Beer run gone ballistic! My newbie manager shift? Employee chases a teen thief, who chucks a...wait for it...LOADED GUN into the bushes! Employee stops, grabs it, game over. Reality check: some beer ain't worth a bullet. Wildest. Shift. Ever.

That's pretty wild! I assume nobody got hurt, which is a good thing. It's crazy how there can be a thin line between a wild story and a major tragedy. Anyway, I guess the teen thief will be legal age by the time he gets his next brew.

As a former corporate convenience store manager for many years please tell your staff not to pursue beer (or any) thieves. They could have been shot with life threatening injuries or killed all in the name of beer. Everyone wants to be a hero with a story but it may not have a good ending next time.

Woooow

It would've been funny if he got shot

That's nut nuts...never chase anybody. I used to let a homeless person sleep on the chair by the pharmacy after they closed when I worked overnights. He was a good man. Left by time they opened. Only let him bc it was freezing outside.

I'm glad everyone is ok but it is nothing but dumb luck that it worked out the way it did. Does your company have a policy for these situations? If they don't, they should, and it should be "your life is worth more than whatever a thief can make off with". That is absolutely terrifying.

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

Currently an engineer in MCOL area with 4 years experience (post graduating, not counting experience before/during college and large side gigs). I have a BS/MS/PhD in engineering and an MBA in business analytics. Currently making 100k as an engineer IV. As an engineer with a functional knowledge (but no former training) in IT and data analytics, what are the best avenues to get to 200k without changing fields and starting at an entry level position (or moving to a HCOL area)?

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
