My Boss is Unethical

My boss cheats the company – stupid stuff, “borrowing” 100$ from petty cash, lying about his expense account, manipulating time cards, etc. He lies on reports to make our division look better than we are. I am very uncomfortable working for him, but I need my job, and (used to) love my work. I am afraid to tell his boss because it’s a small corporation and he will know that I am the one who told, since I am the only one who knows. I wish he would get caught and get fired.

Vegas Stripper

I have been a stripper for over 10 years now. I started when I was in graduate school. After graduate school I realized I was not going to find a job that paid me as much as I made dancing, nor find a job that I enjoyed as much as dancing. So I figured I might as well capitalize on being a stripper while I still had the body and looks. Within three months I saved up enough money to put down on a house. That was the best investment I ever made. I also helped out my father with his finances, paid off as much as I could on student loans, and traveled a bit. When I finally did decide to “settle down” and get my career started, I chose to enter the teaching profession. However, even once I began teaching, I still continued to dance….the money was so ridiculously unbelievable. I didn’t want to, nor saw the need to stop. I started going out to Las Vegas to dance though….more money, clubs were open 24/7, you could work when you wanted, and less chance of running into someone I knew. I often times used some of the money I made in Vegas to buy supplies for my classroom. I taught for five years and danced on and off during that time as well. I decided to go back to school full time to earn another degree, this time in nursing. I of course started going out to Vegas a lot more to finance nursing school and to pay for my mortgage and other fixed financial obligations I had. I am a RN now and am trying to ween myself from the dancing, but I will confess, it is so hard to do, not just because of the money, but because I honestly do enjoy to job, especially after being cooped up in the hospital all night. Anyways, as I’m sure your wondering “How old are you now?” Well I’m in my 30’s but I look really young and do take care of myself, so I still do well when it comes to my secret life as a Vegas stripper.

Confessions of a luxory hotel representative…

Please note- It is not wise to be cruel to the hotel agent who checks you in.

I have worked at different hotels over the last 5 years while trying to make it through school and after dealing with some of the most tasteless attitudes from all sorts of clientele I would never choose to make it a career in hospitality. I merely buck up to the insults and deal with it but I have a warning message to those who are the travelers of the world.

Be nice to your hotel agent at check-in… most agents will not kiss your ass once you have displayed how much of a bitch or an asshole you can be… so if your wondering why you didn’t get the comp upgrade you so desired, check your attitude at reception and see if that will answer your question. I is either that or the agent is really sold out of the suites, but you will definately win more with a better attitude.

Personally I have delt with the most witty assholes and condescending bitches… these people constantly insult my intelligence on a daily basis and I just have to put up with it to keep my job. But seriously it is not acceptable people.

For example-Dont be a dick about what room you get at first if you can good with make small talk and nice conversation with out comming off like a perv… I can guarantee most clerks will be more than happy to comp your upgrade without mention. This is how you win without paying out the arm and the leg for it.

If you are more of the whiney complainer type we clerks are less likely to help you no matter how much of the company policy is telling us to kiss your ass… We do have access to what room you get and your room rate… to which no one can prove we did it on purpose; and beware if you are a return customer- so dont expect to get away with murder.

This is not that serious I am not a vengeful person. I just simply wont bend over backwards for ungratefule guests who are never satisfied and feel it necessary to be a constant bitch or asshole during their stay at any hotel I work at.

So do yourself a FAVOR all yea guests and hotel travelers…. treat the front desk staff well and it will definately be worth your while.

of course this is anonymous lol

I should have gotten the job!

I’m trying to deal with my feelings of disappointment, anger, frustration, and hurt. I just found out my co-worker got a senior position I also applied for. I really do like my co-worker and I am happy for her, but I am much more qualified and experienced than she is, so don’t understand why she got the job over me. It’s going to be very difficult to go into work next week.

Going Red

I keep going red at work and feel uncomfortable in my new job and its really affecting me. I am highly qualified experienced etc. but find it difficult trying to deal with lots of confrontation in an open plan office where there are so many “know it alls”. I try to keep positive but find myself dreading going in and feel unappreciated and its affecting my self esteem as don’t feel performing as well as I should.

if u only knew

i think that ur so sexy! i know that ur not bisexual/lesbian & r strictly into men. Everytime i speak to u, i act like nothing, but inside i am ready to explode. u will never know how i feel for u because i respect u & our work 2much to make u feel uncomfortable. But i know that if i were ever 2 go out, u would have the most fabulous time!

POTTY MOUTH

also MS.RUDE we are all sick & tired of hearing you tell us about what you and your girlfriend do if you are lesbian who cares just tone it down we don’t want to hear abot your sex life anymore i know you will read this I say this to help you you look like a FOOL and don’t even know it

Frstrated with the call

I know that I am called to be a pastor. But I hate feeling snubbed by my peers because I have decided to work part time and only be licensed and not ordained so that I can spend time with my family. I went to seminary too, and I even learned original languages which many of you never did. So does that make me any less than you? I am frustrated with the system that has to put me into the licensed category and not ordain me because I don’t fit the mold. I hate that so much of what I learned in seminary was a waste and what I learned when I was pursuing an MBA has actually been more helpful. I hate that change in the church is always resisted instead of evaluated. I hate that I always feel tired because I have a hard time with balancing everything. I hate that some days I don’t even have time for personal devotion. I have a lot to pray about and much to change that’s in my control.

Stressed

I havent been able to get a job that i would be proud of and currently am without any, it hurts because am a law graduate and everytime i apply nothing comesthrough. i have thought of ending my life because not having a source of income this long has affected my confidence and personality, i lie to people by talking alot but really i want to end my life real soon.

Homless

So I work at a homeless shelter. The burnout rate for social workers is extremely high, and I now understand why.

I genuinely care about a lot of the people I work with. Many of them are good people who have fallen on hard times. Some of them work a hell of alot harder than I do, but things just cant seem to go right.

Others are system abusers, con men and women, and generally nasty people.

Some have some interesting mental disorders that make them the most annoying people in the world (through no fault of their own, of course).

I feel myself getting jaded. My smile is now fake when I tell the forgetful woman what time curfew is..every single night. I am having trouble listening to that guy who just wont stop talking in circles, and going off on tangents, you know, the crazy one who talks for thirty minutes to an hour, but never finishes a thought.

Worst of all, I feel myself not caring as much as I used to. I feel resentment. I catch myself blaming people for the crappy hand they have been dealt, which is something, as a sociologist, I promised I would never do.

My job can be very rewarding, the feeling of helping someone get back on their feet and independent again is wonderful. I see people on the street who came to me without hope, and leave with confidence and stability.

I just dont know how long I can keep going before that doesnt affect me either.
