Work
Yesterday was my last day at work. I'm now officially unemployed and probably won't find another job where I was making close to $400 a week. All the debris sites are closed and the trucks are no longer running.
I'm not upset about being laid off other than the fact I won't be getting a paycheck anymore. I am upset that the office bitches backstabbed me, Heather and Jody and for some strange reason, were continuously given extra work when we were told there was no reconciling in the database to do. These same office bitches, Wendy, Christina, and Brandi, also were well aware that we were getting laid off at the end of this week, but kept it a secret while they whispered among themselves. On Tuesday, Wendy and Brandi began acting cold towards us while Brandi suddenly started joking around more with Wendy and doing more of Wendy's work. Meanwhile we were told "there's no reconciling to do." Even though only Wendy and I showed up during our vacation to actually do any work (Of COURSE I got paid!), no one else showed up. Even when Christina and Brandi had to leave on Saturday to go watch a stupid football game, I stayed late to finish the debris tickets. But guess who still has their jobs? Brandi and Christina,while Wendy got hired on at Brown, Thornton and Pacenta, the accounting firm downtown. Brandi now has brown shit on her nose, and still has her job. I don't get it. I dont' understand why we were lied to and then why it was kept a secret that we were going to be laid off, but 2 of the other data entry people in the office were told by Wendy that Jody, Heather and I were going to be laid off and to keep this detail from us. Why did Wendy tell those 2 and not us? Why did they treat us so coldly this past week? I just keep asking myself what it was we did to them personally that made us get a knife plunged into our back.
Where in the hell will I find another $10 an hour job in this town in a place where I don't have to do customer service work?
Why do people always tell me that I have to do whatever I can to make a living, which basically means "You settle for whatever you can because whatever you do is going to suck anyways." I should be able to find something meaningful and worthwhile to do that doesn't make me so miserable that all I can think about is suicide, instead of a $6 an hour job where I can barely make ends meet. Why are we as Americans settling for unhappy and unmeaningful lives?
Someone enlighten me please.
