I hate my job. The only reason I stay is because they pay me well, but I can’t fucking enjoy it because I can never even wind down from my workday. I just get out of work angry all the time. They train me for 3 months in a classroom with other people. 3 months of class room training. What the fuck?! I got hired as a trainee. I’m constantly being disrespected. I didn’t even get to go into a department I wanted. They gave me a customer service position. What the fuck?! 3 months of bullshit classroom training for customer fucking service. I have more job experience and education than the rest of the group. They get their top choice department and I didn’t even get one of my top choices. I got the worst possible job I could get. And get this? THEY ARE STILL FUCKING TESTING ME. Not observational tests. Multiple choice tests. WHAT THE FUCK! Not only that, but I was reprimanded for sending resumes to various departments by HR who basically said I wasn’t allowed to mingle with any of the department heads. I did anyway. Got reprimanded again. ---

Well, given that attitude and two reprimands in a short period of time, I suspect you won’t be hating this job much longer. ---

I can see why they put you in customer service, you have a great personality. ---

Yup, reprimanded for trying to set up lunches/meetings with directors who wanted to meet with me. They even wanted me to be in their department, but my supervisor won’t even allow me to go somewhere I want to go and somewhere where I can use my talents. ---

I’m thinking that if they really wanted to meet with you, they would be making it happen. You wouldn’t be “trying” to set it up. ---

Yeah, fuck Mooby’s. They’ll HAVE to notice you after you turn in your apron and get on the schedule at White Castle. Without all the politics you’ll probably _start_ on fries and be assistant manager within a month. I agree customer service is beneath you, what with your job experience and education. ---

Melodrama coming from you seems about as natural as an oral bowel movement. ---

[Maurice from Coming to America] Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now… now I’m washing lettuce. Soon I’ll be on fries; then the grill. In a year or two, I’ll make assistant manager, and that’s when the big bucks start rolling in.[/MFCTA] ---
