More Stress

JULY 29, 2013

To think that I'm getting back to smiling again and enjoying my job is too much to ask for. Sadly, nothing's changed. One issue quiets down and another arises.

The guy who was reprimanded on my behalf isn't there anymore. Not sure if he was suspended or just gone for good. One less hazard to worry about.

The people chatting behind me also quieted down a little bit. There's still some, but not as bad as before. However, the ones a couple cubicles down started their own chatterbox. Every night, as soon as the designated lead for our row leaves for the day, the chatter starts and it never stops. There's still customers waiting to be assisted and all I hear is blah blah blah. We're not in freaking high school! This isn't a fucking class where you can just decide to slack off and socialize! How can these people still be working when clearly they're not a good fit for the job? What happened to the quality of employees rather than the quantity? They don't deserve to be there. They don't even work enough to earn their pay!

I'm just so frustrated, I just want to leave. But as a reasonable person, I don't want to leave just because it's getting too difficult to deal with, not only my customers, but my coworkers as well. The end of August can't get here fast enough for me to know whether I'm getting promoted before then, or I'm leaving and finding a new job. I don't want to deal with any more stress. My face has more frown lines nowadays than laugh lines. It's absolutely unacceptable. I have a freaking degree and I deserve more than this. I deserve to be in a better environment where I enjoy my job and the people around me inspire each other to work harder, instead of irritating the hell out of each other because they're so damn lazy.
