Yeah, yeah, you’re the Operations Manager, Mr. Important. You’ve managed to fool the President into thinking you have the slightest CLUE what you’re doing. The REST of us are doing YOUR job for 1/4 of your salary while you surf the Internet and schedule little league games for your kid. And the trips you take 5 times a year that you somehow manage to get paid vacation time for.
Good for you. Nobody responsible for paying you to do squat has figured it out yet. But do you HAVE to answer your God dammed Blackberry EVERY time it rings or you get an email during EVERY meeting you have with your staff ?
— it only rubs in how little you appreciate the fact WE’RE responsible for your cushy job

I hate the brain-dead crackberry fools.
When someone checks it when I’m talking to them, I either leave, or if I’m in my office, I call someone else on the phone.
Why on earth are you covering for this lazy fucker? I’d let him hang and twist in the wind.
Do you work at a Call Center, OP?
You work in a call centre (I can tell) – just stuck it up til something better comes along – or wait til he leaves then apply for his job and live the 37,900 a year high life.
The other day I was meeting with my boss on a serious customer service problem. He answered his phone twice. Afer the second call I told him “You pick that up again while we’re talking, and I will find a place to hang it up for you.”.
Fortunately he’s afraid of me…
Afraid of what ? Losing another easily hireable employee ? Oh do you have popeye pipes and a huge penis?
Maybe he’s not so replaceable, Hog…if you make yourself indispensable, there’s lots you can get away with!
I suppose so lehova you have a point there !!! I was just thinking of last person I fired off my crew and replaces 20 minutes later at “cash corner”.
I have yet to meet an “indispensable” employee in a job economy like this one.
Never said I was indispensable, people.
I said “…he’s afraid of me”.
BIG difference.
ahhhhh afraid as in ” i’ll beat your ass if you fire me ” afraid or “i’ll tell your wife who you fucked at the office party this Xmas ” afraid?
gotta love a bully, Gidget. Are you bragging or complaining? Either way…
There are plenty of employees that are indispensable, kay. The employee that comes in every day on time, never calls in sick, so on and so forth.
OP, don’t knock the job or the person that’s in it until you’ve done the job itself. Often, these guys take the job home, and vacations often turn into networking opportunities, or they end up just talking shop.
okay okay.. good help is hard to find. I guess what I meant is I have yet to meet an employee who CANNOT be REPLACED in said economic times. Better?
Wow, gotta love the way you go right to “bully”, kay. Projecting much?
Amazing how people take everything to “heart” around here…
“Afraid” as in “I could have his job if I wanted it, and do it far better”. And, yes, that’s true and yes it’s only a matter of time.
You are right, though, kay, you CAN REPLACE employees these days, but not necessarily with quality.
Then why DON’T you have his job gidget ? Whats stopping you ?
It’s an industry that’s new to me, so I am sucking his brain dry of all possible relevant information before throwing his dry husk into the unemployment line.
Also, he has kids to support. I don’t.
Why would that stop you . apparently you can do his job better then him . Why do you need to suck is brain dry if you obviously know more ? just asking why you want to suck someones ideas if yours are obviously better? Just asking . And him having kids shouldn’t matter. Theres other jobs out there and if your industry is any good – he’d have a nice retirement package to draw on .
Gidget .

Totally contradicts this:
“Afraid” as in “I could have his job if I wanted it, and do it far better”. And, yes, that’s true and yes it’s only a matter of time.
I’m “projecting”? Gidget is bragging (or complaining, we’re not sure yet) about exuding some quality that would cause his boss to fear him. I’ll bet that quality isn’t a set of angel wings and yeah, bully comes to mind. I hate them and they’re everywhere stomping on the small and weak.
Gidget sounds like my ex’s girlfriend- she thinks she scares and intimidates everyone…but truth is, she’s just a rude, classless, fat bitch and everyone rolls their eyes at her.
“she’s just a rude, classless, fat bitch and everyone rolls their eyes at her.”
Oh you poor dear…your ex’s girlfreind is Kay?
DER, remember you hate me because I’m not a fatty-fat-fat. Bitch.
Kay…several of your posts have really not made sense tonight (more so than usual)…have you gotten into the wobbly sauce?
Something tells me you and I would have an absolute blast sharing this “sauce”, DER.
Fat… I picked up that term here… it was in the same ancient post that cunty-cunt-cunt appeared in (I seem to recall DER writing that). You must get tired of seeing your posts disappear, eh? I thought Andy sent the rules right to your inbox? tsk tsk tsk
Andy never sent anything. Its nice when you cry about being bullied only because it somehow benefits you. How do you even live this long without the Internet?
And my posts disappearing? Woah. That – one – went – right – through – the – heart. *dies*
Don’t paint me a criminal junkie and leave my kid alone and your posts will survive. You know that. Smarten up, Fat… if that’s possible.
Oh I wouldn’t have used the C word…though I am divorced now, that word was wholly and completely excised from my vocabulary. The wife (ex) really didn’t like me using that word when I stubbed my toe etc…and made her point sufficiently enough that I am fairly certain most women dislike that word a great deal. I refrain from using it at all…heck the only place I hear it used now is here…and alot I might add.
I can always dumb it down but I don’t believe in coming down to your level =)
And if posts disappear my life still continues. And if you can shit on people you don’t know, I can shit on your kid who I don’t know.
Now run along, do another rail and write a post about how evil NS is. Then you can have a snausage.
Oh, I can guess….
Maybe you should REGISTER.COMplaint?
