Lol, totally true.

I work in the billing dept at a day center for people recovering from serious mental illness, so behavioral health.
My entire department at work frustrates me, including my boss. I'm the only one who actually bothers to get to work on time. I'm there by or before 7:30am every day. They all show up anywhere from 8:30 to 10 something or sometimes not at all. I also actually do my work while they watch YouTube videos and talk about clothes and generally act like words I'll get an infraction for writing here. My boss is probably outside smoking more than she's inside pretending to work.

Probably the most frustrating is that despite me having been in the department longest (1 1/2 years) except my boss, and my boss telling me numerous times that I'm her most reliable employee, my coworker who's been there 6 months is treated the exact same and now paid the same as me. This has a good bit to do with my boss and her being friends. Same coworker who's never even close to being on time and frequently doesn't show up.

I do love my job though. I'm paid well and its a cool place to work even if my department kind of sucks where the employees are concerned.

The guy who was coasting at my office got released for doing something an idiot would do. He got himself fired :D. Now I work with a guy who feels entitled because his pops works as a lead, and a guy who finds something to complain about ANYTHING. The other guy is chill - I'm actually the one who got him the job :D. Figures I put my name behind someone I feel will do a good job!

When I first had a run-in with lazy workers, I was informed about the 80/20 rule... 80% of the people work 20% of the time. Accept this, get over it, and just do your job to the best of your abilities.

There is no way that is correct lol

I was joking about starting to smoke guys lol. But ive learned whenevr i feel like being lazy i just say, " alright time for a cigarette break". Or "ok i need a cigarette break" and someone will always come outside amd smoke why i sit down for a few. Its fun to manipulate nicotine addicts lol.

I work at a full service boat yard/fuel dock, and sitting with your thumb up your butt gets you canned around here. We hire on a lot of people once the weather starts warming up and we get busy, and around fall/winter there are a lot of layoffs (and some people just leave, very seasonal work place). Thankfully I'm useful enough to keep around year long, and I feel fortunate that 90% of the people I work with don't slack around, and they're entertaining to boot. However, there's one guy they've hired on this summer that I just can't STAND. He'll take extra time while running out for parts (up to an hour, though he cut that crap once the general manager made a comment on it) and he just won't stop complaining! No one likes doing the general chores he was hired to do, but.... he was hired for those little things, and knows it. The rest of us are trying to get boats in and out of this place. Due to boat really meaning bring on another thousand, we're trying to get things done and done correctly, and I really don't have time for his little sissy fits (I'd compare it to the whining my brother did when he was friggin 7 years old)
