Didn't Work Today

[CQuinn]

Have a stomach virus called in at 9:30am to say I wouldn't be able to make it in at scheduled time today 12 to 6 pm. Had to speak with the store manager ...she asked what's the problem said stomach virus...she hung up...no feel better or thanks for calling.
Tomorrow I'm scheduled for 9am to 3pm if they say anything about today...I'll tell them to shove the job you know where. The retail business really sucks they want you there sick or not for the worst hours and pay around.
Yesterday I worked 8am to 2pm by myself during a sale weekend. The slobs open boxes throw the packing on the floor right next to trash cans and then leave the boxes and shoes where they drop them. Yesterday a lady asked me to check in the back for size 12 double or triple D. As she stuffed her fat foot into a size 11 with no ped on her foot. I said we don't have them she asked how do you know if you don't look...I was going to say because we don't sell boats in this department.

Charlie, on the positive side, you can go right back to retirement. I have to play the game for 5 more years

[wheezie]

Well, I've got to play the game for 3 to 8 years, depending on how things go. If I retire at 70, I won't even clear enough for my mortgage.

It's a different world we live in. Employees are nothing but a number on a paycheck to todays employers. It's all about a company using employees to make money. I;m glad I am out of todays workplace. There's no respect or depth of feeling for employees as human beings.

Hey Charlie, just remember that some of those people need to work for rent & food, and they have to take it seriously... Sometimes they dont know where to draw the line of "too serious"

If I remember correctly, you took this job to help pay for a big house project right? It is really "liberating" to know you can tell the job to screw off in a heartbeat if they start hassling you... I'm working HARD at getting to that level - My Maine house disaster knocked me back a few pegs on that goal, but it will happen as soon as I can make it happen...
