Corporate Stupidity

My manager called and told me I had to report for Armored orientation on Tuesday. Orientation? I've been working since March and NOW I have to attend New Employee Orientation? What for??? The box wasn't checked in my file signifying I had attended so I went. 70 miles one way to the corporate office and be there by 8:00 am.

I arrive to find it empty. I sit around and wait, and wait, and wait. Finally, at 9:30 we are called in. My name isn't even on the list to attend and I don't need to complete fingerprint cards, records check forms, insurance paperwork, or tax stuff. Why am I here? I sit through all the BS to find that I did NOT take the nickel tour of the company HQ and was required to. 140 miles of driving and 4 hours of sitting around so that I can tour the building I have been in countless times and couldn't care less. It's the HQ. I don't work there and only go there when I have to a couple times per year. Absolute bullshit.

The company coffee cup made it all worth while. HA!
