So I decided

To be completely irresponsible today and pretend I thought I am working at 12 instead of 11 or I will pretend I have a flat tire or something stupid. Because 1) I hate my job with a passion 2) I dont care 3)I am only supposed to work 6 hours with 45 minutes worth of breaks and really with that said thats only 15 minutes of extra work that I am getting paid for if I went in on time...4) I have some job interviews this week


Really there was no point to this thread.

The End.

 

Heh, screw it. If you are applying elsewhere then it shouldn't matter to much if you have to deal with the consequences

We've all been there. I used to literally turn up to one of my last jobs and take 3 hours breaks on a 6 hour shifts. I would just sit in the cafeteria, smoking a cigarette.

Funny thing is everyone did it, and the managers used to catch and fire all those slacking around the shops back alley. They never figured anyone would be stupid to enough to sit in the room with the managers doing it. All my superiors used to chat with me and whatnot, thinking I was just on my half an hour shift.

Never got caught

So all in all, although I shouldn't be condoning it, rock on A person after my own heart, it seems!

 

Thats awesome. It's pretty funny that no one caught on. I wish I could pull something like that. But there is no way I could get away with it. If it were a job with purpose I would be more apt to care but its a stupid dead end job and most the customers are cranky old ladies who can't give the time of day to someone so "below" them. And there is no radio or anything to help make the day go by a little bit faster. If there were music I could probably deal but it's just dead silence until some old lady starts complaining about something of somesort. My favorite is when I ask "Hi how are you?" and they don't respond. I just want to say "fuck you too, you think I really care how the hell you are doing!? Go screw!!!" Ughhhh...



hahaha wow what a rant

 

LOL, ranting is funny. And the radio does help, so long as it's not around Christmas time- hearing the same songs played over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

If I met Noddy Holder I would slap him with a glove and challenge him to a duel.


For the record, when you are in work, I would like to let you know that I will be sitting around eating cereals and playing XBOX- and that is it

 

I hate lying , I would hate to have to pull that shit off all day but you are young I guess you still haven't had enough bad karma come your way to think about it. Like people might know you are lying and think you are a flake. I dont know you so this is not negative towards you, but I hate working with people who are all about drama and lie about stupid shit. The reason I love my job now is that there are no people like that for the first time in my life. When people lie for no reason I usually think they are crazy. For real. I would just go late if you wanna go late and say sorry I'm late... etc etc Don't lie that's my advice.

 

I usually love Christmas music but the radio does seem to kill a lot of songs around that time. The radio tends to kill songs anyway. It's ridiculous. I am not too sure who Noddy Holder is but that is pretty funny. Oh and thanks for bragging about your wonderful day. While your enjoying yourself, I will be subjected to about 5 hours worth of torture. I think I would rather be chained and beaten... Anyway what do you play on XBox?

 

I have had pretty bad karma come to me in my lifetime and I am sure there is plenty more. I dont think that what I am doing is the right thing to do, and really I am sitting here trying to think of an excuse for it. The truth is, I can't. Yep I hate my job that much. I think its much more disrespectful to walk in all nonchalont and be like "yeah im late" as opposed to calling ahead with some type of story. What I am doing truely isn't all that bad, it's not like I am stealing money or products or harming anyone in anyway. Once I graduate college and get a real job, I wont be doing stupid stuff like this.

 

Ok, I just know the lying scenario and everyone knows they are full of it. Then it becomes your character.

 

Tell them you've been on the toilet with explosive diarrhea all morning... then offer to come in- they may insist you stay home. Be sure you sound sick and weakened over the phone.

THAT is Noddy Holder. On inspection that song was only a UK hit, you lucky gits Think of the worst American christmas song then instead, anyways!

But yeah, totally going to hit up a bit of Halo, and probably continue with Final Fantasy 13. It's all about the latter at the moment with me

 

This thread demonstrates how hard it is to get good employees.

People work half ass and then quit when they can't take it. No one forced them to apply at the business. No one forced them to say yes to the job.

Hey I am not judging you.Well actually I kind of am, but not like that means anything.

Why not quit now so your boss can find someone who appreciates a job?

 

Frankly if someone doesn't want to work that badly they should step aside and let someone else that the job.

 

Maybe, but then it's more personable than that. I can give you plenty of reasons to slack in work.

 

please do, i'm curious.

 

First and foremost, I need the money obviously. If I didnt I wouldnt have a problem quitting. No one is lining up for this job there are millions out there just like this one. And do you all mean to tell me you havent pretended to be sick to get out of work for one day!!!!!? Come on now! it's not like I do this everyday and I am still going in, just a bit late.

 

The people most important to me already know my character and thats what matters to me.

 

I have no doubt that there is an abundance of ways to justify mailing in your effort. Ignoring for a moment the fact that such a strategy is perilous in this economy, I think it's a questionable way to market yourself. I need my job so I have a number of mental strategies to keep me from hating my work... I take as much charge over my work environment as possible to ensure that it won't suck and the people around me are in as good a mood as possible... it reflects back to me in numerous ways.

Most importantly, each day I punch in I see it as a way of marketing my continued usefulness so when layoffs are considered I reduce my chances of even being considered.... and my immediate supervisors are keenly aware of how I'm making their jobs easier for them- so they leave me alone and let me do my thing.

 

Nice. I have been playing Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 2. I lovvvve it!!! ahah

 

no, i've been fucked over by enough coworkers; i try not to do it to anyone else.

work is easier for everyone if everyone does their share.

 

I was giving a different point of view. Kind of my mini rant.

The truth of the matter is I have quit or been fired on all the jobs I have had. In fact I am probably a bigger flake than most people here.

Seems I am better at being an employer than an employee.

I have years of slacking experience. Far more than you.

Sometimes I also like to play devils advocate.
