On that basis, everything that has ever been made or will be made is "Limited"

Limit: “as many as we can sell”

we have an employee referral program that provides massive bonuses after 30 days of employment. I've referred dozens of people over the years, 25% or so have been hired and met the requirement. I've received one bonus. Fucking horseshit. Slimy corporate bastards.

We put this on one time during our beach trip this summer and it was stuck on my head the rest of the week. And now it is again.

@WhiskeySandwich that sucks but seems like the norm these days. I worked at Wendy’s in high school and if we worked over time they would just put 40 hours on your check. Then they would move your “overtime” hours to the next pay period so they didn’t have to pay you the extra for working overtime.

Well, that’s illegal. Unfortunately, statue of limitations is two years.

@northsouthdenimguy yep l, realized that after the fact but then I just started calling out haha. Pretty much did it to everybody there. And it’s been about 25 years

Update:
Well, I barked this up the tree to HR with some help. After initially getting bullshitted, we took it higher, and I'm happy to report that it was quickly rectified. They're currently processing more IH fun-coupons for me for my overlooked bonuses....just in time for the holidays.Still a bit disheartening that ground level HR is so quick to deny, and you have to raise anything to get it dealt with appropriately. Really glad they fixed it tho.

There was a lot on the line and it was worth putting up a fight. It seems once an organization reaches a certain size, they adopt a policy of fuck-the-pawns by default. It was almost too easy once I got above that threshold....weird

well we cant have that now

Building a very small deck for my entry way and needed a little bit of lumber. I know better than to go to Lowe’s for this but I have a location near my house and thought I could make do being a small project. The collection of damaged and warped boards was mind boggling… after over an hour of sifting through a pile of misfits and then being told they had “plastic?!?” joist hangers in stock (somehow they were out of galvanized steel hangers
) I got the fuck out of there and went to an independent lumber dealer. Over an hour drive away but quality product and there was a grizzly 70 year old with 3 lifetimes of knowledge working there that I could have kissed.
Fuck off Lowes

@steelworker my mantra these days

@flannel-slut yeah Lowe’s lumber is pretty shit. I’ve found a better spot, closer to home, but they charge a good 30% more. Fuhhhhh
