Wanna-be Bosses

Several things have been bothering me this week. One is a pet peeve of mine and has been since I began working at age 16. Why don't people just do the job they're employed to do?

Some people are hired to do a certain job, but eventually begin to think they are boss. They can't even do their jobs because they are so busy sticking their noses into other employee's business.

Last week, I was asked by my "boss" to go somewhere for work, and when another employee saw me there, all she was concerned with was why I was there and if I'd taken care of business before I left town. I always take care of my responsibilities and do my job, and I certainly wouldn't have been there if I hadn't been told to go.

She is one of those people who wants to be the big boss and is frustrated because she doe'snt have the position she thinks she should. In her mind, she is more important than she actually is. However, this person doesn't seem to be able to answer her phone or return a call.

And while I know this about her, it still bothers me. Why? Mostly because I don't like to be questioned, especially by someone who is not my "boss." So, here is my message wanna-be boss, please stop. You are not impressing anyone and are only making enemies. Just do your job and let others do theirs. If you actually do your job then maybe you'll deserve your paycheck.

I guess I'm venting a little, but don't worry, I'll only voice one pet peeve at a time.
