Vent About Your Job Here

[Dexter Morgan]

I vent sooo much about my job, I decided to start a thread for job venting. People can come here ,and let it rip about their job, and coworkers.

I'll start us on our way......

As some of you know yesterday we had a freak snow storm here. It was dead as hell at work, and the roads got really bad, and my boss kept me my entire shift. It pissed me off, because I stood around doing absolutely nothing for 2 hours. Long story short.... I was still pissed when I went to work this morning.

When I got there, I noticed that the sink in the back that has sanitizer for the dishes was filthy, so I drained it (like you do). OK..... it was disgusting.... it looked like somebody dumped a pot of coffee in it. So my asshole boss says to me(real snotty) "Why did you drain the sanitizer sink?" Remember I was pissed, so I said in a VERY snotty tone "because it was filthy" She says it came out of the tap that way" and I says "it didn't come out that way in my lobby bucket, it's clean" So, she starts to say more, and I cut her off, and said "well is that sanitary? because it doesn't look sanitary to me" and I said it LOUD so everybody in the dining room heard it. It dropped like a sack of potatoes LMAO!!! She never said another word about it. 

OK,guys let'er rip!!!

Well, I can't really say anything bad about the job I have now cuz my boss is an absolute sweetie and I'm the only employee but I can go on for days about my last job!

I was working at a Classic Rock radio station and had two egotistical, chemically enhanced bosses.  They were chronic pains cuz they were lazy and never remembered anything due to the chemical enhancements they chose to entertain themselves with.  It was soooooooo high school, you know?

Anyway, I had a call-in trivia show that I was doing in the mornings.  My air shift was 9-2 and I always did the trivia at 10.  They knew this!  It was their friggin idea!  Anyway, we only had 2 phone lines at the station and they would come in at 10 and make all their sales calls during the time I was doing my trivia portion of the program.  NO ONE COULD CALL IN!!!!

I complained and they told me that I could always give out my cell number and the listeners could call me there.  Yeah, RIGHT!!

So I went on the air and gave out their cell numbers!  ~Giggle~  Needless to say, they stopped making their sales calls during my trivia portion of my show!

What kind of hell did you catch over that?

Oh, they were majorly pissed!!  At least I sobered them up, though

asswipes anyway!!! They deserved it. 

[tallulahdahling]

Oh, you don't know the half of it -- I could fill up this entire thread with stories about their sorry asses.  They made my life complete HELL!!  I was such a moron to put up with it.  But I learned, honey.  I learned!!!!

Dish sister!!!! I'd love to hear about it. 

[tallulahdahling]

Which one you wanna hear about?

There was the time I caught one of them chopping up coke on his desk.

Almost caught one of them banging a co-worker in the bathroom.

Was confronted by one of their wives as to whether or not I had any info on his "extra-curricular" activities.

Was called before the board of directors and asked if I had any information about misappropriation of funds.

Got a 3 am phone call from one of them needed to be bailed out of jail.

Had to rescue one of them from security at a local casino after he was found drunk and half naked in the elevator.

Shall I continue?

Jesum Crow!!!!  Sounds like there was never a dull moment at that job.  I bet you miss all of that.

Well today I have the last scheduled parent/teacher conference.  Now mind you, I did my conferences 4 weeks ago.  These idiots just can't seem to get it together and get in here to talk about their lazy kid.  Where does he get it?  Hmmmm one can only guess!  I do hope they show up.  This does not make it easy since he is on my retention list and by law I have to meet with them!!!

[Sandy Eggo]

Ohhh Good luck w/that kimmi. Not as a teacher, but I've worked w/parents long enough to know that they're often worse than the kids. IF he needs to be retained, that's only going to help him. Maybe he can grasp it better second time around and not only will it build his confidence, but prepare him better for the transition to the next grade. Retention isn't the best case scenario, but even when you have parents who work with their kids sometimes the kids do poorly because the kid doesn't chose to hold up their end of the bargain. Parents and teachers can only lead them to the water. So, it's refreshing to me to hear that there's still a school that will retain and give them a chance to do better/mature.  Having lived in Maryland and California, they both do social promotion. (I think that's what it's called). It all catches up w/them at the end. When they're ready to graduate and don't have their credits. Maybe that's better. (shrug).

Anyway, good luck.

BTW, I don't have a vent about my job. I like to complain about it, because it's fun to whine a bit and healthy too I think, but overall, it's not that bad. I enjoy the work, even if it's not my life's calling and I have a great boss and I love my co-workers. The one hag that likes to spread her foul moods all over the place is leaving for another job at the end of the month. Life is good.

[Mr442]

Ya know, I could piss an moan about various things, but after almost 35 years, most of them aren't worth the effort.  Like I always say, "it could be worse."  As a matter of fact, I guess I should feel lucky I've had a job all this time.  Many friends were not so fortunate and are still struggling to pay the bills this very day.  I, and many others, are being pushed into retirement a little earlier than planned, but it's not going to make a huge difference, it might even make things better in the long run.  I could complain about my health insurance costs going up, but I still have it, and at a much better rate than many outside this company, so I'll just make the best of it.  I guess the thought of actually retiring from here and starting up a business of my own has me feeling pretty good lately.  I've been smiling everyday that I come in, knowing it will be one step closer to getting away from some of the ignorance of corporate America.

[tallulahdahling]

AMEN 442!  Now that's a strong, healthy attitude to have--med free, I'll bet 

[Dexter Morgan]

KFC got turned on its ear!!!! We have a guy from corporate that comes in 2 times a year to give our stores a performance review. I found out today, that from now on the usual guy from corporate, will no longer be doing our reviews. The KFC corporation has hired a company that aren't employed by KFC.  Kind of like being oursourced in a way? Of course everything is in an uproar, because these new inspectors are extremely by the book. They have a completely different set of standards. I don't know why this all happened, unless corporate thought that there was favoritism being shown. I think to an extent there was. I've got a feeling we're in for it. Our store is far from by the book. I try to do things by the book as much as I can though. It ought to be interesting to say the least.
