ok so this is a familiar story im sure. but my jobs suck. i really think haveing three jobs and going to school, is really starting to get to me. why does it seem that the managers at all three of my jobs are incompatent. im mean sure a stupid manager at one job is to be expected, but all three? i think my threshold for shit is just way lowered due the frequency of which i have to deal with it. i guess i should cut one of my managers alittle slack. she's crazy and her business is failing misreabley. cant really complain too much about her cuz well shes crazy. besides i work there less than i work at the other places, so it gets the least amount of my ranting.
job one on the other hand. ive been dealing with a passave aggressive inexperienced indecisive general manager who for some reason (well mostly cuz im not a hot chick and cuz i actually give my opinion when i feel its relative) wont schedule me more than one or two days a week. ive told him on numerous occasions that i wanted to get rid of my other jobs so i could work only one. he keeps hireing new people and all his employees keep quitting. the only reason i stick around is cuz i actually like the work, and the money can be pretty good. i figure if i stick around long enough, everyone else will have quit and im bound to get more shifts right? after all there has never been any complaints about my performance and there is no doubt that im qualified. its just pretty obvious that he has some sort of grudge agains me - but no one is sure as to why. at first i thought it was all im my head but just about all the other employees realize it too. i really should just quit that place.
then there is job two. this job isnt really much of a job at all because all that your really required to do is be present. the amount of work is really very minamal. its really gross work, but its by no means hard. as with all my jobs part of the reason i stay there is cuz ive become pretty good friends with all my co-workers. this job isnt as rewarding as it could be, but up till recently its been the least of my problems. ive had this job the longest, almost four years i think, and untill now my managers incompetence has been inconsequential and sorta humorious. its one of those places where hes mosty adminastrative but the actual daily operations is handled by the staff. this is all good and fine untill someone fucks up, then he wants to hold someone accountable and can be very "blame" oriented. it just so happens that i got someone to cover my shift recently and that someone didnt show up on time and now im being held responsible, even though "management" approved the schedule change. i really need to get a better job.
now i know these things happen everday at every job, and every employee has to deal with it. but it doesnt make it any easier. like i said, i think my job related tolerence is very low right now. im sick of the employees always being the one to make the compramises and take the blame. i hate that im so reliant on my paycheck to function in life. im sick of not haveing any leverage in my working environment. i suppose i could always "walk out", but what does that solve? is an employer ever going to "learn a lesson" just cuz you quit? no they just hire someone else, for less, and keep right on doing what their doing.
managers are just people and people make mistakes, but im sick of people using their positions irresponsibly. the illusion of authority does not make someone unaccountable for their actions.
i really hate looking for jobs too. and its even harder when your in school. you have to find a schedule that works. plus whos to say the new job wont suck just as bad. plus i got that damn work ethic. im not sure how that happened. i dont like the idea of quitting cuz it makes me feel like i couldnt handle it, or it was too hard for me.
im sure the manager at job one expected me to quit long ago, but i wont give him the satisfaction. i dont want him to feel like he can just get his way.
i cant go into business for myself. ive got no money. so what do i do? just suck it up (and bitch to my friends) like everybody else.
