Obsessed With Management

     Where I work one of the first things they told me is you can get into management. They told me with my experience and education I should be a canidate for management within six months. Oh boy, I thought. This will work. Move right on up. Start making money. Go right back to my overspending and wastefull lifestyle. Just get right on it. I see it happen everyday.
     Well the fact of the matter is I am still doing the worst job in the worst department in the store. No one is really trying to knock me out of my position. No one wants the chore. But by the same token. I am on my fifth manager in five years. Not much life in that is there. One had a nervous breakdown. One stit her wrists. The other one kept falling down with episodes. And two stepped down including my last assistant manager.
     I took the test under suggestion of the manager at that time. I passed the test. They didn't tell me I needed  calculator that could work in the dark. So I done the math with a pencil and paper. Still passed. I kept on trying a couple times. Always got turned down. Like asking a crossed eyed girl to dance and getting turned down. You just give up. They seem to prefer good looking people and sycophants. Kind of leaves me out.
     So at this juncture I am no longer interested in management for the company I work for. For the most part I beleive everything is driven by money. On the old A&E show Inspector Morse claimed all crimes were caused by love or money. There is no love in corporate America. So it must be money. They take these people and beat them to death for a year or so and then they are toast.
     Think about where you are in your occupation. Can you make it on what you make? The more for less mentality has the compamies eating their managers to death. I am out for that.
