In fact the only recognition I ever tend to get at jobs is the recognition that I didn’t do enough, no matter how much I do they find something…

So, I decided to use their own backwards ways against them, and it worked.

Basically, for the next 3 and a half years I only really worked the way they would want me to work when one of my bosses or snitching co-workers (i hate co-workers also) was around.

The bosses still pointed out whatever faults they could find, but ironically they always seemed to only need to point out one or two no matter the situation.

Mainly because my job at wal-mart wasn’t in a structured work setting… they put me there and told me to “do whatever needs to be done that you see”, and expected me to diligently bust my ass as hard as possible.

Well they didn’t expect it, but it’s what they would have liked the most. Unfortunatly, because they “expected it”, you never got any recognition for doing so, however, they didn’t really know what was my best work and what was my half-assed work… so I just did the half-assed work and it worked out fine for me.

I went from working my ass off for 8 hours, to reading a book for about 3 or 4 hours a day especially if I closed my department and no one was around… and, I stll got my scheduled raises, and I still got bitched at for missing this or that…

I suppose it’s obvious what I’m getting at.

If the company wants to fuck you, then try and fuck the company at it’s own game… notice established patterns and flaws and take advantage of them for yourself.

If you see that your boss takes a 25 minute break when she/he should only be taking a 15 minute break, see if you can get away with taking a 20 minute break, let em get used to it… increase the time to 21…

be as PETTY as you can because you can derive enormous pleasure from any spiteful dime you feel you are getting for free.

Why do you deserve that free dime? Because if you worked twice as hard it would still only be a dime… you deserve it because your company is stupid, and it’s stupidness can lead to your being taken advantage of unless you take advantage of it.

I recently quit my job. I gave them 3 weeks notice. My last 3 weeks were pure and utter hell. I wish that at the time I would have had the boldness to simply say “fuck you” and gotten the hell out sooner!

As high-minded as the idea of searching until you find The Right Job is, it’s not practical. Few to no companies are going to want to negotiate about salary, and sometimes, as sucky as it is, you have to suck it up and deal with it. But if (and I suspect this was the case here) the shitty salary was not the only problem with the job, then yes, leave. And no, if a job treats you poorly, I see no reason to give them notice. There have only been one or two jobs which I have left abruptly - and they were for damn good reasons.

But I digress. The point is that I found this article bolstered my confidence a little. I fear I may be leaving my current job very soon, and were I not fond of the people I work with (not including my boss), and if I didn’t know that by cutting out like that it would be them, not my bastard boss, that I’d be causing trouble for, I’d probably leave the same way V did.

So yes, Fuck Them.

But do it quietly, until you find the appropriate-sized rock.

THEY TREAT YOU LIKE SHIT.

No one, regardless of holding a paycheck over your head or not, should be able to do that. ESPECIALLY if they are holding a paycheck over your head, because they are not supposed to be some smart mouthed kid off the street, but an adult with the responsibility.

If you can’t talk to your employees without looking down on them, then YOU should stop being an employer.
Do not even think of bringing up what is wrong with them because YOU hired them and are just proving you screwed that up to.
Idiots.
Get a job.

An article I read touched a nerve with me:
Don’t Treat Your Employers Better Than They Treat You
When did working for an organization become a privilege? Employers today seem to think that the lines of communications with their employers don’…
