I legitimately have never been so stressed in my life. Former replen manager, current whatever the fuck manager. This workload they’re putting on us is disgusting. The folks making these decisions should be ashamed of themselves. I have worked here for 8 years, had stressful moments here and there and wanted to quit, but my love of my job and coworkers kept me pushing through. Now I come in every day to WILDLY unrealistic expectations, no end in sight. I’m one of two people who know how to do resets. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’d be sticking my other team member with all the project thread 3 resets, I would’ve walked out weeks ago. I am a great employee and have stayed loyal to this company because I loved my job and the creativity. I’m so stressed that I just go home and sleep. I have zero personal life outside of work. (TMI warning) I started my period a week early because of all the stress. I can’t even wear a tampon to work because I rarely get a bathroom break. There’s a good chance it’ll just be me as MOD and a cashier for much of the day, I can’t leave them on the floor alone to use the restroom.

Either help us or just put us out of our misery and go out of business.

I appreciate the acknowledgment and apology from Nick and Stacey, but man, phrasing it like that was pretty tone deaf 😅

Hi! Looking for the following:
Tycoon Game Case
Maraquan Kiko Pocket Toy
Void Faellie Plushie
Slorgeous Game Console
Love Bomb
Roberta and Mortog Action Figure
25th Anniversary Neopets Game Case

My username is intofolklore, I started a new account a couple years ago, but have been playing Neopets since I was about 10. I have some collateral to offer if you’d like it.

Marti down for anyone else? It’s giving an error message, I googled it and it basically says it’s spaghetti code holding it together 🤪 I’d love to be able to topstock

It feels like the easiest thing to ship without breaking. So why are they attached to the boxes?

Hi! My husband and I recently attended a concert. Everyone in our section was standing except for the couple behind us who remained seated the entire show. Everyone sat down for a slower song, and the woman in the couple tapped my shoulder and thanked us for sitting because they couldn’t see with us standing. My husband, who was in front of her, is quite tall. I offered to switch seats with him if helped her to see better. She said “oh no, we’ll just try and watch the show between you when you stand”. Are we the assholes here?

Edited to add: she was passive aggressive. These were assigned seating sections, not general admission. We were about halfway up the section and everyone was standing. And it’s totally fine if you think I’m the asshole here! Just was looking for some perspective.

I go to a lot of concerts, and Noah was probably the most fun show I’ve ever been to. Not just the music, production, setlist, etc, but the people around me. Everyone was singing and dancing, having fun, not afraid to be themselves. I just wanted to express my gratitude to such a fun fan base! ❤️

Customer: excuse me, where are the candles?

Me: are you looking for scented jar candles or plain candles?

Customer: the long skinny ones

Me: taper candles are in aisle x

Customer: oh, I’m looking for birthday cake candles

I was hired to work M-F as replen manager. Now I’m being asked to give up 75% of my weekends, and close. I am essentially washing my hands of all replen duties with the new restructuring.

I do so much for my store. It will take 3 people to replace me. I am a good employee and I put up with a lot of shit because I genuinely do like my job. But this is insane and the final straw.

The easy solution here is to create a part time ops manager position to help with fabric, balloons, price changes.

Preface by saying I’m diagnosed ADHD, undiagnosed but suspected autism. Does anyone else have a tendency to overcorrect? For example, I missed a text from my mom, and once I realized she was trying to reach me, I checked my phone every 1-2 minutes for the next several hours to make sure I didn’t miss anything else.

Just on a journey to understand my mind better and be more patient with myself, I appreciate any feedback.
