Flyover, sounds like you've been busy. And I'm entertained by the way you describe things. I hope you find a better job soon. It really is sad when companies don't realize they are losing good employees with stupid policies and allowing people who create a hostile work environment to stay.
My brother is getting fed up with his job. It's low pay and there are a few slackers at work so he has to do their jobs for them and then he's the one who gets yelled at by the boss- even though the boss has noticed which ones are slacking. He was due for a promotion and got the training for it, but either someone said something to the boss or the boss somehow got it in his head that my brother was the one responsible for a lot of the problems at work-- but the other co-workers have said that he's not. So, the boss is not giving him the shift-lead position he promised and the extra hours my brother put in for training were a waste. The boss is also drastically understaffing so there aren't enough people to do things. My brother has gotten to the point where he stopped caring about things getting done and is just leaving things that are other people's jobs to do for them to do (which is ironic because it's what happened at home when I got tired of constantly picking up after my brother and doing his share of the chores because he wouldn't do them)-- one of the slackers had a major temper tantrum about it because he doesn't like to actually do his own job. The work cuts in to his playing games on his phone and listening to music at work thing. So, my brother is looking for another job now.
I'm considering looking in to see what sort of training/certification I would need to officially be a caretaker for my mother. She constantly gripes about how I need to get a job, but I can't leave the house for more than an hour or two without her freaking out that I'm not there to take care of her. This state won't pay people to be caretakers for family members-- but if I've been told if I get some sort of certification, her insurance will pay for me to take care of her. And maybe I could learn something useful that could end up saving her life some day.
