down the issue, we eventually decided to pull this flash drive (a Sandisk 128GB USB stick) out of a port it's been sitting in for years straight. The change was immediate. File explorer opened promptly and functioned normally as did the booting. The USB plug itself felt hot, almost burning hot. We learned this was because of the system spamming page requests to read the drive, which it was unable to (Event Viewer returned a Warning ID 51 and Error ID 7, bad block and paging errors). Apparently Windows 11 will let itself get hung up like that. Our conclusion is part of the drive is most likely corrupted. Why it would've been corrupted is a mystery, but I believe it could've been a random Windows update or automated process which caused a reaction from the drive.

Because I was lazy and didn't bother backing up files more often there is some data that may be lost. Some of that data is actually quite personal to me. Knowing the drive could be received to some extent I believe there's a 50% chance the files residing in the memory are intact. I'm not intent on using any troubleshooting methods with my own hardware so I'm considering consulting a professional service at a computer store near me.

What do you believe occurred for this series of events to happen? Is the Sandisk recoverable to any degree? I would like to hear some insight, advice, and I'll respond with any additional information I have collected from this chain of events.

Last night I was virtually harassed by store leadership the entire time. Meat clerk closing. Clocked in at 4:00. ADM explains this list they left for me, wants me to start with cleaning a drain. Went to grab a piece of equipment to do that with before being intercepted by ASM. ASM orders me to do the production stuff on the list, so I went and did that. Got the list down to the cleaning order, then after is a little bit more production so I tell ADM I'm about to do it. ADM tells me not to worry, so I disregarded it. Got everything else on the list done, now in the middle of closing crap. ASM barges in and asks why the cleaning's not being done and I explain the ADM's order. I'm cleaning the drain after getting prep room cleaned up. Poured chlorine solution down, just like how I remembered because not too long ago ASM explained that to me. Got meat pulled and floor mopped and got lucky to face for 5 min before clocking out at 10:30. Wait at the door for a few mins, ASM orders me to go clean the drain. I explain I've clocked out and ASM orders me to clock back in. I told ASM I performed the task exactly how I did the last time I had such an order, ASM thinks I'm full of shit because I've worked in the dept for 3 years. ASM threatens to write me up and I eventually badger them to let me out.

Was planning to stay for a little longer but now I've got to turn in 2 weeks just so I can leave the company in good standing. This micromanaging from store management has been going on for a few weeks and I'm now convinced I'm not valued anymore. They can keep lying all they want. I feel like I'm being bullied as I was during middle school not by kids, but by administration. I'm not putting up with that shit anymore. I know my transfer to an easier dept (and for a part time position) is never gonna even be looked at despite submitting an application and not having been interviewed. I know I'm fucked. It's for the safety of my standing to do 2 weeks by this point. I just hope I don't fucking snap at these people and land myself in legal trouble. I'm already losing 2.2 thousand of vacation money.
