Work whine...
I have never been so close to just walking out of a job in my life. I cannot stand this place. Inefficient systems and customer service agents that just don't care. I am not sure which is worse. And I do not care either. I make the same money as the agents I supposedly supervise. Less, actually, because they have some incentive potential, whereas I get a big fat nothing. I used to get a decent monthly bonus, nothing big, but it certainly helped. They took that away without any warning after the end of October. Nothing has been put in to take its place. I have the nebulous promise of an ephemeral dollar an hour raise. They have been saying that since May when I got this promotion. Actually I was supposed to get a total of four dollars an hour. I have seen one. I don't believe I will ever see another. I knew I should have gotten it in writing.
I want to yell and scream and bang my head and tear my hair out. I keep biting my tongue when people ask me stupid questions. I have no power to make any real changes in the way things are done. Any time I make a judgment call on anything, my decisions are over-ruled and changed by someone above me because the agent that I said no to goes and whines about why we should give more stuff away free. This affects the numbers that people look at to judge my performance. Not that it really matters because I don't get a bonus from anything anyway, though I am certainly get "talked to" when the numbers aren't where they want them. Of course I am never told exactly where they want the numbers, or where they even generate some of these numbers from. I think it changes from day to day.
I just do not care. I cannot go and get another job right now, because finding one with a schedule that works with school and faire and pays decently would be virtually impossible. I know because I have been looking. But I do not want to be here any more. I am short tempered and tired and starting to feel like I did when I managed the restaurant. I do not like that person.
Okay, I am done whining. Please resume your normally scheduled day.
