Today I learned that when Home Depot's website says that a product is "in stock and available" at my local store, that doesn't mean it's actually, y'know, there. Instead, if it's not on a shelf, according to the employee I asked, it means that you can order it online, then come pick it up in a day or two.

Super.

Also...
The people in the orange vests have ESP when it comes to knowing you are approaching for help, and immediately run away.
All the checkouts are self, which I hate. Yet there's always 3-4 employees just standing there to see if you are stealing.
Open a register and ring my stuff up, idoits.

If I even need positive reinforcement to an inferior smoke, this will do.

I've had tastier looking meatloaf, and this just looks like pre sliced meatloaf.
It looks like he put tomato paste on it and put it in the oven? I'm not even sure what makes brisket look like that

Yes. I have hit a brick wall with work, and my ethic and ideas and emails are not going to positively change anything.

I wear too many hats, the hours suck. It's just roadblocks trying to make processes better. I've written countless technical manuals here, manage people, design systems, handle pay, find compliance issues...and it's never enough, there is no thanks. Just countless audits. And you are only ever audited by pricks with way less experience to find some bullshit non-conformity or what they think is a non-conformity, and so then you have to school them to save your job.

Then you get pushback. You weren't nice enough.

There's far too much regulation. Buried in company policy, email directives, national regs, intl regs, state regs. Treaties. Committee memorandums. Circulars. Every facet of the job is regulated.

I'm ready for change.

Question for SF, I have an evaluation tomorrow with my superior. I am likely going to have a conversation about leaving during that time. Am I naive?

I know that there is shared frustration over the workings and trajectory of the company we work for. I have worked and grown under him for over 4 years now. I do consider him a friend at this point.

I would like to use him as a reference in applications I am currently working on, and I don't want to leave without having a conversation, so I feel that it is appropriate.
