Typical Drama

So, life has been plodding along relentlessly. The workplace hasn't changed one bit. More turnover than a rent-by-the-hour hotel room. The "Table of Negativity" (#203, in case you wondered) has been buzzing non-stop. I love this moniker, because it is so accurate. I googled workplace and the consensus is that it's a great restaurant, but needs new ownership/management. I had to laugh. Let's just pull one example from the plethora. A waitress came in early with her ride to work, and was sitting at the Table doing something other than work. One of the TOO MANY managers came in and FREAKED out that A)the employee didn't jump up and salute at their arrival, B)the girl didn't stop doing the activity that was not work related and C)that other "responsible" employees didn't do something about it. Well DUH! the fucking girl was not on the clock! So instead of just asking the waitress why she was sitting there "goofing off" we had to make phone calls to another manager AND the owners. So the end result was that the "responsible" employees got bitched out royally for nothing. Absolutely nothing. It is shit like this that makes all the good employees that we ever have quit in less than a year. Oh well, hopefully my time there will be blessedly short.
