The Grocery Store.

1.
The night crew must sit on theri ass and watch over the store at night
FALSE
-The night crew can have up to 3000 peices to put away in a 40 000square foot store. This and 4 people to do it.

2.It must take 5 seconds for the staff to properly face the store and make it look pretty.
FALSE
-It can take a crew of 2 up to 5 hours to completely and properly face the store.

3.They must get paid pretty well. Why don't they do their job ?
FALSE AND FALSE
-We do our job well and my staff gets paid minimum wage. While I get 12.55 $ an hour. Now for that money... do you think these guys will want toput 100 % into their job ?

4. The Union must fight for your rigths. go complain to them.
FALSE
Our Union representative is the store Manager....... You can pretty much well guess our rights. Not to mention the Union does jack shit to help employee's out. They basicly take 40 $ of our money every month and give us nothing in return.

5. It must be great not having a manager around.
FALSE
-The manager treats you like dirt, when he see you, you can almost predict what will come out of his mouth. Insults about the job you did and the work you never did. Whether somebody has left a mop out, or someone lined a product into the shelf and it was 1 inch off the label, you will hear about it. Everything the grocery store owners gets mad about is your fault. Since the manager can't see you at night, all the unexplianed problems that are in the store must be your fault.

Just found out today that I'm getting promoted to Director of Accounting and Finance for my site. Means I'll be personally responsible for $12+ million worth of budgets, investments, etc. And I'll have two assistants under me. Werd. Finishing your degree kicks ass.

Anyway, thought of something you might not know about the accounting department. Some of this only office workers will understand:

1. The accounting department and/or supply clerk are office supply nazis in order to save on the company bottom line.

Nope. We just do it because it is funny as hell to see what people will do in order to get something they want. One of our "administrative assistants" came into our office a few months ago and wanted a certain type of pen so badly that she unbuttoned her blouse halfway, held the pen in her cleavage and said, "Can I order a dozen more of these?" She is, of course, the office slut. But hey, whatever. Bottom line, we're just fucking with you. It isn't our bonus is office supplies are over for the quarter.

2. It must've been a computer error.

The great thing about accounting software is that it is common knowledge within the industry that it fucks up and fucks up quite regularly. What is not common knowledge to anyone other than the people who use it every day is just how and when it fucks up. So next time one of your payments doesn't get applied to your account, or you get overbilled, and they say it must've been a software problem, call bullshit. It usually just means we misposted your payment.

3. If you can add, subtract, multiply and divide, you can be an accountant.

This one is just funny. If you can do all that, you can do bookkeeping, but that is a FAR cry from being an accountant. You can be an accountant if you can forecast for investments, master the tax code, memorize the general accounting practices, etc.

Pushing Carts at Target

1) God damn that job must be easy as hell, you must just sit on your ass and occasionally go and bring in a cart.
FALSE
Bringing in carts and sitting my ass is ATLEAST a 50/50 affair.

2) You must get laid, like, all the time because of you job
FALSE
I only get laid all the time because of my striking good looks and whitty personality.

3) Your job must suck in the winter! It would be sooooo cold!
FALSE
I come prepaired with long underwear and a dachshund with an upset stomach down each leg.

That is so true, I took a couple Accounting classes this last year. Very mind twisting shit.

I wanted to add this to mine:

- The mail has to be delivered, whether it be rain, hail, snow, ect. or if I put a snake in my mailbox/have a huge dog that eats people in blue.
False If we, the drivers/carriers feel that delivering mail to a certain address is dangerous, or may endanger ourselves we are not required to deliver it. This includes increment weather. Personal and Property saftey comes first.
--Side Note-- Mail carriers are , however on Federal business, and to stop/delay them with purposeful intent is illegal!
--PS-- Don't park your car in front of mail boxes!!!!!

True, i made 800$ in a month.

Union is better than self employed
False, at least in our case. my father is self-employed, but hes got so many connections and referrals, hes always in work. he sets his own hours, his own lunch break, and gets paid pretty well

Working construction is hard
Yes, it is, it is alot. It is fun sometimes, but some of the jobs suck, like removing wallpaper. dont work construction, get a good education instead. You dont want to spend your life doing hard labour.
Wtf 800 bucks a month. So you live off 9600 dollars a year at tops?
