i work at advance in saginaw,mi i been at this crap job 3 years and have gotten a .32 cent raise and cannot get full time and i have an excellent attendance record and there is another employee working there that only had 1 year in and the manager put him on full time its all about whos gonna kiss the bosses butt and who can get all the favortism this is the worst place ive ever worked in my life ive been treated better at fast food joints this is the only place ive ever worked that doesnt give u at least a .50 cent raise after 90 days i got into a jam 1 morning and had no one to take my kids to school so i was a half hour late for work and even called ahead of time to make sure the manager knre about it and he still chewed me out when i came in to work so if your thinking of working for advance think again u will not make no money there and u will get treated like crap unless ur a butt kisser to the manager…

I guess he/she is a bit upset? Should we debate that?

You posted in Great Debates, but I doubt that you really want to debate your claims. Rants are better suited to The BBQ Pit, where I have now moved your thread.

4

Less than ten minutes to move the thread from Great Debates. I’m impressed.

5

Am I the only one here having trouble figuring out what the OP posted?

6

Maybe the problem is that the customers can’t get a word in edgewise.

7

would like some punctuation with that?

8

My cousin in Grand Rapids got fired for ranting about his employer, that he named, on the internet. Just saying.

9

Probably. It’s not in code or anything.

10

I don’t think martinuhrich would be satisfied for very long with a .50 cent raise.

Serious question:

You work in an auto parts store. I’m guessing your job involves listening to what the customer wants, entering the part number(s) into the computer to check stock, keying in the order and printing the ticket, then going to the bin locations to pull the product and return it to the counter to complete the transaction, yes?

Do you make a lot of mistakes? I’m guessing the butt kisser doesn’t, and that’s why he was promoted to a full time position.

Just a guess.

12

Serious suggestion: Learn from the buttkisser. I’m not even joking. What you think is kiss-assing and sucking up to management, most people think of as necessary workplace people-skills.

You also might want to seriously think about deleting the name of your town from your post. Something like that can get your ass fired in a heartbeat, and then you don’t have ANY salary, not even one with no raises.

Also, where the fuck have you been working that gives a half-dollar raise for no good reason after 90 days to everyone? If those places are out there, why aren’t you working for them still?

13

Because some asshole new guy came in and started running circles around martinuhrich, filling orders more quickly and efficiently, giving better customer service, etc., just to kiss up to the manager!

So martin got the hell out of there rather than be a butt kisser himself.

14

It sorta is, but I think I may have cracked the code:

-… …- .-… .-… … … … -

OP: Do you take “making oneself understood” to be the same as butt-kissing? If so, you’re not long for the world of employment. Seriously, if your job requires some competence in communicating via the printed word, your OP is the best evidence your boss could ever hope to have that you are not qualified for your current job.

16

Forget the other guy. I think he didn’t get promoted because nobody likes talking snakes.

17

Why does this make me laugh so hard?

18

Ignoring the obvious issues of grammar and punctuation, let’s deconstruct:

  1. .32 cent - really? You got a less than 1 penny raise? Or did you mean 32 cents (or $0.32 - either way works). I guess it’s a good thing modern registers do the math for you. Or do you make it a habit of selling 10 cent items ten for a penny?
  2. i have an excellent attendance record - except for the aftermentioned incident with the kids and being late. Something tells me that wasn’t a one-time occurence.
  3. You know what? I just can’t do it. This post has already cost at least .32 cents of my time. Peace brother.
19

You know what’s funny? There are actually the right amount of periods in that post.

They’re just all at the end.
