MattAlthough obviously I'm still mentally adjusting to taking redundancy and have up and down days about it, one thing I am enjoying is a good run of days without the the relentless stress induced brain fog I was suffering. Hard to describe feeling like everything is clear, defined, light and normal being a joy but it is.
treyI imagine the most stressful job ever would be sound board operator for The Grammys. There's no way 100% of attendees will all agree you did a great job. #grammys #jobstress
Eric FoltinDomino’s and the Cost of Staying
Daily writing promptWhat do you complain about the most?View all responses There’s a special kind of tired you only get from a place that sells food fast and respect slow. That’s Domino’s. I know because I’m still there, still clocking in, still wondering how this became a long-term situation instead of a bad chapter I already closed. Every shift starts with noise. Ovens screaming. Phones ringing. Screens flashing like you’re defusing a bomb made of cheese. Then comes the hat. The […]https://ericfoltin.com/2026/01/30/dominos-and-the-cost-of-staying/

Fio Firefox🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🐾The last two days at work have really pushed me hard. Yesterday was honestly the worst day at work since I first started at this office. (And I’ve had some really bad days in the past.)
Today just started off badly. I received a verbal reprimand for doing something that other ppl have been doing daily for years. My boss called me and gave me a heads up before the reprimand came down from Corporate. I sincerely apologized and said it would not happen again and that I would let everyone else know that the matter cannot be repeated by anyone else. (That didn’t go over well but that’s not my problem.)
My boss said not to put too much into it but don’t allow it to happen again. I said “You have to be the one to tell everyone else as that’s outside my job duties.” I’m not making that point b/c I don’t want to deal with it but simply that at the end of the day, I’m still an hourly employee. I may have other responsibilities but I also recognize my limits.
I don’t love it when I get dragged into discussions at my home office about staffing and employee performance. I don’t know why there is an expectation that an employee can be pulled into another position, which does require a bit of skill and/or experience to perform, and wonder why said employee is “underperforming. They’re doing the best they can and even if they’re not, it’s not their regular job.
Yes, I understand that our client has expectations but when the client is presenting unreasonable expectations on one or more of my crew members, it makes me a bit angry. My crew is doing the best they can. Especially, considering the difficult work conditions we sometimes endure, I’m grateful for everything they do.
