First, I'm selling used auto parts. Really? Been to college for the last 4 years and that's the best I can get. Whoever says the economy is improving is flat out of their frigging minds.
Second, the sales manager. When he first hired me, seemed like a pretty cool dude being a Patriots fan and all. Then, we had an office meeting and he started f-this and f-that. Not very professional. Then he started bitching about one of the salesmen (who wasn't there). Saying how this guy was a manager in a Florida store, did something wrong, and was removed. All the stores were asked by corporate if one would take the dude as a salesman- a demotion.. Well Savannah took him and he is on salary making more than sales manager. The sales guys are supposed to be on salary for a few months and then go on 100% commission. For some reason, he is still on the salary. Dude sits there all day doing, what? His sales are only about $1000 a day while the other guys are in the $9000-12,000 range. Really?
Third, the plant manager. Because the dipshit (above) is sitting there playing games on his cell phone instead of making sales and calling body and repair shops to try to drum up business, the plant manager now has made a new mandate:
"On
Friday, please leave your cell phones at home, in your vehicle
or if you have the need to be contacted in an emergency, you may sit
your cell phone on the top of the wall dividers between you and your
neighbor so that you may
take an emergency phone call. Should this continue to be an issue
(personal texting, game playing, etc.) personal cell phones will be
banned unless you have special circumstances and request special
consideration.
Also,
breaks are at 15 mins @ 10:15AM, your lunch break and again 15 mins @
2:30 PM… You may log out for 15 minutes and smoke/make your personal
calls at that time/or what have you."
Well, I'm 57 goddamn years old. I don't sit there and play games on company time. I, like some of the other working sales people, use the phone for work purposes. On Wednesday, I took a picture of a part and sent it to a customer. Good thing I did, it turned out to be the wrong part. Now, I won't be able to do that.
So, yeah, I hate my frigging job. I took $20 last night and bought lottery tickets. Won $31. Taking that and buying more tonight. Pray for me to win big so I never have to go back!
