I don't understand people one bit, I really don't. There's three of us girls that work up at the airport, and our shifts rotate, so we get to work with each other all the time. Basically two in the morning, one at night (which is what I am on currently); I just don't understand the other two. When I work with them, they KNOW what they are doing, they complain about each other with things like "Oh she didn't do this, ugh" or "How could she screw that up" just stupid, petty stuff. Yet when I come in to work the night shift, it's like they don't care. I've been here for a long time, I basically run this booth or as my manager would put it "I don't know what I would do without you up there." It's just that they act as if they only care that one person didn't do something correctly when I'm around in the morning, and then they just do as they please when I'm not working with them. It really frustrates me.
Maybe it's just me though, maybe it's just because I always give more then what the company asks for, I work my ass off to prove myself and I do a damn good job. Today my manager told me that she was proud of me for taking a fifteen passenger van, with an eight foot enclosed trailer attached to it, all the way to the airport, no questions asked. I just did it, I didn't complain or ask why one of the guys couldn't do it. I know for a fact the other two wouldn't do it.
She rarely shows it, but my manager appreciates her staff when they do things like that. She's a real hard ass, she rarely misses work when she's sick unless she's deathly ill and she kind of expects that of others too. Or when you're just three steps ahead of the ball and you do things that you aren't expected to do but do it because it has to be done anyways. I guess that's another reason why I'm still working here, because I know I am appreciated.
To me, if no one cares what kind of a job your doing or don't think you make even a small difference, it's not worth my time. If it wasn't for the fact that: 1) I'm moving in three months and 2) The appreciation I get, I would have left the company long ago. I can tell you that my boss himself, the owner, he doesn't give a rats ass. This past weekend we completely reorganized the lot so it would be easier to locate vehicles (ex. 15 passenger vans in 1 row, dodge trucks in another, etc), everyone loved it, said we did a good job, looked so much better, etc. He just never said a word. Not even a "looks nice", not a single word.
I'm just venting out frustrations I guess, it's been a long night and it's still not over. I guess I can find something else that hasn't been done yet and work on that.
