When Canada Post went on strike, it was chaos. People weren’t getting their cards, so the bank switched to FedEx, only for them to get so overwhelmed they couldn’t keep up either. In the end, they started sending cards to branches through internal delivery.

Meanwhile, we were getting hundreds of calls a day from people demanding answers. Some days there’d be 300+ in queue, all fuming about cards they hadn’t received.

Ever worked through a meltdown like that where nothing seemed to go right?

Oh yeah, when the company messes up, it becomes our fault. You know, the people at the bottom making minimum-wage who had nothing to do with those decisions 😆 we are definitely the people who should get yelled at!

Right?? It’s wild how the ones with no say in decisions are the ones taking the heat from customers.

Graduated in 2020, wanted to be a graphic designer, took a job at a startup in a social media role. The boss called me the "r" word for not handling entire 13-ish accounts roster well by myself. I quit. Found a role as social media specialist. Realized (again) that I hate social media. Moved to in-house mktg manager, only to be a glorified graphic designer / someone to call the city to cut down trees. I job hopped too much, I feel my portfolio is empty. How do I restart again? I feel defeated.

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.
