I really hate this place.

customer A. constantly finds fault with almost everything I do with them & it's all through 1 manufacturer where our boss (regional mgr) is buddy/buddy with the branch manager at this place.

I have instructions from the manufacturer what they will & won't do. This place constantly contests them - get the ok from the manufacturer & then says I don't go above & beyond for them.

me: Price increase tomorrow.

customer: WTF?!? unacceptable!

me: umm sorry?

customer calls manf. & gets them to give them an extension - says I should have done that, NOBODY ELSE TOOK EXCEPTION TO IT.


customer: we're missing stuff & didn't sign short for it.

me: (yes this is what I have to do) sorry, manf X's policy is - you need to count the stuff when you get it, not stick it somewhere & comeback to me later saying you're missing stuff.

what do they do? They go to the manufacturer who then tells me to do the paperwork to give them a credit. I am the bad person here.

I am also the bad person if I just tell these guys "hey you need to just leave me out of it & call them since everything I tell you is wrong all the time" "it's obvious I can't help you" I have to keep on getting thrown under the buss.


No raise in I don't know how long 2007 maybe? probably earlier than that, no feeling that someone's got my back - asshole customers.


I get here 1st & leave last - everyone else takes half the f@#king day off because?

I'd rather be getting paid more for the work they can't/ won't do. I'll stop posting on s2ki on "company" time when they stop:

drinking during lunch & taking long lunches almost every day

playing golf video games

watching golf on TV AT WORK.

umm being closed (well they're closed & inaccessible for the day) not vacation, golf. But I get to stay at the office & work while they play golf.

just sayin'

moddiction seems to be out of stock on a lot of stuff, I wanted to get an anvil II for a while now and they have been out of stock in every color and finish for what seems like forever.

sounds like a really shitty environment, man. sorry to hear you're dealing with such a caustic situation -- that's the type of stuff that really breeds discontent.
