I JUST said I wasn’t going to complain about Walmart. So what am I about to do? Complain about Walmart.

Well, not really about ‘Walmart’ but the people I work with. Typically, I am a hard-worker. I may find time to coast a little, but my coasting is still degrees higher  in getting the job done than the average worker’s base-work.

Dude I work with does absolutely nothing but sit on the phone, walk around the store while on his phone, does a little work to keep up appearances and goes back to texting or talking on his phone.

Meanwhile, I’ve stocked out half my department leaving a bunch of empty boxes. Yesterday, I had enough and left him with those boxes to throw out.

Because I know this type of guy— the kind of guy that bitches about other people but fails to see how little he does himself — he’ll be saying shit behind my back as he does with everyone else. How can I leave all those boxes for him to do? From my point of view: easily. You don’t do shit, so I left you something to do.

Today, in hindsight, that kind of abrasive ‘i’m going to fuck you over for fucking me’ isn’t part of the plan. Now I’m in a position to complain that he doesn’t do shit after he complains I didn’t empty boxes. Back and forth and petty shit.

It’s not part of the plan to dance with petty shit. 

Not with petty small people. 

Not to become small and petty because of them. I’ll end up hurting myself because, in this environment, it’s not what they see you did that was good, but what you didn’t do. Ultimately, they won’t see that the man who created all the empty boxes in the first place was the man doing all the work without the lazy fuck.

I said I wasn’t going to complain about Walmart. Technically, I didn’t.

I’m complaining about ‘people’ and this sort of scum could have been found at ANY place of employment. Including a future law office.

Also, this is my journal to vent and plan next steps. I’ll handle this sort of thing better next time.
