Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Really? The day before a national holiday, I get a disciplinary action? So here I am at 2:30am, Thanksgiving day, not able to sleep because all I can think about is how I am not doing my job correctly.
Let me give all you bosses out there a little advice: do not give an employee a disciplinary action the day before a four-day holiday weekend...Because all your employee will think about is either how much of a jerk you are or how they can do their job better. Actually, it will probably be both - and is not worth losing sleep over.
I've been working this part-time job for three years. Now they come and tell me how I miss "the details". Of course there are other employees there that do not complete their tasks. When one of them does not do their job correctly, it directly interferes with me getting my job done. I have to do their job, before I do mine. That takes extra time and energy to do this-you see both jobs are physical. So it slows me down and tires me quicker if I have to do things this way. For political reasons, this other employee will never get disciplined. You see, his father is high up in the food chain, so when he cannot get his job done, daddy comes down and instructs the work staff to cover for him - with no extra pay for their time. AND...my boss works for him on side jobs, so he will not say anything either. So...
I already put in more time than I get paid for, now they are adding to my duties again. They are telling me to do things that I was told were NOT my responsibility three years ago. I had verbal agreements where I was told only do certain job duties if I had the time. One of them I got paid extra to do - now they are asking me to do it within the hours I'm given. These extra responsibilities were normally done by volunteers in the past. Now these "items" are too minor to give to volunteers. The volunteers have become too picky, they don't want to do them. So they get left for me to do.

Now some of you non-readers may be saying to yourself, why don't you find another job. I AM LOOKING. I have been looking for full-time employment for over six years. This is the only job that would hire me. This job has allowed me to survive. My management knows this, so this is why they know they can get away with it.
I do know that there are politics working in the background. I am pretty sure there are strings being pulled to make my job so difficult that I will quit. I an so looking forward to quitting, but not until I have another job.

I am no longer happy at my job...there are people with no business being involved in my employment pulling strings to get me fired or seeing how far they can push me.

I have put up with a lot, I will continue the course, I need a new job.

Another let down...

     Yes dear non-readers, my latest job prospect failed. I got a second interview for a position within a growing company. It really bites when you prepare for an interview, and within five minutes you realize the job you thought you were interviewing for is different from the one you were told you were interviewing for. This has not been the first time that the rules of the game changed when I get down to the final interviews.
     It is such a waste of time for all parties involved when the job description does not contain all of the desired abilities the interviewer wants. I would have not minded so much if this was the initial interview. However when you get to the second or third one, don't add requirements that you did not initially desire. Understand, I have been on the other side of the table. I know that when you get candidates that are equal, you must figure ways to separate out the chaff. Although I have done that, I have never added abilities or changed the description.
     And no, I would not want to accept a job where the employer would interview candidates for a position that differs from the posted description. That's a problem with integrity. You want your employees to have integrity, but you don't possess the same qualities?

 Anyway, I continue on with my quest.
