The other day, one of my bosses wanted me (and another "secretary") to send out 200 letters within 2 hours. We had to fold the letter, put them into envelopes, put mailing labels on them and place them in a box. So my colleague and I sat down and began to work. Shortly after, my boss walked in and told us to stand up an do it. She watched us the whole time so I could not sit. Now my back hurts a lot. Boo hoo...
Today one of my bosses yelled at me. I think I'll call him Mr. Crap. Grrr!!!! He told me that he was missing a document from me. I remembered that I put it on his desk with all his other documents and asked if I could look through it. He told me, "No! I already looked through it and it's not there!" I went back to my office and looked around for it but could not find it. I was nervous to call him back but I did, only to find out that I had INDEED placed it on his desk and he overlooked it.
I was working on a project for someone and I messed up so many times... Everytime I showed her my completed task, she'd find an error. I wasted so much time, energy, and paper. (My bosss keep track of how much paper is used every month.) I wanted to hide in a corner. I felt bad and stressed out. Soon my mid-probabtion evaluation is coming up and I know one of my bosses will hear about this.
There was a campaign kick-off to raise money for the organization that I work at. It was mandatory so I had to go. They ended up showing a sappy movie with "inspirational" music. It made cringe and also made me very annoyed. AND they wanted everyone to donate money. I want to donate to the needy but the fact is that I feel like if I donated to the organization that I work at, I am basically working for a crappy boss w/out pay. I will definitely donate something but not sure if I will donate to the place I work.
Someone asked me to pull somes files on some of the higher ranking people in the place I work. This person wanted to know how much these people donated last year and last this year. It was very sad to see that all these people making at least $50,000 a year who didn't give a dime! One of the people I work with earns significantly less than that (as do I) and even this person gave SOMETHING.
Why is it that a lot of selffish, grouchy, moody, arrogant people get high positions in organizations, rankings etc?
When I told Mr. Crap that I was very busy because I was working on something that was do ASAP, he told me that he didn't care and that I would need to "figure it out".
Sometimes I really HATE working here.
On the bright side, the weather is nice. :)
