We have all heard of the phrase "catch 22" and "double edged sword". But if you happen to live in a world of sunshine and lollipops, it basically means that no matter what you do, your still screwed! Or I guess a better way to explain this is being between a rock and a hard place. So whatever decision you decide to make, its going to be wrong.
Now, if there was any reason why I would ever quit my job, it would be because of this reason. I don't know, maybe its just me (which I know for a fact that it isn't) but sometimes I think that management in general have no idea what the crap they really want from their employees. They tell you that your main priority is to make sure that the floor is full and looking nice and appealing BUT if you do not have the backroom all cleaned up and the load broken down your going to be talked to. HOWEVER even if you go back there to do it you STILL get in trouble because there's no one one the floor...even if your by yourself.
Now I know that it is my duty to fill a certain area of the floor and break down the load in the morning. But if I'm only allowed 6 hours to do it in stead of 8....doesn't that mean I wouldn't be able to finish it? And its like....oh you only have 6 hours to do your job, however if you can, please cut some time in your day. Oh yeah....and you have to make sure all of it is completed.
Yeah...do you realize what you just said???? I'd like to say that I'm completely awesome at my job and I never make mistakes, but as cocky as I am. I know I'm not the best. I just don't have the speed and the strength like everyone else to be able to do it all in 6 hours or less. Not to mention even when they do it, it still looks like crap. Oh and there's that other thing where I don't have as much as experience in the department has everyone else. I think I'm allowed to get given some kind of slack.
I think what I really am getting at is that even though they say "just give it your best, because that all you can really do.." it's not true. Because your best, isn't enough. What they really want is THEIR best. Not yours. Yours doesn't matter. Even the standard that they lay out still isn't good enough because they want above and beyond. But you know what....I'm a little person god dammit! I can only do so much! Its not my fault that I'm short with no upper body strength!
And its not like I don't try. I work very hard. Its just sometimes its nice to be told your doing a good job. Instead of "You need to do better". Maybe a little humanity would be nice.....then MAYBE I'd want to step it up a but. Maybe....
