I finally got a job at a big company as a contractor (AKA temp, 12 month contract, when 12 months are up, you leave the company but can come back if they call you. Or you can get hired as a regular employee) and this is my 4th week in. I REALLY like my job. I'm a "material handler" AKA stockroom person. I just go through job lists, get the parts together and either give it to assemblers to build it, or bag/tag it and ship it out. I actually really like to organize things, even at home, so this job fits me very well. Very easy, no brain required. Plus, I've been told by MANY people that I am a very hard worker, I put my best effort at whatever I attempt/do, and I actually care about the quality of the job unlike most people. A lot of the office people I work with have already acknowledged my hard efforts and constantly thank me for making their job easier.

But it absolutely amazes me how many people are pieces of motherfucking s**t. There's another guy I work with that is a material handler as well. He's been there for 3 weeks longer than I have. We have our own little area. He pisses me off every f**king day. Every Friday, he cleans up 45 minutes early then sits there and twiddles his thumbs. Lately, he's been on his phone a lot. Now I can understand emergencies or family business... But walking away for 10-20 minutes at at time, multiple times a day, multiple days a week? Really? Just go home dude. Stop stealing money from the company. Or when he's actually working on something, he works ssssooooo sssllllloooowwww. Now I know everyone has their work pace. But this job seriously requires no brain. And he takes his sweet ass time. If we worked on the same exact job, I can guarantee I'd get it done at least 3-5 times faster. And he has NO COMMON SENSE. COME ONNNNN. When he does something wrong, he blames it on the person who trained him. "Well I never got a proper training". I don't give a flying f**k. You can't be trained to have common sense. Figure s**t out on your own. Don't rely on people to hold your hand. He told me, "You're a really good worker. You learned really fast". Yeah no s**t you dumbfuck, I have common sense and can put 2 and 2 together and learn how the system works. You rely on someone to tell you how to put 2 and 2 together. Good God.

Not only him, but other people I watch work at this company. How the hell do some people have jobs that they have?

Motherfucking piece of s**t cock ass b***h!!!!! Don't care if this gets closed. I have to vent this because I seem to be one of the very few people at all the jobs I've worked with who give a flying f**k about actually working and not being a piece of s**t. Even at my previous jobs, so many people got hired and left within a few weeks (sometimes shorter). Really? It's not hard. Just do it. People are so lazy. I actually asked my boss today if I could have over-time. Yeah, I actually want to work MORE than 40 hours a week. It's a new thing these days.

I worked with dumb/lazy people like that in a kitchen where we cleaned dishes and organized stuff EVERY day... so it was the SAME routine every damn day. The people still sucked at their jobs and no matter how much I tried to explain things.. it did no good. I've come to believe that some people are just naturally dumb and have no common sense. Just do your own work and leave them do their own shitty job... eventually it will catch up with them, or you could leave the company and move on to bigger and better things while they stay there doing a shitty job.

welcome to life... people are like that these days at jobs. people are lazy and dont want to work, they just want to be paid, and will do the BARE minimum to achieve that. you will come across this at every job you have my friend... and the people who do things like that are usually suck ups/ brown nosers and theifs.

Hell to the nah! The company I work with provides AMAZING benefits if I were to get hired as a regular employee. It's not what I want to do but if I can get hired, I can start building my 401k, have medical/dental, the whole 9. And I'm only 23. It would be kick-ass to be able to be completely self-sufficient and not rely on my parents for those kinds of things. The earlier I invest into my retirement, the happier and less stressful I'll be when I get there. What I want to pursue is music (specifically singing) which can be done on the side anyways.

I just don't understand how little some people care. I mean I understand everything that comes my way, or at least try to make an effort to if it's confusing... But this, I don't get at all. Not one bit, to the point where it just pisses me off lol.

I'm not trying to say I'm sucking up to the big bosses and trying to get hired faster or make an impression. I'm just...working. I'm doing what I'm told to do and if I see there is something that can be improved or done to make my job easier and for others, I'll do it. It's just that simple but some people don't get it. It's just...work.

Are you paid salary and not hourly? Maybe he is. I know people that work on salary and go as slow as they want, because no matter what or how much they get done, they get paid the same.

"Stop stealing money from the company." If he was, he'd be gone. He's there for a reason, and you don't see it.

This is what I think. Don't care about him, don't think about him. He in no way impacts your life, and if he does, you need to think about your priorities. You need to keep doing what you're doing, let him do his thing, if you really do work as hard as you say, and it is being noticed by other employees and a position opens up, they'll go to you. I worked hard at my last job (Staples) and the old GM used to tell me all the time about how other employees commented on how I worked with employees and how I could sale items.

If you do a good job, management will know your name, if you don't, they won't know who you are.

welcome to life...
This. You are experiencing what we like to call: "life". Instead of being pissed off, you should be glad that YOUR work performance is not relying on him. This will make you look better when it comes time to decide who gets a job, and who does not.

That being said......I found it funny that the ad at the bottom of this thread, a work related venting thread, was for brownells.com, a firearms supply site :lol:

We're both hourly. Contractors don't get paid salary as far as I know.

I try not to think about him, and he definitely doesn't impact the work I do, but I just can't help it. I mean, you get hired to work. Work is work. This is something that I've been battling for years now. The past 2 jobs I was at, dozens of employees came and went like nothing. I just can't help thinking about it and how much is pisses me off that no one gives two shits about their job.

It just makes me glad that at the very least, I'll get recognized before he does lol.

Yeah like I just said, that's what I'll be glad about if a position opens up and they consider me before him.

And LOL :rolf:.

I take 15-20 minute shits everyday just to pass some time. Angry Birds and Bloons Tower Defense are GREAT pooping apps.

That's another thing... To do something to "make time pass". Uhhh...when I run out of things to do, I ask my supervisors or other planners if there's anything else for me to do because I'm bored as s**t. For me, working makes time go faster than anything else.

I also make it a point to take a s**t at work. Not that I dont work hard, I do. But everyone needs time to just sit down and relax for a couple minutes. Especially at my work, this is an easy exit.......because sitting down in the break room quickly is apparently slacking :roll:

Anyway, John I do believe that your original post could easily go into the "what annoys you" thread.

I see where you are frustrated but you are trying to hold other employees to how you work. So in essence you are frustrating yourself. Best thing to do is worry about your work or you will be disgruntled quick.

Just ignore him. Comparing yourself to him is only going to drag you down.
