I almost walked out of work twice today because the person they hired to process orders literally cannot retain information no matter who, how and when information is relayed. She's been doing this job, the same thing over and over all day, for t months. She asks me, interrupting my sales calls every FIFTEEN MINUTES to ask the same questions. I cannot do this poo poo anymore. I literally wrote up documentation, step by step, on how to do everything. She also passes me every single call that someone says "I'd like to set up an account." It's usually a single person wanting to buy like, a single item. Instead of taking and processing the order, she sends it to me. When I'm dealing with million dollar a year plus revenue clients. I don't have time for this. Her bullshit is causing me to miss appointments. She also fucks up every order, and instead of taking reinstruction with grace, she just gets upset. I'll say "hey, [name], would you mind looking at this with me? It looks like the address was supposed to be this. Can you switch it to their requested address? Thanks!" Or "hey friend, can you review this? It looks like you might have miskeyed an item number, they actually asked for this. Can you revise and send them a new invoice, advising them? Thanks!" Instead of actually doing it she just says "I'm a loving idiot, gently caress me" or "I'm at loving stupid." She's in her late middle age. That poo poo is manipulative as gently caress. Don't do that. I am really loving good at my job but I need order accuracy and I need someone who can communicate with grace with my customers. She's their first point of contact. Telling someone "oh, you wanna talk to uhhhhhh Hamjobs? Hold on I guess" I would like to see someone, idk, professional. I don't think my boss pays enough for professional though. I feel like a lovely micromanager. I just want her to like, pick up on what I'm putting down. |

She worked 2 hours of overtime today because she couldn't get her poo poo together enough to just do things in an organized fashion and I'm just getting my teeth because my boss is gonna flip the gently caress out that I'm not getting anything done because I'm getting interrupted all day. He already got mad that I'm touching things when customers call to complain. |

"did you send that quote?" Yes, here's the timestamp. "That seems low, change it to this this and this" no that's what they asked for and he's already told me it's too much "Well, charge him more" no? I don't think so. |

I go to work every day. We've been in the office the entire pandemic. Today: "wow we should look into working from home." Holy gently caress. Ok. I'm on board. "Ehhhhh it might hit us on taxes." THAT IS THE LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS, I ASSURE YOU. |

We find poo poo, constantly, that has been hidden for more than a decade. I found a case of a long defunct manufacturer's original formula for a bamboo soap. It was a glycerine soap in a plastic wrap. The plastic had liquefied due to the breakdown of the glycerine soap from being stored in improper, overheated conditions near a hot water pipe for fifteen years. It was awful. |

Also, felt on not knowing what your job even is. I have sold more in two weeks, revenue and net profit wise, than what my company has made in five years. And my boss still stuff I don't know poo poo about poo poo, verbatim. I run multiple businesses in my own when I'm not at my job. And I do well enough that I shouldn't have to have a job. I only have this one to please another person, and that other person holds my life in their hands in a lot of ways that I can't get into here. It's complex and it's unhappy. Someday I will not have to do that. I keep holding on to my life with the hope that someday exists. |

Take the paper until you find another gig. That's my current plan. I got my book pitch in to the right people finally and now I gotta do the negotiation dance, and when that's finalized I'm quitting. I realize I won't get rich, and that was never the plan, but it's better than *gestures around* so. |

I straight up nailed a six million dollar sale in a month and my boss just said I don't have the chops to sell. That's two plus years of revenue, with a 30% margin. I'm done. I'll walk soon and I'm okay with that. |

I actually don't have a single desire in my body to sell, I'm just incredibly good at it. I have no ambition and the only reason I have a job is to satisfy my now estranged wife, because I run two separate businesses full time with a huge net profit (actual profit after expenses and taking out salary, not revenue) and actually enjoy my work when left to my own devices. Having a "real job," as she calls it, nets me zero benefits, I make an hourly poo poo wage, I'm berated constantly and it's cutting into my time that I could be spending volunteering or growing my own poo poo. |

That's the thing. I keep kicking the can down the road saying "just a few more months" and it's been two years almost. I feel like two years is a long time considering that I'm the longest serving employee they've ever had. That's depressing. |

I have cleared approximately seven years in revenue, five in net profit, by myself in eight weeks. My boss today: "I think you might be okay at selling but you should use <outdated verbiage>." Me: but that doesn't apply anymore, because <reasons>. My boss: "since when? It's always been like this, right?" Me: since 2017. That's why you were hemorrhaging customers. |

They're hiring another sales rep at twice what I make and letting them work from home. New guy is 21 and in college still. I'm done. I'm just, I'm about to lose it completely. I'm literally working through a pandemic selling my rear end off which is not even why I was hired, and I get paid poo poo an hour, and I work full time. With no benefits. |

I'm not trying to be contrary but like, if I walk out there's a damned good chance my wife yanks my house away from me. On top of that, I get paid just enough that I can't get any assistance with anything, so. I'm hosed either way. I'm just going to go also my dick on the competitor's table and tell them they're going to hire me for more money and let me work from home. Barring that I'll retreat into the loving woods and live amongst the wolves, see if I give a flying gently caress anymore. |

rear end-penny posted:Is your wife tied to the company you're working for? Or they just don't want you walking out without an actual job offer on the table? Either way, reading these posts is really helping put my work related problems into perspective. My wife has zip to do with my company. My wife just holds my house in her name as a carrot. It's complicated and I don't want to get into it, she lives on the west coast and works for big Search Engine, high up, and basically this is my consolation prize for being a practice spouse. Things are in slow motion for dissolution because reasons. I get nothing but a place to live and health insurance in the meantime. I have zero freedom in my life, I have an illness that is overtaking me, and what's left of my sanity is crumbling due to circumstances beyond my control. It's real good. |

Somebody tried to put in a web order eleven times over the weekend. The payment connector we use between our processor and Magento failed somehow. Eleven times this person's card was charged--not just auth'd, but charged and settled--for over 4k a pop. They big mad and I'm like "did you think to stop after one?" I'm big mad because I can't figure out why the connector failed for only one customer and not the 2000+ others we had over the weekend. |

I'm angling a pitch right now for a wfh job at a company that is now remote only and they literally laughed when I asked them if they were planning on going back to the office ever. "We don't give a gently caress, our board is smarter than that." Let's hope they stay smart. I won't hold my breath. |
