Most of my coworkers consider me thier boss, even when what I say goes against what any of our bosses say. Granted, they generally think of me as an asshole, but they know I only have the best interest of my job at heart and know and care more than anyone else, even our bosses.
I have fourteen bosses, though two of them are not actually over me, they just think they are. And those are just the bosses in store. I also have several more who show up anywhere from once a week to once a year and think they know what's best. What the hell? I deal with this every day and they think they know what's best? Morons. Not a single one of them knows a quarter about running things around there that I do. And my coworkers know this.
But then most my coworkers are lazy, or just don't care. Even the few who think they're good at thier job and are constantly talking about going into management are nothing but a nuesance who do most everything counter-productively, if they're not too busy hanging out at the water cooler. Gossipers, I hate them all. Do some fucking work and then I wouldn't care if you talked about other people's lack of performance. Hypocrits.
Okay, so I have an immediate boss who calls me "The Boss" because I generally don't tell her anything about what's going on and tell her what to do when I do. As far as I'm concerned, her only role there is to go to all the stupid management and district meetings so I don't have to and continue doing actual work. Really nice lady whom I consider my second mom, but her heart isn't in it anymore and she's just hanging out there till she can retire.
I have one coworker who I absolutely love and would hate for her to ever leave, though she's been trying to cause she hates our coworkers, hates the stress, and hates feeling like she can't ever improve the situation. She doesn't know a whole lot about the job, but she's a really good worker and even more importantly, she cares. I will hate loser her when she does find that something better she deserves.
I do have another good coworker, but he's a military man and is constantly away on military leave. I usually even forget all about him since he only works maybe twelve hours a month.
The other eight people who are my immediate coworkers all have job-hindering issues (like ignorance of job, complete stupidity, extreme lazyness, think they're magicians with thier disappearing acts, or power-breakers) and most don't even care. It's a paycheck, that's all they're concerned with. And if they don't last the year, they can always find something else (in this market?!? MORONS!) Most of them I wouldn't be surprised to be working at Taco Bueno or Buger King next year. Or just living off thier mommy.
Well, it's my day off and I'm finding myself more disgusted with my job than I get while I'm there, so I'm done... for now.
