I am a middle-aged woman but nevertheless pursued my college education while raising a child and working temp when needed. I recently received my BA in an Asian language, but due to illness right after graduation and the sucky economy all I could get was a temp job at a bank. Due to the “confidential” nature of the position (an admin in commercial loans) it had to be filled by a regular bank employee and not a temp. Well, my stupidvisor, “Yvette”, encouraged me to apply, buttered me up at every opportunity by telling me she perceived me as an intelligent, competent woman and urged me to “take ownership” of the job, (which I did, I absolutely kicked ass and the whole department knew it,) put me through not one but two rigorous panel interviews and during the process, would tell me things to encourage my hope of being hired, like “it’s looking good” and “believe in yourself” (visualize conspiratorial wink here) she even coached me for the 2nd interview. This is a woman who goes to every smoke break with the office creep, a guy I’ll call “Bob” with a mullet and tattooed forearms, whose idea of “teasing” is to throw things at me and he whines if I put daily reports in his inbox instead of on his keyboard(what the f*ck does he have an inbox for then?) and if I have the audacity to leave my desk to use the restroom (“I called your desk twice and you weren’t there!”) It’s called voice mail, butthead. I almost asked him if he needed me to follow him to the men’s room and wipe his widdle bum for him. When Yvette was out sick I was subjected to daily abuse from Bob, and knew that since those two are practically doing the nasty I didn’t dare report him, I would just have to put up with his crap or risk not getting a badly needed full time job. But I am digressing from this toxic woman who is best described by every synonym for “vagina” you’ve ever heard. Because yesterday, she told me the hiring decision that she made me wait 3 weeks for: she did not choose me, (there were 2 or 3 other managers involved in the decision but somehow, her being lowest rank gave her the deciding vote) but an internal candidate, (of course,) a “stellar” young man and she went on at some length singing his praises and revealed that the decision had been made several days before I was told (obviously so she could get as much work out of me as possible.) Well since there had been so much buildup and she’d made me feel that my being hired would be a sure thing, I couldn’t conceal my disappointment. She then became thoroughly smarmy, assumed I would stay two more weeks to help her with a project but she understood if I chose not to stay two weeks beyond that to train Mr. Stellar. This all happened Friday afternoon, I said nothing but do not plan to return except to gather the rest of my personal belongings which I was too distraught to collect before I left for the day, and to gladly surrender the temp badge I was compelled to wear. I’m perfectly happy to let Bright Boy figure out everything on that desk that no one else but me knows how to do. That is, after he serves out his 2 week notice from his current position, in the meantime, lying sack of shit, douchebag Yvette can certainly handle it! (cackle)”

“I currently temp for a law firm while trying to find a “real” job (since I sworn in as an attorney a few weeks ago). Since there was no more room at the firm, they’ve rented a one bedroom apartment for our portion of the office. Kinda weird, but eh.

So when I started this job there were a total of 6 of us. 3 rapidly quit (the job is henious and pays nothing). One spent his days – not kidding – SLEEPING IN THE BATHTUB AT WORK. For about two hours. When there is only one bathroom and the other two temps are banging on the door begging him to get out so they can use it.

Surprisingly (NOT), he was fired a few weeks later for failing the bar exam. Ah, well. Then the supervisor had the gall to ask the two of us left why we hadn’t told him sooner that 1) the guy was an idiot 2) who slept in bathrooms at work and 3) tended to steal office supplies. So that was fun.

Then they hired 6 more people and gave the other temp and I a “promotion.” We got to do extra work – training and supervising the new people – with no extra pay!!! And the best thing was that while we had no say in who they were, we got to see both their resumes and their rates. Well, gee whiz. The new folks were making over twice what we made. We asked for a raise – I quit, but I need the money. In the end we both got raises. The problem? My co-worker got $5 less an hour after the raise than I did, and I’m still paid less then the people I supervise!

We keep talking about our desperate need to quit. Maybe someday soon…”

I was a Crew Worker for the McDonalds in Marietta, GA…Because of the horrible job market as of late I had to settle for a job in the fast food industry(I’am 18). After meeting the Asst. Manager a couple of times I was hired, and the exposure to stupidity and laziness began. First, for some reason the management feels it is necessary to understaff on the busiest nights of the week, I believe this is for a bigger profit for the owner. I don’t mind being the long soldier on the GRILL..but doing 5 McChickens, Dropping meat and frying McNuggets at the same time is fatiguing and unecessary for the 6.25/hr I’am paid.

Secondly, The staff is made up of some of the most horny and lazy people I have ever met in my life. Whenever your Manager asks if you have “Big Meat” you know something is wrong. I have gotten used to seeing co-workers grope and coddle each other on a daily basis or go to the shed to retrieve “gloves”.

The rest of my co workers while good people are entirely lazy..This was made apparent by the constant walking off the job to talk, smoke or do anything else without telling the manager.

McDonald’s, I believe, is a good first job to those who want to exposed to the real world. It’s not all peaches and cream..It’ll definetely help motivate you to set high standards for yourself career wise. Currently, I’m doing something I love…Teaching computer courses at a local computer store and the pay is 9.25/hr!!!!

I work in a local hardware store. Recently, a new employee was hired to work at the store. On his first day on the job he announced to everyone that he was mechanical genius and smarter than everyone else. After several days on the job I realized he was a complete moron. First, he misspelled grease. He spelled it G-R-E-E-S. Second, he put together a wheelbarrow with the handles on backwards. The final convincing argument that he had the intellect of a 3 year old child was when he put together an extension cord with the same part on both ends(both ends could plug into a socket). When I told him he made a mistake he simply asked, “What’s wrong with it?”. All I could manage was a laugh.
