Pet Hates at Work

[kia ora storm]

Nothing weird about that at all mate. I'm on the same boat. Nothing worse than being injured seriously in say a car accident or breaking a leg, needing weeks off work, and not getting paid for it because you've used up all your sick leave... and then the medical bills pile up.

Ironically, I've starting to feel a bit feverish today. I might be out of action tomorrow, but if I got fuel left in the engine, I'll soldier on!

Sickies are an Aussie tradition...worse than NZ to be honest.

They may well be, but I do not like to abuse a fair system.

Same...I don't take sickies either...most people who take them are just slack employees anyway who go nowhere in a hurry.

a) I'm a full time uni student, only available Fri Sat Sun. So i get my 1 shift a week or whatever until the end of the year. 4 month break. Few weeks in advance, I tell my manager that my availibility increases to every day. "yeah yeah, put a note on my desk". So break comes around, I get 1 shift a fortnight. Wankers. Then March comes around, I tell my manager my availibility is changing again, only available on weekends. "yeah put a note on my desk." First week of uni, I get a call when I'm on the train asking why I'm not at work. I have 3 shifts that week. f**kwits.
So I quit.

b) Get a job, going pretty well. 1 month in, managers change. During that week, I turn up to an unpaid stocktake night that 1 other non-management staff member turns up for. I'm promised more shifts. A week later, he sacks me and the other new casual because he "just can't fit us in". Over the next month he sacks every staff member and replaces them with his dickhead mates. f**kwit.

Sounds like a complete f**kstick.

My pet hate is coming up very soon.

In the depths of winter when I drag myself in during the dark morning and end up working until the sun is well and truly gone. It's just such a draining experience.

Times like that I wish I worked for someone else but me

* Teenagers. They all suck.

* People whinging about doing menial jobs when it's dead...Listen, I'm not paying you to sit on your arse and do f**k all. Get off your fat arse and do what I tell you to or get out.

* Teenagers.

* Unreliable, slimy, "less than truthful" minions.

* Teenagers.

- People who make piddling purchases with large amounts of cash, e.g a $3.70 bottle of beer with a $50 note. And then people wonder why we run out of loose change by the end of the week!

- Foreign exchange students (most of the time seem to be Asian ones) who enter the store in a big group and then look dumbfounded when you ask them all for I.D. Not sure about you, but when I've been overseas I take my passport everywhere with me! Oh, and the whole "I'm not buying it for them" excuse hasn't worked since 1992, deal with it.

Jeese some pet hates on here are sooo petty.. All you teen checkout chicks and shelf stackers aka bottom feeders wait until you get out into the real world.. That will open your eyes to a whole lot more bullsh*t that goes on. Better yet, get a government job and you could rant here for days.

Anyway my pet hate is when new bosses get posted in and change a perfectly good system because they want to put their stamp on the work place. I am all for new procedures if it is more efficient, but most of the time its just sh*t.

Have you ever given feedback on the new procedures ??...if not then why whinge.

An effective boss would take the feedback on and consider it...

My job is so f**king unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling
you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty
hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her
hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once
considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box
of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to
continue to breathe.

The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the
smartest people on the planet. Her career oppertunities are endless, and yet
she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she
even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a
lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a
cat in heat.

But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the f**king stoner. And this guy is
more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to
work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober
anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik
throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big
f**king dog to work. Every f**king day I have to look at this huge Great
Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I
even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of
them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger
King, every single f**king day.
Anyway, I drive these f**ktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and
sh*t.

Put :sarcasm: on the end of your post and you can never be wrong !

 

[Didgi]

And when you put 4, you're 4 times not as wrong

: sarcasm :

Hmmm...

 

[mightybears]

1. Useless 'the world owes me' types that moan/kick up when asked to do their work or explain why x hasn't been done, and then take credit for others to cover their own laziness.

2. Recruitment processes that claim to be open and honest, but reward the same old mates of the decisionmakers.
