I get annoyed when people are making posts that are shocked that Shane pulled Ilya. And like maybe, /maybe/, Shane locked down Ilya (there’s an argument that Ilya ‘domesticity kink’ Rosanov locked himself down as soon as he could get Shane to agree to it) but Shane did not pull Ilya, Ilya pulled Shane.
Canonically Shane is one of the hottest men in the world, he’s rich, he is at the top of his high intensity career, and he has the biggest saddest wettest most beautiful brown eyes out of anyone on the planet. The moment Ilya saw a scrap of interest he was arranging for them to be in a commercial and jerking off in the shower at him. Ilya watched this man fold his pants one (1) time and thought “well i gotta fuck him forever now”. Shane tried to say there wouldn’t be a next time and Ilya was like it’s too late, I’ve got your number, you’re never getting rid of me, if I annoy you enough you will come organize my socks as like a sex thing.
it always just blows my mind how foreign of a concept “a permanent weekly schedule” is in food service/retail/etc jobs, despite being the obviously best way to do scheduling
literally our parent company cannot comprehend that all our stores schedule this way and have no intention of changing because its the best
they were so adamant about “you HAVE to make a new schedule every week” that our director of ops basically had to say “just send me you permanent schedule every week and I’ll say you’re doing it”
which worked a little too well apparently because now they’re giving us a new software to post our “weekly” schedules to so all employees can know when they’re supposed to work. despite the fact that. they already know when they’re supposed to work. because the schedule doesn’t change.
and i really do mean it’s the best way because from the employees side:
always know when you’re scheduled because it’s the same every week
easy to track your hours because they’re the same every week
don’t need to worry about being scheduled when you’re not available because it’s the fucking same every week
easier to get time off and shifts covered in advance because you always know what days you’d need off ahead of time
easier to schedule around school
easier to have a second job since your availability here won’t change
if you need to change your schedule you can just talk to one of the managers ahead of time
and from the management side:
pretty much all of the above makes our lives easier
always know how many people you have working
so we generally know ahead of time if we’re gonna be short staffed and need to ask for extra help
we know if we should start hiring again/how many people we need to hire based on how many shifts are open on the schedule
also, it’s strongly incentivized not to run low on staff since we have to be in the stores running them all the time, so if we’re short it fucking sucks for us too
and, since we’re in the store all the time, we can tell which shifts don’t need any more people too
and despite how many times we explained this to the higher-ups at Inspire they just. don’t fucking get it. and keep finding new ways to waste our time pretending to run our stores the way the want. it’s actually infuriating.
It’s because inconsistent staggered schedules are useful for preventing labor organizing.
