If You're Gonna Screw Her Over, Use A Wrench.

I. Am. Angry. Today.
Not even angry because of something that happened to me, angry on behalf of my friend. But still, I am about ready to rip a hole in the sky with my teeth.

So here's what happened: my friend had been training for a position at work for a month, but tonight this other guy got the position just because he had a slightly higher rank than my friend. Nevermind that this guy has no training, no qualification, and can barely handle the non-position he's in right now. But since he's got a tiny bit of seniority on my friend, he gets the job.

Excuse me, but WHAT. THE. FUCK? Have my superiors lost their cohesive albeit small minds?!? Not only is this a COMMON SENSE situation here, but this leaves my friend screwed. Boy was she pissed when they gave this guy her position right in front of her face, without even the courtesy to warn her that the position wasn't going to her. But wait kids, this gets better! When my friend protested this decision (for obvious reasons) she got chewed out.

So here's what's really pissing me off:
We just can't seem to do anything right. When we do nothing but what we're told, we get lectures on how our superiors need our "valuable opinions and insight", but when we talk to our superiors about flaws we see in their oh-so-precious system, we get chewed out and punished. OK, we did what you told us to do, and now you're angry that we didn't say what you wanted to hear? Tough shit, maybe your system just sucks!!
And when we even try to defend ourselves, because we have the damn right to do so, we get called 'insubordinate'. Great, now it's insubordination to want to be fucking respected.
What really just eats my insides about all of this is the hypocrisy of it all. You are supposed to be helping us to make our shit honest and proud, but how the hell can we expect to do that when you would backstab your colleagues like it's nothing. And you say all this shittastic decision making is to better us as a whole, but really, can' you see that your actions are just fucking shit up? And then you have the balls to get angry at us for being angry at you. How does that even help? You can't cure anger by beating it into submission!
GAHHHHH.


Ugh. So that's basically how I'm feeling today.
