Hate having to carry a walkie talkie at work

Sometimes it am in the litterbox and I have to drop everything and go see what they want, s**t

Walkie talkie too loud

Static

Head cashier Angela d and Angela w have the nerve to call at every slightest thing and sometimes I am on the litterbox and I try to ignore it but those stupid lil girls keep flapping their traps. Head cashier DF sagging jeans. They make me wanna puke

Then sometimes when I call them they don't answer or sometimes we are in the middle of a conversation and they just stop answering

Otherwise they call "any lot attendant" and when I get there, they deny having called, or the merchandise over fifty pounds. I have to keep telling stupid lil girl Queen Angela w about the weight limit.

(I could just imagine those numskulls writing me up for not answering when they called)

(Rolls eyes)

They need etiquette and finishing lessons

Home depot should require that leadership knows how to write in complete sentences

Head cashier DF called a lot attendant on the walkie talkie and I answered and she didn't say anything. I went to all three checkpoints and she was not there. Then I told queen Angela w (rolls eyes) (puke)

Today for the first time since November 2021, lost walkie talkie

Thank Buddha for head cashier Juan. He found it for me.

Otherwise I would have gotten written up

last week and this week my walkie talkie kept stopping working.

afraid that walkie talkie will stop working and then i get made redundant for missing a page. told head cashiers DF and MM that. DF said she will tell her boss. but WTF ever, b/c "at will" employer.

told store manager that sometimes the walkie talkie stops working and i am afraid that if it stops working, i will miss a page and get made redundant. store manager said don't worry about it b/c if the walkie talkie is not working she (supervisor) will come find me.

i guess that's good enough.

"at will" employer. something like that could happen in any job. esp minimum wage, unskilled labor. any old monkey job.

two days ago, went to get my walkie talkie and could not find it. told front end supervisor that the last day i went to work, i plugged in the walkie talkie and then i couldn't find it. she told me to wait for her. i did. then she came and told me that i could be "mad" @ her b/c my walkie talkie in her apron.

(rolls eyes) (puke)

that was like a smack across the face.

the official policy: if you lose your walkie talkie, you get a write up.

one month ago, my walkie talkie fell out of my apron. looked for it. could not find it. thank buddha head cashier juan found it. otherwise would've gotten made redundant.

but then, two days ago when i couldn't find my walkie talkie, i was afraid that the precious lil "higher ups" (idiots supervisor and above), would have the nerve to tell me that i "lost" my walkie talkie. ("logic could be used to justify anything".) and then make me redundant.

constantly uptight, scared

constantly outnumbered overpowered outsmarted

angela w should've gotten @ least written up for taking my walkie talkie, unless she had a really great reason (such as the ASM told her to).

angela w gets away with all sorts of things. she wastes way too much time on the phone and standing around flapping her stupid lil trap.

she has a net negative value.

so what, a couple weeks ago, i lost my walkie talkie. it is so easy for my walkie talkie to fall out of an apron pouch, esp when i am sweeping or loading. the whole policy of giving a write up for losing a walkie talkie, is grotesquely inappropriate and disproportionate and out of context. it doesn't make sense that i (or anyone else) should have to worry about losing a walkie talkie. (besides, angela w keeps losing her phone, and she hasn't gotten made redundant thus far).

what's the point of worrying about losing my walkie talkie, when precious lil "people" (such as the front end supervisor), could just take my walkie talkie, and then i would still get a write up?

angela w didn't even apologize to me. "sorry" and "excuse me" are not in her vocabulary. (she is doing her "best").

like sisyphus

yesterday after telling head cashier juan that i was back @ work, i put down my walkie talkie next to the cement mixers. then realized it wasn't in my apron.

panicked.

thank buddha didn't lose walkie talkie.

but whatever.

my stupid lil girl boss, angela w, has been "lurking" and sooner or later she will find something that i (allegedly) did wrong and make my worthless corpse redundant. so whatever.

yesterday, my walkie talkie wasn't where i left it the day before (in the chargers). head cashier juan told me to work w/out a walkie talkie.

now i am afraid of getting written up or getting made redundant, if supervisor angela w has the nerve to accuse me of losing the walkie talkie. (she might not believe me that i put the walkie talkie in the proper location.)

but whatever - the entire state is an "at will" employer.

maybe i should be grateful/thankful that the spiders that work @ home depot have not (thus far) had the nerve to exterminate or vandalize me.

last week was my fifth year work anniversary. congratulations to me.

two days after my walkie talkie was missing from the chargers, my walkie talkie reappeared.

i am afraid that the stupid lil girl supervisor angela w will have the nerve to write me up for losing my walkie talkie, even if someone else took it. but whatever. "at will" employer. something like that could happen at any job. there is no way i could take the walkie talkie home @ the end of the day, b/c that's "petty theft". and there is no way that i could stay overnight @ home depot b/c that is illegal. (although there are plenty of hiding spots, such as "from the mixed up files of mrs basil e frankweiler".)
