The 'Make An Honest Confession' Thread! Part V: Rebirth

[Anubis]

I wonder just how secure my job is. My boss has been telling me that, as the part timer with the most experience, its my job to make sure that the other part timers are getting all of their duties done. (News to me.) He even told me that my head is on the line. Just how am I supposed to get my co-workers to do their jobs better? I have zero authority over them. Yes, they sometimes (some more than others) leave their half of the department untidy and yes, I leave it like that for the manager to see. I used to clean up after them, but I got tired of doing their job for them, so I left it the way that my co-workers left it, hoping that the boss would talk to them. Instead, its somehow my job. I'm getting a distinct, "My job is my job, and your job is my job" feel.

Been there. You've got a supervisors job without a supervisors pay. I WOULD say you should put your foot down and tell em, I"m not a supervisor. I'm not even full-time. You want me to make sure they do their job, then you pay me to do that. Otherwise, Imma do me.

Of course in this economy, with employers cutting back every chance they get, you might get fired. So, you know, maybe it's time to offer sexual favors to your co workers in exchange for doing a better job.

Price you pay for doing a good job. Half ass is always the way to go.

After all these years, I haven't had the heart to tell a friend of mine that he speaks and acts exactly like Napoleon Dynamite. He hates that movie so much, I think telling him that would spark an identity crisis.

Agreed on all counts. The boss even laid another one on me tonight. He wants my end to be done a lot better, so the morning crew doesnt have to do anything. "A lot better?" I stayed an extra 45 minutes making sure everything was done tonight.

Morning/afternoon crew complains if I leave a smudge or missed a spot, but they leave heaps of garbage in the back room and no one says anything. Explain that one to me.

I confess that I just noticed that when I'm out with someone and its really late and I get really tired, I start to talk more and laugh uncontrollably. I almost feel like I'm drunk or high or something.

 

[WillardNation]

That's pretty common. Also pretty fun.

 

[SpideyVille]

Yeah, it was fun until I realized that my sister, who was also really tired, was becoming terribly annoyed and we spent the next hour on a train without saying a word to each other.

6 Years in retail and I just learned this lesson this past year. Every time I start a new job my bosses always wanna bump me up to a position where I tell people what to do, but I don't get paid any better for doing so... Way to many headaches, way to much stress, and way to many people copin attitudes with you for doing what your manager expects of you.

To hell with that jazz.

I seem responsible, not my fault. If you want me to BE responsible throw a few extra quarters my way, otherwise... Shut it.

 

[Charlie Boy]

I confess that tonight I did something incredibly stupid. I got my crazy ex to come down to the bar... So now I think I'm in a relationship with her again.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I confess that four hours ago, my grandmother passed away in our living room, and for some odd reason, I'm not sad about it. At all.

 

[Hound55]

I confess I occasionally yell at the TV as if the players can hear me...

Happens more in basketball, due to having spent time coaching, but rugby isn't immune...

I admit, when ive been through that, it's almost a relief. Sometimes you get the hardest part of mourning out while there suffering. And when they pass you sorta feel relieved, yet sometimes afraid to admit it. But you know they're at peace.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I confess that when I'm driving, and someone is polite in another vehicle (letting me go first, moving out of the way, etc... etc...) I tend to say "thank you" out loud as if they can here me through 2 vehicles....

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, spideyboy, that's how I feel.

Wow, I didn't go back to your original post but do you work at Starbucks? Cuz I did last year and this is literally word for word what I could've written about what was going on then for me.

considering the toll it's been on you,her and your family i imagine you feel a little relieved. its kinda understandable to not be so sad about it all things considered and what you've all gone through. she's better off now

Tell her you were under mind control or that it wasn't you :L

Nope. A supermarket deli.

 

[Schlosser85]

Contrary to some people's comments, I don't drink lattes. Or coffee. At all.

[Charlie Boy]

I confess I hated working in grocery stores.

 

[Prison Mike]

I confess that job searching is making me depressed. I think I might get Thor on blu-ray to cheer me up.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Retail. *shudder* I'm sure you understand.

 

[Charlie Boy]

Six years in Retail... Not sure how much longer I can do this.
