Employer has amped up “Busy Work”

Yesterday I had a mandatory meeting, on a Saturday. It went as shitty as I thought it'd go. We even got to bid on new shifts, which means, being new to the department, had the least amount of seniority. So tomorrow I get to find out if my schedule changes to one in which I'd be dealing with rush hour traffic every day, giving up my 4/10 schedule and spending 45-90 minutes in traffic vs the 20 minutes I currently have now. On top of that, my employer hammered into to us what we are doing wrong in the workplace and has decided that we have several hours of downtime at work, so, they appointed new tasks that essentially makes our current tasks double redundant. Instead of logging in events once, we now do it twice, in separate formats. This basically doubles our workload and will ensure data entry continues…

Instead of logging in events once, we now do it twice, in separate formats. This basically doubles our workload and will ensure data entry continues non stop. A completely unnecessary thing to do other than to give us busy work. My employer can't stand that we have time left over to just decompress. We need to be kept busy busy every minute of each hour.

It's worth noting that our pay is staying the same. Well almost. They gave us a gracious 1.6% increase in pay, which started in July.

Gosh, what shall I do with the extra $20 a month raise I get?

Fuck corporate America and the corporate bootlicker cocksuckers.

Time to use that polished resume I got and GTFO.
