  • All retail employees are instructed to clock in and spend 9 hours doing whatever it feels like they should be doing

    • I mean, that actually should be what people do for at least 75% of a retail shift. Just kinda mill around and do stuff that makes sense. Answer questions for customers and straighten up and shit and restock.

      • Word. I hate all the makework and busywork.

        • Out of an 8 hour retail shift basically there is maybe 1 full hour spread through that time that is actually directed work.

          So much of your day working in retail is just being told to do random meaningless bullshit or like all the job duties in an area are randomly put on one person's job role for no reason.

          I once worked as manager of a Walmart deli/bakery and exactly none of my job role was explained to me, and I was constantly being yelled at by middle managers because apparently I had to do basically all tasks in both sections, none of which were explained to me. Turns out the previous manager died of Covid which is why the job was open, and nobody else in the store actually knew what they did so just everything that went wrong in the entire food half of the store became my fault.
