I totally feel like I missed something recently...
When did it become OK to totally just make your co-workers feel like crap when they forget something or don't know a particular thing?
Yeah, that's been happening to me at Best Buy. I quit. Seriously. Yet, they want me to try to get my shifts covered so it's OK for me to quit. I'm sorry, but I disagree. They can't do anything about it if I don't call in or don't show up. They can't take me to court. I never signed a contract with them.
So, I don't pitch the magazine spiel during every single sale. I'm sorry, but no one wants to hear about fucking magazines when they're paying for their stuff. No one. I know I hate it. I mean, it's totally alright to pitch the extended warranty spiel because that's gonna benefit the customer in the end. But magazines?! Really Best Buy?! Really?! Don't be that guy.
Oh wait... you can't help it. Because all you care about is money.
It's not about money. It's just not.
See, I love my job at Legoland. They actually treat me like a human being, and they honor my requests, and they learn to work around the problems. If I change my availability with them, they don't question it. They know that my life doesn't revolve around that job. I mean sure, I make my schedules around it, but it's not like they're gonna freak out if I call in sick one day.
There aren't any snitches at Legoland either.
A couple nights ago, I got into a small tiff with a fellow co-worked at Best Buy. I explained to them that I have a moralistic issue with trying to sell magazines to the customers. My co-worker told me that I'm just supposed to do it, and technically, I could get fired for not selling it. Sorry, but I just don't agree with it. I think it's so stupid. What does my co-worker do? They tell on me. They tell our supervisor. Really?!?! That's so first grade. Come on! All you care about is yourself and your own selfish agenda. I'm glad you want to move up in the company. That's great for you, but you really don't need to just take out as many people on the way.
And to all the supervisors: get bent. It's just Best Buy. Seriously. It's just Best Buy.
Life is too short to just worry about your store.
I feel like Best Buy controls your guys' lives. Is it worth it? Are you happy? Do you like putting your blood, sweat, and tears into a company that is eventually going to collapse lie Rome?
My prediction: Best Buy will get too big for its own good. It will collapse from the inside, and soon, it will all come crumbling down.
So you know what? I hope Best Buy does go out of business. I can get the things I need elsewhere. I don't need Best Buy, and I know for a fact that the world doesn't need it either.
It's just another big, stupid corporation that isn't rich enough.
I'm not saying that I'm anti-establishment. I'm saying that I'm anti-big-corporation-that-could-give-a-shit-about-its-employees.
They don't care. I have a right mind to write to them and tell them that they need to start treating their employees with more respect, and try to keep their dignity in tact.
I was questioned on my integrity tonight.
Let's define that, shall we?
Integrity: adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
Let's define dignity now.
Dignity: bearing, conduct, or speech indicative of self-respect or appreciation of the formality or gravity of an occasion or situation.
Guess what! Working at Best Buy has really punched my dignity in the throat, and according to everything above, my personal integrity has been butchered.
So I was questioned on my integrity. If I continue to work at Best Buy, selling crap I don't agree with, that's me turning my back on my integrity and my dignity. So guess what Best Buy: I'm done. Selling a bunch of crap, and pretty much lying to the customers goes against my integrity and my dignity. So what if I don't get my shifts covered for the next week?! If I quit, those shifts become your problem. Not mine. I mean, c'mon supervisors. Isn't that why you're a supervisor? You know how to handle problems well, and you work really hard to make money for a company that eventually fall like an empire.
You guys are so tempting at first. Then you live inside the machine for a few weeks, and you see just how ugly it really is; just how cut-throat everyone is. It's despicable. Seriously. I wish I could shut the company down myself. It's not my cup of tea. Why is it so hard to be civil? I don't understand. You guys are turning into a monopoly. Be happy with that. But here's another thing: I'm still better than you.
