Survey Says... My Job Bugs
so today we sat in a room and talked about this glorious survey. thing is i'm not sure if anything gets done because we never really shared what was wrong. i could tell them what stinks about our job but i'm not sure that anyone wants to hear it. since this is my diary i'm going to write it all down here. i know!!! it's so thrilling.
first off, our job sucks because many of the people we train to make more money than we do. so i train someone to take calls for a credit card and i can't even afford to have one - but they can! it sucks. i make about 20,000 then the median wage for my position in the minneapolis metro area. [they shouldn't have websites that let you figure that stuff out because it's damn depressing.]
next it stinks that we work alongside people who are not partially but completely incompetent. not only do these people not get feedback regarding their total suckiness, some of them are actually touted as world class employees. this stinks because the few of us that still care about our jobs look around and see that we aren't appreciated.
it's like when someone has the really nice kleenex with the lotion and everything and then they run out and start using grade x toilet paper to wipe their nose. they don't care if the quality changes dramatically as long as there is still something to mop up their snot. [oh golly that's not a very pretty mental picture.]
the class that i just finished training was done despite the crappy curriculum i was given. the woman who wrote it had my class filling in the blanks every other minute. i can still hear the groans now... truly pathetic.
i'd love to continue on my little tirade here but i'm late for some snuggling with the boy. that's really what it's all about anyway... just making enough money so that i can buy gas to get my fix of snuggling.
