I HATE MY JOB, I HATE MY JOB, I HATE MY JOB, I HATE MY JOB, I HATE MY JOB, I hate my frellin place of employment (had to change it up a bit), HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
It took a lot of energy today to not walk up to a sup and hand them my badge telling them to go fuck themselves.
I had to repeatedly tell myself "you have bills, you have rent, you have christmas presents to buy, you have bills, you have rent, you have christmas presents to buy"
Ok am totally needing to rant, vent, whatever. So to go back a bit. I applied at this company, against my better judgment, in hopes that both my sister and I would get the job. There was so many things to not want me to go work there. I have worked for this company before and they sucked then, the pay is the same as I was making before, in is an extra 20 miles or so there and back, it is another frellin call center, etc. I did it because my sister had worked for them before and she told me that you could really make some extra cash. Also I had hoped it would get my sister working again. It is sales for a wireless phone company which only pays 8 an hour but also has incentives. The incentives could get you almost up to $800 on each check every 2 weeks (if you are good) and also with my sister getting the job we were to car pool together which is very happy for my car. Also my sister told me it wasn't to bad, which compared to the last company which most days I heard "I am going to sue you!" or basically got yelled at, this would be a good change.
Hell no! My sister didn't ever get the call for an interview. I thought about it when she didn't get the job and thought I cannot stand my current job and the pay is potentially better, why not, what the hell. Stupid Me. So I quit my old job and went to work for them. In training we were told about the wonderful incentives and how great it is to work here blah blah blah. I was getting excited. I thought this might be the change I was looking for. Nope not at all. 1 week of being on the floor we switched to a new ordering system and ever since then they cannot figure the incentives right. So they made and executive decision. We will take the average incentives for each person for the past 2 months and give that as the incentives. What the Hell!!! I haven't been here for the past 2 months what the hell am I going to get. They came back with that and said well since you were not here we will give you all $50 on your check. 2 1/2 months later this still hasn't been corrected and I am still just getting the lousy $50. I have looked at my sales and just today I sold about 8 phones. Which the incentive is level based with $6 a phone as the highest and lowest is $2 a sale. So even if we took the highest and lowest with about 8 sales a day it means $160-480 per check. That basically means I am losing $110-430 per paycheck or $220-860 per month. That is a lot of money when you are as broke as myself. They keep telling me the next paycheck will be fixed by 1/2 way though the period they send an email saying next paycheck is going to be the same. Last complaint is up until this week they have given us a 30 minute leway to get there. We could start somewhere in between 2:30pm-3:00pm and we would not be considered late. this was pretty necessary because 1st shift works till 2:30pm and then will free up some desks and parking for the night shift. Well this week they stated we have to be there at 2:30 or we will be late. There is no friggin parking people! I had to park past several buildings down the street around the block a little. I arrived 20 min early and it took a good 10-13 minutes to make it to the building. This pisses me off for several reasons. I do not want to walk that distance at 11 at night. It scares me quite a bit. Also it is getting to be pretty friggin cold! all it would take is allowing us to come in 15 min later and there would be plenty of parking that 1st shift freed up by going home. Also there is no desks because everyone is using them.
Ok feel a bit better now. I will feel even better on monday when I go get me a new job and really can go into work and tell them to kiss my a$$!!!!
