Pieces of my Mind

   So I feel like I didn't express enough how pissed off I was about Crab Shack's display of lack of team work. It was so hard for me not to be bitter about the whole thing today at work. I think I only talked to him twice, but I still remained civil with him. I may not have been as friendly as I normally am, but I believe I could get an A for effort. Here are the things I would like to say to him right now:

   Alright dude, I fuckin' get it, okay. You're butt hurt that you didn't get your way in the meeting the other day in regards to getting a raise, but honestly I'm not even sure you deserve one. Yes, you're a hard worker, but you're the newest member of the team and you have the poorest attendance. So why should we reward poor attendance with a raise? That wouldn't make much business sense now would it?

   Just because you were told it doesn't look like the raise thing is going to happen soon doesn't mean it's not going happen. You just have to have some damn patience. The two other members have been on the team for over a year and they're being very professional about it. They accept the fact that this takes time. 

   There is a lot of red tape involved when it comes to outsourcing. No other account in The Company pays more for agent assist, yes I know Tier 2 is more than agent assist, but that's not the way corporate looks at things. So The Company won't shell out extra cash for the position because it's technically not any higher level than an entry level position. Therefore there needs to be negotiations with the client during contract talks, which only happen once a year.

   I have personally been working on getting Tier 2 employees extra pay for damn near three years. I don't know why you think throwing a hissy fit like a 5 year old is going to get anything done. You still need to do your job and at times put forth some extra effort to get the job done.

   Sta, who just recently acquired the back-up Tier 2 position two days ago actually offered to cover for your stubborn ass on Saturday. Just so you would work on Sunday with the rest of us, but I declined her offer. I don't believe you deserve to have Saturday off on top of the four days in a row you're going to have off in the beginning of the week.

   Yes, we would probably get more work done with you there, but honestly with the way you have been acting recently I don't want you there. Lately I have only seen you as a cancer to the rest of the team. You help bring down the morale of the team with your attitude. Yes, things suck right now, but being negative about it doesn't change shit.

   You even rallied the other new Tier 2 back-up to badger me about getting full access to Tier 2 tools. You clearly don't think I know he needs this access so you tell him exactly want to say and how to say it. I can't flip a switch and get him complete access to everything. IT needs to do most of these things and as everyone knows, they don't work on the weekends. So climb down from your God damn high horse and back the fuck off!
