Those Freakin' Sexist BASTARDS

[Chicklet]

Okay I'm a little bit peeved, because yesterday the new department boss at work chose his shift managers.

Picture this - A deli completely full of women, seriously - like, out of 40 people, there is the one manager and three other men. Guess who the manager chose as his shift managers? YUP! All the men.

So, are they more qualified? NO. *I* have more managing experience than they do, and my co-worker Cindy has been a kitchen manager for over twenty years.

Have they worked there longer? Maybe they have seniority. NOPE! Scott's been there 1 month, and the others only three.

Are they older than me? I'm young, that could be a reason. NOPE. Scott is younger than I am, and the others are my age.

All the women are really pissed, myself included. I think that the manager is a fucking pig and I think I'm off to write a story starring him and a few of his angry employees (and their strap-on's)

I would be first in line to read it and second, I would drop an anonymous copy to each of them before the shift starts. Just MHO>

Oy

Isn't it fun to wake up one morning and realize you now work for Archie Bunker...

*despair*

 

[Stout chap]

Join the union and go on strike! Fight the machine, and all that. Bigotry can't be helped, generally. Pity, really.

 

[Lilith/Eve]

Have you looked in a mirror recently? No wonder you didn't get the job you ugly ginger cunt. You should be locked up in the basement filing things away than force people to look upon your ugly face.

Women are shit anyway. All, sugar and spice, and everything that's useless unless their naked.

on striking...

I work in a grocery store that happens to be one of the only one's not in the union right now. The reason they're not in the union is that they keep all their shit high above the union standards, so the employees don't *want* to strike. I'm afraid if we tried something like that they'd just hire more people.

As for the story, I'm definitely headed towards my word program, and I will probably show it to the ladies I work with.

I'm just pissed, and I hate knowing everyone I work with is pissed.

On a stranger topic, when Scott mentioned that he'd gotten the promotion, after the other two had said they'd gotten theres, I said "It's obvious who brought their kneepads to the interview." Do you think that that would be a good addition to my story?

lol

and btw I think for a 21 yr old my job is pretty decent.

 

[BgMma]

Well, I am 25 and I am stuck at Dollar General, so don't feel bad! You could be working for my boss, and I am not EVEN getting into that!

 

[Lilith/Eve]

Have you met any Aussies Hanns? they fucking hate it when we mention that they're all descended from the scum of England. Like a film of shit skimmed from the top of a rancid glass of water.

 

[Lilith/Eve]

I'm 25 and my job is fucking amazing. You people should be ashamed that you're till jockeys, with no prospects. You should go home and kill yourselves.

 

[Soblue]

Ooh, get em girl. Sounds like the makings for a good revenge story.

This is unfortunately Oh so true in the world of workplace politics though.

They look at men as more carreer oriented, more in need to support a family, etc.

Also there is the "one of the guys" issue. More likely to promote one of their own.

Sorry.

 

[Chicklet]

shall I put your boss in the story, too?

Wow you're a real firebrand chicklet. Didn't get your promotion through what you think is sexism (A word made up by dykes) so what do you do? Sue the company? Go on strike? No, you write a story about it.

ahahahahaha

you still in the fourth grade or somehting?

 

[Cheyenne]

He is the store manager, not the store owner. Point out that he has put all the men in charge and that they aren't more experienced, older, etc. than women who are qualified. Write a letter to the store owner, in other words, to ask "why?" Ask what you need to do to get one of those shift manager positions, ask constructively. Then wait to see if the owner takes the hint.

 

[BgMma]

Hey, let's hear it for dykes! Whaddaya say, Chicklet!

 

[Chicklet]

OMG MY SECRET HAS BEEN DISCOVERED!

I think I'll just dedicate this story to boss's and employees everywhere.

Darn, and here I thought you were really 21. I was hoping for some serious ginger nookie, but I guess that is out of the question now!
