I have to do like, actual work at my job instead of going on the computer but holy fuck I wouldn’t trade it for an environment even remotely like this. I get a half hour total paid breaks for the time I’m there legally, I split that into 3 smoke breaks. Fuck, one day when it was really slow and I lived right next door I just went home on the clock and watched Seinfeld for a an hour, just told my manager to text me when I was needed again. Dude doesn’t give a fuck as long as the work gets done

I wouldn’t go quite that far. He isn’t the owner, he’s just an older punk thar got a family and settled, as long as his ass is covered as far as his boss is concerned he just turns a blind eye to my blatant rule breaking and lack of professionalism.

I mean, I’d say getting your work done and done well in less time than you’ve got to do it the very definition of professionalism.

Years ago the manager of the delivery department quit and because I was the only other person in the department there during the day there was no one to keep tabs on me. I would clock out for lunch, clock back in and then go home for 2-3 hours just about every day.

Damn, you got them to quit over something they could have probably just had you canned for?

The manager basically did a Half Baked send off, told all the sales people who would consistently overbook deliveries because the store had a next day policy to go fuck themselves and then he moved out of state.

How did this management make it past high school?

Management, in my experience, is rarely literate, and if they are literate, their comprehension skills are basically zero. We have a joke that management is basically a huge competition to stick their own heads up their asses, and whoever gets theirs the furthest up gets paid the most.

They probably barely did. Ask me how many times I’ve had to rewrite something given to me by my direct supervisor or the head of marketing because it’s so poorly written that if I received it via email from another company, I’d think it was a phishing attempt. The answer is more than I can count.

I don’t understand what do not have to pick the same day means.

Was this awarded to a team?

Think it just means “you don’t have to pick the same day” as in “hey you don’t have to use this immediately when gifted”, but I could also see some middle manager giving this out to 15 people on a team and being like “you all have to discuss with yourselves what days you each want to use this on”

Oh I that makes sense, but also redundant since you have to give 24 hrs notice.

They want to give you a chance to forget because it’s only good for 30 days
