Good post squeeb.
I work with So many Gen Xers that are so freaking
clueless about the way companies work & how to handle bosses and projects. It ties directly into your post. There are so many unaware people who get jobs and expect it to be an easy game. Nope, not happening. Period. You must be accountable. Customers want more service, and yep-you DO have to remain "chargable" for your time out in the field. And those noobs wonder why they aren't getting huge raises. Well, they forgot to call "so and so" about his new router. Or yep, they left early on Thursday and didn't fix X Ladies copier even though they were scheduled to be there at 4:00. She's pissed and the owner has to go there and make nice. Or call you at home at 7:00am to go there and do it right.
It's almost a comedy of errors.
And it seems that most people in America really only care that they get
IT ALL NOW. It's like a bad dream gone wrong.... we want it all now.
And of course, we can just say: "Charge it". Mind fuck there, right? WHo needs to wait? As long as we have more "stuff" than the next guy, we win.
Who cares if the intrest is 18 percent and that's added another 2K onto the 4K the idiot owes.
Okay done with my rant, too. Ahhhh, that's better.
Wish I still smoked!!!
