Incompetence!

I need to vent a little, so if you don't want to read, I don't really care one way or the other....

It has come to my attention that so much of the workforce is managed by incompetent idiots, who are actually managed by their  employees. I am tired of having to organize or pick up my boss' shit! If I'm going to be your personal assistant, my job description needs to be changed, I demand a raise, and I'll be keeping a detailed schedule of your day to day, since you can't seem to keep up with it yourself.

It would be kind of nice if you had the courtesy of letting me know you have meetings scheduled, so I can at least be prepared when random people walk in the door expecting that I know who they are and what they're doing here. Don't make me look like the idiot.

Oh, and when you aren't going to come into work or are running late, I know you're technically my boss...but a simple phone call would be nice. That way, when Your boss calls trying to find you, I'll know what to say...or better yet, call Your boss! Everyone should be help accountable, even you. 

No one is above answering the phone. Unless you are paying my salary, you have two ears, two hands, and are capable of saying "Hello, how may I help you". It only rings an average of 15 times a day, so you shouldn't be overwhelmed. Making me come into work to answer the phone is unacceptable. If you have time to dabble in non-work related internet whatnot...you have time to help out a little. 

Oh! And for those of you who think you don't have to help maintain a level of cleanliness (ie washing your own damn dishes), you have another thing coming. Just because I am a female, does not mean I have to do all the cleaning around here. Once again, you have two hands...the toilet/sinks need wiping, vacuuming is not rocket science, and don't try to say you're busy...because watching YouTube, or reading India's news does not count. 

You don't know how to manage anyone, much less yourself. I'm tired of acting like your mom and reminding you of work that needs to get done, or is past due! Stop trying to take over every little thing I do and take credit for it. It's almost been 9 months and this custom label shit is STILL not up and running! Quit dragging your feet and DO YOUR JOB! 

Ok, sorry...I think I'm good for now :)
