I’m a coach for pre school age kids sports. I work 15 hours a week or so right now while I go to school to be an elementary school teacher. I LOVE my job and my kids. It’s so fun to see their giant smiles when we’re playing games and I feel like I bond with so many of them. Plus coaches get to be more like the fun uncle while teachers are the strict parents. However, I’m getting married end of July. I told my boss about it today during my review, and he said we’d have to see if we can find coaches to sub for me that week while I go on my honeymoon. This is still five months away, but he pretty much said we’d need to wait until mid June to see if I can actually get it off. Obviously that doesn’t fly, because I…
I’m the only real person in the room
I'm the only real person in the room. I am not a fake robot. If I'm pissed off, ima wear it on my face. In the morning, I'm gonna look tired. I dont want to do small talk with you. We are strangers. Wipe that cheesy fake ass grin off your face. Yall have it freezing cold in the office. I'm gonna wear a sweater. Idgaf about your dress code. Why are we having another stupid meeting. I dont want to have this stupid meeting. You're putting meetings on my schedule for almost no reason. Stop complaining about the revenue I've brought in. I have closed almost $10 million in sales for you. Leave me alone. I make all this money for you, and I cant even get a raise to match the inflation going on. I hate corporate America. All of you can suck my balls with whipped cream.

My manager just sent out a message to all of our team and said “Good news everyone! Admissions are up!” someone else asked what kind of admissions? His response was “hospital admissions! That means we will be getting a lot of new accounts to work soon.” I replied back “… only in medical collections would that be considered a “good” thing….” I hate it here.
Weather be damned, gotta work or die
My daughter(17) recently started a job at her favorite thrift store. It's a big chain and this post isn't really about them so I'll just leave it at that. She's still in high school and told them when she interviewed that she only wanted to work 16 hours a week to start. Well, it's been a couple weeks now and they're starting to schedule her for more and more hours, also changing her schedule almost daily, requiring her to constantly be checking the website to make sure she's not scheduled. One day last weekend she thought she was off, woke up at 10:30 and checked her schedule to find out she had half an hour to be at work. In the interview they told her they weren't understaffed so her schedule would be hers to pick, but she's since learned that was a lie. They're understaffed and constantly using that…
