I know I said I wouldn't bitch about work, but I can't help it. I kind of feel like I've been shit on, like everything I've tried to do, was merely taken for granted. I feel like I got screwed over for working too hard, and now any desire for promotion or advancement there is gone. I was going to quit today, but I decided to secure a new job before doing so, so I don't end up screwing myself. I can't work at a place that would have that little prick as a manager anyway. I shouldn't be too mad, because I was going to leave eventually anyway, but... I've lost all respect for that place now. Not just the place, but everybody above me working there as well (except you, JP). Sometimes I think that if I had just been a lazy asshole, and stood around up in box office all through my shifts instead of actually working, I could be getting trained for manager right now. But now, regardless of what happens, I'm absolutely positive that my time would be better spent elsewhere.
Posted by at June 21, 2005 02:51 AMI know how you feel joe, I went through the same feeling when people were promoted over me, although my situation was different, because I was in college and wasnt the right choice for manager. But you were a perfect example for someone to be promoted, older, more experianced, dedicated coming in all the time when your not supposed to work, hard working and knowledgeable of every area of the theater, it's a damn shame and starworlds fault it will lose you.
fuck starworld. Now that Rob is gone all hope is lost.
Posted by: Nick at June 21, 2005 08:21 AMYeah, Starworld is going down the tubes. Like I said to Joe, now it is just a summer job to me, something I'm doing to earn money before college, then I'll be done with it. I'm actually only still there to make life easier on those working there at the moment. All the college people that are working there, I just don't think it would be fair to leave them, and Red, by themselves.
A little more tid-bit about Zum. I talked to Red while I was building those computers. More or less, he just happens to be there, a mere after thought, someone to do a few things. Neither of us think of him as someone ideal, nor someone who would get much respect from the staff. I talked to her about you, and she said that they didn't even realized or think you wanted to be a manager. She agrees you could easily do the work, and do it well. Zum was just there... when I found out he was being trained on some things, I was like, who in the world said for him too. Actually, a lot of it is pretty much because of Crispy. He decided on his own to train Jeff and Zum how to count, which I was against once I found out. But anyways... Zum can have the place once August hits, shoot, not even Jeff is planning to stay, so what does that say about Zum.
On an afterthough, I kinda envy you in some ways Joe. You got to move up to projection. I messed myself up by working to hard, and was stuck in Concession, no one wanting me to be moved out. Paul even asked once, and they basically said no. I'd rather be a projectionist than a manager many times.
Posted by: JP at June 21, 2005 08:50 AMthat is true, projection seems like a better job than manager... but I still get put in concession too, especially on busy days... and now I'm gonna have that kid trying to tell me what to do. given I'm not going to acknowledge a damn word he says...

It's smart to find another job before quitting. It really sucks to be treated like a slave.
