Speaking of work schedules, I don’t think it’d be all that busy if I was working with competent co-workers. This is more of a rant than anything because I do like my co-workers but the constant stupidity and complaining is starting to irritate the shit out of me. I get that you’ve been here for a long time, in fact, it’s quite annoying how you say you’ve been here for as long as I’ve been born. I know you’re old, you work pace shows it, I don’t need the reference. Maybe it’s me, but if you would just stop complaining and pay a little more attention then we wouldn’t be as busy and stressed.
I work in the insurance world, employee benefits (health, dental, etc.) to narrow it down a bit. It’s not rocket science, in fact, all you have to be is detail oriented, organized and able to read a bit and you’re pretty much set. The deadlines are usually the toughest thing to grasp and my co-workers are easily frazzled and have a complete meltdown when shit starts to hit the fan. Calm it down, breathe, relax!
I guess my biggest gripe is that I constantly have to show my co-worker the same thing over and over again. Well, maybe worse than that is that I am also constantly fixing the same mistakes over and over again. That to me is just stupidity. I know you’re old but you’re not mentally handicapped. I bet if I showed you how to order yarn over the internet you wouldn’t keep asking me over and over again how to do it. I just can’t deal with having to hold someone’s hand when they should be able to do it themselves. Maybe it’s me but if you’re in a position where you’re not completely competent anymore, perhaps it’s time to be removed, regardless of your seniority.
I see this in not only my employment but in a lot of companies. Seniority is king and it really shouldn’t be.
