[Work] Me: Trying to figure out why we have a nearly $10,000 discrepancy with the bank.
One of the owners:Hey, ZZ. Can you make me coffee?
I hate this job

I told him I didn't know how to work it. Which is somewhat true. It's a fancy barista one. I know how to grind the coffee. But I know he always asks for specific types of coffee. He usually wants the milk warmed in different ways.
Zigzag Stampede
And I know Jack shit about coffee.
Zigzag Stampede
He would get the same drink from me regardless of if he wanted an expresso, latte, or long white.

Aka - brown water in a cup.

Either way, why does finance strike you as the place to ask for someone to stop to make you a coffee? Make your own damn coffee like everyone else.
Zigzag Stampede
Which is what he ended up doing when I said I don't use the coffee machine

...are you his personal assistant? No? Then fuck off, bub

You don't even ask a secretary to get you a coffee these days, they have shit to do that isn't that

Seriously. And you're one of the higher ups? Or at least you should be with how much shit you do.

Begone, sexist boomer.

May that guy always get shit coffee when he orders it to go. 😒

It's because one of my coworkers is an ass kisser. She usually jumps up to offer to make them coffee, but she was on the phone
papermint tiger
...ah so they got used to that treatment
papermint tiger
Don't do that shit, let the boss make his own stupid coffee
Zigzag Stampede
Yeah this coworker is insane. She stays back an hour late each day to do extra things for the office no matter how much me and others have told her not to do that as she won't get recognition for it.
Zigzag Stampede
Even my direct manager has told her she should stop working for free. Yet.... She does.
papermint tiger
Yeah you can't kiss ass to get a better job these days, if you ever could
papermint tiger
They'll just work you to death. They don't reward extra work, they see it as free labor
papermint tiger
Even the best businesses see it that way. Working to rule is the only way to live
papermint tiger
In some respects, literally
Zigzag Stampede
Yup. Preaching to the choir. But she's also a bit of a jackass so I've stopped trying to convince her she's just wasting her time
Zigzag Stampede
Because she sucks up to the bosses. Doesn't care much if people below or same level as her needs help.
Zigzag Stampede
Although I do still like her more than the bad coworkers at my last job. At least she's got a bad personality, but also does her job and does it well.

Unlike before where is was a bad personality and slacking off
Zigzag Stampede
And maybe she'd be more willing to help out others that are below/same level as her if she wasn't so overworked and stressed because all the bosses know to ask her for favours as she never says no.
Zigzag Stampede
She is busy because of her own brown nosing
