Then one kid gets promoted from sales to clerical, and he's bossing everyone else around, saying he can't lose his job...he threatens to fire people...my boss has been teaching him to do my job...and I'm 80% sure they're doing each other, because this kid has no real qualifications to be working here. And it's just sick too, because my boss is old enough to be a pedophile...and this kid is just a friggin' kid.
I used to worry about how my job was nothing more than slightly higher pay, no real difference in responsibility, and zero control over these fools. Now I don't give a damn - as soon as I find a different job, this whole mess can burn in hell, for all I care.
(PS - another new guy brought in a fat 3" knife everyday to work. A girl asks for him to open her calculator package. What does he do? Whips out the knife, skewers the box, and ruins our countertop in one move. Did he get fired? Nope - now he works more hours than I do.)
(PPS - Another new guy is a pretentious ass who shoots his mouth off about all women being good for nothing so-and-sos...AND HE DOES IT RIGHT TO THE FACES OF OUR COSTUMERS. Like a friggin' PR nightmare, he is. And not getting fired, either.)
