Stupid Bosses

I work at the front desk of a small, privately owned hotel in Rochester, NY. I was really excited when I started working here last August. The hours line up well with my fiance’s, the pay isn’t terrible, and I thought it would be interesting and not too stressful. That was until I found out that I was expected to work 8 hours without any kind of a break (I’m grudgingly allowed to eat a quick dinner at the front desk while I’m working). My boss (as well as most of the guests) treats me like a servant and never talks to me. He might say “hello” if he’s feeling particularly benevolent.

My boss is just a witch, plain and simple. I don’t know if it’s her “time of the month” or what. Perhaps she’s entering menopause. Whatever it is, I’m just about ready to tell her to f-off.

Simple, basic business questions are answered with “well, isn’t that what I just said?” What she claims are words she’s speaking are in all actuality just grunts. I do not know grunt language.

I worked at a kids amusement park for a year. Before this job, I worked at a popcorn place. I got this job on a whim because I filled out an application as a joke 😛

This job, obviously, is HELL. Kids throw up on you, parents YELL at you 24/7, there’s always long line ups, and people yelling, being impatient, etc.

I hated that I operate rides ALONE, when I’m social and would prefer to be talking to people. This job made me sad. This park also likes to give inadequate training and forces you to operate rides even if you feel you aren’t trained enough to do it!

ALONE, HELL, job, YELL

Wow, where do I start? My Pizza Boss is the ultimate scumbag micro-manager. This guy is so sad he never stays in one job for any length of time because if he did, the owners would figure out he permeates with poor performance. How does this guy survive? From what I am told, he has a buddy from international that’s in Ann Arbor and they wipe each other’s ass. He always talks about no buddy system allowed in the company, what a crock from the main buddy system sucker I have ever seen. You hear about micro-managers all the time, but he is the worst of the worst. This guy has no trust in any person whatsoever that they can do their job properly, he literally thinks he is the only one who can do the job…..which is unbelievably ironic when he fails miserably in most everything he touches.
