My first rant was three times as long, but the interwebs eatz it up. Too bad.
1. Punk ass skateboarding kids. What the fuck makes these little twerps think they can come into any business they want, shoplift, and harass the employees?
I had the pleasure of tearing apart 15 of these little skateboarding shitheads because they made one of my employees cry. They contribute absolutely nothing to the community and bitch about everything.
Guess what? You do not have the right to skateboard wherever you want. You don't have the right to hang out at a mall if you don't buy anything. You don't have the right to steal from businesses, or to pull pranks of people that actually work.
For the next week, if you look like this:
I'm kicking you out immediately. No questions, no arguing. Any complaints will get you either a busted kneecap or a ride in a cop car. End. Of. Discussion.
2. Why the fuck does the store owner drive a car that costs more than most of the cars her employees own? Why do the store owners live on a lot in the most expensive track in the city, when most of their employees can hardly afford rent in 20-year-old, shitty apartments? Why am I getting bitched at because our workers aren't motivated when I, a manager, can't afford to drive my truck a quarter mile to work? What's the problem here?
Offer decent wages, get decent workers. Pay shit, and good workers will literally float in randomly. And they'll leave when they realize they are worth more than the $7.5 people get to start. $7.5 at 80 hours a payperiod hardly gets most people by around here. I'm making $9 and I can hardly make the bills. So why the fuck does the store owner's daughter wear designer clothes?
I live on the Kenai Peninsula. Google it. We have 52,000 people here. She has to drive three fucking hours to get the clothes that cost more than my bi-weekly paycheck.
If they were decent human beings they would stop offering incentives for the managers and start offering them to the crew. Kind words and encouragement don't keep the stove lit, people.
I'm getting bitched at because I actually work for my paycheck. Their logic? I wear through too many uniforms. Fuck that. I will always work at least as hard as the people I lead. I'll never ask them to do something I wouldn't do myself. Any incentives I get, I split with whoever I worked with that day.
And it pisses off my employers to no end.
3. Shitty day today. Came in to find my schedule totally fucked. Had three people after eight pm...no. Wait. Two people. One had to do dishes. When we needed 6 people, I had to work with two. Fucking two. And we get reamed every week because times could be better. Know what? Give me the fucking people!
Give me the tools I need and I'll blow your mind with what I can accomplish. Shaft me, then criticize me because I can't make up for your shortcomings, and I'll work elsewhere.
I have a construction job offer in April. I'm gonna take it. I can't agree with a corporate vision if the field consultant wears a rolex while the people he inspects can hardly afford to live.
Cheeseburgers don't mean a damn in the long run. Building an apartment that houses 15 families means more than padding the pocket of some greedy piece-of-shit dirtbag. I can't care about how many fucking big macs I sell each day and hear about him whine that he's only making ten cents profit per mac. I know full well the fountain drinks are pure profit and we sell enough of them to put an Ethiopian village into diabetic shock.
I can get a three dollar raise from this, and they finally stopped pestering me about the dollar raise I can get from going to class. I just want to shout "It's McDonald's! Nobody gives a fuck how many cheeseburgers you make!" In the end these people are still being held down. They are still being underpaid for their work, and the ladder is simply too short for some of us to make what we deserve.
If I ever have a business, and I intend to, I won't live any better than my employees. If the business prospers, then so do they, and so do I. But if business is slow, I'll take the hit before anyone I employ. Just doesn't seem right to hire 100+ people and pay them shit so you can live in extravagant comfort. I won't show off $100 bills in my wallet when people under me are taking home boxes each night to heat their homes.
It literally makes me sick seeing this.
Im going to rip the store owner an asshole so wide he can shove his yearly bankrole up to his kidney. I can't wait. I'm sick of this shit. I have a month.
