I can't fucking believe this. I mean I REALLY can't fucking believe this.
I was just passed over for a head photo promotion for a guy who doesn't own a car and is constantly unable to make it to his shifts when he is scheduled, who has consistently done stupid shit with the machines such as trying to access the admin access on our photo printer causing shit to happen to it, and who has had a pretty consistent tendency to fuck shit up in general ....
seriously this is bullshit. i've been told more than once that i am one of the most reliable employees in the store by my manager, i've made every attempt to better myself where i lacked as an employee, and i get passed over - with probably the main factor being that i'm going to be going to school in the fall and he isn't :|
Seriously this is a load of fucking bullshit the likes I have never seen - and I have NEVER once questioned my managers judgment because it always seems to be good but this no - NOPE - I have no reason to believe this was sound judgment.

Bring it up, it the very least you can do.
The thing that sucks about retail is that they tend to promote the inept, the logic being that "surely they are good at something?". Typically from my experience, the better the employee, the less likely you will be promoted. The reason is as follows: Why would a manager get rid of one of there best employees from a position they excel at?

Well actually I was promoted and I am a damn good employee, and my boss thinks I am too 
I also work for Walgreens as some people know. Here's what just pissed me off though. My boss called me in for a review today. That's fine. I rated myself as "exceeds expectations" for the category of Attendance and Tardiness, because I a). never call out, and b). am not significantly late usually. My boss put that I am "below expectations" because I a). have "very very limited availability" (UH YEAH I'M A FULL TIME STUDENT?!) and "ask for too many days off" (uh yes I have 10 vacation days no shit I'm gonna use them faggot). This seriously is irritating. Whatever.

I'm not leaving for school, I'm going to be going to school again! Community college - not going away for school. I made it pretty clear I was staying in the area since I wasn't able to afford going to EMU

So, first of all, the building I live is a total shit hole. Plumbing problems, outdated wiring, you name it. However, it's all I can afford, and my credit is totally shit, so I can't get anything better in the part of town I live in (which is where I insist upon staying, it's safe and has a good school district for my kids). Anyway, a few years ago, my wife talks her friend to move in next door so he could leave backwards, rural Iowa and meet some men (yes, he's gay). Since then, I've come to realize that he is a complete fucking idiot and completely intolerable to be around (mind you, this has nothing to do with his sexuality). Now we have this unique problem: the previous tenants in his apartment were illegals from Mexico and they brought roaches. Everyone else in the building has kept them out, but they have thrived in his unit. Unfortunately, he is a spineless cunt and will not complain to the landlord (for example, he has had a plugged drain in his bathroom sink the whole time). Anyway, long story short, his sister is apparently coming to visit, and she finds out about his roach problem. Being the complete opposite of her brother, she very assertively called the DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES! On the one hand, yes, great, now the landlord may be forced to fix up our shit hole building, but - and this is huge - what if DHHS condemns the joint? Where the fuck are my family and I going to go? We can't afford much higher rent, and like I said, my credit blows, so I'll never make it past the application process. FUCK!

Um...what? Is your boss retarded or something? Your availability and vacation requests have nothing to do with attendance and tardiness. I'm sure you know this, I just want to support your side.

I am completely aware, I fought him on it and he basically ignored me and said that he "just wanted to let me know" that I've asked for too much time off. Dude, it's about to be summer. Usually I am a full-time student doing nearly non-stop work for 5 classes a semester, most of which are 3 hours long and require a lot of attention to detailed projects. During summer, I want to fucking do things I want to do, I'm sorry if this offends you.
Fucking douche. Seriously!

Walgreens honestly is cool, it's just my boss that is a douche. For instance, two business weeks of paid vacation time after the second year there? Fucking sign me up Even though apparently they're taboo to take 
dumb as hell. On top of that though, the pharmacist I was working with Thursday night ordered the two of us a medium Meat Lovers pizza from this local place during our shift.

My new job fucking sucks and my boss is a total DICK.
- I am a dishwasher at a restaurant... all three sinks are fucking FILLED with dishes at all times, which fucking sucks, and means I have to stay practically two hours after my shift is done, two hours after everybody but the chef has left, getting it all done.
- My boss, the chef, expects me to know where everything goes after it's washed, on the first day... I JUST FUCKING STARTED, FUCK OFF.
- He told me, "just place pans, pots, kitchen tools on the oven, I'll get to it". Well A) he never fucking gets to it so I'm stuck standing there looking like a COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOT, since I can't get in his way, and B) that oven is fucking hot and I've burned my arm on it twice now.
- When I put something in the wrong place, cause you know, I JUST FUCKING STARTED AND HE NEVER TELLS ME WHERE TO PUT THINGS, he flips and gets all rude with me... "R.J., how tall am I? 5'7"? Don't put this shit on the shelf where I have a hard time reaching it." Yeah, fuck off.
- I am getting ONE SHIFT a week for at least two months, and that's all they're willing to give me for now. So I'm stuck with 5 hours a week! LOVELY. I'm gonna be ROLLING IN THE CASH NOW... thanks for the college money, assholes.
