Top Ten Excuses for falling asleep at work ^_^
“They told me at the blood bank this might happen.”
“I wasn’t sleeping, I was trying to pick up contact lens without hands.”

“Amen”

Do You Think This Will Piss My District Manager Off?

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 05:14:29 +0000

ok, let me first explain the situation… I work for RadioShack and have been loyal to them for over 2 years. 3 days ago a customer came in to buy a cell phone and we didn’t have the one he wanted. We had one like it but it wasn’t free like the other. The system allows us to “price match” on phones up to $71.00 I lowered the price by $50.00. Now, if you aren’t familiar with these high pressured companies everything revolves around selling wireless phones and expensive electronics. Anyway, since I “price matched” the phone’s price he ended up buying an $800.00 computer from me also. Anyway, long story short. The other store in town found out about my price change and tattled on me to the District manager. He in turn, Blew it out of proportion by contacting our loss and prevention manager and “writing me up” for it (I have NEVER been written up) Anyway, i’m going to quit… and thought I would send him a “nice” letter… this is what it says…
To whom it may concern,
To start off I must say that I have been very loyal to this company for over 2 years. I have never betrayed RadioShack or its management. I have always been on time and called in sick once. On multiple occasions I have come into work on my day off or worked weeks straight. I have given the company no reason to think bad about my performance and have always excelled at work. I bend over backwards for the company’s needs and have done things that I was not required to do.
I must also say, when I first started with RadioShack my father was diagnosed with cancer. In July of 2007 he was diagnosed as terminal and was given 8 months to live. Regretfully, I kept my job at RadioShack because I believed it would benefit the company if I stayed. I spent every moment outside of work and school with my father as I was very close to him (which amounted to about 2 hours a day) and I knew I didn’t have long with him in my life. Within those 8 months I got to spend two days with him for the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas.) It would have been very easy for me to quit my job with RadioShack and again, regretfully, I kept my job at RadioShack because I believed the company would benefit if I stayed. My father passed away in March of 2008. Being the dedicated employee I am, I only took 2 weeks off of work for the grieving of a man that gave me 20 wonderful years of his life. I also have to add, that I have turned down several higher paying jobs because I enjoyed my job at RadioShack. Now, if that doesn’t tell you that I’m a dedicated employee to RadioShack, I don’t know what is.
Let me leave you with a few thoughts and comments…
There have been an abundance of horrible District managers at RadioShack. I have only seen ONE excellent DM within the 2+ years I have been with RadioShack. And YOU sir, are NOT one of them. I think you are one of the most pompous assholes I have ever met. I believe you have absolutely horrible management skills; let alone district management skills. You don’t even know what in the hell you’re doing with the district. You are a poor leader who just got the DM position because they fired the previous DM, and needed a “filler.” You’ll probably be fired right along with the others. You put nothing but stress on the managers and employees with NO sense of gratitude.
You make a big deal about price changing a wireless phone by $50.00 when the company probably makes more than twice that for that sale. Also, if I’m not getting in trouble for that I’m getting in trouble for NOT selling phones… If you haven’t noticed!!! The economy SUCKS! Your salary may not change because of the economy, but my pay does. Just because I changed the price of the phone I also got a $750.00 computer sale out of it. Now, with all that said…
Just in case you are wondering… I QUIT!!! **** YOU AND **** THIS COMPANY. I don’t get paid enough to deal with your BullShit!!!
Sorry it’s so long…. but I need your input for the letter (basically I want to piss him off) anything you would add???

My Ex Took My 12 Yr. Old To Another State. I Had To Quit My Job And Move Also. Will This Look Good In Court?

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:33:35 +0000

He is trying to make me look unfit because I left him for another man. He says that I can’t have any custody if I marry this other man. He changed the locks on the doors when I tried to take my daughter with me at the time of our breakup. As long as I am not with another man, I can see my daughter. Is this a control tactic? He says he will dub me unfit if I push him for custody or for visitation while the boyfriend is around. He says he will bring up my depression medicine, Zoloft. I went to an outpatient hospital for 3 months for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 2 yrs. ago. He took me there after I asked for help. I had started drinking secretly and crying alot and taking sleeping pills at night. But I got help and straightened up…..this was 2 yrs. out of our 23 yr. marriage. So am I unfit in a judges eyes? And he is not perfect, he had to go to anger management therapy–compliments of his job/boss. He also found a viagra bottle in my purse and kept it.

Will Hypnosis Help My Biting?

admin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:25:03 +0000

I constantly bite my nails, my lips, the inside of my cheeks, my tongue, and food. I seem to have an oral fixation, a sort of anxious habit, but it is becoming very harmful. My mouth is always sore and often bleeding, yet I cannot stop. My dentist told me that biting the inside of my mouth to extremes is, in a sense, self-mutilation. It has got to stop.
I’m wondering if hypnosis, such as at Positive Changes, could help with my stress management and get rid of my biting? I’ve read testimonials about people who have stopped biting their nails, but what if mine is more than my nails? I’m also afraid that if I get rid of biting, that my anxious habit will simply transfer to something else, like the people who stop food addictions and become alchoholics. What should I do?

I Am A Single Mother And Have Just Been Informed That The Father Will Get Joint Parental Resposibility?

admin — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:13:36 +0000

But how can they let a man, who has been a vicious bully to myself, I have got over that, but more importantly his 4 year old son have any rights. The father is a regular cannibbis smoker, and yes it does lead to mental health issues. He didnt work for 4 years as he suffered from stress and severe anger management issues, which he never followed up the therapy offered to him. His son is scared and intimidated by him and screams if he tries to talk to him, I have tried to reason with my child about this but he simply states that he hates daddy and that his daddy is a naughty man. I am at a loss of what i can do to try and argue this issue, my solicitor has stated that he will get parental resposibility as he is not a rapist!!! Surely there must be something that I can do to try and protect my child? Anyone out there had some familiar dealings with this please any info would be grateful?
