Stupid CoWorkers

August 12, 2008

I work at a transportation company in nothern California. I have been here for just over 4 years. Im a young person in my early twenties, and most of my co workers are female and between the ages of 50 and 65. With the exception of one woman, these other women are the most idiotic people I have ever met in my life. They do their jobs half assed and try to make me cover the rest. At the same time they are giving over their responsibilities to me they are talking about me non stop- about my clothes, tattoos, etc.. And how I dont understand their point of view because I am so young. They are completely conservative and close minded.

I used to be the Operations Manager for a large Mobile Health System (Ambulance company). OUr company offered many services including paramedics, 911 Basic Life Support (BLS) and non-emergency BLS (Taking people from the hospital to a nursing home or other long term care facility). My story revolves around 2 crews (4 people) who worked on one of our non-emergency BLS contracts with a local hospital.

I received a call one day from an off-duty police officer stating that he had witnessed the 4 people going into a movie theater….in uniform!!! According to police officer (who was in line behind the EMTs), the EMTs talked their way into getting into the movie without paying, and even requested free soda and popcorn.

Me: “Can I help you with anything sir?”

Customer: “Yes, I’m looking for some shrimp.”

Me: “Shrimp is in the seafood department, right over there.”

Customer: “See, I don’t want to boil them, I just want to barbecue them.”

Me: “Okay, well, they should be in the seafood department.”

Customer: “But I want to barbecue them. Could you get me a pound of shrimp?”

Me: “I’m sorry sir, we don’t have shrimp in the deli.”

Customer: “Why don’t you have any?”

Me: “We only have deli meat and cheese in the deli. The seafood department has shrimp, just over there.”

Customer: “Why?”

Me: “Because shrimp are seafood… they live in the sea.”

Customer: “… really?”

Stupid Bosses

So, I started a new job several months ago. I was happy with the move and thought I had finally found a place where incompetent and neurotic people were gone. Unfortunately not so.

Turns out my boss is an idiot. Sure, he knows a small portion of the overall scheme of our little department, but has absolutely no idea what my part is. (and I do have one, mind you!)
