I'm curious to know if any of you feel that you works soo darn hard than the others that works with you and sometimes you feel like you want to walk out because others are just standing around picking their noses and also knowing that they pay the same amount of money per hour as you do?...
 
Yeah i was there and here. I know how you feel about that. I been work so hard and others make it easy than I do. They get more money than I do. Like for example, they hired me as 10 per hour but they pay me 8 per hour! it sound not fair because they think i am only being deaf and not need those paycheck for my lifestyle but they are wrong because all deaf are same hearies does but needs are higher cost like HA or Health plm.... CI, too. hearies has small needs than us. *sigh* sorry i cant make it long for this post. :D
 
I know that feeling! When I have to do work on the computer, the others just babble on the company phone to their family. :squint:
 
Yeah, I just hate it soo much, it like Cheri and I have to do everything, picking up after the guys, and every time the guys end up agruing and cussing back and fourth at eachother, the hours just go by fast, so Cheri and I have to unload the truck by carry all the heavy stuff out, even tho it end up hurting our backs, we have to do all the cleaning, the dishes, while the guys stand around and smoke and even going around chatting with other workers that comes to the rib show too....We even pick up after them when they lay things around, they don't even take one min of their time by putting the dirty dishes in the back and let it soak, I spend about at least 3 hours doing all the dishes in the back of the tent, and I end up in tears because I'm so darn tired doing all the freaking work while the guys just have their time horsing around....

There are times I wanted to walk out, but then again I would have lose the money I need to earn to pay the bills, I feel helpless sometimes, I want to be able to work with people as a team, to help eachother out as a team...but I suppose it not going to happen any sooner I feel like I'm working with a couple of lazy bums.... :(

I'm sorry I just feel like I had to get something off my chest here....
 
Angel, honey, exactly how I feel - Im overwhelmed at work right now because I was off for one week, and when I came back I was like WHOA... my desk was PILED HIGH with paperwork. *sigh*... I'm still trying to catch up, and right now I feel like I'm on a slippery slope...I finish one thing, three things pop up.

No, they do not have a replacement for me whenever I'm off ... while it means OT money for me, it's pretty frustrating... and even more when people come up and tell me they missed me, they're glad I'm back, and put more paper on my desk.

I think only one or two people asked me if I had a nice time on my vacation, before they put more work on my desk, too.

It wouldnt be too bad if I wasn't going through training to take over a position that will be availabe later this fall...even if it means more money and another promotion, or that I'm the only one who does the time reports...I've asked that someone be hired to do that, and I'm still stuck with it.

Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but I do need help from time to time. Ya know?

Me too, I love working with my dad and working at the rib cook-offs but the only thing I don't like is the people I work with, they yell too much, they cuss too much, they agrue too much, and they don't work as a team either...
 
Yep ^Angel^, There was one time in Florida I cleaned the cutting table while ^Angel^ was doing dishes in the back, I worked hard cleaning the sloppy cutting table that the guys left a huge mess and then after it was all cleaned with bleach and soap/water, Steve my other co-worker cutting up ribs on the cutting table on purpose while It was already cleaned! I was so upset and he just left the mess and walked away. I had to clean it again for the second time. I felt like walking out so many times too because, they get paid the exactly the same and all they do is argue with others, talk and doing not a darn thing while ^Angel^ and I have to run around doing their errands. One time Steve was working in the middle taking my step-mother's orders while I was taking my sister's orders, Steve walked away from the middle and leaving me alone in the middle doing two orders at the same time and my step mother and my sister both were flying me orders and It was so diffcult to run around doing both orders at the same time, and It confused the heck out of me. I never leave the middle of doing orders if we have people standing waiting on their orders I always wait until it slows down and I always asked for permission to leave to go to the bathroom but Steve never does, He leaves anytime he wants and It leaves me more work to do.

When ^Angel^ does the dishes we take turn doing the cutting board for her while she washing dishes because we have so much dishes to wash and when the guys cut the meat on the cutting table they leave a huge mess and don't know how to clean up their messy area It ticks me off because the more it is messy the more harder it gets to clean it up. *sigh* I have so much to rant about but, I think I've had enough with those bums, There are times I want to so bad tell them off but there other times I want my dad to give us a big bonus for doing all this crap but He haven't lately. :(

Yep same here, Remember we got up to go in work early with Gary and Gary told us to unload the smoker we did all this our own and even load ribs in the smoker while he took off talking to females trying to find someone to get laid with later on that night. :squint:
 
Arghh i hate that.. i remmy that when i was chef.. other team supposed to be with me while we cooking anything ... 2 chefs always go outside and smoking and chatting all the time, let me out and i did WHOLE the orders like up to 100 meals by myself per hour ... i got pissed off and i blew up and faced to my boss and nagged at him.. I am sick of SMOKER workers cause they are just damn LAZY to work , they always care about their SMOKING and CHATTIN than their JOBS! and oopz my boss fired 2 of them.. and my boss found 2 non-smoker chefs.. made me HAPPY! thanks god!!!!!!

Angel, have you and Cheri been able to have a serious, calm sit-down discussion with your dad about the situation? Is he aware of your feelings and the facts? Probably the best time to discuss the problem is before you start another trip. The worst time to discuss it is during the trip.

I was going to say the same thing. :D Best of luck girls you derserved the break as much as that bum.
 
Yes, I second that, Reba.

I think you both should sit down to have a good talk with your Dad and step-mom and tell them how you both feel about your co-workers.

I understand that you both need money but you both have 2 choice if those condition solved with your Dad is not work.

Stick with that job like this

OR

Give up

I know it´s hard if those solvtion with your Dad is not working. I pray that your Dad will listen you and make the legal with his employees.

Yes we have so many times, My dad knows how hard we both worked and know how the two guys are with us girls and how they fight over stupid stuff, he usually tell us to ignore what others are doing and just do our jobs cause we know how to do it and to get it done, and another thing my dad also said we are the best when it comes to cleaning than anyone he knows of, so he knows that he needs us more than he needs them, but he is counting on us to do our jobs and to help him out no matter how hard it gets, We contiune to do so, but there are times we just couldn't take it anymore cause we end up getting really tired after we closed, I mean we all get tired from being on our feet 15 to 18 hours a day, but they don't work as hard as we do, and I don't think my dad know what its like to be in our shoes, so I'm not quite sure if a nice sit down discussion will help solve the problem we're facing....and I also know how hard it is to run a business and I know my dad have to deal with so many other things beside hearing us complain about others and etc. so I don't want to feel the need to add too much for what he already has to deal with....I don't hold anything against my dad for the things that are happening while we are doing a show cause personally I have never run a business myself so I don't know what its like to be in my dad's shoes either....And I do know that my dad can't please everyone but sometimes I don't feel that my dad really understands how we actually do feel about this whole thing but I do know that my dad sometimes doesn't see everything like he doesn't even know we have cried alot of times when hes not around....It just so hard and frustrating sometimes....It would feel worthwhile if he was to pay us little more...why? because it would show us how much he appreciates our work, the effort we do put in etc...
 
Correct ^Angel^ and also my dad needs those guys to do the heavy lifting and driving so really He has no other choice because we only have two guys really that could help him with whatever needs to be fixed, Like if the smoker breaks down, or Freddie who is older than the rest of us cannot do much of going up a ladder and put bolts in the signs like the guys can. So really my dad needs those guys for other things but they do not get something special like I did, like in the past I have gotten bonus and a computer which they never gotten themselves from my dad. So, Really I think he knows that we are very good workers, now since ^Angel^ is doing more cook-offs with us I am sure she would get a good bonus too like I did in the past. ;) I was told by my brother and sister how my dad couldn't do a rib show without either of us or one of us than none of us at all. He told them how much he needs us both there all the time, I remember when I had to go home from Reno, NV because of my son's first day of school that I missed and needed to be home, He drove me all the way to Columbus, Ohio and we switched vans and he end up in tears after saying goodbye to me, I never knew about this until the day Moose which another co-worker told me after he arrived home from the other show. I was surprised that my dad actually cried. :aw: But, honestly I did cried too because I worked all two months on the roads with my dad without going home, And I did misses him too.
 
definitely...

There have been many times I have felt this way, I just chalk it up to the facts of life, there will always be slackers in every job field. :( Sad but true. Hope things get better for you hon.
 
I know that feeling. Here at NTID, a lot of students are just so damn lazy that they don't want to do anything but party. They love to cause trouble because they think it makes them "cool" and popular. They also hang out with the wrong crowd because they think it makes them better people. Now, we have a lot of great leaders and potential leaders who aren't recognized by others and are often ridiculed as the losers around campus. I applaud these people for their hard work and effort. As for the rest, I pity them because all they want is attention and think that being "bad" makes them popular. :roll:
 
Ya know...

One day those people who are ridiculed and are put down because they are doing exactly what college is meant for...learning...thos people will become something great...and have very prosperous (not sure aobut the spelling here LOL) lives. The people who goof off thru college...some may wake up before it is too late and cram and might make something of themselves...you never know...but there will be a percentage taht you will see years from now...no where...lost in space and time and will have nothing to show for all the money spent for their education...the society we live in...more times than most has repeated this for years...there are those few slackers that slip thru the cracks and actually make something of themselves...but that is actually very rare...ad eventually they fall on their butts cuz others get tired of carying their lazy A**** :) So eventually there will be some kind of justice for them. :) have a great day!
