I hate my job. I know a lot of people say this, and almost everyone complains about them, but I really hate my job. I’m not going to tell you where I work, or what I do, because it’s not really important. The reason I hate my job is because my employers have little respect for it’s employees at the site where I work. Here’s a few examples of the shit they’ve pulled.
-
I was presented with an award for my performance in late October. The awards banquet was scheduled for a day that I was supposed to work. I asked my manager if I could take the day off, with pay, and not use any of my time off. He asked his superior and I was informed that this would be no problem. When the paycheck came, I found this was not the case. Upon checking with the appropriate people, I was told to talk to my manager’s superior, which I did. He denied saying anything regarding them paying me, and offered to allow me to make up the time, by working overtime. This came 3 days after a 3 hour training session dealing with building peoples self esteem. There was a video that said “The best performers should be rewarded the best.” And then they pull this shit, when I was given an award for being a top performer.

In November, I took a day off to help a friend move. I expected to only be a little late, and had told my manager this beforehand. Shortly after my shift was scheduled to start, I called my manager and told him I wasn’t going to make it in that day, but I would come in and make up some of the time, and use time off for some of it. He had no problem with this. Somehow, the paperwork for my time off didn’t make it to the right people, and this was delayed 3 weeks. The next week, there was a timeclock error, which removed 8 hours from my paycheck for this week.
These two events occurred in late October and early November, and two days before Thanksgiving, when I asked them to rectify the issue, their response was that it would be in the check to be payed on the Friday after Thanksgiving. At this time, it was 21 hours of pay, that was not paid over a three week period. I only received 13 hours of pay in compensation, as they refused to compensate me for the first issue.
- We have semiannual reviews at my job. I was supposed to receive my review, along with a raise, in late October. It is mid December, and I still haven’t received my review or my raise. I’m supposed to receive back pay, but there is a delay on this, as well.
Well, as you can imagine, I’m a little pissed about the whole situation. I just needed to rant for a second. Anyone else hate their job?
ps. On a brighter note, I’m going to school in the fall to pursue a completely different field, so I don’t have to put up with this shit for very long.
