      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:340/1000 6aa63088       REPLY: 1:229/426 4FADAC8E       TZUTC: -0700        AT> Why do people go that route? Why do people kiss butt on the job? Or at        AT> least, why do people kiss but on low wage jobs? Workplace politics are              I've worked in retail the past several years & still have had the same job       2.5 years. The last part is VERY important. Anyway...last week I was called       into the manager's office for the 1st time and had a "discussion" about my       "attitude". Add to that...he was concerned I was not a "team player".              In terms of kissing brown...I've had "customers" (less than human beings) who       have no problem screaming at the top of their lungs how much of an a**hole I       am if I don't/won't assume the position. This is the 1st time anything the       managers have said anything at all to me...with never having been written up       about anything. Rarely ever call off sick...except if I am death's door.              At the other one...the "team" player remark come from another employee in       another department who refuses to look for anyone else to help move whatever       it might be. I get busy & tell her...I'm not a "team" player. Maybe I       should've asked her if she wanted to install shower rails on my arse to help       her have an even better method to help herself.               AT> disgusting. All honest employees deserve equal respect. I even saw a        AT> dude give a shoulder massage in his suckery. They promoted him quickly.              I ended up applying for/getting an overnight position stocking the       shelves...which means no dealing with jerks...sorry customers or needing to       bend over to make other employees look good. People think this is a bad move       for me...but at least it keeps me out of prison by not hurting someone who       deserves it. I can go into work...do my job with my music playing & go home.       F*** everyone else & their feelings of getting in the way of the       employees/managers not making big enough of a bonus to take care of their       mistresses.       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2020/09/12 (Windows/32)        * Origin: 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 (1:340/1000)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 57/0 80/1 88/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 218/700 220/70 221/0 1 6 226/17 30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 700 1016 1017 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 267/800 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 288/100 292/854 8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 301/113 310/31 317/3 322/757 340/1000 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/0 1 100 340 772/0 1 220 230 801/188 197 202 900/100       SEEN-BY: 900/106 108 902/6 7 25 26 27 920/1 2452/250 5058/104       PATH: 340/1000 770/1 280/464 292/854 301/1 80/1 902/27 90/1 229/426           |
