Lies, lies and more lies

Don't want to get too detailed for fear of the bosses finding this.

So, I came to this company after one of the recent Hurricanes. Obviously, I didn't really want to be here. I wanted to be back home at my old pre-hurricane job make my little bit of money and living a relatively peaceful, happy life.

Ok, so I am here now and trying to make this job work, but I am surrounded by liars, cheats and jerks. I work so hard every day to try to make these people happy and I just can't seem to achieve that.

Here are some examples of the ethically shady/ lying behaviour:

-The lady on the other side of my cube wall says hateful things about EVERY person who works in the company. Someone will walk into her cube. Then, she and that visitor will say horrible things about someone and then after the visitor leaves, the lady on the other side of the wall will call someone to say hateful things about the person who just left her cube. This lady also walks around and chit chats with people all day long to avoid work and then tells the boss that she "didn't have time to finish that report." She does this ALL DAY EVERY DAY. And the boss is fucking clueless about it. In fact, the boss gave the gossip a PROMOTION!

-This same lady (not the boss) is accepting expensive gifts, going to fancy lunches, etc. at the most expensive places in the area. This behaviour is directly in opposition to company policy.

-My boss lied to me about what my job would be. The boss is now taking away the tasks I actually like to do, the tasks that the boss promised I would get to do when the boss hired me. AND, the boss is replacing the likable tasks with horrible administrative bullshit that I can't possibly finish. I regularly work 50+ hours each week and can't finish all the report and administrative bullshit.

. I think my boss is hiding something, because the boss doesn't want the IT people to have access to the boss's data, but I'm not sure why. My boss doesn't want the higher-ups doing "duplicate work" but somehow it makes sense to the boss that it's ok that I do the duplicate work manually, even though we have fucking software that can do it for us. The boss insists that I do it all manually. It's just horrible. I can't seem to get it right and I just want to quit. The boss keeps saying that it needs to be "accurate" but I think the boss is just really stalling and trying to hide something.

-This other guy comes in late and leaves early almost evey day and treats me like his personal secretary and blames me for all the mistakes on his work. It doesn't seem to matter to him that he gives me half-done files that lack this information and that information. I constantly have to do his work for him, according to the boss's order. I am fine with being the support person, but I didn't sign up to be his bitch. AND he is scheming about something. I caught him and the gossip whispering about something and "how they were going to tell on her..." whomever THAT is. They certainly don't have room to talk, since they hardly do any work, cut out early and do a lot of ethically shady things.

-The higher ups whom I support all spend hours chit chatting and leave right at 5 every day. One time, they had a departmental dinner and they all left early. The boss came to asked me if I needed help to be able to make it to the mandatory dinner. Probably, the boss came out because their boss was going to be at this mandatory dinner and it would make MY boss look shitty if I didn't show because I was the only one at the office trying to make the impossible deadlines set for me. The boss asks me this at say 5:45 when I am so far along and so involved with all of my tasks that they will get hopelessly fucked up if I pass them off to the boss. AND then I would get blame, yelled at, and pecked to death by the 8000 other people my reports support in this beaureaucratic hell hole. In the end, only the other peon stayed. I swear the other peon is the only decent human being in this god forsaken hell of a corporation. GOD I HATE THIS PLACE.

-Everyone is constantly gossipping about each other, fighting and saying horrible things. They all had a mandatory departmental dinner together where they all laughed and acted like everything was alright between them. But, I just saw them for what they were-back stabbing, lying, hateful people.

-There has recently been a company reorganization, which means that everyone is pissed, paranoid and thinks I am trying to impinge on their turf and/or steal their jobs. I am a black and white rules kind of person and yet I am a peon, so I can't really control how anyone but me does things around here. I get regularly bitched at, criticized, frowned at, complained about, gossipped about, laughed about (no seriously, this has all happened to me this week) regularly. And the boss is the worst about breaking the rules and policies established by him/her (again, not too much detail) established in the first place. It's to the point where I just wonder if I am losing my mind. Everyone else can't be this crazy or unethical, can they?

-There are only 2 people I like there, but the hateful gossip on the other side of my cube wall is starting to get her claws into them and I am afraid to chat with them anymore. So, I just stick to safe topics, like weather and food. But, it is so depressing to not have any friends at work, especially because my job in the-hurricane-destroyed-place had my best friend and I working together and it was like heaven. I get misty and cry to myself sometimes at work when I think of the good times I had, especially when these tw*t bitches are yelling at me for phrasing a simple question wrong. I am not making it up. One of these bitches yelled at me for 5 full on minutes for saying my question to her the wrong way ("I was talking in circles" the bitch said). I just want to crawl under a rock and die when I compare the good people in the hurricane place to the evil ones here.

I am so isolated and lonely here in cube farm hell. I'm counting the days until I quit. I'll tough it out a year and then I'm gone. I"m just trying to beef up the resume in the hopes that I can get something better at the next go round.
