DEPARTMENTS

It's an interesting change of pace when your friend comes into your busy shoe department at 7:30pm to complain about her lazy job.

She works as a secretary at a car dealership. Her main job is to ask other employees or the boss to come to the desk for some reason (usually a phone call). However, her boss tends to sleep in a room upstairs, and turns off the speaker, so to reach him she must call his cell phone. Except to combat this he occasionally turns off his cell phone, too.

Her coworkers aren't much different. She estimates that only about 10% of the time do they actually come when she calls them. Not because they're too busy, but just because they can't be bothered. LINK

I once worked for a landscaping company, whose boss was a very high-tempered perfectionist.

One day I was watering the plants outside the store, and some water jumped, with wind assistance, onto nearby wagons, which were there for customer convience while shopping.

I thought to myself, no big deal: it's just water, they'll dry, they've gotten wet before

A while later I heard my boss's angry voice on the radio. I was never allowed to water the plants out front again.
