OK, to start with let me say that this was my first job out of uni, so I was quite naive about what to expect from a boss. There is no way I would tolerate this sort of behaviour now!
As mentioned above, I got my first real job working for a company that organised international Science conferences. My role was to help organise the conferences, sort out exhibitors, help monitor budgets, advertising, marketing, membership etc. In fact, pretty much everything.
Mom: Where’s your shoe?
Little boy: I don’t know.
Mom: Where did you lose your shoe? You can’t just lose your shoe. How can you keep walking around after you lost your shoe without noticing it? Where did you lose your shoe? You’re crazy.
My boss is a damned idiot of epic proportions. Lazy, fainéant, idle, indolent, slothful.
I think you are a ‘goldbricker’: an idle, worthless person.[syn: victimize, swindle, rook, nobble, diddle, bunco, defraud, scam, mulct, gyp, con] 2: avoid (one’s assigned duties); “The derelict soldier shirked his duties” [syn: fiddle, shirk, shrink from]-(used courtesy of dictionary.com).
I work in a regional chain grocery store in the deli-bakery department for the past 17 years.
My new boss woman came from another store.She is lazy-has others to do her work and nasty-will not throw out out-of-date- food,tries to “convert it”by selling it on the hot line.
Any time you suggest anything to improve sales,etc. she gets whiney and starts yakking” that she knows what she’s doing,been doing her job for 22 years,etc.etc”.So it’s pointless
The only reason why my store manager keeps her, is that no-one wants the job.However, the department sales are $30,000 less than last years’ sales.
