I'd just like to share a personal related anecdote.
I work with a deformed woman.
I very much dislike her. And here's why:
Every day I work with her is the same thing. She comes in, and she asks me to do...EVERYTHING for her. Everything that's supposed to be her job, she asks me to do, and feigns like she's completely incapable of doing anything. She comes in, wears the uniform, and then asks me to do everything while she sits and screws with the change dispenser at the cash register.
She's not retarded. And she's perfectly physically capable of doing everything she asks me to do. And it's no use telling her no, because as soon as I say, "No. I'm busy doing my own job." she just waits until I'm done. There is no sense of urgency for anything that needs done for her. No, she's going to stand there and do nothing regardless of if I help or not. So I have no choice but to do her job for her, or customers WILL bitch about the filthy floors and not done coffee and filthy drink dispensing stations. She also takes sanitizing wipes en mass and wipes her hands with them. ALL THE TIME. She will LEAVE the cash register, while people are waiting to be checked out, and come back to the kitchen area to grab sanitizing wipes. To top it all off she takes 40 minute breaks and pretends not to hear when my bosses or me are yelling for her to get off break and back to the register so we can keep doing our jobs.
ALL of my bosses are well aware she does this, and wish they could fire her. But they can't, because as soon as they do, the controversy will mean bad press for the company.
So I have to deal with her lazy ass 3 nights a week.
Her deformity is in her face and arms, at least as far as I've seen. Her arms are short and her fingers infant-sized, and half of her face is a bit lower than the other half. She's also EXTREMELY fat but I don't think that's part of her deformity. I think that's just because she's a lazy cunt.
My mother told me "Well at least she's not living off disability checks and has a job."
No. Fuck that. I would RATHER she stay home. She makes my job harder and holds a job that could be given to someone who can actually work effectively.
I hear that.
I also work with two sorta deformed people... well, they aren't really deformed as such.. both are slightly deaf, one has a horrible skin condition, and lots wrong with him... but it doesn't make him incapable of work (like seriously, he works fine... WHEN he works that is)
He will come in to his shift (more on her later), sit on the line or wherever he is positioned, and whine about people working/ what he's doing. if he's on grill, he'll whinge and whinge. he cracked the shits at one other dude and just left shift... work was literally faster without him there...
But, that's not the bad thing, the bad thing is he is terrible... he's been working here for literally a year or so, he should know how to do things, but he can't... I get the feeling he is too stupid to learn.
She is the same.... but WORSE. she cannot do SHIT. she'll get on fried, put something down, and within 2 minutes... BOOM, waiting on everything. and she blames us, as if it's our job to call out product... it's actually her job to go down and check it out, make sure we have enough/ see how much she needs to put down. instead, she sits there looking dumb at the floor or at the clock.
To add to the annoying, they call up sick ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Like literally, they will call up and make horrible excuses. They have even dropped in, looking perfectly healthy, and gone 'I'm not working, bye'. example? he walked in the other day, walked into wash-up, where a guy was cleaning stuff from transition, and said 'look at this mark on my side...' then walked over to us and showed us, then showed the manager... we were like 'the fuck?' and looked at the manager, I cracked a smile to see how close he was to laughing his face off, and he accidentally laughed. so he grabbed a piece of paper, covered his mouth and put on the serious routine, avoiding eye contact with us... whaddaya know? he leaves because of some mark on his side.. it just looked like a very light bruise...
You know what's the worst thing of all? When a crew person calls up sick, and the managers know they aren't sick, after a certain amount of time, they can fire them/ not give them any shifts, but since they were hired through a disability workplace thingo, they can't be fired... if they get no shifts, maccas has a call straight away, and when the managers argue the point that they don't do shit, and call up sick, they get ignored...
To add on to that, these two DO live off the disability checks. centrelinking it away.
Loopholes in the system that shit me off.
