Josephina took me into her office today and said I was creating a "poisonous" atmosphere at work because, I apparently hate Khloudi.

I said I did not hate Khloudi, I didn't even really dislike her, but I resent how she is NEVER AT WORK. Yes, she IS top salesperson, go her. but think how much MORE she'd do if she was AT WORK once in a while. This woman takes two or three vacations a year and every Wednesday off. Seriously. She also leaves calls un-returned, and paperwork unfinished. One guess who picks up all those dropped balls.

I was told I was just jealous of her lifestyle and that I should "learn from her" because we have "so much in common."

Like what? I asked. She's a spoiled favourite child, 13 years younger than me, married at 20 to a successful personal injury lawyer (the kind of lawyer people have in mind when they say "kill all the lawyers"). I'm jealous of HER lifestyle? Fuck you, she should be jealous of me. At least I'm not 25 with two kids who I hate. (This is a woman who won't pick up her crying baby because it'll "spoil" her. If that isn't hating your children, I don't know what is.)

Essentially I was told learn to like Khloudi or get fired. I now know what I need to learn from her. I need to learn to have enough control over people that they'll give me anything I want, no matter how unreasonable.

I was also told that my anger is interfering with things. That did hurt, because I'm trying to keep my anger here in my journals, not elsewhere. I'm upset to know that I'm failing.

I hate when sales managers take that attitude.

I don't see a problem with her not working as many hours, if she still has top sales. I think she deserves it and she might need it to perform that way. But, I do have a big problem with people who leave their work for other people to do. And in commissioned sales, that is tantamount to stealing from the person who has to spend their time doing it.

Here's a couple of quotes I think are appropriate to the current situation:

"It is odd, is it not, that a person's worth to society is measured by their wealth, when instead their wealth should be measured by their worth to society." - A. Cygni

"A positive attitude will not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."
Herm Albright.

This is one of the reasons why I hate working in sales. There are people working in sales that just have their souls turned off, and a heart full of greed and self-importance.

The sales people aren't commissioned, nor am I a sales person. I'm the administrative assistant. They do get bonuses from the suppliers if they sell a lot of a supplier's product. I don't MIND doing her follow up work, but I dislike intensely having her customers call me up yelling at ME because she didn't call them back/fax them certain forms/find out some info. Then I end up doing it while having to smooth rough feathers, a position I'd rather not be in. Since she takes so much time off, this happens a lot.

Then again, it's just the fact that she takes time off at will when I have to come in with a fever to establish I'm sick so I can take time off for that.

Man, I'm glad I get to clean up after everybody now. The only person who seems to not be interested in giving me her work is Stacy which is way cool because she's my fave regular sales person. I think I would have rather kept cleaning dog shit and piss than being everybody's bitch.
