This article is an interesting look at vacations and tourism within the USSR (first place in the world to require paid leave). But, the author can't help but describe everything as a sinister authoritarian conspiracy. I wonder what percent of American workers were going on paid multi day river cruises in the 1970s.
I want to get my boss imprisoned or killed and all he's done is tell us no mor earbuds and refuse to let me play music when we're open even though nobody in the fucking world is going to complain because The Pizza Guy has some flamenco guitar playing at a low volume. I'm sick of the screeching of the convection oven especially when I am NEEDLESSLY SUBJECTED TO IT
my job can pry my ear bud from my cold, dead heads.
The best part is it's "the health inspectors recommendation," not the fucking health code. Translation, the director doesn't like it and is using the inspector as an excuse.
I wanna scream at this dude, what is your idiot fucking problem, you would be doing your job better if you let people wear them because your job isn't ffucking aesthetics or health/safety, it's making sure this fucking dining hall is staffed, and you just had another dishwasher quit because you told him no earbuds, you stupid, shortsighted bourgeois FUCK
i have the advantage of working at a grocery store where we have a floor and a hidden workspace and i'm the dept. manager. store maangement did a memo a few months ago "no earbuds" and i just told my crew to ignore it. if our director or anyone comes around we just tuck them. to be safe i just pop mine out on the floor so customers don't complain we're ignoring them or switch it to pass through mode.
i've worked pizza before too. yeah that's shit excuse what is the ear bud going to fall in the pizza? and there's no customers to complain you are in a kitchen being all greasy and sweaty. shit they should just let us be atomized already like they want us to.
Yeah that was the reason for the health inspectors "recommendation" but like fuck if it falls in shit just throw it away and remake it, easy. Before that they were grumbling about it being a safety issue but it's really not. Especially not for me, because my station is out of the kitchen 30ft from anyone else
They really just don't want to have to yell for people's attention. And unfortunately all the supervisors are shitty and following along with it
be like "it's either numb my mind with podcasts/music" or "I'll spend the whole work day thinking about how much i hate this place and how i'm going to quit".
Working for a massive chain, I have the feeling that even my head manager would appreciate being able to say no to Corporate's cost-cutting demands at literally any point. He's a pencil-pushing dork who scrunches instead of folding, but I suppose even he could pick up an AKR...
