I didn't get mad at first, so I just ripped off the sign... but then the janitor approaches me looking for the shitter and asking about the sign... that's what made me mad... like got dammit, wtf? You're actually going to take time out of your day to search for someone who fucked up the toilet? When you should be cleaning it yourself? I didn't say this to her, of course, but that shit got me steaming... and not just because I was the guilty one, either... haha
I know people are different, I just know that if I got annoyed at the people who are morons at my job, I would be walking around pissed off all day... I usually joke with my co-worker how I wish I can carry around a nintendo duck hunt gun and shoot people with it, not out of wanting to show them harm but because it would just be funny.. Believe me, I am not perfect (I know, hard to believe right...) But I just know that if I got upset at my co-workers over their stupid charades and their lack of wanting to work then I sort of lower myself to them.. You know... Trust me, I have my moments where I would love to throw my mug at someones face... But I just simply laugh because they are dumb and not worth my time.. I have to do a lot of people's work, I have to stay late and type their BS, and I don't even get the credit, they do.. It's a job and I am glad I have it, I enjoy it to an extent so that's what matters.. People are funny and comical, especially here at work... Just my little rant... I know you clarified and this is just about the topic in general, not about your particular situation...
My job entitles me to be a slacker. Because of this, I've been increasingly awesome as sovling the cryptic codes in the paper, but I still suck at Sudoko. Rock on slackers, rock on.
Every single person at my job is a slacker. I love the fact that it's a laid back job. I can leave work half an hour early on most days... Hell, I get into work, and take the first half hour to just drink some coffee, walk around, and talk to folks. Still get all the job and more done though.
I love slacking. Slacking is cool. Work sucks, unless it it something enjoyable and fun. I want to slack more and more in life.
Hell if it werent for slackers it would be that much harder for me to rise to the top. I love slackers!!
i'll tell ya right now, if i was a janitor, and i knew who smeared shit all over the place...i'd knock the person out, drag them to the bathroom and rub their face all over the shit. fuck that
I have been upset about it before, because I am a hard worker. However, lately I just think about how we are all getting minimum wage. That is hardly a motivator to do a job wonderfully. Oh, so someone leaves 15 minutes early. That is less than 2 dollars. Take a fourth of that in taxes and WHO CARES?????!!!. I'd rather have 15 minutes to breathe some air than work my ass off for 1 dollar and some change. I work at a hotel right now, as a housekeeper. I work alone because everyone else SUCKS at their job and it irritates me. So, I listen to music and work alone to avoid HBP. But really, in this town, there are no jobs worth caring so much about. They don't pay us enough to live. Yes, I am increasingly hostile about that.
Honestly though... if someone leaves a little early, and you make them stay... there's 0% chance that you'll actually get more work out of them. Hell, you'll probably actually loose production value because the worker will be pissed off and will work slower out of spite.
Like I said. That much easier for the cream to rise to the top. I love it. I never complain about slackers.
Hell, I slack.. if I don't have a patient booked in, I don't work (beyond basic admin stuff that takes about 5 minutes). Simple. If I have an empty clinic, I don't even go in. Where would be the point? I get paid by patient not by the hour.
because of my last job, which was awesome for lots of reasons, not just because there was a lot of downtime, i got really REALLY good at sudoku. it's really not hard... hopefully this new job i'm starting tomorrow will be the same level of awesomeness!!!
same thing i was doing before - direct care for adults with developmental disabilities... only this job is at a new company, in california instead of virginia.
Motherfuckers who take hour and a half lunches every other day... leaving work 10-15 minutes early all the time... taking off every other Friday... always killing the morale with their negative perceptions and lack of motivation... don't you hate them? ------------------------------- People with longer breaks and more vacation time/time off tend to be happier more productive workers compared to the often overworked American workers working 40-50 hours a week with little to no paid vacation.
Janitors don't get paid near enough to clean up what they normally have to let alone something foul, so I think you're an ass for calling him a slacker. Yeah, maybe he didn't go the same route as you and end up in management, but life hands people shitty situations. Most of the custodians I've ever met have been in the profession because it was all they could find, not because they "chose" to take that path. Maybe you should find whoever was so childish to fuck up the bathroom and go after them instead. It takes a real fucking winner to make a disgusting mess and then not even attempt to clean up after themselves. And this "teamwork" is a load of bullshit. I've never seen a janitor ANYWHERE included in the "team" except by maybe the others on the janitorial staff.
I'm sitting at work as we speak. I don't really have anything to do so I mean technically I'm not slacking.. but anyway, slackers make it easier for people who really do care, to go further. think about it, if everyone really cared, who would they promote when the opportunity comes along? they'd promote YOU if you were the only one who was actually working. also that shit about the janitor sort of pissed me off, their life obviously isn't ideal if being a janitor is their job - so shitting and throwing up everywhere is just unnecessary. everyone's human, treat people the way you'd wanna be treated
That janitor thing reminded me of another experience. I use those self-serve u-scan checkout things at the market sometimes. The attendant who watches over the machines came over to me and yelled at me for not doing it fast enough. As a customer, I'm basically doing the job that cashiers should do but the store is too cheap to hire. And they're still complaining. What idiots. Anyway, that store went out of business a few months later. .
