People at work piss me off

[acid_soda]

So we boxed ink as usual today (putting printer ink in those wierd plastic boxes that we have to open so people dont steal them) Which, in the nearly 10 months i have worked at this store, I have done a billion and a half times. I also do cashiering. Now instead of me just boxing the ink and having someone put it on the shelf, today i just put it on the shelf and someone else boxed it. I didn't have a problem with this, but the guy who was boxing the ink is also a cashier and has worked there for just more than one month.

Anyway, the guy who was working on the boxes would box some shit and i would put it out. Makes sense right? Well sometimes he'd get caught with customers and there was no more boxed ink. Ink cannot go on the shelf until it is boxed, so in one instance, i saw that he was busy and, like someone who wanted to help get this job done, i started boxing some ink to put out on the shelf. I boxed about 10 cartridges before the guy comes over and says "Hey drew let me worry about this okay? I'm sorry but you do it to slow." It was a tad rude of him to say this, but i just said "okay" and took my boxes and went along.

Another thing i try to do when boxing is i try to organize by brand, so the person putting shit on the shelf don't have to wander around the brands to put them up. The guy was not doing this. He'd have HP, Lexmark, Hp, Dell, Epson, ect all in that illogical order. To save time, I started arranging it so HP was at the bottom of the stack, Dell at the middle, ect. When shuffling cartridges in a coherent order, he rushed over to me and said "dude, drew, don't leave such a big mess when you take the cartridges back! >:C" and i was like "I'm trying to make this go faster :C". He ignored me and i put the ink away.

The last thing the new guy did which really pissed me off is when he again got caught up with a customer, there was again no ink boxed. Knowing he'd bitch at me if i tried to box it, I just stood aside and waited for him while he finished off his customer. The /split second/ some other person walks in line, he yells over at me "hey drew, how about instead of you [dicking around], why don't you help this customer at the register?" (I'm not sure exactly what he said but it was pretty damn rude). So i help the customer, rather pissed off.

I hate it when people micromanage me, and i hate it even more when the person micromanaging me isn't a manager and is just some cashier who has barely been there for a month. Like come on, why do you have to tell me how to do my job when i've been doing it just fine for almost a year?


oh yeah and if you want to bitch about work post it here ect ect

Man up Flanagan!

Tell him to go fuck the business end of a pitchfork. He's only been there a month and he's trying to give you orders?????

My bitch about work.....India....the whole country. There is literally not a more backward ass country when it comes to telecommunications than India. You'd think with the surplus in Phd quality labour they'd have there shit together but, Indonesia's network is more stable and they have half a dozen earthquakes a year! I have seen fiber optic network being layed by donkey cart.....and promptly being torn up a couple of klicks (kilometers) away. I've seen it strung on trees like somebody's clothes line! Holy Judco!

One of large customers in India (think a call center you hate contacting) was completely isolated one day and was hopping mad. We told them to walk outside their office and see what their fellow countryman was doing to their and every building around them's network.

Here's one of the pictures of their network....orange = cladded fiber......nice.:mad:

And the brainless fucktards are supposed to lay each cable in a seperate location so you don't cut them both at once......durrrrrrrrr!

Ugh, crap like that is why I got out of retail. Cashiers don't need power trips.

[jjcourtright]

Other people is why I can't wait to move to my new job...I just hope that there aren't any annoying people there!

But at your new job, you'll be able to shoot the annoying people with lasers. Its win/win!

Sometimes they tell me to burn things...

Not a person pissing me off at work, but a program. Stupid Outlook has suddenly decided to crash every ten minutes along with Word.

After googling around, installing updates, disabling options, Its still not working. Microsoft support is useless.

Found out today that I have to attend an eight hour training session on a system I already use... everyday. Who's giving the training? Some clown shoes that sat in on the sales pitch when we bought the system... two years ago.

I know more about the application than our engineering department and this guy thinks he's going to show me something new? They're not upgrading the software. They're not even updating it. The only difference? We're adding five feeds to the six we're already providing... :rolleyes:

2 words..........liquid lunch.

I would recommend heckling the instructor and competing with fellow students during the lunch break on who can be drunker for the afternoon session.

[Lotism]

Hmmmm. Agreed. U should man up. You've been there a year and that rookie, a little over a month. Let him know straight up that you've been there a year and know the job better than he does.
The newest worker at my job tried doing the same thing to me. I put him in his place and he hasn't tried to disrespect me since. Don't let him fuck with you, especially if you are doing your job properly. Otherwise it can get bad

Found out today it's not eight hours... it's sixteen.

Two days of some yutz telling me how to operate a system he's never even used.



I need to check my PTO balance...

It's not my job pissing me off right now, it's the post office.

Finally got my notice to collect my bag from the post office this morning.
I was told on the notice that I'll have to pay a 68 euro "customs charge" because they think that I bought all the stuff in my bag in America.
Apparently I have two options.
Pay the charge and get my bag now (which will take all of my lunchbreak to get) and apply for a refund with head office by angry letter explaining all the stuff is mine.
OR.
Get them to send my bag back to the sorting office to re-evaluate my charge and wait for it to be sent back out to me (my guess, at LEAST another week or two to wait).

I think I'm gonna go with option A because I want my fucking stuff back now damn it!
This is so fucking frustrating. I know as soon as I hand that money over I'm never going to see it again. I'm sure they'll claim some fucking rule to get out of refunding me.
It's my stuff! How dare they make me pay for it. By-tor has already paid a fortune to ship it to me!

I know what you mean. I'm in the printer ink business as well, and you get some right cock-weasels telling you how to do it everyday.
The worst are the customers. They hand you two cartridges, and even though i've been trained to do the fucking job and the thing they're fervently pointing out is written on the top of the fucking cartridge they insist on giving you an evil stare and saying "Now THIS one is a Lexmark Colour, so you put only colour ink in that one, and THIS one is a Lexmark Black, so only put only black ink in that one. If you mix them up, i'll know."

*grumble*

He wanted to do fries and you vehemently stated, "No man. Fries is my job. You do burgers Kenny?"

That's an Elias job!

I've had enough jobs in my life to know that they all have one thing in common. There is so much unnecessary bickering and pointless scheming. Well there is only one point: to screw over your fellow co-worker. At what benefit? You don't elevate your own situation you only screw over someone else's. I don't understand the retarded logic of it except for someone either being bored or insecure. The workplace would be so much more efficient and stress free if everyone did their job and didn't worry so much about everybody else.

An example of some scheming I was subjected to: First day at this job I had a while back, I was introduced to all the hosts. The one who had showed me the ropes was a nice guy who was very thorough in explaining to me the do's and don'ts. He had been there for 30 years. Later I had met a younger female worker who asked who trained me. When I told her who, she immediately said "oh wow isn't he so annoying? He just doesn't know when to shut up." I said "I don't know he was pretty informative." She told me that he has been here too long and told me "why don't you ask him how long he's been here. Then when he tells you, ask him why are you still here?"

I saw what she was trying to do. On top of starting a co-worker relationship on a bad foot she was trying to stir up drama. I immediately responded with "I'm not going to do that. No way." She got the idea but still later tried to do similar things. She figured out that I was there to get along with all and I told her "dude just chill out." I learned that this girl was dangerous in a job related sense. Needless to say I avoided her whenever possible.

When I left work the other night, a low-level manager was out in the parking deck taking pictures on his cellphone of everyone who came out the doors before or at 10pm...

What a tool.

I told him to make sure and get my good side. Then I farted in his general direction.

Seriously.........work harassment. Notify HR. And sauce it up when you do. "So-and-so out in the parking lot taking pictures of people leaving the office, I think he goes home and jerks off to them."
