Nothing like being responsible for the personal training of your boss’ niece. No pressure. Personally, I’d ask for some monetary compensation for becoming a trainer!

my boss stopped having me train people. It’s not that I was a bad trainer, it’s mostly that I’m needed elsewhere in the store. (aka, as one of the few men in the store, guess who gets to haul boxes of crap around) that said, I usually end up training people for the photolab. I may be your average slacker checker, but I am a BEAST with those photo machines. probably saved the store thousands in repair costs.
It helps that I am actually a photographer (by training, not by trade, as illustrated by the mentions of checkers and lugging boxes) so surprise surprise, I actually know what I’m doing.
rambly 130am comment is rambly.
LOL, my mate’s boss likes to hire people who don’t have any experience. He says that he likes to train them, but it’s my mate who always winds up with the job of training. My mate says it’s not that his boss really likes to train people, (especially since it’s never actually him training) he just likes to have someone to yell at when things go wrong. So if the new trainee messes up it’s my mate who get’s yelled at for not training them right.
Luckily this time around his bosses boss said that he needs to actually hire someone with previous experience. My mate’s really happy but his boss has really been grousing about it though.
Good boss story:
My first semester as a TA (in grad school) the department head’s wife signed up for the course I’d been assigned. When he noticed this, he rearranged the teaching assignments do that he had that course.
Uh oh, Rye’s gonna have quite the test of his heart strings.
Training can be tricky depending on the skill level of the person you’re training. I have known folks that all the training in the world couldn’t help. (Hint).
Anyhoo… I can see you all have some training stories… hee hee. Isn’t the workforce fun?
Then it goes from bad to worse – Ryan gets laid off and owners relative takes his place.
happened to me in the same business
I’m just wondering how Grace would go about training someone.
Heh heh heh…already anticipating that one in a comic!
If you think training someone is bad, try giving an evaluation on someone who is making an effort, but is just incompetent. The boss doesn’t let me do evaluations anymore.
Feather? As a name?…erk. Feather with lovey-dovey eyes full of Rye desire??…uh oh.
Firstly, nothing like extra work without extra pay.
Secondly, what’s worse, an office romance with the boss’s niece going sour, or a vindictive niece of a boss going on a vengeful warpath over her romantic crush being rejected?
That squid suit is looking better.
suspense-thriller vibes… Did Tina actually quit, or did Feather bump her off?
Mr Ryan. So, do we discover Ryan is not his first name? Or is the boss merely using the “Mr.” incorrectly as is now so often the case. IE:” Pastor Bob”, or” Doctor Jim”? And if so, will we discover Ryan’s first name? (I hope I haven’t missed something in past episodes)
Oops… Just read the character page. So, the boss is using the famiar rather than the more correct “Mr. Goodfellow” My bad. (blush)
Justice… NO! … no justice for Justice!
Dada… heeeyah… Grace would probably show up late, take a smoke break ten minutes in… and give the new-hire a manual and leave.
Stick… no extra pay is right… Tina was a call-in-sick-er… the writing was gonna be on the wall.
Lee…. No blushing. Ryan’s boss is just using “Mr. Ryan” as something like what you described.
