Work sucks, but what's new? :P
I finished my 7th straight day of work today. I get my first day off Thursday. And tomorrow is an 11 hour day.
While I am enjoying it, I find it interesting that we get stuff that we have to put up. And I've got stuff that I know we won't have sold a year from now, and maybe even longer than that. So I'm having issues with what crap I'm getting to sell to start with.
The pay plan is more convuluted than it should IMO, and then there are the performance criteria that boggle my brain. So many dollars, so much in this, so much in that, so much of a % of what you sell in another thing, so much in something else, "sell" so many of another thing (even though we don't charge them a thing for it!).
Then there is the management. I like the team for the people that they are. The details on how they want stuff done though, needs work. I was given a project to get done today. It didn't get done, because I was scheduled to leave at 2PM. She thought I was there till 5PM. Had I been there till 5PM, I would have had no problems getting it done. The manager made my schedule. She should have known what time I was leaving. If anything, I should have been asked. Also, what her idea of what was going to happen met that thing called reality. Shoving a rats nest of wires behind something may hide it, but when it needs to be working, trying to make that rats nest work is another story.
I'm trained that they do one thing, and then told another. Overwhelmed beyond belief trying to learn where everything is at in the store. Learning the procedures that they use.
And I could really use a day off! Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 10/06/2003 09:55:00 PM
