I dont know if people actually get stupider and more worthless when danny's off, or if its just that when he isnt in im more acutely aware of how unbelievably dumb they are because I have twice as much work to do in the same number of hours and am more therefore sensitive to having my time wasted by inane queries from subliterate fucktards, or if their halfwittery simply isnt as bad when theres two of us to handle it, but ive spent the week yet again doing the job of two full-time employees and I am ready that burn that fucking shithole to the ground.

in any normal office, if you knew one person was covering a whole department by herself, you'd either do what you could to alleviate some of the pressure, or at least try not to add to it unnecessarily. not come flapping and faffing and bothering someone whose doing three things at once - three things, by the way, that involve BRINGING MONEY INTO THIS CESSPOOL OF A COMPANY SO IF YOU WANT TO GET PAID AT THE END OF THE MONTH MAYBE YOU SHOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP - because, OH NO, this bill looks weird.

I am not the billing department. actually, YOU'RE from the billing department. sit the fuck down and shut up.

OH NO THIS GUY NEEDS HIS DIRECT DEBIT CANCELLING.

he pays on a standing order. you can tell because next to each and every one of those payments, it says "standing order". try to read, you fucking moron.

OH NO HAVE YOU SEEN THIS EMAIL? LET ME READ IT OUT LOUD TO YOU ACROSS THE OFFICE!

do I actually have to tell you how to forward me a fucking email? it is not done verbally. go home, kill your children, then kill yourself.

HEY IT IS QUARTER TO FIVE AND YOU ARE AWAY FROM YOUR DESK LOCKING UP CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE WEEKEND, TIME TO COMPLAIN TO YOUR SUPERVISOR!

This shit again? Really? Go fuck yourselves. As this was the supervisor of the person who pulled that stunt last time, and thetime before that, I guess now I know where it comes from. I am not a call centre. I do not have to be available to you and your staff of derpflids 100% of the time. Die in a fire.

HEY ITS ONE MINUTE PAST FIVE, ANSWER THIS QUERY REAL QUICK.

Sure. The answer is, I hope you get raped by hornets. I'm leaving now, feel free to be hit by a car over the weekend, you fucking cunt.

I honestly think the 'problem' is that you're efficient and good at your job. Sadly people don't think that people like us should be rewarded for being capable, instead we should get more shit piled on us and then get treated like we're incompetent when we finally drop one of the many balls we're expected to juggle.

I know it's impossible not to get all caught up in it, but just raise a mental middle finger to them all and enjoy the weekend for a bit.

this, exactly! thank you for putting it better and less sweary than I could. like, the average employee does eight things, you do twelve, but when you arent fast enough doing the thirteenth, youre an idiot and why cant you be fast like the people doing a third less work than you?

a few months ago my company started Making everyone fill out timesheets so they can track what everyone does all day, and I didnt like it because I find it micromanaging and infantalising, but on the plus side it shows exactly how much I do and how up to scratch my two-person department is. so if any of this was official I have proof of how awesome I am and how much customer services should stfu, but instead its these weird underhanded powerplays that achieve nothing for them and make my job harder.

and it just makes no sense, like, why piss off and alienate your actually talented members of staff? at this stage im trying to just get in the mindset of "im supergood at my job, if you dont agree, its a failure in comprehension on your part, youre stupid and wrong, goodbye." some days it goes better than others. many days, there is vodka.

Heh, I was still a little sweary.

I have a guy that I work with and he's lazy and unwilling to even do his main duties in the job. During one of his recent one-to-one meetings one of his targets was "to leave the office for at least half an hour". This is a job that requires you to be not sitting on your arse in front of the computer for the vast proportion of the day. Meanwhile I'm given targets that are impossible for me to hit during my working hours because I'm already running flat out and will have to eat into my own time (and in some cases, my own money) to complete them.

Those time sheets are unbelievably insulting! And a complete waste of everyone's time if they don't use them to see how hard you're working compared to others. But use them to your advantage, if they don't ask them them themselves, have a meeting and show them what you're doing and challenge them to compare what you're doing to your hours/job description/what they reasonably expect of you in your job.

Managers don't understand how to show appreciation to their members of staff that work hard for them. They know we won't say anything, and when we burn out, they can blame us for standards suddenly dropping. Sometimes you have to force the to see what you're doing for them.
