ok so i'm going to vent a little....or a lot....
at work for the past 2 weeks we have either worked 1 or 2 hours of overtime *per day*
today we walk into a 11 million dollar day which is huge for us, BUT they dont have enough people in another dept that feeds us our product to give us everything we need. so 6 of us head over there to do their job for the first 2 hours of our day. THEN we go start our job, our second crew comes in to have to actually work and of course they bitch (note: my crew is the cream of the crop of our workers, second crew are the slackers) they are pissed they actually have to do something. i let this go....
i finally start what should have been my job for the day only to be pulled off to help another department finish their work, me and 4 other guys. growl...
This is when they decide that we will be working another 2+ hours of overtime since *my* dept "can't get their work done". this is also where i go basically... well... ballistic
Firstly, they booked us with too much work. not unusual but a pain in the ass. Then they take half our crew to work someone else's job for the first 2 hours. my crew, we bust our asses to get the job done. we dont get any more pay than the second crew but there is a pride thing (and those of you who know me know this is a big deal)
then i have to go to another dept to help then finish and THEN i catch crap about not finishing what i should have been doing all along?!?!?!
but my boss is awesome and bought us icecream....and let us sit in her airconditioned office (i work in an un-a/c warehouse) and she's hot so it made things mostly better.
i guess what i'm ranting about is having to pick up the slack of people who dont take pride in anything. i mean, if you take pride in something atleast make it your livelyhood....it pays the bills! i'm tired of pulling the weight of people i consider buddies since they know i'll bust my ass to get it done...
Oh, and second crew didnt have to work any overtime today...they got off when they were supposed to
AND i'm off to go drink beer.......to those of you who made it all the way through this entry, i owe you a drink the next time i see you. thanks for reading the rant!
