I am my own boss so I can complain to myself, doesn't work though especially when I ask for a raise!

Being your own boss = epic win.

Except for the 80-120 hour work-weeks, etc.

The other person: "Do you have the vertical ones?"
My manager: "No but I have the HORIZONTICAL ones."

Yeah...

LOL

I got my "mid-year evaluation" from my manager and it truly reads like it was written and proofread by a 7th-grader. How am I supposed to take her seriously with all the mis-spells, the lack of re-reading.... And to think she's also supposed to be promoting accuracy.

I work at Blockbuster and all of our customers are dumb assholes. Everyone with half a brain uses Netflix now. All of our customers have eight kids that tear up everything and no one knows what alphabetical order is. No we don't have a copy of that new shitty movie that we only have 3 copies of in the dropbox. You wanted to rent it, not buy it? Can't you see their is a price sticker on it? You don't have a blu ray player but you still picked up 8 blu ray movies? I hate everyone

So I've been working at the same store for a year and a half. We got a new manager maybe 3 weeks ago. She is an assistant manager...not the main manager. She seemed pretty cool and we were joking around the last 2 times I worked with her.

Tonight was the first night she was closing and in charge. I clocked in at 4:55 and went to the bathroom and to get some water. At 5:00 I hear "Ryan to the front please!" then at 5:01 I hear "Ryan to register 1 please!" I'm like what the fuck hold on a second. Keep in mind I do this every time I go to work. I like to just go to the damn bathroom and get some water really quick then start.

So I walk up there and she gets in my face and is like "where were you? you need to be ready to work when you clock in. You need to go to the bathroom and get water THEN clock in. People have to go home. Do you understand?!"

I'm like WTF lady? Later on in the night she accused me of lying asking if I didn't get a cart she asked me to get (which I did) then asked me if I wore my smock. I never wear one. I haven't ever. I don't have to.

I hate new managers that try to take over and act like they're the all mighty boss of the greatest corporation ever, Freds.

Ha, awesome. I used to go to Blockbuster all of the time... 20 years ago. How is this company still in business? These pricks are also why it costs $20 to buy a new DVD nowadays instead of the ten bucks we were paying a few years ago.

My mananger treats me pretty well, but he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does and he just gets in the way. What makes it worse is he'll pretend like he knows shit to impress his own manager or other people. Most of the time when he does this, he's making guesses, but talks like he's the expert. Essentially, he doesn't know that his role is to be a manager and just a manager and that he shouldn't get his hands in stuff he doesn't know about.

Today my boss called me by the wrong name. I've been there for over a month and today in a meeting he kept calling me Jack...

I'm treated really well here. Probably because I'm the only guy in a team of six people, and I'm goddammned charming. Plus, 5 weeks of PTO a year is hard to beat.

Okay, so I've somehow just agreed to go to Golden Corral for lunch tomorrow with the rest of the IT staff. No one ever speaks at these gatherings, we just listen to each other chew and I try to not kill myself. It's already been a hell of a week and I need a pep talk to get through this. Please help me.

ugh sounds horrible.

Just blast some crusty ass black metal in the office before you leave so the rest can hear, that'll lighten the mood for sure!

Haha, I guess I'm the only one who actually likes my job/boss.
