Fifty pounds

Post Reply New Topic

today 48.9kg. 5'3. if lose one more pound, then below the minimum weight for the military.

110# minimum blood donation. already below that minimum

2022, a woman had the nerve to tell me to load about ten bags of sixty pound concrete and i told her i have a doctors note that i am not allowed to lift over fifty pounds. that cockroach had the nerve to tell me "i don't care about the doctors note. put it in the car." and i did. meanwhile, she had the nerve to stand right there and bark "ai ya" and things like that and "that was hard". she was so rude.

the reason why i did it, was b/c i was afraid she would tattle to the boss, and she was having sex with the boss, and "at will" employer, and the boss could legally make my worthless corpse redundant, and she could've told the boss anything she wanted. she could've wrongfully accused me of something. otherwise, the customer could've physically injured me with a knife or gun.

however, if/when something/someone has the nerve to physically injure me, at work, i get workers compensation.

besides, even if i did exactly what she had the nerve to demand me to do, she/anyone else STILL could've physically injured me. so whatever.

and if she could've talked to anyone she wanted, even the boss, and told them anything she wanted, and it didn't have to be factually accurate. home depot is on video tape, not audio tape. so maybe the boss would've taken her side - i don't know. maybe she's having sex with the boss. but whatever. "life" goes on and on and on.

lately, been feeling too physically weak to sit up. have to be lying down.

exhausted all the time

pretty soon, will drop a lot of merchandise and physically injure myself.

Plenty of job descriptions say "lift fifty pounds".

Not just construction and warehouse. Restaurant retail sales

Sooner or later, home Depot will have the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant and when that happens, zero occupational.prospects

But plenty of precious lil "people" that work there, don't look like they could lift fifty pounds


Besides right now is the really hard time for anyone to get a job. Even people with a lot of lucrative job skills and good personality


Furthermore, even outside of work I have a hard time carrying anything. Dragging groceries a struggle and rapidly getting much weaker with age. My sister keeps telling me that she wants to sell the house that I live in and if I am not homeless, then the next apartment might be much further away from the grocery store than two blocks

Get my own cart and take it to the grocery store

Pathetic


42 not that old

110 pounds not that lightweight

Plenty of people older and lighter than me , much physically stronger than me

But whatever

8 billion people in the solar system and only one of them is the best and even that one is only the best at that time.

But I am not good at anything, no matter how hard I try

Plenty of coworkers and customers could not believe how physically weak I was. On the other hand, whatever. "Life" goes on and on and on

Yesterday a customer that looked like a cisgender male tried and failed to load a bucket of paint and I did it for him

He looked 45m, 5'6 and 170#

Much heavier than me

I was surprised that he couldn't lift it

I was surprised that I could lift it

a middle aged woman customer had the nerve to ask me "are you going to be able to lift that?". (a bag of rocks) and i lifted it. "yes".

"my friend is like that. he's very thin and stronger than he looks."

yesterday, weighed 47.8kg

for my height, male or female, and age, i weighed too little to join the military

also not heavy enough to donate blood.

congratulations to me

Plenty of rodents do not look like they could lift fifty pounds. And concrete much harder to lift than barbell. And lift the number that the customer bought, not just one. Lift it five feet high, not just deadlift. Lift it on top of the car, six feet high, above your head. Lift it the way the customer wants. But they still work at home Depot and other jobs that have lifting requirements. Not all of them are having sex with the boss. How do they do it?

Plenty of reptiles, zero job skills, not authorized to work in the country, bad personality and et cerera but they still earn enough $$. For kids, cars, rent. How do they do it?

yesterday, refused to load a litterbox.

head cashiers alfredo and juan said that it was ok for me to refuse to load 23 plywood, even though they're under fifty pounds, b/c they were stacked over my head. juan then told tattletale tom to do the plywood. after that, tattletale tom had the nerve to tell me "(my name, plywood is not fifty pounds."). "sorry, it's stacked over my head." tattletale tom didn't raise his voice or touch me or lose control or anything like that, but he was acting all self righteous. (rolls eyes)(puke).

head cashier DF (haven't seen her for a couple weeks), and head cashier angela d (haven't seen her in a couple weeks), often don't even make me lift things that weigh way less than fifty pounds. angela said she goes all the way down to 20 pounds. DF asked if i could lift packs of water and bottles of lemonade. way less than fifty pounds.

but whatever. tattletale tom was just being "true" to himself. scorekeeping, micromanaging, self righteous, self important.

As of right now, home Depot has not had the nerve to demand that I get a doctor's note

My previous doctor note expired in the end of June and I don't know if the doctor will write another note. They could refuse and extortion is illegal so whatever

A couple of weeks ago, with roy, loaded three eighty pound bags of concrete. Almost dropped it

https://lawandcrime.com/crime/slipped-o ... d-ag-says/

" 'Slipped out the side': Nursing home worker killed patient while trying to operate hydraulic lift 'by herself' to move victim from chair to bed, AG says"

According to the article, CNA Desmond Johnson was trying to operate a hydraulic lift, when the patient fell out, and dropped dead. Johnson was charged with "negligent homicide".

Granted, there are plenty of things about the situation that the article does not specify.

However, the article scares me, b/c, for five years, i have been working as a Lot Attendant at Home Depot. The job description says "lift fifty pounds". However, four years ago, the former assistant manager, javier, had the nerve to tell me that i had to get a doctor's note that said that i was not allowed to lift over fifty pounds. plenty of merchandise much heavier than fifty pounds: litterbox (113#), cabinet (567#), refrigerator (190#). currently, all the other lot attendants much physically stronger than me. Still, plenty of coworkers keep telling me to load merchandise much heavier than fifty pounds, and when i tell them about the doctor's note, they sometimes have the nerve to tell me "it's not that heavy. you can just lift it." also, i am 42 and rapidly getting much weaker. concrete is much harder to lift than a barbell. sometimes, the customer demands that i lift the merchandise on top of the car, or the back flap of the truck doesn't come down and i have to lift the merchandise five feet high (shoulder level).

i am afraid that i will unintentionally drop some merchandise and physically injure a customer, and then i get sent to jail and the customer takes out a civil lawsuit against me. (i am not a lawyer, so i have no idea what legally is supposed to happen. on the other hand, if i were a lawyer, then maybe i would not have to be literally breaking my back loading rocks @ home depot.)

A couple of weeks ago tattle tale tom called lot attendants Chris g and Adam w and said that he needed assistance lifting a "heavy toilet"

Tattle tale tom (180#, cisgender male). No work accommodations that I have heard of. If he can't lift a Litterbox then I can't either

(former) associate Tracie said that any male customer service or head cashiers is required to assist with loading merchandise. But that sounds like "discrimination" in that it is not legal for two people with the same job title to have different job descriptions, based on Equal Employment Opportunity Commission categories.

The training videos say that all of the servants required to help with loading but precious lil "people" act like I asked for an organ donation. And if they DO load it for me, they act like they dragged my worthless corpse out of a burning building

The Paa announcement says "ask any associate" for loading assistance, but nobody is required to be strong enough physically to load any merchandise in the building

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!

maybe if customers and servants knew that i was female instead of male, they wouldn't have the nerve to demand that i lift so much heavy merchandise.

but whatever. hormonally transitioning from female to male is like that.

there are constantly plenty of servants and customers around, just that they hardly ever could be bothered to do any sort of work whatsoever.

cortez and ted s said that they have 20 pound lifting limits.

jayla said she has a five pound lifting limit

raul, ten pounds

my fifty pound lifting limit is not really a "limit", b/c i am not strong enough to lift over fifty pounds anyways.

7 years ago when i was 35 years old, on a phone interview with costco, the interviewer asked "do you have a lifting limit? 30 pounds?".

i don't understand - everyone has a "lifting limit". nobody is physically strong enough to lift an infinite amount of weight, and nothing in the solar system weighs an infinite amount.

some cashiers said that, over a certain amount of weight, i am not allowed to lift. which is correct. but nobody is strong enough to lift an unlimited amount of weight.

home depot is ridiculous and the only thing that makes sense in the whole building: display litterboxes slanted downward so nobody could sit on them.

cronyism

nepotism

besides, plenty of servants do not look like they could lift fifty pounds but they still work there.

what i do not understand, is that the cops' fitness test sounds REALLY REALLY HARD, like everyone that could pass has to look like mister universe, but a disproportionate number of cops look totally out of shape and i could not imagine them doing anything that hard.

Angela w acts like she is trying to get me and other servants that she doesn't like, made redundant, by micromanaging us to death


I am so scared of getting made redundant




Constructive dismissal

Today manager Cristina said that she would get ASM gabe and supervisor Angela w to talk to me about the fifty pounds, but they should have done that before last Tuesday when Angela had the nerve to make me team lift the 66 pound refrigerator ("communication")

Pretty soon I won't be able to be a lot attendant anymore. Actually surprised that I made it this far. Over five years

home depot has the nerve to put up a whole "song and dance" about "infocus" and "oursafety". but "actions speak louder than words". insisting that i have to lift OVER fifty pounds, in team lifts, is a disaster waiting to keep happening. especially since home depot supervisors and managers often have the nerve to tell me anything in writing, so what ASM Gabe tells stupid lil girl Supervisor Angela (rolls eyes) (puke), she will completely misunderstand, and then tell me to lift something I am not required by home depot to lift.

sooner rather than later, home depot will have the nerve to make me redundant; either that, or both redundant and injured.

after the "door incident" and the time supervisor angela w had the nerve to tell me that i "should" be able to lift more than fifty pounds if it's a team lift, i feel like home depot (the leadership) has been purposely going out of its own way to get me physically injured, make me quit, and micromanage me out the door. and not just "me", but plenty of servants. on the other hand, stupid lil girl angela w has her "favorites".

cronyism
nepotism

i have no idea how ASM dave W in the next store will respond to the fifty pound rocks.
