The people at my new job are unbearably stupid. I'm sure they're social and interesting people, but they have no idea about the job they're going.
I have heard the dumbest suggestions made in a 3 hour staff meeting I had to endure on Friday. (!!!) I LITERALLY bit my cheek to stop from saying something. I couldn't stop myself from laughing when I heard the suggestion that a member calendar be made (notice this advise comes on the 28th of Decenber!!!!!) and distributed to the association's 10,000 members, and the person responsible for the calendar, who is a certifiable moron/tool, said the soonest she'd have it done would be the last week of January. *DUH* I pointed out to her if she was even including Jan '08 as a month on the calendar, maybe she should make it an extra effort (if any), to get it out in, oh say, JANUARY. She is a lazy idiot. Unbelievable.
I've been hired as a Senior Manager to whip these people into shape. No one seems to have common sense. People have been hired from McDonald's, Starbucks, and right out of college to do important jobs. They have no clue, which make it hard as a manager, to slap them upside their heads and say "You are in the WRONG job."
If I had my druthers, I'd place them in jobs as bartenders and in Target as store help. I'd rehire my own team!!! Save me from the idiots!!!
I have never been to a staff meeting where so many people said "no" and "I don't understand" so many times When I worked for the fast-paced life in the government, people have gotten kicked out of staff meetings for saying the same stupid things. So bit my cheek and prayed for the end of the meeting. It's $1840 for attendees to attend their annual meetings, and they want to give no welcome packets of paper presentations. People there just don't want to do work. Lay ass people!!!!!!!
And getting yelled at, OMG! The VP yelled at dumb people in public over contracts that looked like a monkey put together!! I'm keeping my head down, big time. It's quite obvious whey they hired me. Ugh, this job is going to be a bear if I can't rely on people to DO THEIR JOBS!!
GOOD news: They're sending me to New Orleans, San Fransisco and Colorado Springs this year!! Par-tey!! How f*ing cool is that!! I'm psyched about that, if not for the people I work with... Nelly skiing in May! How cool!!!!!
*deep breath* As long as I hang out with my boss, it's OK. At least she knows her job. She took me to Happy Hour (IBS nightmare) in Friday. At least she likes me.
There are 2 cool people. Gonna stick with my boss and them for now.
