Yay. I blew up at work today.
I had a string of bad customers blaming for shit that wasn't my fault, the place is chronically understaffed. Went to ask someone for some help and that someone said something in a condescending tone and I totally went off, said "**** this crap" and stormed out. Came back 5 minutes later and apologized and finished my shift, but if I get fired tomorrow, I won't really care. This has never happened to me in 30 years in the workforce, but for a couple of dollars over minimum wage, I am not going to cry if there are repercussions.
These are the people who hold themselves up as our betters, but did you catch that? (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018800320)
in 30 years in the workforce ...but for a couple of dollars over minimum wage
30 years working and this paragon of human existence has gotten exactly a couple of dollars above minimum wage.
Awe-inspiring.

couple of dollars above minimum wage
At the DUmp that's called bragging.
It's the kind of person who always calls a thousand dollars a "grand".

I'm guessing his "blowing up at work" is not a new thing

Considering all it took for him to "blow up" was "a string of bad customers blaming for shit that wasn't my fault," I'm not surprised that a job paying just above minimum wage is all he can handle. It's definitely more than he's worth.

Isn't saying one has a job close to bragging in the DU context? Or is it a confession?
Some realities of retail and other direct customer service jobs:
* Most customers do not know whether a store is over- or under-staffed while they (the customers) are there; they just know what their experience is;
* Some customers are unsatisfiable, jerks, or assaholics; handling such idiots is part of working in customer service;
* Profit margins are usually quite tight, inclining managers to staff shifts tightly;
* Part of supervisors and managers' jobs is handing the dedicated obnoxoids and assaholics; knowing when to hand off such idiots to one's supervisor/manager is part of a server's or clerk's or ??'s job.
So if LV got canned the next day, (s)he earned it by not understanding their industry and job, and not letting their manager do theirs. I don't want an additional welfare recipient on the roles, so I hope (s)he wasn't canned. But if (s)he doesn't soon understand his/her job (s)he will get canned ((s)he seems already to have plateaued in it!).

This is something that has me wondering whether LV really is a vet. Even if (s)he only did a single enlistment, (s)he didn't learn how to work with "difficult" superiors and peers and work within a chain of command?

The only exception I know is Academy Sports, where they have groups of employees, swarms, all over the store, dozens of kids, laughing, flirting, shooting the breeze with one another.
But always a half dozen customers lined up at the one open checkout lane.
I can only assume that Academy Sports launders money for some other enterprise.

Well, DUmbass, maybe you should have done something with your life that doesn't require you to be behind the counter at Hardee's.

Let me guess this is another trait of the chronically super intelligent people with super high IQs?

he'll just hop on the gravy train driven by obama and become one of the 90+ million Americans out of work and on gubment assistance

Yeah, drug tests are usually required for the better paying jobs, usually knocks most DUmmies out of the running for those jobs.
-
A DUmmie with a job? Yeah, right. Tell me another one.

"A couple of dollars over minimum wage".
A perfect fit for the occupoopers.

6. It's terrible corporate culture to be set up for failure then blamed for it
We used to have a POS foremen that when giving updates/reports to upper management always said "we" did this and "we" are doing that etc when things were going well; willing to take credit for both the efforts of us on the floor and good luck ( easier to troubleshoot issues, parts in stock, enough manpower and other resources )....But would tacitly blame us on the floor for bad luck ( lack of resources, rare problems, bad weather etc ) even though we busted our buts to work through it. Then you'd hear "they" this and "they" that.
Bastards.

7. Keep your dignity intact.
It sucks having to depend on a system run by of moronic shitweasels for a paycheck. I absolutely hated it. My conclusion was that I should utilize my talents and eventually create value in my own work as to where I didn't have to rely on others to be the gatekeepers to my success. I said "**** This Crap" in 2002, and after 13 years, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I think it's a little late for that.

They want so badly to change the world.
But they don't want to lift a finger to change themselves first.

(D)Ummie needs to pay attention more when they say: "Hold the pickle."
One would think he'd be pretty adept at this after thirty years, .... or not. :shrug:

He was featured here first, just like the Walrus, and many other famous(made famous by CC) DUmp denizens.

30years on the job and just now has a blow up. Right, With a story like that one would think he was trying to out do that clown from California that claimed to be a member of SEALteam6 marine commando,space shuttle door gunner and world renown dealer in fine crap at a store that regrets hiring him.

When the liberal dufus said he blew up at work and blamed customers, what he meant was that he ate another Oblamadingalingadingdong shit sammich and Hilarity order of whopper lies, then spent the rest of the afternoon having lunch explode out of his ass. Yeah, he probably will get fired for polluting the workplace worse than any average Common Core teacher droid does the minds of impressionable youngsters, but hey, at least he'll be able to go on Oblama's 100-year unemployment benefits plan, with a free ****ing cell phone thrown in for good measure.

Obamaphones with free internet, and the obligatory free internet porn.
It's all a basic human right.

Hmm, if you wanna include free internet porn, make sure you include free gloves for the unlucky doctor, and free medical screenings for any poor mannequins (is that a sexist term? :???:) found on exploding DUmmy premises. Also, free bags for said mannequins to use on said DUmmy heads.
And rainbow colored Skittles shitting ponies for all!
