The Official Status Update Thread: Part 97 - The Fifth Elephant

[Sylvain]

Hello INGO. It's nice to finally be off of work. I closed on Friday, worked 14 hours yesterday, most of the day today, and I open tomorrow. All of this would have been unnecessary if people would just show up for their scheduled shifts.

 

[db1959]

Agreed. I was short 2 guys for the Avon GO and then had someone decide not to show up yesterday. So then he showed up today and got fired



You'd think...but I guess it's easier to just collect unemployment?

You get fired from where I work they will fight unemployment.

This poor guy didn't last 2 weeks

Shouldn't you be asleep? Good grief...with all of the people who are unemployed, you would think they could find people who want to work and show up.

Six people were hired within the last few weeks and only one is still employed. That should tell you a lot about some peoples work ethic.

missed you yesterday jd!
we debated going to gander, but ran late as it was and we were pretty hungry and tired

It sucks that I had to work. I was looking forward to eating with you all. I haven't seen you or Chezuki since NFA days.

There was one individual who started this week. They were scheduled for four days. They showed up for the first shift, called off the next two, and didn't show up this morning.

Did you buy the best new gun on the market, the Remington R51?

Too many of the unemployed prefer to be that way. It's easier to get a handout than work for a living. It's sad that there is no sense of pride.

NNNNoooooootttt so much lol. I had a guy try to sell us his R51 right after telling me all about the issues it was having with the slide. So I shot him a rough offer and he decided not to take it lol....I got an XDm

I don't understand why someone would go through a couple of interviews, do a drug test, show up for training, and then quit. It doesn't make sense.

Yes, this. There are a couple of our new hires we would clone if we could. Some others...not so much and I'm not especially sad to see them go

no idea. Maybe if they go through that process then at least they can say they tried and blame the employer when it doesn't work out?

The gun worlds Yugo is still better than an R51.

I've had to strip every one we've received and clean metal shavings and miscellaneous debris from the gun. I've never seen such a poorly made firearm. In all honesty, I'd rather trust my life to a Hi-Point than to an R51.

Maybe he had an emergency of some sort? I used to work at a placement service and we had people do that sort of thing all the time. Sometimes, there was a valid excuse and they truly were unable to call in. Most of the time, they had to show an attempt to obtain employment to avoid jail for nonpayment of child support or something of that nature.

I'm kinda curious about why we didn't get any in in a few weeks. But I'm very thankful actually

What I posted happened to numerous new hires. It's not an isolated incident. I just genuinely think that some people are too lazy to work.
