With today's economy, I would think that people would value their job. Communicate with their team members and provide 100% daily.
Unfortunately, I've found they don't.
I admit it, I'm a complete anal bitch about my work: how it's presented, watered, "set-up" etc etc etc. So, normally I just do everything myself.
Our blooming *plant* truck was late last week, engine blew, so I was unable to install one of my bigger accounts. I was totally cool with it *normally that would have pissed me off* even cool with someone else "watering them in". I explained to my boss that the person installing would have to bring some supplies. The tenants in the building like to steal our blooming plants and the buckets they are in, buckets are key to keeping said bloomer hydrated until the technician is at the account again.
Anyway, I was positive...almost..that said person would have done their job. I went to the account yesterday evening, my scheduled time, said person didn't bring the extra buckets, water the plants in correctly AND just threw in the new bloomers
. 5 plants were dead...4 plants were already stolen and my teammate..just didn't give a flying fuck!
This made me angry, frustrated and sad all at once. I mean COME ON, people are out of work everywhere!! Our job is the coolest cushiest job ever and well, it just pisses me off.
That was a nice vent.
