You're (Un)Remarkable!

I think your company is retarded.

If they need to pull a bullshit idea like this out of their asses just to get their employees to do their fucking job, maybe they should start laying off.

Honestly. If i ever own a business like that, i would hire people that are going to do their job. That's why it's called work. You dont go to have fun, you go to be your manager(or team-leaders) little bitch for 8 hours. It's not like you arent getting anything out of it.(not talking to you, jessifer, this is more or less me flaming your shitting co-workers)

I just wish everyone saw things the way I did with this subject.

Wow i didn't think another company would do the same thing.
The manager wanted to do something like it.
I was like "hell no, are you crazy?".
She said things and insisted on the idea so i threatened to quit (lol)
She stared and said, i'll think about it.
But if she ever does it i'll still quit on her.
even though it'll hurt to like lose my post and be payed 5$ again.

Any boss that lets you get away with threatening to quit is a suckass boss. If any of the people working for me were to say they were going to quit if I don't do X, I'd show them to the fucking door with a smile.

Hah... you think it's that easy.

My boss changed his entire pay scheme for the company because I told him I was leaving. When you have the right person doing the right job, you will take care of that person. It would take 3 of our current people to replace me. He cannot risk losing me over something so silly and trivial.

I let him still think he's in charge though.

I would rather take on 2 jobs than have someone working for me thinking they can control me with threats.

It wasa hardly a threat. I told him I was leaving. He told me I couldn't. We reached an agreement.

Well that's slightly different than someone threatening to leave unless their wants are met.

You won't get something unless you put your foot down.

And if you get fired, well, there's always better jobs out there.

Honestly Slaynish, you're underestimating the American population. Finding people who will work hard because it's their JOB is rather difficult, especially in retail or other industries that typically rely on hiring young people with little job experience.

The sense of self-entitlement that is being drilled into us daily by advertisement and business transactions only promote this sort of behavior. It doesn't occur to people that they're hired to work hard, they show up to collect a paycheck and to do as little work as possible.

(I realise this is slightly hypocritical as I'm posting from work, but I always drop this if I see it impacting my work). :P

What do you do, volls?

I take calls at a Call Center for Cox Communications currently.

I bet you get some dumb ass calls lol.

Not nearly as bad as I used to get working for Dish Network, but I actually did Tech Support for them. I'm basically just routing calls here at Cox, it's gloriously boring.

Sad but true, while it should be people's responsibility to put their back into their work, so to speak, you'll be hard pressed to find people that are going to do that, so in most cases an incentive is needed.

Honestly, you've got to trick your employees into doing their jobs half the time these days. The challenge is to do it as cheaply and discreetly as possible.

I've jacked around at work when there aren't customers to attend to but when I do my job I do it properly. I hate cleaning up after people who do a half ass job because I'm some what of a neat freak/ perfectionist.

I've been told that I'm anal on the job quite often from my fellow employees. It's true though, I am anal about the way I do my job. As soon as I punch in, you'd think I'd have OCD or something along those lines with the way I organize all the drawers, separate the coupons from the bottle and coinstar slips, organize all the lotto tickets that have been redeemed by size, stock the cigarettes and actually enjoy doing all of that with a smile on my face...but that's just the way I am. I find it hard to function in a work environment that's disorganized and where plastered smiles and ass-kissing are an everyday occurance.

I though i was the only one who smiles at work....erm....Ignore that comment.
You do all that and still keep a smile on your face?
Your starting to scare me, oh well! I scare my self!

Maybe, just maybe, if they paid more then 5.25 an hour, someone would be motivated.

Other then a kid, who can live on that type of money?

Not all jobs start at minimum wage, Kh. Even people that get fair amounts more than that will jack around and such. Besides, who's going to give you a raise if you're not doing your job the way you should be doing it?
