It's been weird
a year ago
It's been a bit already leaving petco and it's been good. I'm just lucky that I'm in a situation where I don't/didn't have to rush to find another job right away. It's been nice feeling like I have an actual life for a little bit. After spending over 12 years there and working the entire time through covid. I've been lazy about it, but I have been working on sending an email out to HR from there. Not expecting or really wanting my job back or really expecting anything from them at all. But trying to get some sort of investigation started on the DGM and GM. Because I don't understand how a company can function when so many managers and higher ups are so toxic. Granted I guess a lot of companies are/can be like that, but still. I read about it all the time about how a store has this manager that bullies people or does this to people and most people just deal with it. Because like me, they figure nothing will either be done about it or there will issues if they do report anything. Because most instances the stores have barely enough employees to get by. So then tension just gets worse, even if they, "can't retaliate". I'm just glad either way that I'm out of there and I'm still just waiting/hoping that the company goes under. So much crap is apparently happening high up in the company and with how things are at the store level, it still isn't looking good.
On another note. I've been cooking/baking a good bit. Getting things done around the house when I can. Though this weather doesn't help with any of that. Also, been making sure to sleep in and play games as usual too. Been going through Elden Ring some more and doing the Destiny thing. It's been funny that so many people have issue with Malenia in Elden Ring and I got through her on like my 3rd or 4th try. So now I'm doing like I did with Gael in DS3 and just sit around and help people out with her. As of typing this I have 4.3 million runes saved up from fighting her. ^^; Also as I'm typing this I got done helping someone with her that I was helping for a while and they send me a thank you message when they finally beat it.
Waiting for Kep to get tired of me being around though. ^^; I know the dogs are happy with me being around though. That'll be the one hard thing about going back to is having to put Tsume back in the crate when we're not home. But I'll figure that out when it happens. I don't want to go back to morning shifts for somewhere, but I will if I have to. Hell, I might be able to apply for unemployment and just get a part-time job and have that cover for some of it. But again, we'll see when we get there.

Chances are HR ain't gonna care. I had issues when I worked for Domihoe's years ago. I though about sending corporate a few emails but they wouldn't of cared since they will still be making $$$$!
Although when I was working there we were having issues with our grease trap and sump pit causing the sink floor drain to back up. It got so bad liquid was coming out of the manhole in our sidewalk and going into the parking lot. The GM, at the time said it was because we were draining the sinks to fast and he would not tell his boss about it. Needless to say I made an anonymous phone call to the health inspectors office about the manhole leaking raw sewage and they came out the next day. It was fixed a few days later.
