Do you like your job?

[Lunar_Wolf]

I work in the cinema and I used to love it until recently. A girl who used to be really nice has become supervisor and all she does is boss us around and gives stupid jobs. Clean walls, clean the phones, clean toilets(which is the cleaners job), I had to do pointless jobs when it was busy and I was needed.

Yesterday I was talking to a co-worker on my break as he was rolling up posters, she came up and told me to stop talking to him as I was told I'm ''distracting'' him. Everyone is pissed off and she is causing a bad atmosphere.

Also the manager put up a notice saying if the canteen is not kept clean it will be closed which is the right thing to do but is also threatening to stop our free passes to movies and no staff drinks. I said it was bull **** and some ******* co-worker told the manager. Of course the manager said was this true and I said yes stating my opinion. He told me not too, that your not allowed to say rules are stupid which is bull **** I have a right to my own opinion.

I also told them on my first day that I was going to Venice on a college trip on the 19th of Feb, but now they might not give it to me because schools are off. If they don't give me my time off I'm walking out of that job.

Other then that but of the staff are really nice people and easy to get on with, I guess thats the only reason I'm still there.

Sorry to hear that Lunar. I enjoy my job and it gives me time to post here on the hype ... while working from home.

Have patience. Maybe the manager will get bored and leave, get fired ... or Kritish will finally go on his shooting spree and take her out ...

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Lol I bet someone will snap soon and kill her. I'm not the sort of guy that gets pissed of easily, but I was pissed yesterday.

The funny thing is the manager used to be a red shirt, which are ushers, black shirts and supervisors. Somehow he became manager. It seems when people get power they go on a power trip.

I get paid well and i dont really talk to any body, suits me fine


As for your cleaning walls and phones your working at that place you should do it doesnt take much rub a cloth over somthing, i used to work at a swimming pool and someone smeared **** all over the wall in the toilets and i had to clean it up. you just have to get dust off the walls! stop being a baby

 

[Canadian Rider]

Does that mean you wear a red shirt? Didn't you ever watch the original Star Trek series brother! They go first! Run away!!!



KHHHHHAAANNNNN!!!!!

I do, but my bosses test my patience sometimes. Mainly because one spends wayyy too much time in the bathroom, and then leaves the door wide open when he comes out, so the odor drifts down to my office. Then my other has no sense of time management, which gets annoying.

It's not the jobs it's the principle. We are doing cleaners jobs. I get paid to give tickets, work in the shop and check screens. This ***** is gone power mad and making everyone do pointless jobs when REAL jobs need to be done.

The fact that when you try talk to her she ignores you thinking she is better now. She works in a ****ing cinema, having a little bit of authority doesn't mean you can boss people around like ****. We have 3 other supervisors too who treat us like they should.

I dislike my current job because I don't enjoy the work and many of the people I have to work with are royal a-holes (if you think people start behaving like adults when they enter Corporate America, you are sorely mistaken). But, I just got approval to switch over to a team that I will really enjoy working with and the work will be much more interesting. I can't transition my current sh1t fast enough.

Honestly, Dunham's sucks.

 

[britrogue]

Most of the time. Sometimes it really rubs me up the wrong way

 

[Immortalfire]

This poll should be public. I don't know why, but it should be.

You are a jerk, Immortalfire. Never post that stuff again.

 

[jaydawg]

I used to love my job. Now I'm just sick of it and think about quitting everyday. They've given me more responsiblity, but at the same time they give me more minial tasks, without even giving me much of a raise. And the thing is, the moment I miss a day, the whole office becomes a giant mess and no one keeps track of anything.

I'm a ticket taker at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

It has it's ups and downs.

Customers can be very rude when they want to be.

Story?

 

[terry78]

It's basically doing business development for hardware/software resale, so you don't have to worry about not finding business, but some of the coworkers tend to be a little idiotic, which is cool in smal doses, but constantly....no. I'm a sarcastic kind of dude, not a wild and wacky humor type of dude, so that **** gets old after a while.

How did you find out about that!?

 

[Fried Gold]

My job is okay. I don't do an awful lot, and spend most of my time posting on message boards.

 

[ScottyBBadd]

Depends on my mood.

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

at times it can be fun like tonight when be an my shift lead moved two fileing cabnets and a book shelf out of our office and replaced them with a new fileing cabnet that nice ones that you file everything lenght wise. we fit every thing in that thing and still had 1 1/2 empty drawers.

but there are time like later this evening when i had my boss yell at me for asking about a memos that was put out to the stores from mall office, by a mall employee. i think that he was pissed because he didn't know about it and that he heard about it from me. but it was bound to happen seeing as they wanted a c-class mall to open up at 8 am on saturdays. it lasted all of about 6 weeks.

but even that is funny.

i can do almost anything that i want and my boss can't fire me seeing as he would end up having to work my shift or some one elses shift so that they could cover my shift.

Well, I work at Borders. Most of the people I work with are a damn snazzy lot. But our district manager is a wee bit of a *****. And some of the customers are more or less ******ed.

Customer-"I'm looking for a book."
Me-"OK. Do you know the author or title so I can see if we have it in stock?"
Customer-"No. But it's about (insert something stupid)"

 

[Addendum]

I got a better job than what I had before.

I quit my middle-management job in some white-collar prickass ****ing dull-as-**** job. **** hours, mediocre benefits, nothing much.

Now I'm in logistics for a shipping company and I like it. It's a small staff and we basically move parts for various companies in the Memphis Area (HP, Compaq, Dell, GE, IBM). Orders come in, we ship them. The only people I deal with besides the staff are the people who work for those companies who come in and get the parts, or the freight guys.

Reasonable pay, great hours, great benefits, it's perfect. And I don't have to dress like a ****ing catholic school kid.
