OK I just need to vent, to rant and to see if anyone else has this same problem or ever has for that matter...be it male or female. I am 24 and have worked retail for wayyyyy too long now. I have been at my current job for a year now. I started off at the bottom...supposedly did such a great freakin job that after about 3 months they talked about promoting me ...GREAT i thought...all was to be awesome. Well guess what?! I am in the same position!!! They give me one day in my supposed new position to train...hire 2 cashiers to take my place so I can get promoted. Then a few months later fire them, saying they had no payroll... having me as the only cashier working me crazy hours and making me work another position they know i hate, saying i need to be crossed trained in that B4 I can get promoted....so I cross train....they hire and transfer new people into the job i was supposed to get!! One of the girls has the worst customer service I have ever seen....she is an absolute Bitch to the customers and employees...and they still keep her. Then one manager says "Ok you are going to get promoted in a week"...he leaves a month later and come to find out the new manager says he was suppose to tell me the opposite...that I had to cashier for a while. Now she kisses my ass cuz she knows I am getting pissed and that I have been lied to. She already told me a lie...that they were gonna interview people so i could get promoted...that was over a month ago...and then I hear that NO they arent hiring anyone. They end up recently promoting some other girl...who happens to be a little too friendly with a supervisor....to the job I was supposed to have. So its time to fly the coop...yes I know...more like Get the fuck outta there. I am putting in applications to other places. Why is it the nice girls always finish last....the Bitchy, slutty people get to the top.....sheesh...if thats the way life is well.....are all us nice gals doomed?! Hmmmm....maybe I just need to grow some balls!
im sorry i dont think i understand what you are complaining about...i tried reading that but got lost and my mind drifted...
i think she needs to suck my dick and lick more balls to get ahead in the workforce.. actually i got the last part and sounds like shes mad cause other people got her position or something, but hello and welcome to the real world where getting screwed over is natural...
If you are over 20, and still work in retail - then you have offically finished last, whether you are nice or not.
Back what up???? What i said is really more of an opinion than a statement of fact. My position is: Anybody older than 20 who works in retail (not including those who own the retail establishment) are fucking losers who have no creativity, initiative or earning ability.
Any one that works is doing a good job.. i suppose your job makes you the most creative dynamic and i would imagine sexualy HOT individual on this planet.. you fucking snob. *calms down* I did read your post and got to the part of 'cross trained' and i let out a little *sigh* that is business speak for doing stuff not in your bloody contract. You admit to be a nice person (and i am sure you are).. this is always taken advantage of.. I would imagine you have a good work ethic (just to stick the mofo job out)..i think thats a good thing.. but imho you need to find a better employer FAST.
Well you all have your opinions...most of them arent too nice....sorry if I didnt mention I AM IN SCHOOL!! I am trying to better myself and got this job cuz supossedly they work with your school schedule. But in turn it has just been a disaster. I appreciate your post Matthew thanks . I don't see myself as a loser....but if thats what you all think of me, be my guest. At least I know what my future is and what I want. My point was I don't like being lied to, why can't people be freakin honest! Thats all. I mean they could have just not got my hopes up and not lied that they were going to promote me. But nah...the world is like that I suppose. Guess there is higher ed. for a reason.
The difference between a nice guy and a sucker is --a nice guy stops being a nice guy when people start treating him/her like a sucker.
You're right, sweetie, this is why we suffer through school even when we think we're done with school. I'm 24 and in school again to make sure that I do better than this gig I have as an administrative assistant. I did retail up till I was 22, honey. You're not a loser, a loser doesn't work at all and lives by mooching off of others. BTW to everyone else, everybody needs to rant and bitch once in a while. It's therapeudic! I think everybody's been guilty at least once. I know I have.
