Been kind of slow but I had an interesting situation today. We had this dude get mad at a female associate for dropping a pallet and during the argument he placed a shipping label on her chest (she said) or shoulder (she said). I immediately suspended the dude so he will not be back in the building and probably fired.

Did you know that the female sends the po-po up here and the investigator is considering an assault charge. It seems a bit frivolous to me, but hey.

Assault is basically unwanted touching. In application it's ridiculous but a prosecutor can basically charge any disagreement as an assault. Hell even apprehension of physical harm is technically assault and dear lord have I seen prosecutors stretch that to ridiculous levels.

I'm no lawyer but that sounds like assault consummated by battery.

You know that's what the Energizer Bunny got arrested for, right?

Right?

I found out today I am getting laid off from the job I have held for the last ten years. I will get paid to do nothing for the next four weeks, but after that, sorry.

I have never been unemployed and I have no idea how to handle it.

Feels gay as shit even posting this on a forum, but I sure as shit am not putting it on Facebook where errbody can see.

I am in a pretty big state of shock.

Just looking for some tips, pointers and feedback if anyone else has been there. I never have.

I wish I knew what to tell you about these circumstances and it’s not because I haven’t experienced these circumstances because I have been in that position several times. While in banking I was in the upper management tier when ownership decided to to put their stock out to an investment group. In doing so the incoming group wanted to pick their own management group. My position was one that the incoming had brought from another institution thus forming Him to the job was a better comfort zone for them. There was several of these management changeout positions opening up but I didn’t wasn’t to wait them out so I ripped my abilities and went looking to governmental agencies to redirect my future. They were also where of the opening’s were most available. It was a Godsend decision and I was back in a solid position that I eventually retired from.

I still remember the the shock and awe feelings I experienced during that transition and it was not a pleasant time. Create a plan and begin with what you can do then what do you want to do. Somewhere in the crisis is the beginnings of an upcoming job and one that may take you where you don’t want to go but walk them all the way too the end until you land “the job”.

i have been looking for this thread. The shitshow of my career continues. Got back from vacation monday to be told that in cost cutting measured i was going to have to cut to three days a week. I have been at the job a year. Friggin ridiculous. There is no end in sight for this and honestly these people are so cheap if they figure out i can do my job in three days i will never get back to full time. So now i have to job search again and with an average tenure of 1.5 years in my last 7 or 8 jobs. A lot of companies get a little squirrely about hiring me. In the last ten years i have lost jobs from covid, quitting because of safety issues, being discriminated against, position eliminated, termed with no reason given, and quit one job because the people were garbage humans. I have been looking for a situation that i can stay in for 3-5 years minimum.

our company is a craft wholesaler and we get 90% of our inventory from China. So the new tarriffs are impacting the business. The brain trust that runs our family owned company did nothing to prepare for this until it actually impacted them.
