Well my boss's boss told me if I don't get something corrected my job is in jeopardy.   I didn't sleep a wink last night.

Yeah, no shit. Fucking hell.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, because they bust the balls of the hardest working people, while others fucking float with no repercussions..
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

Is this something you can correct or is even your problem Joe? Ultimatums like that are not cool.

I don't blame you, Joe. I've been in some shitty situations job-wise and don't wish that kind of stress on anyone. I hope it's a situation within your power to fix and that it comes easily. No one deserves that kind of unnecessary pressure and anxiety, especially not someone who very obviously cares a great deal for his work, reputation, and execution. Pulling for you.

Yeah, unless this is something that's been brought to your attention before and you've just been ignoring it letting it fester (which sounds about as far away from your style as can be), that's a pretty terrible way to go about "managing".

It's staffing issues.  We can't sort by the quality the DC wants.  They never had complaints before but because the Security manager is doing the audits with me we are failing. Problem is the pallets are so beaten up that it's hard to give them enough good pallets back to support them.

That doesn't matter to my bosses and since my bosses boss is not involved I got that call.  We are in the business to get it fixed so that's what i have to do.  It's a daunting task when we can't staff correctly.

Nope.  I need to fix it and the next audit better be good or else I was told.  First time I've been put in this position.

Joe, I feel for you, man. It always comes down to staffing and payroll.

You've got this. Shitty way of handling it by management but you're more than capable.

Another awesome week, PSU bball went 2-0 again (8 game win streak, this is the best PSU basketball team I've ever seen), a new low on the scale with another great workout this morning, three day weekend, valentines day being celebrated tomorrow... oh and Queensryche with John 5 tonight at my local ballroom  :metal :metal The hype for tonight is legit when John 5 rewtweeted me as well.  Oh and since I had a BOGO deal on the ticket, my extra sold last night making my ticket cost about 10 bucks (and the other person got a slightly below face value ticket).  Fuck yea, I feel like I'm on a legit 3 week long hot streak.

First day at the new job. Wish me luck.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Oh boy. Hit the ground running today. It really helps that the girl training me  really knows her shit. I guess she's only been with company a year but goddamn she's good.

Also... I'm already getting harassed by the old job to bring back all of the items (car, phone, laptop) they "assigned" to me.

It's a 2 hour drive and there's also a full blown bicycle in my possession they never got from me. So they are not going to be happy when I tell them to come get it all.

You take offence at this?  Why didn't you give everything back on your final day?  You quit the job so I thought it was normal practice to return your items when leaving.

Because of a few things. I have stuff (more than one car load) that I've been trying to get back to the office from before I took this position (from the account I ran that we lost back In October). It's been at my house since Halloween.
My conversation with one of the owners, when I put my notice in, included me holding on to the car for maybe a few weeks (as they have multiple vehicles not being used at the moment) so I can fill in shifts if possible. Which I completely intended to do if they lined up with my schedule.

The last thing... It was discussed... Them driving someone up to me and picking up the car. Again it's a 2-3 hour drive and I have no way to get home after I do so.

If they said something like "when can we pick up the car?" or something like that, I would have NO issue.

You've cut ties with them mate and decided to leave and start a new job.  Return the possessions and be done with it.  Move on mate.  Forget the specifics behind it, nothing will come of it except anger and bitterness.  It's not worth it, focus on your new chapter.

Good luck with the new gig, but I'm with wolfking, give the stuff back and move on.  I'm not sure why it's "getting harassed" when you have items including a car that are owned by the old company. Sounds like they have some right to harass you for their stuff back.  If you can work a way for them to come and get it, cool, but don't be annoyed when they keep harassing you until their items are returned.
