My boss is a fucking asshole scumbag and since my department manager left, he's decided he's going to make the marketing team his new pet project
even though he's fucking clueless and has no idea how to take suggestions and can't take being told he's wrong about things he knows nothing about
so now I have nobody between myself and him
People are leaving the company like a sinking ship. I have been working here for three months and 7 people have quit from head office in that time. 7 out of maybe 12. I have never seen a place with such ridiculous turnover.
yeah it sucks. I just learned today that the financial controller, maybe 4th or 5th in charge of the whole company, overseer of the entire accounts department, went to England to visit her family over christmas
i wish i could get you into my company, i dislike our graphic designer. i've caught her using stock images and claiming them as her own, hand drawn "on her own time", she says. ugh.

oh barf
Ain't nothin wrong with using stock, man. Saves a dickload of time and sometimes time is more valuable than the 20 bucks a high res photo or vector illustration costs

That seems like the kinda shit that would get you into a hell of a lot of trouble?
The claiming part not the using stock part

she's a very snarky girl (unless I just caught her on a bad day) and i rarely come into contact with any of her work so i've just let it go
we work for a company of 30,000 - they'll figure it out eventually
So the dang computer chip in my smartrip card stopped working and the process to get a new one involves mailing it in and waiting 3 weeks for a replacement, plus it's a crapshoot whether I get the money I already put in back in the new card. I think I had $150some dollars in there urgh. Stupid public transportation
I asked a major client for some information that I needed to complete their case first thing this morning, and only just now got a response, saying "If you are unable to correct this issue by end of business, please escalate."
How about you stop telling me to do my job? You took forever to send me the info I need, even though I could have had this solved HOURS ago. Not to mention the fact that this case normally takes abut 5 minutes to solve - escalating would turn it into a 5 day case. I am literally the stopping point for this product.
I don't care how big a name you have. I don't care how much money you spend on our products. Do your due diligence as your administrator, and get the issue solved. That can't happen if you don't give me the information I need.
Once me and my boss rang up a $175 tab at a wing place with a lot of beer and also some patron and we talked about nerd shit he used to do like reading old Dragonlance novels and playing DnD and stuff.

I've had this happen a million times.
Honestly, you might as well do it. Because if they're a major client (if not your biggest) they will escalate over your head high enough that a senior member of management will just tell you to do it.
Is this crappy? Yes.
But some dickhead in sales told them just how important they are so they know they can fuck up and let you deal with it.

Usually at that stage I send an incredibly polite email stating how I'm happy to do the job but die to the ack of information supplied which I have requested on XXX, XXX and XXX I can't do the work efficiently I will have to charge extra for wasting my time.
Usually then I'll get a harried call, told I can't do that, then I'll tell them to read the contract they signed, they hang up and I'll get everything I want in ten minutes.
as someone who used to be a cook in a restaurant, my boss got me a little package of chocolate covered pretzels and a christmas card and i was absolutely thrilled
I should start looking for a new job but I think I'm gonna wait until I can get my surgery done. Then if I don't get insurance immediately I'll at least be done with that shit.

What is the job, anyway, Metalbourne? Did I miss it, forget, or you just not say?
I'm working for xerox, doing customer for sprint. It's fairly low level work, but it's work. The biggest benefit being that they absolutely do not care what I look like.

yeah it sucks. I just learned today that the financial controller, maybe 4th or 5th in charge of the whole company, overseer of the entire accounts department, went to England to visit her family over christmas
and isn't coming back.
And the receptionist is also leaving in a week.
It's a mass fucking exodus.

On the other hand, wow is it really already 4 o'clock?

but claiming you drew them is awful

What do you think? Be sure to provide criticisms and suggestions for my next work!
She's kind of wearing a lot, don't you think?
can't even see how rude her titties may, or may not, be!
Got three gawking stares when I took off my jacket.
Yay boobies.
Didn't even refill the coffeepot

Although that wont stop me from complaining about it.
