"They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool."
Today was my fourth day of work at my branch. Technically I've been working with the company for 2 weeks if you include training.
I really enjoy it thus far. My future will be laid out on a nice shiny platter if everything works out there. A percentage of each check is automatically placed in a 401k and they are matching me by half of what I pay into it. I'll be able to tap into that when I take out my first mortgage, so they're basically GIVING me money for a down payment on a home. Their health insurance and dental is top of the line. They're willing to pay for a part of my tuition and work around my school schedule. Pay isn't the highest compared to other banks, but raises are given frequently and there are many opportunities to earn extra money (incentives). It's easy to move up in the company as long as you're hard-working and dependable. They're already talking about making me a supervisor when I get my review in August (although I'm not sure I want the responsibility right now). My co-workers are friendly and helpful. I wouldn't have a problem staying with the company until I finish with school. It's a big relief to know I have a more secure back up plan (other then the usual retail job) in the event that I graduate from college and I have trouble finding a job.
I'm trying to get Adam a job at a different branch. The recruiter (IE-the woman who does all the hiring for the banks in her region) and I get along fantastically. I spoke to her about it, and she told me he should do fine as long as he passes his "personality" test, the drug test, and aces his interview. He shouldn't have a problem.
Since my schedule is open until I start school in the Fall, they've been scheduling me 35+ hours. I've been doing very well besides the minor irritations of a few people that surround me. I'm trying to remove those people from my life as quickly and painlessly as possible.
It blows my mind that someone can go from spending everyday/every other day with someone for 3 1/2 years to a complete removal of contact without a second thought. I only wish I could be so careless. It also blows my mind that someone has complete disregard that they are upsetting their closest friends by doing something that could easily be changed.
I need a magical button I can push to shut off my emotions so I don't care about people like that. I guess it shouldn't be really hard considering I don't have a use for them anymore. They've become nothing more than an annoyance and an unnecessary stress.
"When they've tortured and scared you
for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career.
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be."
