Workplace defenses

 Im back! Well I guess you could say that I never left? Anyways I want to take a second to talk about something aside from the usual workplace bullshit! Let us take a second and another to talk about work place defenses...and what I mean by that is how we ourselves navigate workplace conflict? No this not one of those weird work place orientations and im not a teacher to lecture anyone, things like that so breathe!

let me take a second to pick myself back up as my dumbs likes to take hiatus and what not. Lets start with asking ourselves what we have learned about diffusing workplace conflict? You know aside from what they tell us in these awkward policy books that they keep sending home with people that no one reads. I am quite sure some of you have even taken these policies and went home at the end of the day and wiped your ass with it. So from all that what did we learn other than...we can't punch our co-workers because they decide they were going to be annoying, we learned we can't ignore our superiors because well they are our superiors, we learned that we have to be on time even if it kills us...Sound familiar?

Yeah okay whatever let me tell what they ere really saying in-between the lines, they were saying don't be late because you're manager is going to be late as much as they want and there's no point of bringing it up without retaliation, they're saying you can't punch your co-worker in the face even though, he's a racist  and has been making comments all week, they're saying follow the dress code except for the girls and guys who they like and who are going gain a huge amount of positive attention, they're saying bring a fake positive attitude to work, they're saying come be miserable the entire duration of your shift, they're saying leave your problems at home even though they truly meant you. 

They're saying take the lies of your jealous co-workers in stride, they're saying workplace friendships are off limits because , that gets in the way oof numbers, they're saying waste time by looking busy and sweep the floor a couple of dozen times. They're saying you're always going to be wrong even when you have clear evidence that you were right, they're saying they need all of your time and energy, they're saying having fun in there workplace his off limits , they're saying for every day off you will be punished with the workload over and over again, they're saying even though you're right and you can back it up you're still wrong, they're saying take the fall for other worth's they have more of an interest in but dont want to fire ...Should i keep going? I know its a lot to take in but count how many time you had a boss that showed favoritism, or you heard workplace gossip that was racial and sexist to other workers?

Count how many times you were alienated by rules or the way a task was done. Called out in a group meeting by a simple mistake, being talked to about your attendance but you're always seeing your manager come in late, not being able to do much when you start getting followed in the work place and picked on. When you go to HR but they are part of the same team and it docent stop, how far do you go before you decide that enough is enough? Do you wait a fe months? If you're anything like me you probably give to about a year and just keep doing the best you can until they call it quits with you. I want to say that it was a lot easier said than done. Some jobs I absolutely had to walk away from, and I think most of you can relate right? The type of job that interferes with your dignity and what not.

For the most part if you really think about it what can we do? I mean we have those cases where we abide by the workplace rules but still in turn no good deed goes unpunished and its absolutely sick of you ask me. I deduced it too that a lot of these people work long hours and they get so bored and so distant from their usual lives that they come to work and they project these negative insecurities and these negative mindsets and they use it to control whatever weird satisfaction they get, however that's just the tip of the iceberg if you ask me. These concepts get deep...for example what makes a liar at work per se? is it the need for job security? Is it that the individual just isn't compatible with some of the other workers? That same question can be asked in a sense of what exactly makes a kiss ass? Like have you really thought of it outside of the fact that the person obviously wants to be there  long and to move up in the workplace. Once again it can actually get deeper than that? However what time do we truly have to sit down and apply these concepts?

Thats not even fair because most of you weren't given a lot of these tools. I think that's what makes it more of a headache if you think about it. However you can't truly say that either because sometimes you can give some the fundamentals but what's the point if their mind isn't open to it and they want to be stubborn? I think we shouldn't chastise certain behaviors, for example if my boss is telling me some dumb shit that I can't she off I don't think anyone should be punished for walking off and taking a minuet. Small things like that prevent altercations, I don't think its a punishable work offense to defend yourself even if its one against the whole office, I believe everyone has a voice but you know you don't always get the time to speak, especially with the type of people who like to hear themselves talk.

I fell like, if anyone feels like their boss or team lead is accusing and constantly picking on them why is it super problematic when the individual decides to speak up about it? Like why does it always cause a wave in the workplace, I get we all have jobs to protect but lets sit down and get serious for a moment, even if you had a job, explain to me this...was it worth it coming home everyday from your mediocre job feeling like shit for base pay, was it worth giving up your dreams and your dignity as person, for a place thats putting your replacement through orientation, or how did it feel to bust your ass for those long hours jut to end up completely unappreciated? If you can justify to me these things, then I am more then willing to back off and be wrong I guess you could say. However somewhere within that I know that Im not wrong.

This is not about being lazy and not wanting to work because thats majority of us right? No one truly wants to work, and if they do they don't truly want to work for someone else. However its always going to be looked at that way, anyone leaving a job over conflict of interest with their work peers will be told unfortunately by someone in their life that they were just being silly, too sensitive to the situation, they shouldn't want to quit just because someone at work is being an asshole. Ive gotten this far too many times, Ive had people tell me that I need to change my mindset and attitude, however even I can prove that none of those things indeed work. Ive had jobs where came in everyday with a smile on my face and still was treated like nothing, Ive had jobs where I was the kiss ass and tried to build favorable positions with superiors. All at a fail, that quickly goes out the window when someone decides that they just don't like you. It goes out the window when someone is more willing to throw you under the bus.

The point I am m trying make here, is why in this life we make ourselves lesser in the workspace. Why do we let the ideals and opinions of others in the workforce determine who we are at a new job? I think we have a tendency to forget that we didn't leave the bullies in school. They're everywhere. Sure you can job hop but thats sweeping the problem under the rug. These things will never change unless we go out of our way to change them ourselves. So next time you're at work and your job is going out of its way to remind you that are something less then yourself. Tell yourself that, that job is dime a dozen and that you will be okay. Don't stop defending yourself.

Minghua (MING - WHA(T THE FUCK)

 Hey everyone its bee awhile but Im back with another workplace narrative. I know I have been away but I have been giving this job some time to sink in and within two and a half moths it has already started to go downhill. So I think we are all aware of the disclosure notice? Names and things will be changed to protect the privacy of the actual people. Although I don't think this will be using any names....All right here goes!

This job has been quite the rollercoaster and somewhere within this I don't actually know where to begin. Let us start with the company, Minghua, a little automobile company located in Fremont Ca. I don't have anything truly positive to say about the company and no that's not me just being a hater thats literally me analyzing the entire warehouse in them last two and a half months. These are the things that Ive seen and experienced forehand so there's no fiction. The work is tedious the people are terrible and there's nothing within it that makes me want to even remotely stay there.

I am a quality control inspector and the entire point of my job is take Tesla bumpers and make sure that the production team is following their process. Sounds easy right? Well It should be but its the management that makes it so difficult to work there. No to mention that the turnover rate in that place is crazy. I see new faces everyday and its incredible how fast you can move up and how much of a snake you turn into in that type of environment. I think of the people they're not much as robots but more like idiots in their own right. A bunch of people who have nothing going on at home, so they come to work and project that. It is bad and it does a lot of good people a negative. It definitely doesn't want to make anyone want to stay any longer then three months I guess you could say.

Of course when I first got there the vibe was great and I wasn't feeling too bad about the place, however that's how it starts in any new place or thing you do. Everything is always great at first but it takes time for the bad the things to set in and it takes time for you to truly understand the environment around you and how some people move in the workplace and how their actions affect others. My lead for example short girl who thinks she knows the job inside and out. I will leave her race out of this as I don't want certain types of opinions formed about her. She was hard to get around and she followed me everywhere so I always felt watched but I made it through the day and usually I have no problems with her but lately it seems that she has been out to get me. Since I guess you could say I am no longer her little lackey to go around and do the things she didn't want to do.

Ever since she came on its been like I have to do her job and mine even though she gets a good bulk of the work done but its that thing where she is over complicating the job and working herself into stress over simple errors of other human beings. I try to turn a blind eye and let it go but it gets annoying because she finds some way to drag me back in. She has me baby sitting other workers. Whenever something goes wrong I get blamed first hand even though there are so any of us. When I make a single mistake I have to get a 10 min lecture every time while the other workers she lets stands there and brushes off. I felt accepted and picked on and it was weird. I was doing my best to conform to it and deal with it  but each day gets harder and harder and I honestly feel like one day I am just not going to show up anymore. I have better things I could be doing with my life.

Let me take you to the actual situation that happened tonight so you can get straight to the idea about what I mean. I get there at work and everything is cool, for the most part I am not in the best of moods so I have been kind of keeping to myself most of the night. I was very stand of is and I wasn't going out of my way to talk to anyone. The energy in the workplace was bad not including the fact that we had a previous issue but I will be taking a different time to discuss that. Everything was fine and I was minding my business, my team gathers too the table and we are instructed where to go. I was sent what we call after polish. What I do there is basically inspect the bumpers that the after polish people put out. Its very tedious and its very boring but I do it. Today in particular already started off weird. There were no after polish pairs put out so my lead literally had me standing around waiting for more. As I did let her know they were out.

First she runs around and talks to another associate after that she runs to back and takes a defective bumper too the back. Once she come up front I stop her and let her know that I am still waiting for the paperwork. She looks at me and says okay and walks off again, this time into the direction of the computers up in  the from of the warehouse. That was fine because that's where we usually print them. I wait there another few minuets just for her to come back and tell me that there was nothing to print and that there was nothing she could do. So after telling me just to adjust another sheet, I walk to the back and I start standing there. By this time there were a few bumpers sitting there so I write them down, the pace was slow so there wasn't a whole lot going on and there wasn't anything to really do. Within I get approached by my co worker who has once again decided to annoy me with conversation even after I told him several times that I dint want to talk. Next thing you know I take off and I go to the bathroom. 

Wasn't in there any longer then 5 minuet as the janitor who so conveniently standing there in the break room eating chips told me to hurry up as he has to take his lunch break, so I am in and out. On my way out of the bathroom I notice that the annoying coworker and now my lead were standing there by my station, once I get in close enough range for my coworker to notice me he whispers something in her ear and promptly walks off. Next thing you know my lead is chewing me out over why I went to the bathroom without informing my peers. For the most part I ignored her because I felt like I had too. I felt that if I told her that he wasn't there to tell and that she was too far away she wouldn't have believed me and that shew would have still in some way found some way to fault me.

I still continue to stand there and I guess you could say I ignore her. Once again I  explain to her that there was nothing on the racks and that me leaving didn't hurt anything but of course once again I was faulted. She takes my sheet and hands me an actual photocopy of the original after polish sheet that she had told me earlier that she didn't have. I was increasingly frustrated and I wasn't sure what to do about it. By this time I do my rounds and it took no more to 5 to 10 min as I said there was no actual pace to go by. Next thing you know I see my lead  come back to me and she tells me that she needed to speak with me upfront and by the time we are making our way there, the production manager buts in and starts walking to the office with us. I look at my lead and ask her what's going on and she told me that are all needed to have a meeting.

The bring me into the office and sit me down, by this time I am not saying anything because I was already upset at the fact that we ended up in the office in the first place. They sit me down and start explaining me that everything I wrote down was somehow incorrect. For the most part of it I wasn't actually saying anything and I just let them go on. It wasn't by the time they starting accusing me of doing it before did I feel the need to finally speak and defend myself. I also sat there and pointed out the fabrications in their story as they didn't have any proof to bring to to the meeting and they kept deflecting when I kept asking how they verified such information. After getting the run around and dicing that I am no longer going to engage in the discourse with these people I shut up and let then hear themselves talk. Within that the supervisor got frustrated and he pulls out his phone and he clocks me at 8:30 and tells me how insubordinate I am being and that I need to leave for the night.

So after being absolutely irritated I decide to give them what they want. Stand up and I freak out and scream that one of my relatives died and I storm out, and I go to the car and leave. Sitting there I ran back the entire situation and went over just fucked up it was. I then sent my lead a long text about how much her and Ali were being assholes to me and they should sit and re-evaluate how they handled that particular situation, I told her not to respond and to actually think about what she did.

So what's the moral of the story boys and girls? Its time to quit and move on to the next job lol was that too vague? C'mon guys I can't keep trying to come up with good morals some of these situations don't have any!!

Parental hijacking Is that what its called?

 Hey everyone! Im back to talk about some of the weird shit that I have been going through in my personal life for those of you interested that's great stay awhile. For those that are nosey...cool stay as long as you need. For those who could careless well...theres always that. I truly dont know where to start but im starting somewhere bear with me! Do I also need to add in the fact that names and some information will be changed for I guess you could say legal purposes?

Home life is just a headache at this point, parenting is kind of useless at this point but I won't leave it on such a negative connotation. Okay that whole start was kind of droopy but I will go into details. Look at me sitting here confused not knowing where to start but lets start with the matriarch of the house holdShe's kind of a demon and sort of a nuisance. Image trying to be an active efficient parent for your kids  and like their grandparent is cockblocking you. I firstly imagined that grandparents were a happy healthy thing and that its a lot of love and support.  Yeah I know I have to stop dwelling into these weak TV fantasies but who can help it right? Everything is better when its scripted.

Well no I can solely say that grandparents in this case are doing way more harm then good and I truly can't tell if they mean well or they are going out of their way to annoy the shit out of me. Some days it goes over well and I can kind of deal with all the dramatics but what I went through yesterday in particular was very, very, strange. Most definitely annoying to say the least. First let me say this if you dont have kids feel free to skip over this next parent because basically I have to give a run down on the situation and I dont want anyone getting bored or not being able to relate to the situation at hand. 

Okay so parents with girls let me give you the run down right quick on what happened. Okay so imagine your 6 year old daughter throwing a fit because she doesn't want to do virtual school. So you're on stand by and you are trying to get the girls father to handle the situation but he's too busy trying to talk to your 8 year old who's off to the side giving attitude because he doesn't want to attend his morning zoom call. Image trying to sort the situation out the calmest and the best way possible just for it blow up in your face. AND I MEAN REALLY BLOW UP! So now that you have that scenario going I want you add onto it and what I mean by that is, imagine that your kids grandparent comes in and yells and you and calls you a child abuser all because you grabbed and spanked your daughter who was on the floor throwing a five year tantrum.

It gets worse because as you stand there and try and defend your point that its not entirely child abuse if you spank your child. However she's not from the same culture or principals as me so I can easily see where the disagreement lies. I dont like it but I deal with it, I do truly my best to hear her out but a lot of the time that goes left field. Not too mention that there's a generational gap between us so that plays a huge roll in not seeing eye to eye a lot of time and once again its one of the many things that I am out here putting up with for whatever reason. 

Anyways back to the grandparent. This same grandparent decided that they are going to take it a step further and try and snatch your child away and then proceed to tell you that they will call the police on you if you dont stop and leave the house. Not to mention the tantrum throwing child isn't helping by screaming at the top of her lungs for then grandparent. So imagine yourself doing your best not to really lose your shit on somebody's mother. Not only are you trying to keep it together and try to shovel your way out of a shit situation you are also trying not to become the raging BPD monster that you are deep within. 

Sorry to whoever felt like I took the third person personification too far, I have a tendency to get carried away and want to put other people in my shoes long as possible. Im looking to work out the issue in on someones couch in a doctors office but that is a later stage in life I guess, where I try and build deep connections with the professionals in my life, because god knows I have to stop using cashiers in grocery stores to vent my every emotion downplay and bad choice. It's gruesome and almost is inhuman to say the least. Now let's get back on track.

Okay so back to me trying to fend off a matriarchal dinosaur for trying to take one of my kids and throw me in the clinker (yes I turned that into a cringe sentence and I truly don't care). She's standing there yelling at me about how crazy I am and that I need to calm down and I yell back at her that she already raised her kids and that she needs to back off of mine. I knew I could've came better but I got stuck. On top of that I wasn't really trying to argue but damn it I will not be disrespected. I standardly explained to her that out of all of the years that  I was raising kids in that house she always interfered and that her solutions to anything pertaining to it was dumb. Naturally that made her mad and she judged me for basically having to come back, work, go to school and live on the couch. This naturally made me about four times angry and I am looking at my baby daddy at this pint like "get your parent bro".

It heats up and she then proceeds got tell me the I needed to be drug tested and that I wouldn't win if I tried and took the kids away. At this point I felt entirely put into a corner so I started yelling at her and addressed all the flaws within her family. A few other got into the mix and I talked her marriage being a complete failure and that her nor her husband were ever going to admit that they fell out of love years ago. It wasn't my business to tell but since she wanted to come at such a low standard I figured I could maybe get something good in by the time it called for it. It worked for a little while and it had no choice to because she was running out of things to say and I would say that it was because she want expecting me to have so many comebacks.

Some people figure that I dont argue intelligently and its not even that. I just know when things should be talked about I guess. I could have called her ut of her name several times but I cholesterols to take the lesser of two evils and go at the personal things in her life. I hope she learned form this. Parental hijacking sucks but it happens to a lot of us. However as long as we stay positive and argue efficiently then we can really make something happen. and change to get better parts out of the situation. However be wise this doesn't always work and sometimes a better approach is the way but stay resilient off anything and Guess that the more right?

The problem is what again?

 Okay so I am back with a more personal narrative. Ive been going crazy but I have a lot that I want to get off of my chest. I figured this is best place to do it. So lets jump right in by saying that names and situations will be change and slightly exaggerated to protect the identity of others! Enjoy? Or don't.

Listen, hear me out I have a couple of things that I want to get off my chest...Ive been going crazy all week and even after speaking with a few different perspectives I feel like I haven't gotten down to what's really bothering me. I don't want to think of this as negative, I want to think of it like...clearing the table I guess you could say. I just find myself, in these negative situations with people and I can't understand why sometimes.

For example the most recent situation I was in when my Cat got away (I got him back but still). Image being in the house with your kids and you firstly instruct them as you leave to make sure that the cat doesn't get out. Now in the background add another person their grandmothers friend walking out right before you to go clean out their car. Now naturally you're not going to think anything of it. Now lets fast forward and I am sitting in my car reading, imaging getting a text from your kids father about the dog being gone.

I am not saying that I got mad too early but you have to admit it is entirely frustrating when people disregard what you tell them. I am willing to admit that I let my anxiety get triggered and I responded kind of harshly to the situation I guess you could say. I give him a call and I am freaking out going a million miles an hour I almost had the nerve to get back in the car and just start driving around the neighborhood but I didn't I progressed toward the house by the time I get here he comes outside in a panic explains to me how. He hasn't seen the dog and I simply explained what I saw coming out of the house.

Upon walking into the house I am already yelling at both of the kids about them being irresponsible and letting the dog out. However their rebuttal to the entire situation was that they hadn't left the door open and that a certain someone did. Which they weren't wrong as I mentioned that the friend walked out before me. In a rage I send the kids upstairs. Back outside I start to yell for our little family friend and low and behold I see him sprint up the street from where my car was parked. After all of the drama I end up back in the car sitting there mad.

Why in the world would his moms friend purposely let my dog out. It just didn't make any sense why didn't you let your exes dog out? Im quite sure she's wanted too especially after everything was said and done. Thats another narrative for another day. This is not even the tip of the iceberg.  Me and this particular individual have our problems and it ties into the post where I talked about my exes mom taking my car back, "Dude where's your car" is the post title. Go check it out. Anyways this is just the tip of the iceberg. I personally feel like once you screw someone over you shouldn't lie about what actually happened. You shouldn't put someone in a critical situation and then turn around and act like everything is okay.

I can fault myself for not putting my foot down earlier and really talking about how I feel about everything. At the same time why do I have to keep it to myself when the other person is instigating? So that's where Im at, I had to realize that I had to actually comes to terms with how I felt about everything. I felt disrespected, and personally targeted but when I go talk about and express my emotions, it turns into me being crazy every single time. This is only one of many incidents I have yet to really go into to detail about how toxic my living situation is. I have yet to talk about how the negative effects are showing up in my children and I feel like I don't know what to do about it. 

Anyways back to me in the car. I calm down and breathe and I call up a friend to vent, the friend that I called is familiar with the moms best friend and they have caught words in the past. The perspective that OI got from it was that I should calm down try to relax and just do  my best to stay away from them. I am not going to lie it was kind of annoying to listen to but then again that could just be me being overwhelmed by my emotions. I took it all in stride and I made it and I took a minuet after the talk. I just knew this wasn't going to be the end of it and its not there's another situation that Im going to write about that stemmed from this from but I want to give it a separate narrative.

Me and the moms friend exchanged words and now the tension in the house is even worse. However I am tired of someone running around trying to throw their weight at people. The negativity weighs on my mental health and I am no longer putting myself aside for someone who can't seem to move on to the next phase of their life. I dont feel like a bad person and this situation won't one the last and I handled it a lot better then I would've a few years ago. So here's to us growing as people and working on our inner demons.

continuation coming soon....

Why did I take this job? : The dog days continue

I'm back officially and I first want to come out and say that I am going to come back with my favorite topic. "DOG DAYS" Ah yes here I am going to come with another compilation of crazy work stories and I know you all love these because this is something we can all relate to, on one or more levels. (Come fight me if you disagree)!  Ive been through a few jobs but lets' jump on the recent job I have just went through.

(This is that part where I enter the disclosure notice and let you guys know that names will be changed in order to protect the identity of certain individuals who were apart of the real life narrative and what not)!

Okay so there are some things that I cant talk about due to the fact that I haven't released any of that information in the previous narratives. (Come on guys we all knew that was the exact line I was going to come with next). Anyways that wasn't beside the point but it was, lets just say I got this job sorting mail simply because well I needed a job to pay my rent for my room and what not. Well keep in mind that I have been working in the area for a little over 3 years now, so I find this Job in San Leandro (that would be on the opposite side of Fremont where I usually go). Little bit of a ways away and I hope we all know that Im not talking about the distance, I am talking real raw California traffic turning a 30 min trip into an hour long one.

Lets fast forward to me and my bad behavior, I smoke and those of you who read this on a regular I would like you know that I smoked my whole trip there, because the concept of this job was dealing with postal workers and things like that, the Indeed AD made it seem that it was more like a office behind the counter type of ordeal. I am not really sure if I want to disclose the information so for now we will call this place MFE.CO. I am going to start this narrative off with the interview process, as that whole situation was a bit out of whack from the start. Firstly I walk in and I'm over dressed and I couldn't find the door *cue Christmas song* (its beginning to sound a lot like something I would do). Once i'm in there feeling awkward as ever, I firstly get handed a drug screen (we all know where this going, can we go just jump forward and act like what was said was said?) No? Ha okay. 

Well I will come out and admit, that yes I did in fact smoke in the car up to the point where I smoked before I walked in (yes alot of us had in fact read the failed drug test narrative). However the test was a mouth swab, so now I want you to picture me sitting there nodding off with a plastic stick in my mouth partially drooling to the point of no return, I am really saddened that NO ONE DECIDED TO WAKE ME! Yes out of the what was 5 which has now turned into at least 12, is staring at me. By this time the drug test was soaked to the point it had the indicator tab bleeding out everywhere, it was hard to believe that the test would take. Not to mention that the person that they had conducting the drug test, was taking it step by step. Kind of like a sloth, he was real casual, the hardest part to watch was when he had us do the fingerprinting, it was awful. Every missed fingerprint was just like a three month infomercial but he went through with every aching detail.

He was doing his best but the room really started to fill in with even more confused faces but we trudged on. I kept note in the back of my head when it came to my surroundings and certain people I know that I would see repeatedly. Once it was said and done and I got the call that passed (I know surprising right) I patiently waited for my first day. Once I receive the call and I am in on my first day I take a small look around, the warehouse wasn't much and there was barely a staff. The place wasn't loud and the work I figured wasn't that terrible, after all the main thing we did was sort extremely large bags of mail, nothing too huge. At least that's how I perceived it on the outside looking in. It almost seemed too simple and the workers looked casual, like this was a regular laid back day job and it really had me amazed.

 It also had me bothered because, I have never seen people so chill when it comes to warehouses but low and behold there is definitely more to come. The training tutorial didnt seem like much and neither did the managers, my manager was alright for the most part, I mean he had a good attitude, dragon ball z hairstyle (he never fully acknowledged it but im going to because he looked like a super saiyan level 3 with a nice slick cut on both sides I actually thought it was great). I also thought he was a bit strange and carried a harsh attitude, but oh well persecute me because it could just be me and the mindset I have on warehouse jobs.

Now I want to take a second to talk about about a few of the people I met in this narrative, as they were by far the most interesting group of people that I have ever met. Alot of them were young but that didnt really pose a problem for me, I actually kind of liked it. There was an older group of people and I liked them just as equal. It was kind of awkward how I still fit in the older category though. I will start to introduce everyone one by one by name and I will go through their detail as they come up in future narratives!

1. Keith
2. Beneers 
3. Chai
4. Arianna
5. Jose 
6. pitcher
7. Andre

These people are the main individuals in this narrative but more of them will be named in the future this is just where I want to start as a pilot point, I worked this job for a few months so there is going to be a lot to tell. I like to try and keep these narratives somewhat short because I know a lot of people do not like reading lengthy things. Once again! That's besides the point however its not HAHA. Keith would be the individual with the dragon ball z hair who I said had kind of a shit attitude. I think the worst part was that you couldn't even tell if he was dragon ball z fan.

His attitude was horrible though, the way snapped and demanded at people and the way he would half ass voice his opinion on the most ridiculous things, we had these large gondola like mail bins, they were tall and were like 6 feet high, Keith had this thing where he would bitch if the bags were too high, and he would like to take it upon himself to pull you to the side and scold you for about 5 min, when he could've just pulled the bag from the top and threw it in another gondola (as all the other car pushers would do however Keith would love to complain and have you do it instead.

I recall a time where someone tossed in a bag at the last minuet I was taking a gondola and right as I stop what I'm doing to correct the mistake, Keith immediately storms up to me and says "Andeigh im tired of repeating myself on this, can we stop stacking the bags so high, Im going to get in trouble with the drivers I can't keep saying these things" now knowing me and what I said next "In the time you came over to express your issue, I could've damn near corrected it, Im not the one who threw in the las bag need I mind you, and I think its honestly a dick move how you can view the situation from afar and still presume to think it was my fault that the bags are high, now can you get out of my way we need to do more work and less talk", I said what I had to and I kept on walking of course. It was from that moment on me and Keith had a negative relationship.

How could I honestly sit there and let that be my problem, I observe my surroundings and I watched him watch me, watch someone else throw that bag in at the last minuet. Then it gets to a point where I watched him, watch me stop and get ready to correct the issue. Some people tell me I was too harsh in my response, I will personally say that I felt like I could match his attitude. He was a big bully around the workplace and I had such a hard time with bosses being bullies I already dealt with that shit at my last few jobs. The difference was those were some name brand companies I was working for.

The more Learned about Keith from the other workers the more I broke him down, I learned that when he was a lower level he performed the worst, he was lazy had an attitude and was the the bully that he was now. I also learned that he was single, mid 40s, no kids, and not even a pet. For some reason hearing these things  almost made me feel somewhat sorry for the guy, but I learned not to pity terrible people at such an early age. I had also learned that he had been staying with his parents and lived an even more bitter life and came to the warehouse to bully others. The man was ruthless and had no care for anyone he spent a lot of his professional time being a sneak. Looking over mail bins, taking photos, making phone calls, backstabbing his friends. The worst of the worst to keep the upper hand. Unfortunately overt time he lost his power and he crumbled.

Corporate started ignoring his calls, his hours were being stripped, he received complaint and complaint for his rude behavior, he was permitted to stay out of the office and come throw mail with us level one workers, there we were allowed to throw things and rudely berate him, the way he did us. Finally he gave up and started missing work he eventually got fired and all be came no better then it already was. I was gone months before then, but I stayed around on the sidelines to watch. I guess sometimes you have to sit back and watch people destroy themselves either they learn or they dont.

This is a continuation post so consider this part 1, I am introducing separate people per post thank you! By the way this is the first official post of the year!

First post of the year!

 Welcome to my first blog post of the year! I'll be honest I have no Idea first hand what I want to say but I didn't want to start it off with something that I have pre written because it doesn't have the correct feel if you ask me. However I have a lot of new work on the way!


Nah we aren't doing that. What we are going to do is first talk about when everything is finally coming out and what new consistent readers should expect!


Here let me go first well my name is Andeigh, I am somewhat a total mess and I have so much content I can't decide what to draft and post most times. Somehow it still manages to work out! I do not have an editor the one I did um well that's a narrative on its own in the works.


May official website is underway im working on it but I plan to make significant progress next month. This is probably uninteresting to you but I did state earlier that I didn't know what to say 😂! Always welcome!
