User ID: 64243088 United States 12/24/2014 01:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am a carpenter. It's sort of hard to fake it in my industry. I hired a guy with twenty plus years for a framing job, he figured out how to drag ass but always look busy. I hired a former office rat and pizza boy who is now a successful plumber. Moreover, he was becoming a damn good carpenter because he wanted to work! He enjoyed it! Quoting: Jäger67 So, I don't know. I think everyone drag asses once and awhile. I do sometimes. You just sort of don't give a fuck because your client either wants the impossible or is constantly on site making waves. Those are the times that I sort of start to grind and not hustle, because you'll never make that spoiled ex-cheerleader happy---no matter what you do! On the other hand, I'd fucked up framing a very ornate door and the old guy I was doing it for, a Jewish ophthalmologist, just laughed and said, "Oh no worries. If they notice that screw 'em." You are correct... we certainly all have been guilty of laziness or not working when we are supposed to. I've actually been looking at trades lately... considering locksmith. I'd like a job where, when I'm done my work for the day, I don't get another persons work dumped on me because they were slacking all day and knew I'd just do their work... and then being lectured about team work when I bring my concerns to the supervisor. I really feel like this is such a cliche complaint, especially for GLP. No one likes their job. I know there are soooooo many others like me who are dealing with the same bullshit. I guess the difference with me is that I won't tolerate it. I'm not going to be one of those people who has shitty days and then goes home and bitches about it. That's why I quit my gov't job of 6 years and moved here. I joined the private sector because generally people are held accountable for their shitty work and get fired when necessary. I want to be able to go home and feel good about what I did that day. I don't want to feel conflicted as I have been. If I don't get another job soon, there's going to be a huge blowout and this will end badly. I'm already planning to confront my co-worker on her gossip tomorrow in front of the entire office. I can't tell what's rational and what isn't. I've brought it to the sups attention before and she cuts me off, changes the subject or just doesn't bother to listen. Life's too short for this bullshit. Fuck if I'll be another sheep getting fucked at my job. I have a part time job too that I could survive off of if I needed. Work up here is easy to find. I like your attitude. It is said that a grateful heart never gets depressed. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29306235 United States 12/24/2014 01:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't normally. But it's at the point where I am ready to quit my job. I'm not going to pick up someone else's slack anymore. I can't work with someone who frequently calls in sick, is never at their desk. And when she is here, she's on fucking facebook or youtube. But when she does something that could be considered actual work, get ready for her to make a huge production out of it and announce it to the whole office. :rolleyes2: Is she schlepping the supervisor? I've never heard that term before lol. Her and the supervisor (who is also female) gossip about me all the time because I hear from others and also have seen it first hand. And I swear I'm not making this up as I go along either. They played a trick on me regarding a guy that I was into. I told the one girl, (back before I knew what a blabbermouth she is) that I was into this guy. She was the only one I told. Well the next day the supervisor played a joke on me and told me she was firing this guy... just so they could both see my reaction and laugh. Then my sup tried to lie about who told her... I pretty much lost all respect for her at that point. How petty and immature. Guess that's what fat bitches do to feel good about themselves. Dear GOD A woman gossiping about another woman, complaining of same behavior from said woman. No wonder men go fishing. Jeez OP you sure are petty. Just do your job to the best of your ability and don't worry about or focus on the way other people do their job. how's the van by the river? |

One dude was a master at not working, He worked very hard at not working. I tried for a year to get something done about it. Nothing was done. I gave 2 week notice and the next day the boss asked me to do the slacker's work. I said no and if you don;t like it, you can walk me out the door right now. He walked me out literally 1 minute after I fired off an mail to his boss explaining the situatio . A week later, the boss man was replaced. I am much happier now.

There are many other circumstantial berries that lay in the fibers of success... I think most wealthy people like to give off the illusion that they worked hard to get what they got. Self delusion, so they can see themselves as being important. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 52849936 United States 12/24/2014 10:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK Ms. Cruel, shut me out without an explanation, I have a soft spot in my heart for you so here's the lowdown... All business is based on contracts. You can have two employees with identical contracts on paper but they can be administered completely differently if the employee and the employer agree to it (generally speaking). That's reality, your contract with your employer is being administered differently than your co-worker, welcome to the real world, it happens all the time. It's happened to me in much worse ways than what you've described, worse than you could possibly imagine (I'm not exaggerating)... I did not bitch about it, I just left the job ASAP, knowing that I would never be treated fairly. Real World 101 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52883263 Good for you, that's a spitting image of my situation. Supervisors (one in particular) turn the other cheek and totally ignore it. This *stellar* employee blatantly declined to take one of her phone calls last Friday because she was busy socializing. She did it right in front of the Sup and branch manager and they did nothing. I said, "so you want me to tell them you just don't feel like taking your calls then?" out loud and they all just pretended I wasn't even there. I also get emails from people who have emailed her numerous times already with no response. She has asked me to cover for her in the past when she called in, which I immediately told my supervisor what she was up to and pointed out she was actively posting on facebook with her daughter when she was supposedly "sick". My former manager back then said "we have to get rid of her" but not only did they not get rid of her, they gave her a promotion AND a raise. Maybe you could learn something from her. What I've learned is that I need to cut people like her out of my life because it's damaging for my soul. what might help you, do not let others define you and that, right now, is exactly what you are doing: when you were ignored by your work on your Bday, the raises others have received, treatment to you by others....... I am going thru the exact same thing at my job. Its funny, we appear to work in the same sector, I never would have thought. I have a new supervisor who is a worthless piece of shit, she is a woman. I have to say, in this particular case, women supervisors are scary. They really feel the need to reinvent the wheel, micromanage every facet of my job, even though my success rate is perfect at my job, she feels the need to meddle. To make matters worse, she is an IT shithead with zero hardware integration knowledge, so I guess I am her righthand man. For now, I cant stand to be in the same room as this bitch because I have finally learned what she is all about. I don't have too much longer and never look back. I can't wait for that day. What helps me to cope with all of this? live life one day at a time and do your job irregardless of how others treat you. She insults the way I do things, but I never reply back to her. When she is walking down the hallway, I act like there is someone I need to talk with and look the other way. She really doesn't exist during my workday except when I chose to have her ruin my day. That is on me. oh, BTW, a belated Happy Birthday to you! Last Edited by Black_Jack on 12/24/2014 12:57 PM |
