Circuit city is pissing me off.
Ok, so we had this meeting today, all about what associates think, how the company is going to be more associate focused, caring about what we think, etc. And we did this little recognition thing, people got little things, like footballs.I don't want a football. I don't want candy. I wanted a Thank you. I work my ass off for that store. I have literally made myself sick from stress and overwork for that store. I scoop the shit out of their toilets when they become plugged. I paint for them. I clean for them. I do everything I can for the customer for them. I show up on time, if not early, every day, for them. I was the planogram person when we didn't have one. I run errands, organize things, do cycle counts (mini inventories) I come in at 6am twice a week to put crap away for 5 hours. I do every long night once a month for them. If I see something out of place, or that isn't supposed to happen, I notify them. I bend over backwards for them, in every way I can. I pester them as little as I possibly can. I am friendly, open, I joke and laugh with customers. I had a fucking misscarraige, and still tried my damndest to do my job the next day. I only call out sick if I am puking my guts up or passing out.And I can't even get a fucking "Thank you" in front of the group.Is it just me, or is that messed up? There are a couple other people there who work either as hard as me, if not a bit more, and they didn't get recognized, either. But, the people everyone knew certainly got their round of thanks.How fair is that?

I put up with all their little last minute schedule changes. I only have one time I cannot work, and that's a few hour window of time, sunday mornings, to go to church, and they can't even respect that. Yes, i know I am swearing, and makes me look hypocritcal. Not getting into religion right now, but......I swear, please, let jas find a corp job soon, so I can start driving, and live with taking a paycut to work somewhere else, where "Thank you" won't be greek to the managers.
*finds a badge, puts hand on heart* We don't talk much anymore, but you're awesome, so on behalf of everyone you've ever glanced at or glanced at online, THANK YOU.
I think that means more to me than any little thing my managers could say:)Thank you:*
:) You're welcome. We need to catch up sometime.
Would you be able to quit there and work somewhere else? If I were you and I could, I'd definately look for another job... I mean, if you're not happy where you work it really sucks. Obviously.
If they truly knew how to appreciate us, then we wouldn't have been having the meeting. Once we've all moved on to better jobs and lives they'll learn, but it will be too late. As far as thanks, you make everything go so smoothly that you get taken for granted as the quiet well behaved helpful one behind the scenes. I'm sorry I didn't think to say anything to bring it to everyone else's attention. Unfortunately everyone is more likely to notice things that stand out in a negative way...like being late or being uncoopertive, or lazy and spending half their shift in the break room like all your fellow pst associates do. And when all else fails, whore yourself out on the bizrate surveys, write your name on every receipt next to the code, remind them of your name and that they should use it to give you brownie points, and if you have time, set them up at a computer and get them started on the survey...thats how I finally got my name in. People forget or get busy once they get home.
