today I met a rhino vet!
Sadly, he didn't bring any rhinos along.
Did he bring heartbreaking stories about animals being left to die with their faces chopped off?
no, but he did tell us about lions who wandered down from Etosha and got killed by locals. Apparently they're embarking on a mass dehorning program to try and save the local rhino subspecies.
And also if you're a driver for Papa John's and you get robbed and they get more than like $20-30 (I forget the number, less than $50) you're fired because company policy is you shouldn't have that much cash on you
Man fuck Papa John's
I know this is petty and silly and not important
but they threw a bunch of money at the MLB to make them call grand slams "papa slams" instead
and it's just the dumbest thing in the world and I hate it
also their pizza sucks
Serious question: why do I hear so many different reviews of Papa John's pizza? Is it a franchising thing, like with some Arby's being good and others being terrible?
It's a franchise, like a lot of big pizza delivery places.
Their pizza is like, one step above Little Caesars, but at least Little Caesars has the benefit of being dirt cheap.
Hot take: Little Caesars is actually better than papa johns if you get the pizza freshly made.

Looks like the slide is locked back (the silver tip at the front end of the gun is the exposed barrel), the gun is inoperable in that situation. Now either there is a fresh magazine in the gun and a quick flip of a switch will make it operable scary fast, or the gun is empty. Now it looks like there is a bullet visible in the top of the magazine, so while the gun isn't immediately dangerous its still no laughing matter.
It looks like when the slide is racked, in theory charging the gun, a bullet is picked up from the magazine and jams on the edge of the barrel (maybe a double feed?), keeping the slide held back and rendering the gun not immediately functional.
Probably easily and quickly fixed by racking the slide again, but not able to shoot until the malfunction is cleared.
If the guy actually knew how to handle a gun, he wouldn't have racked the slide that slowly in the first place.
A lot of the time he'd have to lock the slide back, take out the magazine, let the round fall, reseat the mag, and most cases rack the slide again
But in any case the clerk handled that the right way
Am I the only one that thinks the clerk looked super bored through that whole exchange?

One of my favorite things about the site is that they've got a really good and supportive community of professionals looking to help younger people out, so my advice to your wife is to search the archives for any question she has and then read all the comments in addition to the article. This isn't YouTube, and bad advice usually gets called out pretty quickly.
Performance reviews at my office are a complete fucking joke. Aside from the fact that they get later and later every year (It's supposed to be on your work anniversary, and now it's taking up to a month and a half later), the main problem is that the company owner does all of them. The company is currently about fifty people or so, the owner isn't a direct manager of anyone other than the senior-most people. And me? I only talk to the guy for about five minutes a year, and that's at the performance review. Last year I don't think it even lasted that long.
To make things worse, our company is set up so that tech leads manage projects - not people. There's times when I've been reporting to three different tech leads at once, never mind over the course of a full year. In other words, there's literally no one at the company but me who's actually aware of what all I've been working on over the course of a given year.
I have absolutely no idea how the report cards for our performance reviews are put together. I'm pretty sure the owner doesn't even know what project I'm working on at any given moment.
Yeah I think he's one of the shitfaces, with mcdonalds, that did the whole "well each store is its own franchise so I technically don't set the rules for how they pay their employees" garbage.
bowen on

I'm pretty sure he's proudly supported keeping wages low in the past.
I think he specifically said he didn't want to offer health care to his employees because it'd raise the cost of pizza by a dime.

To be fair, I would definitely never buy pizza again if it was ten cents more expensive. That's just a fact.

Went home early because the HVAC system was still blowing bad fumes from hours after the fire was put out. Everyone working near the vents was lightheaded, burning throat, headache, stinging eyes. We had a corporate rep there who just decided to open the store at one point, none of us ever saw the city official we'd been told over and over again we were waiting on. I have a feeling this is gonna end up being a big deal.

I cannot remember entering your building's underground parking garage any time in the last 15 years.

Mike Ilitch (the Little Caesars founder) was a huge Detroit booster. Moved his HQ downtown, fixed up an old theater to make it a cultural venue again again, yes also to owning the sports teams but he intentionally kept them downtown even when all the other sports owners were trying to move them to suburbs or more profitable cities, built a park, invested in businesses and entire developments while everyone else was fleeing Detroit. The man loved his city even as it was being seen as a symbol of urban decay and worked like crazy to save it.
Also paid Rosa Parks' rent for the last decade of her life, and did it quietly, so people didn't hear about it until years after her death. Since he didn't announce it loud and publicly, he obviously wasn't doing it for attention or kudos. Parks was pretty destitute in her last years so for Ilitch, it was just the right thing to do.

And then you have Papa John, who gets blackout drunk at football games and brags about having a giant rotating elevator under his house to store all his cars.
The only time I ever eat Papa John's is if it has already been paid for by a third party.
I'd rather eat a still frozen Kroger Brand piece of pizza bread than do anything to line that fuckers pockets.

And also if you're a driver for Papa John's and you get robbed and they get more than like $20-30 (I forget the number, less than $50) you're fired because company policy is you shouldn't have that much cash on you
Man fuck Papa John's
It is, in theory, a safety issue. You getting robbed of that much money makes other drivers inherently less safe, they look like better targets now. In ages bygone if a driver got robbed of less than $20, corporate policy was to make sure the amount was published, since that made their drivers seem like bad targets.
But also Papa John's was the first pizza company to reclass their drivers as tip-credit so they didn't have to give them raises like ~10 years ago. They didn't want to bump them from $6.55 to $7.25. Managers in the stores generally supported the idea, because drivers were already making as much as most managers were (factoring in tips but not salary bonuses). Now drivers make ~$5 and managers still make like maybe $40k, plus bonus (store general managers, every one else is in-store is hourly and probably doesn't clear $18/hr most places).
Yeah I spent a lot of time working for PJs over the years, I know some shit

What if someone paid for their pizzas in cash? Could pretty easily get over $50 in a single delivery.

Ah but you see you're not supposed to leave the store with more than two orders at a time! So if they got more than your previous order +$20, you fucked up.
It's....it's political bullshit that's ultimate goal is only to reduce costs to the company by way of saying "yes we will require all sorts of bullshit of our employees in exchange for you charging us a few pennies less."

It was the same at Dominos. We weren't supposed to leave the store with more than our £10 float and had to cashdrop everything above that.
Which caused problems when someone tried to pay for a £25 order with two £20 notes. I often had to use my own money out of my car to cover change when I was short.
Picking a fight with the guy on the pizza station over one mistake and firing him on the spot was bad.
What's worse is that you did it approximately five minutes before the 70 person pizza party (teenagers) was supposed to start on a Sunday night; somehow worse than that was that you did it ON THE FUCKING LINE in full view of every line cook and at least five servers. The fact that the entire conversation took 30 seconds of back and forth yelling does little to mitigate the damage of losing one of the hardest working cooks you have ... and the guy is barely 21 years old, was proficient on almost every station and showed up to every shift with a smile.

Unless he threatened to kill or hurt someone, you should have diffused the situation and resorted to some form of corporately mandated discipline.

My day has started off great with my 2tb USB drive seeming to be fucked. For the past hour or so it just wouldn't show up in My Computer at all, now it is but trying to access things leads to my file explorer hanging. So that's all my work and more importantly all my photos/videos since the start of 2017 potentially lost.
It might have something to do with my colleague dropping the fucking thing on a concrete floor yesterday. I know it was an accident but I'm finding it hard not to be really pissed off with him right now.
Brovid Hasselsmof[Growling historic on the fury road]Registered Userregular
On the upside I just checked and found I still have all my photos from February onwards on my laptop, so I've only lost the stuff from January which wasn't much. So that is a HUGE relief if still not ideal. I can redo all the work, I can't retake the photos.
