Micromanaging boss

Post Reply New Topic

yesterday, Cashier Zowie called me on the walkie talkie to load. @ the time, i was the only lot attendant on duty. when i got there, a customer wanted to load a door. i asked him how high he had to load the door. he said "not that high", but when we got there, "not that high" meant six inches above my head. so i told the customer that i had to go get more people. when i got there, i told my boss, front end supervisor, that i needed loading assistance. she asked if it was over or under fifty pounds. (i have a doctors note that i am not allowed to lift over fifty pounds.) i told her that the weight is not listed, but the customer wants me to lift it over my head and i needed help. my lazy boss that does nothing besides go on the phone and flap her stupid lil trap, then went over there and said that the customer was finished loading, but he was still standing there with the door. and finally the boss came over there and then she did nothing except bark @ me about the correct way to "slide" the door into the car, without completely "lifting" it per se. then she went into the car and "helped" the customer adjust the garbage in the car, while barking @ me to keep holding up the door. thank buddha, another customer came and helped me lift the door. otherwise, the door would've fallen and physically injured my ugly fat stupid head.

my boss is on the "inFocus" team. (safety team captain). she acted like "if the merchandise above fifty pounds, you shouldn't be lifting it. if the merchandise under fifty pounds, you lift it alone. under no circumstances do i have to come out and 'help' you.).

she is so lazy and stupid.

she doesn't even know that the higher you lift something, the harder it gets.

the job description for lot attendants says "lift fifty pounds". "lift" sounds like "deadlift". it does not say "lift" it above your head. it is much harder to lift fifty pounds of concrete, than a fifty pound barbell. it doesn't say how many times you have to lift it. and a door is so much larger than a barbell.

my boss is about the same age as me, same height. she's a lot heavier than me.

maybe she can't lift fifty pounds and she didn't want me to know that.

she's so condescending and self righteous. she makes me wanna puke. she acts like she knows everything.

she should've gotten made redundant a long time ago.

then later a head cashier called me into the Garden and Front End Supervisor said "(my name) should be on his way over."

but i was scheduled to be off work in seven minutes and i told her that on the walkie talkie and she didn't answer so i went over there to tell that to her face.

she didn't say "thank you for telling me." (she already knew. she has access to the schedule and i don't.)

she didn't say "i'm sorry for saying you should be on your way over."

she needs to go to finishing school.

she needs to learn proper manners.

front end supervisor angela w

needs finishing school

needs to learn common courtesy

needs to day "excuse me" instead of "huh". that might encourage her to listen the first time.

needs to stop micromanaging.

needs to get made redundant.

angela w doesn't have "excuse me" or "sorry" in her vocabulary.

she's too lazy to do anything. i had to convince her to come load a door with me, and then when she got there, she had the nerve to bark @ me "if it's under fifty pounds, you need to lift it." "you need to" is so RUDE. angela w is so stupid too. she doesn't have enough common sense or know enough about physics, to know that the higher you lift something, the harder it is.

angela w once had the nerve to tell me not to knock a pallet onto the cart with my foot. (i find it hard to believe that SOP or her job description or any other written instructions from home depot says anything about the correct method of putting pallets onto the cart.) that idiot just happened to be there @ that time, but the parking lot is large and angela w is usually working (or standing around flapping her trap) inside the building).

one time i was lying on the couch in the breakroom and she had the nerve to tell me to get to work. it was 10:00 and my shift started 10.

one time she had the nerve to bark @ me "i hope those shorts ok", when i was changing clothes in the lockerroom, but i was off the clock.

that idiot has zero common sense, intelligence, critical thinking skills. she doesn't "care" about anyone except herself. she doesn't consider someone else's perspective. she doesn't give the benefit of a doubt.

when she was doing my performance review march 2025, she saw my file had an entry in 2021 and she said "you got written up 2021". (that idiot has a negativity bias and maybe she's biased against me, but everyone has subconscious biases. so whatever). the 2021 entry was "jury duty", not a write up. (rolls eyes) (puke)

one time she had the nerve to tell me to put my phone in my pocket, but i was just checking the time. as a result, i wasted $30 on three watches so that i check the time without touching the phone.

angela w could've helped me lift the door two weeks ago, instead of just condescendingly telling me "if it's under fifty pounds, you need to lift it." otherwise she could've gotten someone else to help me lift it. (and that stupid lil girl used to be on the "safety team").

it appears that she has plenty of friends and "cares" about plenty of spiders, but everyone she cares about is just like herself and they care about her vice versa. upon closer inspection, that stupid lil girl does NOT "care" about anyone except herself. (optical illusion)

head cashier angela d, one time had the nerve to tell me to load a customer. turned out the customer told me to load a Tuff Shed. it took a lot of servants and tools to get the Tuff Shed out the shelf. and then i returned to pushing carts. then angela had the nerve to call me on the walkie talkie and tell me to come to Pro Parking and when i came that stupid lil girl had the nerve to threaten a write up if the other lot attenant, "X" and i did not clear out the pro parking immediately. but "x" was just standing there with Rae, and "X" wasn't doing lot attendant work altogether, but i didn't tattle on "X".

one time angela d called on the walkie talkie and i answer and then then she had the nerve to bark @ me that i "yelled" @ her. but she keeps saying "huh" instead of "excuse me". (rolls eyes). and what is the definition of "yell" anyways, over fifty decibels?

(rolls eyes) (puke)

the same day as ASM gabe's meeting, when i asked angela d "what should i be dong" (which supervisor angela w had the nerve to tell me that i had to ask.), angela said "use the picker to pick up trash". and i said "sweep", and the stupid lil girl had the nerve to scrunch her face like she was totally disgusted and barked "no, pick up garbage with the picker!". (picking up garbage with the picker and sweeping are similar tasks.)

one time, a head cashier told me to wait outside the Garden and be Loader and then CXM norman told me that when i do that, i have to also push carts in Bays "A", "B", and "C". and i was trying to do that when angela d, who had not even clocked in yet (it is against SOP to work off the clock) had the nerve to tell me to push a chair to the garbage pile across the parking lot and also to fill Corral C with carts. (home depot need to hire more lot attendants, not just demand unreasonable "multitasking".)

both angelas owe me an apology.

and there has to be some method of making sure nothing like that happens again. even if they both have to get made redundant. on the other hand, whatever. even if they got made redundant, their replacements might be even worse than them.

____________________________________________________________

it never ceases to amaze me how stupid, lazy, rude, and condescending "the angela's" are.

home depot hires convicted felons.

actually, i'm surprised that, thus far, neither "angela" has had the nerve to take out revenge on me. ("whistleblower retaliation", "snitches get stitches").

on the other hand, maybe their replacements would be even worse than them.

Yesterday Angela w had the nerve to tell me that "parking lot out of control" and pointed to five lumber carts out of place.

Unreasonable micromanaging stupid condescending rude lil girl

She didn't make me redundant or write me up or anything like that though

She's the one that deserves to get made redundant

All she does all day long is sit around flapping her stupid lil trap

On Saturday, that stupid lil girl Angela w saw me in the break room when I was going to go to the Litterbox and had the nerve to tell me to push the carts in the building

She should really read a book about how to be a good boss, but she doesn't know how to read

Her IQ score lower than my shoe size

almost every single interaction with that stupid lil girl angela w has been negative.

i don't understand how/why home depot still hasn't made her redundant thus far.

not only is she useless, but sometimes she actually has a "negative" value.

yesterday, when i started work, i asked "what should i be doing?", (like she had the nerve to tell me to ask). "huh", the idiot had the nerve to snap @ me, like i was bothering her.

then after lunch, i tried and failed to find the head cashier or supervisor. only found ASM gabe and he said i had to do training videos and i did. while i was trying to do them, angela w had the nerve to come in and she looked @ the monitor (like she thought i was looking @ non work related websites). (rolls eyes) (puke). then when i told her i was on break, she asked how many training videos i still had left. "24 minutes". that stupid lil girl had the nerve to put her paws on her hips, like i had just violated her precious lil "rights". but i was doing training videos the whole time. i was not "stealing time" or doing non work activities. and Corporate has access to the times that each servant logged into the computer and what websites they visited. Corporate could (if it wants, but it doesn't have to), verify the fact that i was doing training videos the whole time. that stupid lil girl acted like she didn't trust me. she acted like i was just playing online games instead of doing training videos.

i think Home Depot should force her to write me a letter of apology, post it in the hallway, and make her redundant.

Yesterday, 10:15 pmDelete post
Today supervisor Angela w had the nerve to call a lot attendant on the walkie talkie and I came. She said that the freezer was under fifty pounds but I pointed out the box said 66 pounds. She had the nerve to tell me to do a team lift. I told her that former ASM Javier said that if it is over fifty pounds, no matter how many people are touching it, I don't touch it. Angela had the nerve to tell me that "we are going to have to revisit the doctors note because if it's a team lift, you should be able to lift over fifty pounds.". As usual, I failed to tattle on the stupid lil girl in real time, because I was afraid she would have had the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant. Another lot attendant and I did a team lift.

Tomorrow I am not scheduled to work and I am going to write my sister an email. She used to be a medical doctor

Friday when I am scheduled to work, I am going to tattle to ASM gabe, human resources, or manager Cristina.

Angela w is way too concerned about what "should" happen, but maybe she "should " have gotten made redundant a long time ago and home Depot should have made her write me a letter of apology and post it in the hallway

Stupid lil girl!

As of last week, front end supervisor is no longer Angela w. It's. Alicia c.

On Wednesday Alicia had the nerve to show me a photo of a shopping cart with garbage and told me to clean out the carts before putting them away. But I was sweeping the whole time and I didn't put that cart there. It was on video tape but whatever

"Logic could be used to justify anything"

former front end supervisor AW had unreasonable standards and demands.

"(my name), come here! the parking lot out of control!" the idiot had the nerve to bark @ me.

five (5) lumber carts out of place. plenty of shopping carts in place.

"kick down, kiss up"

One time, fifteen minutes before the end of my shift, Angela w had the nerve to tell me to show her the carts in the lobby and that I had to do that before I left work every day

But there were so many carts in the lobby that more carts would not fit in there

And besides she could have gone to look herself

Maybe home Depot should require supervisor and above to have bachelor degrees

It never ceases to amaze me how idiotic those rodents are

i am so horrified that the boss @ the next home depot might be even worse than (former) front end supervisor angela w.

there are some things that the supervisors and managers could not legally do, and some things they could not do, according to SOP, but everything else, subject to imagination, is fair game. and there could be an unlimited number of those things. besides, even if the boss does something that IS illegal, then what? it is also illegal for me to videotape inside home depot. it is legal for home depot to videotape its own building. it is legal for the boss to refuse to show me the videotape.

https://www.askamanager.org/archives (Ask a Manager) has examples of plenty of bosses much worse than mine. so whatever.

one time supervisor angela w had the nerve to tell me to do training videos, and i did. then when i came back from break, the stupid lil girl had the nerve to ask how many hours i had left and i told her and she then put her paws on her hips like she was so angry or something. but i didn't do anything wrong.

maybe she "expected" me to watch the videos @ 2.0 speed.

unreasonable

that stupid lil girl should've gotten made redundant a long time ago.

Last week head cashier Juan had the nerve to tell me to push the carts in Receiving and while I was still trying to do that, Juan had the nerve to tell me to push the carts in the whole building. Then ASM Aaron had the nerve to tell me to push the carts in Receiving, while I was trying to do that. And I told him but the stupid lil boy didn't apologize or anything like that

Those lil centipedes need finishing school and cotillion

Even better they need to get made redundant

saturday, stupid lil girl head cashier angela d had the nerve to tell me to pick up garbage in the Pro area and i was trying to what she had the nerve to tell me to do and two minutes later she had the nerve to tell me, that's not what she meant - she meant, sweep under the scissors lifts. and then the stupid lil girl had the nerve to tell me ninety percent of my "job" was pushing carts in the lobby and to drop everything and do that right away.

sunday, head cashier juan had the nerve to wave me over and ask me if i was busy. "don't lie. i know the truth." what "truth?". there are an unlimited number of perspectives of "the truth". not "the" truth, "your" truth, you stupid lil boy. head cashier juan used to be all "buddy-buddy".

alicia is so much better than angela w.

on wednesday, alicia asked me if i wanted to push carts in the building b/c it was "cold" outside.

on the other hand, people change personalities and people change jobs.

so whatever.

maybe alicia will change. or maybe tomorrow there will be a different supervisor.

especially @ home depot.

angela d has been annoying as usual but she is just being "true" to herself.
