For the past year I have been working for my buddy Howard doing on-site computer support for his clients. It was the best possible job ever! I made $25 per hour, I got to make my own schedule, I was doing exactly what I wanted to do, and I was working with a man of God. It was quite a change from the bureaucratic, stab you in the back, real world crap that I was used to. I didn't think that i could ever work for someone that I could respect, and want to do my best for until i worked for him. Over time, things had slowed down for us, and I had been making practically nothing. I would be lucky to get a few hours a week. I spent a lot of time waiting for it to get better, but it never did. Now that i have a amazing girl friend, who I intend to marry, I decided that It would be really important to stop waiting to my perfect job to make me more money and get a real job. So for months and months I have been sending out my resume to countless places. The only job offers I got were from recruiters that were based in New York! Freakin creeps.
So one day I'm at the NAME office talking to Gwen, and she prayed for me about getting a job. No more than a few hours later, I got a call from DataDoctors asking me if I was still interested in the position! I had sent in my resume to them two months ago! I was so freakin excited! Its amazing what a prayer does!
So yesterday was my first day,........ I'm not excited anymore =(
First off, I'm getting ripped off on my pay. I work 48 hours every week, but the owner put me on salary so he doesn't have to pay me overtime! That wouldn't be so bad if I got benefits, but I don't. No medical, no paid time off, no nothing! Isn't that stuff pretty standard if your salary? Well, that alone is not so bad. I do make 3 or 4 times there as I do now, so I'll take it!
Second, my boss (Jeff) is a total douche! He is the owner of the company. On Monday I and another new guy were training with him for about 4 hours. But we really only did 2 hours of actual training. The other two hours we spend sitting on out rear ends because Jeff was too busy smoking, or doing business with his other companies. I thought it was so rude and unprofessional of him to make us sit around while he took orders for his bakery. In addition he had a bit of a potty mouth and was cussing a lot. Also, if I had any questions about what we were going over, he would never let me ask them. At the end of the day I was kinda frustrated, but overall looking forward to learning more.
Today however was the worst. I spent 9 hours with this bag of crap! I am appalled by this guy's behavior. Much like yesterday, he was cussing like crazy! F-this and F-that and a lot of other very inappropriate and offensive language. I am not joking when I say this, but literally at least two words out of every sentence that came out of his mouth was a F word. Then a few more words in that sentence would be some other colorful words. In addition to his foul mouth, he treated me and his customers like crap. He actually treated his customers just a little better. Every time I did, or said something he didn't like, he would snap at me. He even yelled at me twice. Like if I asked a question that he already answered, he would get mad at me. Well I wouldn't be asking you again if you explained it to me properly in the first place you queer! That's his other problem, he talks to me like I already know everything. When he shows me something, he uses company specific terms that he never described to me, so I have no idea what he is talking about. And if i try to ask him a question, he will NEVER answer me. He always says that he will cover that later! Are you freakin kidding me? Why cant you tell me now? All I'm doing is sitting on my butt playing solitaire on my phone and you cant answer my question? I spent 7 out of the 9 hours I was there either playing solitaire or just staring out the window into the world I wished I was in, all while listening to this idiot cuss like a gang banger, talk crap about everyone he knows, and doing things for his OTHER business! Oh and I don't want to forget the fact that I had to stay as far away from him as possible because he stunk sooooo bad! He smokes so much that he smells like grandma's ash tray that she has been using for 100 years! In addition to that his breath is 100% hideous as a result! His teeth look like the color of baby diarrhea, unless they are covered in food that he doesnt clean out, and when ever he talks, he spits. When ever he laughs, he laughs through his nose, and he shoots snot everywhere. And best of all, he was farting on me all day long! What a guy!!
He is also very greedy! He owns at least 4 businesses and probably makes 200K a year! But he still will never do any favors for anyone, and he way over charges people. Today he got a laptop from this guy that was not connecting to the wireless network. Well it was a simple winsock reset that took 5 seconds, but Jeff charged him $150 bucks for it, and convinced him to do stuff he didn't need.
I am just really upset at how unprofessional, irresponsible, rude, and idiotic this guys is. I'm loosing brain cells! I don't know if I can handle this guy for another day. I don't know if I want to keep this job. Its not really what i want to do. I'm basically just a sales man. All I do is make my boss more money! FUN!
