okay…so i was inspired by nancy’s blog about how much people suck at jobs haha…so i have a tresponse…well a rant of my own anyways….so here goes!

ok…i dont know whats wrong with people where they have to be told more than twice how to do something or just being told to do something….i know that they know what they are supposed to do and they are just being too damn lazy and letting it go so that i can do it…but at both of my jobs this happens allll the time…mostly at my new job at zoup!….maui wowi this is improving bunches actually…so this is mainly a zoup complaint.

first of all every time i get to zoup i get there at about 4 pm and the morning shift is all just standing around having themselves a nice little chat while i step in and look around and see like 5 things that could be getting done but they are just leaving it for me and my night crew to do because they feel they have worked enough….okay….so that pisses me off…our soups are our main thing at zoup…we have to make  sure that they look very presentable…so if a skin forms on top of the soups then they havent been treated like they should and if theres crusty nasty build up on the sides of the pot then they once again have not been cared for…and every time i get there the soups are all very low and they all have skins and they all have build up on the sides…and heres the morning crew standing around laughing and blah! it just makes me soooo amd because that takes a lot of time and being a night crew shift leader i need to do way more things when i first walk in the door besides getting shit done that the day crew hasnt gotten done…URGH!

okay…and here goes the rant about my pay with zoup!

well…when i first had my interview i told the woman that i wanted to be a manager or shift leader or whatever….she said that she had many other people apply for the position of manager and she would have to decide between us…okay…so first day of training me and 2 others were pulled asied and told that we were chosen to be shift leaders…we werent pulled aside by the owner but by the corporate trainers that came to train us from michigan…or somewhere like that…anyways….i assumed we would get paid more than the others because we did more training and were taught how to manage the money and how to do inventory and i was given a key and the security code and code to the safe…so of course anyone would assume that you were going to get paid more…so i was sooo into this job and was putting my best foot forward and was really trying to impress…okay so we are open for one week and suddenly the day crew shift leader decides to walk in on my night shift and hand over his key and tell me hes quitting because hes not getting paid extra for the work hes been doing and he feels like hes in a mess and getting cheated basically….so i was like this has to be a misunderstanding so i called my manager and asked her what was up and she said that she informed me in the interview that she would decide who she wanted to be a shift leader after 90 days….and im thinking ya ok she definitely told me that but….shes already decided who she wants to be a shift leader and has already got me doing the job…so i say that and she was like “you want a raise after one week of work and thats not gonna happen and i told you all about this and you are still in a learning process” so i am ANGRY to say the least…

i understand if we were still training and learning…but the learning and training process is kind of over…i mean…she already leaves the store and leaves me in charge of her store…i already do inventory on soups every night…i already count down drawers and fill out paper work and deposit money….i already delegate duties and make sure that everyone is staying busy and i already am put in the computer as a manager….im already doing the job…why does she need to wait 90 more days to give me my raise…im not letting this happen to me and she will be hearing from me time and time again until she either fires me because shes sick of it or gives me a raise…because i dont let people screw me over and i know im worth more than she apparently thinks i am!

ok…..and to nancy…i think that people are doing these things because they can get away wth it….and i know that you know you could probably get away with it too but you have better work ethic…these poeple get in a rut and they are not motivated to get out of the rut but guess what…deep down inside they are probably always fearing for their job…thinking i really need to step it up even though they dont act like they are fearing for it i bet you they are….and guess what…you dont have to fear for your job and that right there is way better than anything ever! especially in this economy…and karma will catch up to them…its inevitable…so sit back relax and watch it unfold!
