Y’know through
\nChristmas and New Year it feels like I worked my ass off. For example
\nfrom Boxing Day to Friday 4th I had New Years Day off and that was it!
\nThe week before christmas I worked an extra hour every night. I also
\nworked on two public holidays. Now for all that extra time, what did I
\nget paid? \u00a338!! What was the point! If I had worked it out I would have
\ntold him to shove the extra hours where the sun don’t shine! And they
\nhave the cheek to ask me why I didn’t look interested at work?
\nActually, when he asked me that I told him why, and, supposedly he was
\nabsolutely stunned. Basically I told him I hated the job and wanted out
\nas soon as I could find a new one, and trust me the criteria for work
\nare lowering all the time!!!!!!
\nY’know, maybe if he managed to change a few things there, I might enjoy
\nmy job! At my work, if you do not meet the ladies high standards (yeah
\nright!!! as if they’re that good!) you are bitched about and generally
\nabused, in my bosses own words “there are a couple of wars going on”.
\nNow I am not the main recipient of most of this and I don’t know how
\nthe poor girls that are can handle it. If you are not part of their
\nclique (sp???) and do anything different from them they moan, if you
\nget what is thought of as an easy job you are a target, indeed one of
\ntheir own number had a “easy job” and had to put up with badgering and
\nbitching about it.
\nThat’s only the first point. If I am a few minutes late, the manager
\nknows about it!! “He always the last in and first out”. Well I have
\nnews for you! Just because you come in early and fart around at the end
\nof your shift don’t expect me too! I am paid from 7 till 12, I don’t go
\nin early on a point of principle because I was once told to be there
\nfor ten to the hour, not if you ain’t paying me pal! Now that’s fair
\nenough, but what about certain members of the night shift? Who are
\nsupposed to start at ten, yet rarely start before 10.20?? And not a
\nword is said to them, normally. One time the assistant manager collered
\none of them and was ignored, what d’you think would happen if I tried
\nthat?
\nTea-breaks! We get a fifteen minute tea break. Fair enough. 10.15:01 we
\nnormally have the Assistant Manager breathing down our necks to get
\nback to work, fair enough. Then what about when that same manager goes
\nback to the smoking room and my collegues there are allowed to stay and
\nsmoke with him? Does that sound fair?
\nThat’s only a couple of my gripes and I’ve vitually vented my
\nspleen!!!! But does that sound like a happy, team orientated
\nenviroment?
\nLast quote from my boss, “Morale on shift is lower than a pubic hair on
\na worm”. Well said pal!!!<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
