I must disagree. The people I work with are dedicated to their jobs.






I'm a lazy fuckwit.

What's happening over your way, nigel?

Not so much lazy as lacking initiative or just general common sense and being able to think for themselves. Life is not rocket science. :roll:

coz i work with f*ckwits in all directions.
im not exactly on the bottom rung of the food chain here but my superiors are of a gentle persuasion and dont like to be confrontational , even if it means i have to take over an hour extra to do something coz of someones ineptitude.

i really do feel a change in job comming on.
i think i will become a tattoo artist.
£650 for the training course , £500 for a start up kit , £200 for the autoclave.(ive got plenty of friends to practice on.....)
not too expensive really

Everyone I work with is either lazy, retarded, or generally both. That's on my shift anyway.

Muggins here has to do the majority of the work and clear up everyone else's mistakes.

Except the days I decide "f**k it" and then everything goes to hell.

Yes. There's another woman at work who does the same job as me but very part time inbetween playing golf (god I hate part timers and golf). So, the majority of the time I am there on my own (that I have to admit I prefer, I get on with work better on my own), so if there is something that she has left for me to do that I have no idea is there, then it doesn't get done. Then the patient comes in and says "where are my mothers life-saving Neo Recormon injections?" and I say "what ones would they be I know nothing about them". Then I have a look in the clip and I see that she hasn't ordered it because she doesn't like using the b loody phone and I look like an idiot when in fact I am f ucking great at my job. It would seem that my life would be easier if I just checked the clip when she has been in for anything she can't be bothered to do, but sometimes I do just feel like saying sod it.

As supervisor in a complaints department, most of my time is spent sorting out problems caused by lazy and/or stupid colleagues.

Still, it keeps me in a job...

In the first couple of years in my current job I gave 150%. I ran the dept in the managers hols etc for no extra money. Then I looked around and saw that most other people were just taking it easy for the same money. Then a new manger took over and my face didn't seem to fit so now i give about 20% on a good day. Am currently looking for something else. Gissa job! :cry:

Similar here. The new manager did actually like me but didn't have the experience or strength of personality to run the department properly - so instead restructured the whole way the team was run based on 'input' from other possibly well-meaning but ultimately clueless managers.

She has now been put on a special 'project' but her temporary replacement has just carried on all the same bad habits. Again, to be fair, because he doesn't know any better.

End result: I come in for 7 hours each day and do what I'm told to do. No more, no less.
