Once again, got shit on by another job that looks over my hard work.
I worked for a company that made energy efficient lighting in the returns department....
i was back in the returns depart for a whole year. I'm the ONLY one in the company that knows what goes on back there. I pretty much turned that department around and made it what it is today.
blah blah the economy is bad, and the owner of the company wanted to make some changes in the warehouse and move people around to diff. departments. well instead of keeping me in returns, the supervisor Carol, decided to take me out of returns and put me in picking. She said it was because i have experience in picking and thinks i will do great in the department. The lady Sharon i worked with in returns, has only been back there since Aug. She still asked me how to do this how to do that....
Sharon is a great worker she always keeps busy, but she is very inaccurate, she makes mistakes almost everyday. she doesn't check for broken pieces, she doesn't check part numbers yada yada. But they decided to keep Sharon back there. ALL the ideas i had, all the suggestions i had for that department and have been waiting months for them to bring those ideas into play. They finally make those ideas real, and they take it all away from me.
this picking process isn't that difficult. you get a piece of paper that tells you where in the warehouse to go and what product to get, you have a scan gun, scan the bar code on the paper, scan the product, scan the location and go on to the next one... a monkey could do it.
Sharon knows the warehouse, she's done put aways (putting product back to stock). she could do that job just as well as me. and for me weighing 72lbs walking through the warehouse for 8 hours pulling 100s of lbs on a skid is not easy for me. And you know, sharon doesnt' understand why they took me out of the department either, she was sympathetic. But knowing her, she would never stand up for me, and tell them "take me out of returns, i'll do picking." She's in a way selfish about that.
i did putaway with heavy skids, but it was only a few times a day. And me having "experience" with picking is crap because when i worked in shipping i did Smartpost which was little orders for 1 - 10 pieces. The only time i picked huge orders was when they did OT on saturdays, for a few hours. It wasn't my primary job.
So i went into Carol's office and told her that it was unfair that i was taken out of returns after i spent so much time and put so much effort into that department. and she's giving it away to someone who doesn't know half of what i know. I told her it's hard for me to pull heavy skids all day. She told me her decision was final, that if the skids are too heavy to just do a little bit at a time. But we're being timed on how much we do an hour. If i just do a little at a time it'll make my timing look bad. She also said i could go into Assembly if i didn't want to pick.
when carol first started i told her i wanted to get out of shipping because i wanted a more challenging job and i want to grow with the company and learn more. And she took all that away from me. She took the job that i loved to do and gave it to someone else. Mind you Sharon was supposed to get fired 6 months ago. But instead Carol brought her back with me. They think that because Sharon used to work in the offices doing RMAs, which is the authorization for customers to return product, that she'd be good in the returns dept. But she did that 5 years ago, #1 what she did then has changed 100% to what they do now. #2 What the RMA person does has NOTHING to do with what we do in the returns dept.
So carol looked right over me, right over my compassion for the company and how much i cared about it and put me right back where i started. I'm not going to come to work everyday with a stomach ache doing work that they bring temps in to do. So after i got out of her office i went to HR to turn in my work ID badge, and they had Christine (one of the HR mngers) come talk to me about what's happening. i told them everything i told Carol. They did nothing to defend me. They told me decisions where final, and they feel the decision was for the best interest. I told them, with the experience and the knowledge i know about the company i'm not going backwards, and i told them i quit. I said goodbye to the people that meant alot to me, and i left.
I'm wasn't trying to be a whieny bitch about everything. But what Carol did really shot my confidence and self esteem down. It made me feel like i was a less important person to the company, that all the hard work i did meant nothing to them. I went to TONS of meetings with people in the company, i mapped out a returns process, i turned that department around 100%. and i felt all of that meant nothing to them. I wasn't going to give them my hard work anymore if i wasn't going to get any praise for it.
i was just really fed up with they way the treated people there. it was totally different when i started 2 years ago. There were so many times that i asked for help in that department. that i needed male help with the heavy boxes and someone who will be a good worker and accureate. and they sent me a 58yr old woman who makes mistakes everyday.
So fuck them, and i hope that the returns department completely falls apart.

wassup?
i got on first shift. nov. 19th. i love it. i come home at 3:30, and have the rest of the day to do things. The first few weeks of first shift sucked though. I thought i was going to be put in returns, but wasn't. Then they said i would test light bulbs. Well, i did test the light bulbs the first week, then thanksgiving vacation... when i came back they put me in assembly. Which i am in the assembly department, but theres different jobs... Anyways, i was in the special packaging area. Which consisted of me opening boxes of light bulbs and relabling them. That really sucked. Then i was put in the high bay department making socket bars. They're things that hold in the light bulbs for the celing fixtures. Then they stuck me back in lightbulbs, then i was testing LEDs. So i kind of felt like a go-for. Do whatever they need done. The last couple of weeks i had been testing lightbulbs for the marriott hotels. They made a buzzing noise and i had to find the ones that dont buzz...blah blah. Last week my supervisor put me in returns finally. Which was what i was supposed to go in from the begining. i like it. pretty much just file the products that get returned, then put it in the computer. then put it back in stock. sounds easy, but it's alot of paper and computer work. Which i'm glad for. I'm hoping this gets me in the offices sometime..
yeah thats it. i dont really care to right in this much anymore. i took half a day off today. Robert got the flu from his mom. Now i have the flu from Robert. mmmmmmm taking PTO time already.

ohhhh what to do!!!
this sucks. =/
my friend Allan showed me this band, Eisley. AMAZING. you should defintly check them out
www.eisley.com www.myspace.com/eisley
andddd my friend Steve sent me the new Saves The Day CD. so far its pretty good. Better then In Revere.
work today sucked. One of our cashiers got fired cuz she called off. So i had to do some cash register, while Alex did animal department. Most of the night i had to dust the shelves. that involves removing the products fromt he shelf, dusting, washing, and putting the products back. Then i pretty much fronted the store 3 times. This little kid started playing with things on the shelf and knocking them all on the floor. i was tempted to throw that little rugrat down the aisle. Other then that it wasn't too bad, time went by fast.
thats all.
goodbye.

i need a cheaper car.
i can't handle this $400+ a month bullshit.
not with the money i'm making now.
buuutt on a good note i guess. i might be getting a job where my mom works.
they make those spring light bulbs. i'll either be working in the warehouse or doing assembly. which yeah, its going to suck alot. Not to mention that i'll be working 2nd shift from 3pm - 11pm. gross. But, its like $8.50/hr, it'll be well worth it. I think i'm only going to work there for a little while, untill i get massive amounts of money in the bank.
THEN i'm going see about getting a job with the Postal Service. I have to pay a $99.50 fee for a packet thing to study for a Civil Rights test or something. If I pass they place me at some post office. They start off at $18/hr. That would be amazing. I'll be getting my own place =D
today was disgustingly hot outside.
okay. i'm done. goodbye.
