We're all thinking, "Please, do not come into work tomorrow." Yes, we know you are scheduled, and no, we cannot tell our manager how much we hate you because then we would get in trouble ourselves; just don't worry about coming in any way. The only thing we can honestly thank you for is helping us learn that life will sometimes make you deal with people you really don't want to deal with, but you don't have a choice. Oh, and don't you dare try to sit here and get on your phone while I'm busting my tail-end trying to make the customers and our manager happy. If you do, I will become very agitated and will literally strangle you with words from my livid mouth.
Do you ever have these people? For example, you're having a great day today, laughing with friends, and then you have that one thought of that one person you work with; your face goes numb with dread. That person is the person this article is dedicated to, so if you get sent this article by someone you work with, I don't suggest going to work tomorrow because they might be on the edge of smacking you right into the next week's work schedule. Yes, this article is dedicated to the people that we think should get their hours ultimately depleted yet can't say anything to their adviser because it's not the professional thing to do.
Nothing angers me more than when you come in late to work. Like, really? Everyone hates you, you barely got the job in the first place, and now you're going to risk it by being late? I understand you're not the brightest one we have around here, but come on now... Surely you know that you can't just get away with things that easily. So you come in and you come up with some lame excuse.
Another thing that bothers me is when you take a phone call on the clock and say, "It's important." Well, I mean, I'm over here feeling bad because I'm thinking of some of the worst things that could be going wrong in your life and you come out and say, "Yeah, sorry. That was my ex; we were discussing some stuff." I will backhand the crap out of you if you do this. Maybe if you didn't have your phone in your pockets and using it while you're at work, you wouldn't answer the phone and maybe you wouldn't anger me and maybe that wouldn't make me a raging prick the whole shift.
But then there are those times that you are stuck with him/her alone and you actually have a nice conversation with him/her about some things going on in life and some things y'all can relate to. Those times are nice... Until they screw it up and start talking about all of the drama going on in their life and at work. I don't care if our boss said you couldn't eat your cheddar Goldfish at your desk, and I don't care that your mom thinks you're going behind her back by dating that boy/girl she doesn't want you dating. You were better off talking to me about the sky being what shade of blue rather than what shade your boyfriend/girlfriend he/she is throwing at you today on Facebook.
Yes, we all have those co-workers and we all know that, honestly, work wouldn't be the same without them. Just think, if we didn't have terrible co-workers, yourself and your other co-workers wouldn't be as close as you are now. So, to all the worst co-workers, we thank you for being the worst because you really do make the best stand out. A wise man once told me and a co-worker this, so I will pass it along to all the other co-workers that think this article applies to them: "Your hours have been decreased."
