Every year for as long as I've worked here, January is the month of reviews, bonuses and raises. But not this year apparently. People have been pissed off now for about a month waiting for some explanation or anything as to why nothing has been announced. We had a meeting last week and management said they're “working” on something for us but “we're all going to have to make sacrifices this year.” Mind you, my company has had record profits and new contracts..how do I know? I HANDLE ALL THAT SHIT! I walked out of the meeting pissed off and took the rest of the day off. I was later told some others followed my lead and did the same. Anyways, Monday came and work atmosphere has been hostile and you can cut the tension with a knife between employees jeering off and bickering. Today is Thursday and the owner went out and got like $50 worth of donuts and snacks for the shop…and everyone has completely forgotten what just happened and they're literally lining up to suck his dick over some fucking donuts!?! Are you kidding me? How the fuck does a couple donuts make up for no pay increase, bonus? One fucking idiot told me “hey be thankful man, at least they're trying.” Fuck you and fuck the moronic way of thinking you've convinced yourself to believe.
This is why there will never be any significant change on a mass scale. I'm guessing these people went home over the weekend, looked at their bills and their ankle anchors and decided to stay down because “at least I'm lucky to have a job.”
Anyways, fuck these people. And fuck this imprisoned way of thinking. I'm whipping out my resume and getting the fuck out before I turn into one of these zombies.
End of rant, sorry for swearing.
