So I had every intention to write about my first day of my new job at Toys R Us, but I must confess I’m a little afraid to. Today was day one of a two-day orientation covering all that boring corporate stuff like sexual harassment and work safety and such. Typical stuff you’re bound to get from any job. But one thing that caught me off guard was that they actually had a section dedicated to blogs and stuff, warning us to watch what we say about the company online. Apparently they’ve had some trouble in the past with that stuff. I guess some dork wrote a web comic about his time there or something and it got him fired…. Okay, no, not really. But I was just waiting for “Shortpacked!” to come up. (One day in and I already have a better understanding for that comic.) Seriously, though, I guess some guy really dissed Babies R Us online and it caused some issues. So now there are a bunch of rules and such … Honestly, it’s a lot more trouble then it’s worth to me, so I think I’m going to remain mum for the most part. So, I guess what I’m trying to say here is that I ain’t sayin’ nothin’. Still plenty of other stuff to write about, but don’t expect to read much here about TRU.
And just to cover my own butt here, the views and opinions of this blog are mine and mine alone. They do not reflect the views of Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Kids R Us, R Us, or anyone else other then me. Bla bla bla, please don’t sue anyone. So there.
PS: Yeah, remember Kids R Us? They mentioned it in the training video we had to watch. I had forgotten all about KRU.
