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.
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 for a state government as a clerk in a records department. My responsibilities involve copying requested records, filing incoming records, stuff like that. I have a great supervisor snf the work is interesting. Unfortunately since we are going paperless my job is being phased out and so I am going elsewhere.
I am a male teacher in a catholic girls’ school. There are about 20 male teachers in a staff of 100. Six months after I take the job my crazy boss decides that she wants all male staff to wear ties. Our female colleagues all dress decently but certainly not at a “corporate” standard. We have protested, our union has too and I (sadly alone) have consistently refused to wear a tie. I dress neatly and professionally at all times, usually in a suit.
