Managers

Ok I have to say this, I was talking to my mom a few weeks ago. I was frustrated and expressed that I don’t felt that you make your breaks by working hard and that it really is just a matter of being born under the star or in the right place. I have worked longer and harder than most of the people I grew up with and an have not gotten as far as they have.
Well it was proven right, later that week I go to work and one of the other kids get promoted to manager. Now I am a driver, and here I am not required to learn or really do anything else, but I have learned the rest of the jobs and there isn’t anything I can’t do here. The kid that got moved up, really still after about a year had to still be ridden to get his jobs done, and now he struts around and will tell anyone that will listen that he is in charge.
Now he doesn’t ask me a lot of his job, but when there is a problem he expects others to solve them and then it doesn’t get solved.
Yup, show incentive and hoard working and someone else will get promoted beyond you.
This has happened to me several times. I guess there is something wrong with me. I guess I shouldn’t spend so much time learning and doing my job and start kissing more ass.
I just can’t stand the taste.
And nope you can’t come to my pity party.
