Fix it the first time, after that make them fix it. I think they have most likely gotten in the habitat of not correcting their errors because they know someone down the line will. Basically passed the buck on quality work. Kick it back and file an non conformance or whatever quality procedures have. This way it gets tracked as to who is causing the backup/slow down.

Hey dumbass. The dryer didn't fit in your Fiat on Friday. Why do you think it'll fit today?

And I know you're worried about a miniscule scratch on a used washer, but don't get snippy with me when you ask for my help. I'm not the one trying to cram 5 tons worth of shit into a 1 ton bucket.

I can't.

The problem is where I work is the last place for this shit to go. You can't just hand this shit off to someone else, because it doesn't get done. The problem is the bundles go from one department to another. You can't just bitch at the other department, they won't do anything. Also our system doesn't allow for just dumping them to a holding area off the line.

Where I work, the only time I know and they know shit gets done is when one of three people do it, and I'm one of them.

On top of this, the department where this shit comes from gets treated like royalty while those of us an elevator ride downstairs get treated like dogshit, even though we have to clean up their messes.

It doesn't follow me home at night, I'm just tired and feeling like I've been talking to a brick wall, mostly because I may as well be lately.

I care because...well, I don't fucking know why. I just do.

Also, I need to get laid, but that's another story...one I won't go into.

sorry to hear about your crappy job those always suck, especially when that's all there is around.


as for the last item... I'm in California so I can't help you on that one.. lol

I hate when people leave voicemails where they start off with "Oh, hi..." as if they're surprised to suddenly find themselves on the phone and leaving me a voicemail.

Well, I guess the idiots that beat us in the union election took office yesterday.

I got off work at 3 and begged off the meeting, instead it was ice cream with my nephew and sitting with my terminally ill aunt till nearly midnight.

I just couldn't stand the thought of sitting there and watching a group of retards take their oaths to get three years to screw up everything that we all fought for. I told my dear friend, who was our vice president until yesterday, that I was so tired that I couldn't sit there with my mouth shut and watch these dipshits feed us crow for three or four hours and that I have little patience for liars, thieves and idiots, of which we have 7 of in office now.

My dear friend left the meeting and proceeded to get drunk instead of returning to work for four hours. Which I can't blame him...I would have done the same thing.

Only consolation is I don't have to worry about other people's problems for a while...but I do have to worry about these fucks screwing shit up so bad that we'll probably end up cleaning up a mess and having to go through a federal Department of Labor audit again. Because if the seven of us don't, it won't get done.

Right now, that's what chaps my ass. We just got everything cleaned up after the last regime and finally paid off the creditors and all the fines we owed. Only to have a bunch of idiots take over and already begin to clean out the union bank account by authorizing cell phone contracts and office space rentals, which are both illegal as fuck. Local unions are not supposed to do shit like this.

Those of us that had cell phones paid for our own charges, we never charged anything back to the local as far as cell phones, office supplies or phone calls. Hell, we didn't even charge mileage back for travel to arbitrations. Only things we charged back were lost work time and hotel/food expenses for conferences that we were required to go to.

This also makes me mad. No one gave a shit when we were in the red, now that we're solvent again, they want in. Even though those of us who did the work and sacrificed out of our own pockets for the good of the local are the reason that we have money in there. I never billed anything back, I always bought it out of my own pocket. Neither did any of us. We all did. Just because we needed the money in the account for real business, like labor lawyers for arbitrations, which are about 20K a pop.

Anyway, it's over...life goes on, but I can still be pissed off and I'll be damned if I call any one of those fucks if I get into trouble. I'll handle it myself first.

I know, why should I care?

I don't give a shit for myself, I care because I don't want to see other people who need help not get it because we don't have the money to help them or not get help because there's no one that can help them. That's the whole reason I got involved. I'm relatively stable, I've got some to lose, but not as much as so many others I work with and around.

you really need to find a new job...or move far away.. :\

Posted by JBuss you really need to find a new job...or move far away.. :\

I'm really almost ready to.

My problem is I can't vent at home, the people I live with are assholes most of the time about this stuff.

My stepdad put 40 years in at the plant and he's an asshole about anything you try to discuss with him about this place and my mom has no fucking clue.

oh fun :\ ya you need to move the hell away and get a job that wont treat you like dog shit. Check USAJOBS.com for federal jobs all over the country in all kinds of skill sets. It was how I got my job with Naval Air Weapons Command at China Lake.

Two things: the vast majority of my customers at one of the stores I work at and shitty prank calls.

Women in this town seem to be made so tragically awkward at any mention of sex that they actually have to dare each other just to come into the store. They cling to the door like a cat being forced into a carrier as their friends shove them in then can barely stifle fits of giggling hysteria as they inch their way around the store. They see a dildo and react as if they had never seen a penis before. One will pick up a dildo and shove it in the others face and they shriek and squeal like a child being chased with a worm on a stick. The irony is that most of these women are incredibly skanky and will blow a guy at the drop of a hat as long as he has a lot of money.

But thanks to the godawful Twilight fanfic of 50 Shades of Grey our kegel ball sales have skyrocketed.

The shitty prank calls come from the men who are equally stupid and irritating. Their pranks are easily given away by the laughter, but some have managed to fix that. The only problem is the questions they ask are legitimate questions actual customers ask:

"Do you sell dildos?"
"Do you sell anal beads?"
"What is the biggest dildo you have?"
"I'm looking for a really big butt plug..."

So every so often I can't tell if I'm speaking with a 40 year old man with absolutely no life or a customer that just feels really awkward asking these questions.

Sigh.

Canadian Tire and their complete and utter lack of ability to manage anything properly.

At least the next few weeks should provide some entertainment as my store crashes and burns.

imagine working in a place where the grand sport is trying to get your co-worker to off themselves by repeated fuckery.

i work with some of the most evil people i have ever met
'

Getting my hours cut but no one fucking telling me :/

Having to do laundry (at home) for the first aid room bedding at work.
No one ever telling me when it needs to be changed, that's the part that actually pisses me off.

The fucking owners at the Tim Horton's I work at. We've had a customer come up to them and tell them "I've worked in all kinds of unions over the years and have never seen any manager or owner treat their employees the way you do"

They regularly shout, berate, swear in front of customers at the employees.

You want something by 4 PM today? A little more notice than 3:30 PM today would be great, thanks.

Inspections.

So. Many. Fucking. Inspections. Fail one and ya get shut down.

We've got AFBP coming in 2 days. While I'm not nervous at all, I just hate working with the inspectors. They get in the way of me performing my duties.

Recently, I had to go to the opthamologist and the optometrist both. Which means new prescription safety glasses.

Both doctors recommended and one wrote on the prescription for me to purchase glasses with specific coatings to try to limit the damage to my eyes by glare and the sun. So, I bought a really good pair of glasses for outside of work out of my own pocket, which isn't really a big deal anyway. I don't pay for my eye care any more, so I can afford an extra pair of glasses every year or two.

So, I called someone in HR about having the company purchase a pair with the same coatings for work. Basically what they told me was that if I order anything but single vision and scratch proof, the company will make me eat the cost entirely of the glasses. The lenses I purchased for my street glasses were 310 dollars. Safety thickness adds another 50 to 100 dollars a lens.

On the purchase order for the glasses that the company gives you, they offer a prorated fee schedule that they won't fucking stick to for anti-glare/anti-reflective and transitions lenses. Instead, if I ask for what I have on my prescription and what my doctor ordered, I end up eating the cost of the whole thing, upwards of another $600.

I can't say that I didn't expect them to do this, which is why I bought a pair with what the doctor ordered already, but for Christ's sakes, I have a signed order from the doctor that says what I should have in whatever glasses I wear.

Fuckers.

Oh, one more thing...they recently nailed a coworker for a $650 pair of safety glasses because they were BIFOCALS. Rotten bastards. They paid for them, then sent him a bill.

In the extremely rare event that I end up strongly disliking someone enough where I even have trouble looking at them without wanting to vomit all over their despicable little face (only three times so far)... I always try to simply just remove them from my life. Block them on facebook, ignore any form of contact they try to make (after very clearly telling them to fuck off), and generally pretending/acting as though they don't exist.

What pisses me off is when those people don't just fuck off and keep trying to weasel their way back into my life - usually through passive aggressive, cowardly means. What pisses me off even MORE is the fact that I have to work with this particular person. They just so happen to be a completely fucking useless employee and should have been fired shortly after they even started the job, but fortunately for them it's damn near impossible to get fired here.

So I keep pretending they don't exist hoping they'll eventually get bored and go away.

Personal grooming such as nail clipping should be done in the privacy of your own home people! Don't do it as you are sitting in your desk and your gross ass nails go flying everywhere. Dis-gusting!
