That's right! I want to hear about the bullshit you had to deal with at work this week. Shoutout to those who are working for the weekend and working on the weekend!
This is a work vent thread, if that isn't clear. I might make this a Friday ritual.

Shitty. Thought I was switching with my department manager today, as we had talked about it prior, only to get a call around 9 o clock asking where i was. Apparently he never actually got around to asking about the switch, and I didn't think to confirm it with him beforehand. He ended up opening the department late and having me go through with the switch to close anyway. Weirdly enough I didn't get written up for it, he is going to get written up because????????
This place I work at has the most idiotic upper management I've ever seen. I feel bad for my department manager but he says I'm good, no worries, he's used to how weird and inconsistent this place is. I still want to grab him an energy drink or a coffee or something on my way in tomorrow because it's not fair that he's getting punished for my mistake. Then again I half expect that writeup to never materialize and even if it does, they're not really in a position to get rid of him because it's literally just me and him in the department and the place has enough of a reputation that they're not getting any takers for the assistant dept manager position they've had posted for a while now. (The last one got fired for drinking on the job, which is fine by me because he was an asshole.)
Also going to start paying out the ass for insurance soon which will be better than the total lack of insurance I've had for the better part of a year and a half now, so I can finally go to the doctor and get told in an official capacity that I am too fat and my blood sugar is too high and I'm not sleeping enough or exercising enough without having to pay $800 for it. And hopefully get back to my physical therapist for the occasional spinal adjustment and whatever else I can take advantage of while still looking for another job because as I mentioned the upper management is ass.
