IF I WASN’T ON THE CLOCK……..

The Art of Surviving A Shitty Job

Whether your working at this Shi**y job now (I will pray for you) or used to in the past (prayer must have worked) we all know the hard struggles of working at a job you despise. We have all dealt with gossiping snitches (hating employees) and or assho** supervisors with SUPER EGO’S. Some of us make it out of these jobs in a civilized way and others of us…well lets just say…what you wanted to say..you finally say. lol.

First lets disscuss the actual companies, with their fake smiles and all. They suck us in during the hiring process by promising us dreams of great pay, steady hours and ample opportunities to grow within the “company”. BULLSHIT!!! ALL of it, because once we start, we are forced to work for less money than any of us can survive on or become overworked with no increase in pay or under worked, given part-time hours that can barely cover a cell phone bill. Then they expect us to do all of these extra things that are way out of our job descriptions. They know that most of us won’t say anything because they know that we desperately need our jobs. They give us hell day and night, and expect our attitudes to be in check. Then on occasion when the big wigs decide to stop by, its all smiles and fake laughter but behind the scenes people are hollaring and yelling. All of a sudden you just can’t seem to do anything right.

Next there are those no good gossiping employees.You know the ones that smile and ask you how your weekend was and as soon as you walk out the door they talk shit about you like a dog. The ones who knows everybody’s business, enough to make a book. They know who’s sleeping with who, who is getting let go and who’s stealing money and supplies. They know whose baby mother has been calling and how many kids everyone has. These people are DANGEROUS! They are charming and funny and make you feel as if they are really your friend. But believe. Dont be fooled by their false sincerity, it can cause you to be in the middle of an argument that you don’t want to be in. But if your lucky enough to see through their bullcrap, you know that secretly they are jealous of you and can’t wait to see you leave.

Finally, and definitely the hardest part IS DEALING with an arrogant prick of a boss (PG WORD) male or female. I’ve had to deal with both. Both have SUPER EGO’S and little person complexes. They think that they are always right and your always wrong. Oh and don’t even think about talking back to them. For fun they like to “flex” their “authority”, suspending or penalizing employees. PUH-LEZ….Note to all the egotestical supervisors out there..your all are just supervisors at these crappy places, this is you guys whole life, while these jobs are just pits stops on the way to things greater for the rest of us. And while I am sure that we have more education and wit then you, in a few years we will be making more money then your making now in these hell holes.

Confession from me to you..I AM SOMETIMES almost unable to contain my words when I speak to my managers. I want so bad to be able to CURSE THEM THE HELL OUT one good time. Using every word in the book just to let them know I am not playing. I find myself just wishing that they would say something inappropriate so I can let them have it because when I am extremely pissed off, I am very willing to lose the job for the sake of my dignity and pride. To me it’s about the principle of it all. There is no reason why they get to openly disrespect us, belittle us and talk down to us like we are some five year old child. We all know that if we were off the clock and in our regular clothes, out in the streets, in the real world, that they would never even dare talk shit that they talk to us while we are at work. NOT UNLESS they are ready for a beat down…. I am JUST SAYING……
