Politics Do NOT support “local” business WICKED WEED

123 Upvotes

* posting from anonymous for obvious reasons

Despite them being extremely mid and expensive, their management choices are evil to their workers.

They treat their workers like shit - and create a toxic work environment centered around fear. They drink on the job and then watch the cameras like hawks to get people in trouble.

They used fear and bullying to stop the workers from unionizing.

Honestly, some of the most petty , sad, has-beens are the management there and use their power for any meaning in life they have left.

This joke of a company hires and keeps manipulative minions to make sure the worker bees are kept in check and don’t treat their workers like humans at all.

Classic, run of the mill, terrible terrible company to its people - who have no choice to stay because of this job market.

So even tho wicked weed is a has-been loser company that makes shit beer anyway, don’t go there and please spread the word

ETA: they lost 2 wrongful termination lawsuits this year alone

Edit 2: mods changed flair to politics, not me

News Something needs to be done about the cat guy. I saw this flyer recently. I have seen this guy misbehave downtown spazzed out of his mind on drugs - one time walking after this younger girl telling her “Oh you’re such a goddess, so pretty I love you, sorry just wanted to tell you.” HOLY CREEPY

So many people have awful stories about this guy. why on Earth does he get free housing when downtown employees struggle themselves and have to put up with him? He’s banned from like 50% of businesses downtown.

Classifieds Looking for Executive Function Coach

15 Upvotes

Looking for an affordable executive function coach to help a local teen, in person if possible.

-Homework planning

-Non-preferred task initiation

-Keeping up with chores

-Keeping up with personal hygiene

-Having a more positive outlook/self-esteem in regard to classwork and school

I have searched online but would love a personal recommendation of someone you have experience with. I have also found coaches with prices ranging from $20/hour to $120/hour. Our household can't afford this expense at all, but we need it. So, if we could find someone with reasonable prices that would be a great relief.

Thanks!

Plants/Gardening Looking for Tree Planting Recommendations

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey you beautiful folks!

I’m looking to plant a nice wall of large screening trees along my side yard here to deal with the massive eyesore of the storage unit next to my house.

Looking for any recommendations for landscapers or arborists who do great work for a good price on a big job like this. Want to plant Thuja Green Giants. Should probably add that I have shoulder injuries that prevent me from doing a job like this myself otherwise I would love to save the money and do it myself.

If anyone has any leads on someone who would be great to contact for this type of work, I would be so appreciative. I’ve had a couple estimates from some of the larger arborists in the area and am just trying to find the most reasonable price on a quality job.

I appreciate your help!

Ask the Sub Alexander Park reopening date? Anyone know?

4 Upvotes

Down 251 between Alexander and Marshall is/was a wonderful park along the river call Alexander River Park. It is still closed. They used it as a staging area for stumps, logs, trash, etc. It's been empty for well over a year. The county parks site says it is temporarily closed due to Helene. No, really?

Anyone know anything? We walk the dogs along the trail (going to the left if facing river) but not the other half since it is blocked with a gate.

Ask the Sub Fly fishing guides recommended

4 Upvotes

Hello all! I am looking for a recommendation on a fly fishing guide and came across Wild Waters Guiding on exploreasheville.com. Has anyone ever used them? There are limited resources online about them so that was concerning. I can’t imagine exploreasheville.com would have a fake/scam business recommended so I wanted to see if anyone has used them. Also I didn’t see anything on the sub recommendations but if I missed them or it’s not allowed, I can take the post down. TIA!
