coworkers Options

[Elba]

I had my coworker do some retention calls today. All she had to do was call people and tell them that they were past due on their payments. If there was no answer, then I asked her to fill out a post card to mail out. At the end of the day, I was putting stamps on all of the post cards when I realized "This bitch didn't f**king put the names or addresses on here!" OMFG. How am I supposed to MAIL them?

She's like 32, she just started working there a few months ago. She started off at 10 while I was getting 9 even though I have been there for so long. I was pissed because A) she's inexperienced and b) she's stupid. Also, I had to train her, and yet I was getting paid less.

Anyway, this bitch thinks she knows everything. One day, she told a client that his homeowner's policy didn't cover his personal property and that he should purchase renter's insurance.... SHE HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF INSURANCE, so how she thought she could go around telling people anything about anything is beyond me. LMAO. People who own a home do not rent and therefore do not need renter's insurance. Omg...

Here's something funny. She took her classes to get her insurance license. She has had WEEKS to study and takes the test next week. I am going to be laughing when she fails (well, laughing on the inside at least). And if see passes, then good for her, I guess.

Anyway, do you guys have difficult, stupid, obnoxious co-workers?

you should congratulate her by taking her out to dinner, and then you can sneak poisons into her food.

*it's cheaper than actually hiring someone.

But I can barely afford to feed myself. She's actually a nice, friendly woman. I just dislike the fact that she was getting paid more than me. She likes to kiss ass to get what she wants.

Elba, it might just be the age (agism). Maybe your boss thinks she should get paid more cause she's older, therefore (falsely), wiser.

Have you talked to him about raising yours?

It is the age. She's older, has children, and probably "needs" the money more. Although, her husband supports her. I need money, too. I commute 20 miles to school, I spend half of my paychecks on gas, school expenses are getting higher, I have student loans to pay for. It's just ridiculous. I started off at 8 and got raised to 9. At the time I got a raise, she was hired and started of at 10. After I got my license, I got raised to 12. I just recently got this raise so I can't really ask for another one. Also, I don't feel like it's within my right to tell her she should be paying me more--even though I think it's obvious. That woman could not handle being left alone at the office. Eh, I don't know. If she ends up giving her a raise above 12, and I find out, I may just look for a job elsewhere.

Stuff like that really chaps my ass. Not the fact that older people might get paid more, but the fact that experience should be rewarded. I quit my last job because I was equal in pay with people that had been there 8 months less than I had, yet I knew how to work in every department. On top of that, it came around to summer time and the lady started putting me on at 12 hours a week because she gave all the hours to the returning college kids. It was a load of complete shit and it really pissed me off.
