My JOB is really getting to me lately. It's getting damned rediculous.
WARNING: STEP BACK, FOLKS BECAUSE SUSIE'S ABOUT TO GET ON HER SOAPBOX!!! WILL TRY TO EDIT ALL FOUL LANGUAGE THE BEST I CAN.
*rant ON*
Anyhow...
I work at a convenient store. My boss (who was the COOLEST) just recently stepped down from store manager to assistant manager, leaving the other assistant manager (this 18 year old kid who thinks he's GOD all of a sudden) temporarily in charge until a manager from another store takes over in another week & a half. Everything that was great now seems to be going to HELL in a HANDBASKET!!! I've never had any problems w/ this kid until the other day. All of a sudden, he's getting on some kind of powertrip & it's PISSING ME OFF to the point where I'm about to WALK OUT!! First, he gets on me why a job duty wasn't done yet, which I was ABOUT to do next...and the reason I HADN'T done it yet was because I had been working on $**t that SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE SHIFT BEFORE ME YESTERDAY!!!!!!!
And it's bad enough that he has scheduled me 10 hour shifts ALL week long (which I HATE), now he's saying I cannot be late or else I will get terminated if it's more than 3 times, even if it's only ten or fifteen minutes late...when HE'S been THREE HOURS LATE on ME a few times! And I TOLD him that if he expects ME to be on time all the time, then EVERYONE ELSE BETTER be doing the same thing...INCLUDING management! You know what HIS response to that is? "The area manager is MY boss & he should be the one that gets on me. I'm YOUR boss, end of discussion." F**K THAT! Well, if he shows up so much as ONE MILLISECOND late on me, you bet your A$$ I'll be calling the area manager! You think I'm gonna let this kid who has been w/ the company only a VERY SMALL FRACTION of the time that I'VE been there (which is NINE years, btw) get away w/ $**t that I can't? HEEEEEEEELLL NO! I was so damned INFURIATED when I got home from work that morning, I was tempted to go into my kitchen & break EVERY DAMNED DISH I OWN! But I didn't. Jut THOUGHT about it.
What really upsets me is that I was just ABOUT to finally take that step to go out for assistant manager before my "cool" boss stepped down. I wanted her to train me before anyone else because I TRUST her to teach me everything CORRECTLY before anybody else in this stupid company. Now..I'm not so sure.
Well, this guy I used to work w/ at the other store is supposed to take over soon, & I PREY things get better when HE takes charge. I can almost guarantee that the $**t this kid is pulling is NOT gonna fly w/ him when he does. Cannot WAIT. Just got to suffer for a week & a half until then. If $**t doesn't improve around there & SOON, then I'm gonna see about getting on at the PRISON. If I'm gonna deal w/ BS, then at least I'd get paid better money over there!
Alright...I'm done.
*slips off soapbox, breaks leg, & wonders if this is considered "work related" so I can get workers comp for it*
