I work part time as a cook at a rehab facility making $9.50 an hour and today a new supervisor came in to check my kitchen at the end of my shift and he was with another supervisor that knows how to talk to people and the new guy started talking about me lumping me in with everybody saying if THEY don't see it they don't clean it talking like i wasn't even there which is disrespectful and i would a lot rather be lumped in with the group he was automatically assigning me to than to be associated with a disrespectful condescending know it all even though it is best to not be lumped in at all so i told him that he had not been with me all day and he did not realize what the day was like and to go look at the freezer i defrosted and cleaned and the storage containers that i cleaned out and the extra day care dishes i did and the outstanding care i gave to our residents because they are the reason we are here and i wanted to tell him to go ask them what they think of the job i am doing and perhaps it would behoove you to actually work a few actual shifts doing what you purport to judge and so what if i missed a few crumbs around the steam table and a few spots on the hand sink and i did not even take a break today partially because the last person did not come down for breakfast until 10:15 and that is wonderful because it gave me more opportunity to talk to the residents and i found out that Charles used to be my bread guy when i managed a convenience store and we have a Jane and a Rachel as residents and my wife and daughter are Jane and Rachel and Amy has a great sense of humor and they are all more than just residents they are people too and i am more than part of THEY i am a people too and your lack of respect and inability to effectively communicate is going to do more harm than the good you believe the lack of a few crumbs will do because you are going to lose a few workers that you see as crumbs and while due to personal circumstance beyond many people's control some may have to smile and keep their mouth shut for fear of losing a job to your power trip i don't because i am only working part time and there are a lot of jobs out there paying a crumby $9.50 an hour so keep up with the ego act and you will be short one more crumb because even though i like working here i don't have to and i have written this entire stream of consciousness in the 45 minutes it has taken me to walk the 2 miles from work to Starbucks and though it may appear to be childish sometimes childish feels good and sometimes truthful may manage to hit a target and somewhere in this 2 mile rant i have also realized that if i were a renter and the new guy was a diabolical new landlord who owned the house i just rented or if i were a below average credit score and the new guy was a creditor or if i were an immigrant and the new guy was Trump then the lesson would still be about how a pretentious narcissistic brute mistakes random circumstance and good fortune as skill and entitlement and exercises power in a heavyhanded oppressive manner reminiscent of unforgiving violent savage days gone by in which might was right and so i guess part of what feels good in this circumstance is that i can be childish and truthful and not worry about being approved or getting kicked out of my house or country so all the new guys out there better watch their step because those you call THEY are gaining in numbers every day bye
