fuck this job.com

Last time I asked you why...today, I ask you why the fuck not.

When exactly did I become a door mat? I try to think back to see if there was a pivotal moment in my career that caused me to bend over and invite everyone and their idiot brother to pound me in brown eye.

There must have been, I used to be a no nonsense, brutally honest asshole, I used to be described as uneccessarily angry and negative...well I'll tell ya, now I have a god damn reason.

Monday's are supposed to be horrible days, and for the most part they do suck ass; but today, Tuesday, has been the kind of day that hip checks you to the ground and kicks you in the teeth until all the chicklets have been swallowed, and it's only 8:30am.

Why do I put up with it? Is it because I can't find anythng else? I don't fucking know.

As if it's not bad enough that my boss and everyone else at the company constantly make me the butt of their jokes...without reason I might add. I'm good at my job, I'm easy to get along with, I don't look or act weird (as far as I know)...but they still do it anyway.

I'm also being paid worse than shit...being paid shit would be a step up for me. My salaray is approximately $45,000 below other people in similar positions. (I'm regional manager for a large electrical contractor, responsible for everything from project management, material, shipping/receiving, scheduling, personnel, operations, AR/AP...I fucking do everything, completely alone!)

Ok...here goes the long story.

I'm currently what could only be described as the dumbest person in the working world.

I got hired as a sales person six months ago; to sell security alarms, security cameras and electrical contract services, for which I have very little experience.

My starting salary was acceptable with the fairly high commission rate that they promised, and even though I was somewhat intimidated with the prospect of selling products and services that I wasn't familiar...I thought of it as a step up.

Since then, I've been promoted to Sales manager...though my pay cheque is the same. I have two sales reps under me, one with a lot more experience than me.
