fuck this job.com

I used to be a "LAB TECHNICIAN", yet the most high-tech things I worked with were a pH meter and an electronic balance. The rest of the time I was ruining my health for shit wages and was nothing more than a goddamned paint janitor. As for the "quality control" part of my job, I set the paint up at the right specs only to have it sit behind the lines for like 4 hours and separate because the production people liked to get shit done early and sit on their asses for HOURS at a time, yet I took shit because I was a non-smoker and was expected to work 58 seconds out of every minute. Title really is worthless unless you're a goddamned lawyer, politician, doctor, or CEO. Fuck this country...

...Barely.

My title gained "Manager" and it seemed like a great advance for my career. Except, it wasn't accompanied by a monetary raise. "It's ok," my mom tells me, "sometimes, you just get the title increase, and that is equal to a raise in salary as far as respect, responsibilities, and ownership go." WRONG! Wrong, wrong, wrong, and oh--wrong as hell!

Like wageslaveZ says, "Title really is worthless unless you're a goddamned lawyer, politician, doctor, or CEO." I don't know if I would say 'Fuck this country' as much as I would say, 'Fuck the abusers of wealth and power.'

As a 'Manager,' I haven't noticed any different treatment than when I wasn't a manager. Well, I haven't noticed any improved treatment, I should say. I am well aware of my worth, and how valuable a person of my background and experience would be in almost any role. I'm a humble person and confident in what I do, not a bullshitter trying to fake my way to a good salary, so what the fuck? Why didn't I get a raise? Why can't I find another job that values me? I bet if I changed my name from female to male, I'd get a better response--or if I had Trump as a goddamn reference or something.

MAN! I am just so tired of this lousy fucking company and heavy responsibilities with no incentive.

Mom's are no help at all. I know, believe me, I talk to mine :) . especially if they haven't been in the workforce in the last 2-3 years. 10-15yrs, they are coming from another planet with their advice. 20+ years like my mom, she remembers/invents stuff based on morals and be kind to your neighbor stuff , that NEVER HAS happened or will happen in business.
