sakon76*points up at subject line* As in, I HAVE HAD IT.
I am now officially job hunting.
I have had one piddly-ass raise in seven years, there is ZERO chance for any sort of advancement or career path, my manager puts in half days at the most, and none of my coworkers have positive attitude or any sort of camaraderie.
And today? Coworker X, who is an old white male hired a couple years after I was and somehow feels himself to be entitled, told me to do something he was entirely capable of doing himself (putting ashes in an urn by a certain time). Now, he has done this to me plenty of times, and ROUTINELY they're not needed until hours or even days later. While I'm out putting ashes in urns in the order in which they're received, he comes out and yells (yes, actually yells) at me because the family's been waiting and I haven't put them in the urn yet. I was supposed to magically know they'd been waiting, because no one had come out and told me. Then, when I put the ashes in the urn and bring them in to him, he yells at me again, in front of the customers. I left the room and the conversation; I do not get paid to put up with that kind of shit.
The straw on the camel's back, though, is that even when I tell the manager about this on Monday, NOTHING will get done. Because Coworker X is in golden with the owner and the boat captain. He lives in the apartment over the office rent-free. He routinely shouts at customers over the phone (I can hear him from upstairs) and shoves as much of his work off on anyone he can, as he can. Doing his own e-mails is NOT THAT HARD, you know. Odds are good, that I will get told I should have been doing exactly what Coworker X told me to. Never mind that he is not, in fact, my boss, and was the one making a scene in front of our clients. Never mind that he was sitting on his ass playing solitaire on his computer and was PERFECTLY capable of seeing to his clients' needs himself.
So. That is why I am job hunting. I am tired of this shit, and I need to move. Honestly, I should have moved on years ago, but better late than never.
Now the only question is, how does one go about job hunting?
