Thats not something that I do.
One thing that really gets me irritated are hypocrites. There are a lot of different kinds but lately the one theme or situation just keeps coming up.
The prime example has played out a number of times in the past. A nice family dinner is wrapping up and all of us children in the family are sitting around being smart asses and joking with each other. My brother says some extremely sarcastic remark that very lightly implies something to the extent of men being superior to women. Nobody really cares except for two of my three sisters who are present. They start tearing into him about how thats not funny and men and women are equal and he’s a horrible jerk for saying such a thing. Finally it all calms down and the kitchen cleaning starts to happen… and the garbage can needs to be emptied. Every single time those very same sisters will sit there with a straight face and spout off that “garbage is a boy’s job.” They don’t do garbage.
Bull. Shit.
How can you sit there with a straight face preaching equality between sexes and then write something off as a “boy’s job”? That’s the same as if I were to sit there and say cleaning dishes was a “girl’s job” (not that I believe in that), but you would get viciously up in arms about how wrong I am. Nice double standard there, girls. Think a little more before you go off spouting your bullshit. It just irritates me so much.
Tonight at work I asked the woman cleaning the bathrooms why she hadn’t changed the garbages yet so I could take them to the compactor. “I don’t do the garbages. That’s just not something I do.” Excuse me? That’s part of cleaning the bathrooms every night. That’s fine if you don’t like to do it, but its part of the job responsibilities and it has to get done.
There are even some employees that don’t ever get asked to clean the bathrooms simply because it’s known that they don’t bother to do it right so it’ll have to be done a second time. They know how to do it but it seems like they simply refuse to do it the way its supposed to get done. So rather than train them, or bring it up to management and see if that brings them to doing the job that they were hired to do, other employees have to do it every night instead.
Even more bullshit.
If everyone in the department is supposed to be part of a team then we shouldn’t be forced to carry the dead weight. Extra effort is required on our parts to fill in for their lack of it. Its not fair to people who actually do their job and probably get paid about the same wage. We’re all expected to do our part. Somebody needs to bring it up to management so hopefully we could get some new blood in to replace them.
Ok… I’m done. I apologize if it seems to be a bit disorganized and hard to follow.
