*Work rant*
I absolutely hate shit rolling downhill. I swear it is one of the most unfair policies in life, because blame always comes from the opposite direction.
I understand and respect that people in charge have a job to do, but I really don't respect or appreciate being treated like stuff is my fault when it isn't directly my fault, especially when it's not my fault at all. More than anything, I hate being treated like a simpleton. I am not fucking stupid. If I make a mistake, I do not need an entire exerpt from the employee handbook read to me word for word out loud, in front of my coworkers, or if I made a mistake regarding my work, I do not need to be told verbatim what the proper procedure is. The way a couple of people at work talk to me is more than rude....it's insulting and it's......it's disgusting. That's the best word I can find to describe it. I am not a retard, and I am not a slacker or someone who is careless. I make mistakes like everyone else, I have troubles, I can get behind, I can get overwhelmed..........riding my ass, making me feel like an idiot (whether inadvertently or purposely), hovering (I already covered that in another thread, though, I think pretty well) and pressuring me and asking me "Is it done yet?" "How soon?" "Are you almost done?" "Is it done YET, this is REALLY critical!" or going into a panic or hysteric state and handpicking people to help me, when I really don't need help, so they end up just staring at me and a few of them think that I asked for help and I really didn't need it. That always feels good, when I get made fun of by a coworker when I never asked for their help, it was forced.
The hard place....seriously, make up your fucking minds. Is it quality, or quantity? It is possible to have both, but no one is willing to take the time that it's going to require to make quality better overall. Everyone high on the ladder is so obsessed with short cuts, poor-man fix-its, instant temporary results, and NOW NOW NOW NOW we need it NOW that they don't even realize the venom they spew later when mistakes are found are because of stupid tantrums they threw earlier about getting something out the door faster. It sickens me that people are pressured beyond comfort levels to speed up, do it now, get it done NOW, faster faster.......and when a mistake is inevitably made or found later, the same people who did the pressuring come right back to you with feedback and nastiness. That takes some real fucking gall. Seriously. You pressure people to the point of nervousness, then freak on them when they make a mistake? Either that or people further down the line who don't understand the pressure we are put under, and always come into the room screaming about mistakes, like we can just fix things by "being more careful". Yeah, I was just told that by the same person who pressured me to the point where I was sweating down the back of my neck to get this done NOW.
RAWWWWR I could just throw myself at a brick wall until it collapses. Not even then would anything change.
