and boy am I pissed!

Seems that I've been demoted for, now get this...

being to fucking nice!!!!!!!

I cannot believe this bullshit!

I bust my ass, stay late, come early, work from home at night... help the girls with their problems... and where does it get me? 2 years with no pay raise and now I get demoted!

What's really strange is I'm actually kinda okay with it. I may actually get to get stuff done if I dont have to handle everyones problems...

Sorry, needed to vent.

Jeffery

I know how you feel, except for the being demoted part. Back when I was in charge of the music and movies section of my old Target store, most of the time felt like I was also doing 10 other people's jobs as well. And my "Leader" would gripe when I didn't get everything done on time. Also had to fix some of the store manager's mistakes when she would come and work in my area when I was gone.

That sucks. Two years with no chance of a pay raise blows. I hope the "getting other stuff done" angle works out well for you, but on principle that sucks. Good luck.

That's weird, being demoted for being too nice. Where do you work?

He is/was a manager at a trucking company (check the thread I started on "Who are you and what do you do?").

Dynasty Transportation.... a trucking company... seems that one must treat people like crap to be a proper manager there... and here I thought helping folks, making sure everyone gets along and is happy were GOOD things...

Thing is, when I was more "manager" like, I got in trouble for stepping on my bosses toes.... so I slacked off, and look where it got me.

Here is a little story that may cheer you up. Or not, who knows. But it is a true story and for some reason your post made me think of it.

A few years ago a close friend of mine worked for Arthur Anderson legal. Sorting papers and shit. I don't really know. But he's been my friend since third grade. And he was going to take a lunch break from work and called my brother and me to meet him at a Chinese buffet on his break and eat together. So we do and we have a good time. And on the way out the door he does this thing where he purposely falls down out the door but sort of makes it looks like an accident. For some reason we all did this back in the day and thought it was funny. We'd purposely fall down a flight of stairs in a public place and people would stare at us in shock and horror.
But that got old after a while so we also started doing this thing where the rest of us would run up to the person that did the fake fall and then just start kicking them when they were on the ground. It added a whole new level to the experience. And to the looks of shock and horror from the public.

So anyway, after my friend does his funny fall and all the Chinese buffet staff stare at him like it is a potential lawsuit from a greasy floor or something, my brother and I start kicking him as he crawls out the door and into the parking lot. Then it sort of erupted into a friendly impromtu brawl. At one point I punched him in the stomach and he says "OH SHIT! You just made me shit my pants!". Then he drops his pants... and underwear... in the middle of the parking lot and looks at the contents in horror and screams really loud, "I shit my pants! Fuck! I shit my pants!"

As soon as this happens my brother and I run away from him. We always want to put as much distance from ourselves and shit as possible. So as I run off and fall into the grass from laughter and ridiculousness, I look over to see my friend, sans pants, screaming in the middle of the parking lot. Trou dropped. And I notice a very young boy and a very young girl in the parking lot staring at him. I'm really disturbed but I can't stop laughing.

My friend pulls pants up and GOES BACK INSIDE THE RESTURAUNT. He spends like a half hour in their restroom trying to clean up. He comes out and says that he threw his underwear in the garbage and that he is late for work from his lunch break.

That night he says they asked him why he was so late and he says in deadpan "Because I shit my pants".
He says they walk away and say nothing more. And we laugh about it like insane people.

Next moring he gets a call that from work really early and they say they don't need him to come in that day. He says ok and goes back to sleep.
When he wakes up he calls back and asks why they did not need him that day. They say what they reall mean is not to ever come back at all. They say that people have been complaining that he was late from lunch and that as an excuse that he said he pissed his pants. And they say he was kicking boxes or something. He says, "No, No, I didn't piss my pants. I shit my pants."
They hang up. And that was the end of his job. He stayed unemployed for a bit, and I think went into a bit of a depression. He decided he didn't like working with people anymore an when he did get jobs we would get jops where he worked alone.

What do you think about that? Smile

Shocked Note to self: Don't have lunch with David Mack on a workday.

I can't believe he was fired over that! ONE TIME he was late from lunch and people were complaining. That's why I can't stand office work and the whole cube thing.
