Re: Rant Thread

Work is dead. If work is dead, I do less services. If I don't do a certain amount of services, I make only minimum wage, and am bored to tears. There is no room for growth in my small town, and everyone is awful. I just want to enjoy my job and get paid, damn it!

Re: Rant Thread

are you talking in general, or was it just for the holiday today? (though I guess I'm surprised in your line of work you wouldn't have *more* people in on a non-major holiday)

Re: Rant Thread

[nonnymouscawitz]

In general. We didn't even get the pre-Christmas rush we were expecting!

Today was actually decent because everyone was off and one of my regulars was in, but most days I do three people and stare at my coworkers for a bit.

Re: Rant Thread

That's too bad, I'm sorry! :(

I get so bored in situations like that. I mean at least at my job, I work by myself in a room and have work that ebbs and flows, and I have the internet if I get bored (like right now heh). But your job is public-facing so you can't really do that, except maybe play on your phone? (dunno how your boss is about that)

Re: Rant Thread

[nonnymouscawitz]

Yeahhh my boss waffles a bit because she doesn't care if we're on our phones in the back room, but some coworkers have been abusing the privilege and ignoring customers (WE ONLY GET A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE DO YOUR JOB). So it's a tentative yes.

ugh people who ruin things for everyone are the worst

Is there any way to get out of your town?

Re: Rant Thread

[nonnymouscawitz]

Unfortunately not at the moment. I'm having trouble building some savings and there's some issue with my LDR. He's supposed to be coming up here in the next few months, but if he doesn't do that I have an opportunity to live with a friend an hour away in a much bigger area. I'll know more after income tax comes in, but I'm stuck for now.

Been there. I hate those days. You're just standing around and basically thinking, "Why even have me come into work today?"

And the minimum wage/lack of growth thing makes it even more frustrating. Hard to get motivated for your job when it doesn't feel like it's going to go anywhere or pay anything decent to live on.

Re: Rant Thread

[nonnymouscawitz]

Yep. And we can't leave more than a few minutes early no matter how dead. And honestly, if we are busy I'm thrilled to work with clients, but if I've had two people all day and someone walks in it's irritating, for reasons I can't quite fathom beyond 'ughhhhh where were you three hours ago.' Not the client's fault, but a struggle nonetheless.

Re: Rant Thread

I get this feeling at work a lot too, like when we're busy I don't even think much about the rush (unless I have other things to do and then sometimes I have a moment of 'could you all leave for just five minutes so I could get this stuff done'). But on slow days I find myself feeling oddly resentful when we have rush moments, like where were you people all day why did you all come in *now.*

Re: Rant Thread

[nonnymouscawitz]

That's exactly it. Especially if I've just sat down to eat or something like that (Side note: if there's even the slightest chance I'm about to get my hair styled by a coworker, people will walk in. Doesn't matter if we've been dead all day and there's six feet of solid ice outside. They will army crawl in if they have to.)

I work retail and I know this feeling all too well. I don't mind it when it's a busy day and there are lots of customers, but if it's a slow day and someone walks in, my first thought is always "ugh go away." I don't even know why that is.

They're interrupting my nice peaceful 'sit around and do nothing' time.
