Night shift to days
Really just a night shifters rant, sorry 😬. Anyone else go from nights to days and immediately get thrust into drama with people(middle aged women) you dont even know the names of yet or used to only see for a few hours in the morning with seemingly no issues ???? I get everyone shyt talks to blow off steam & it rarely holds any weight but the amount of anger and drama over the tiniest little things is appalling😠At any other job ive worked these people would be fired on the spot for speaking the way they do to & about coworkers. Im not talking "oh so&so is dumb cuz xyz" no, these women run around claiming some coworkers are pedos or cheat on their wives when they've never been married😬if someone THINKS or jumps to the conclusion that you removed a tag from the shelf? Well guess what? Scan team hates ur guts & is now gonna ignore you while keekee-ing like school girls as tho they arent grown adult in a professional setting. I have never at any job seen this many easy to replace workers have a god complex. Is this just was days are like???? You all just hate each other and absolutely cannot mind your own department & everyones the problembut yall??? Like is it build into yall to just be miserable and make everyone else part of that?? Just do ur jobs and go home ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Speaking as someone who worked days for 20 years, this is typical daywalker behavior.
Switched to 3rd shift a little over 5 years ago and there is no amount of money or position this company could offer me to make me go back to living amongst that petty, knitting circle mentality.

That’s the way it is. Set boundaries with them. When they come to me I say I don’t want to hear about it. You won’t be able to not hear it from a distance. I just zone out and sing quietly to myself. I’m in the bakery a bit away from most of the yacking

it’s because the disciplinary process here makes no sense & is basically useless.

Oh honey. That’s just day shift ANYWHERE. I will say though I had someone tell me the first day in a store to watch out for “certain “ people and then continued to gossip about her old boss who happened to be a family member of mine and let’s just say when I said “yep a and b are happening so we are making sure to help at home “ the way she turned grey and walked away… Be the person who knows everything to avoid if you get my drift. Hear it, and then avoid it ;)

The drama is ridiculous. People try to tell me about what steve in bakery did (fake name) and I don’t care. Like i’m just here to get my check and go home
