Are there any decent companies out there?
Discussion
Hi
FYI: Pointless rant, if value your time, perhaps read something else ;-) If you work in retail and/or sales you might sympathise.
I don't know if it's just me, but for almost my entire working life, I am yet to find, or work with a company that makes me feel like they care, and that they want me to stay with them.
No matter how much I do "The boss" just doesn't care. I could sell and make £1 or £1,000,000 it wont matter to them. In fact, I pulled in around a million last year. No word of thanks, but a delightful £80 Christmas bonus. Frankly a shake of the hand and a thanks from the boss would have been preferred, it's less insulting.
I've just been pulled into a meeting where I'm told not to say words like "sir" or "madam" as its not very polite. Of course, there's been no customer complaints, I asked them to provide me with such information, but it's just the management and their opinions.
Perhaps I am wrong in thinking, if the customer is happy, that's all that matters? I mean, they still spend the money so what's the problem? We make money, have a happy customer it could scarcely be better right?
I'm trying to work out what the "problem" is; at aged 29, maybe I am old fashioned in my approach and the boss doesn't like it. Despite he's 30 years my senior. Add to that targets for turnover, NOT profit.
It's a mad house. How does one deal with a boss who just doesn't get it, think backwards, and doesn't care. The simple answer is move jobs, but so far, it's not worked, all bosses seem to be like this!?
