I work in a small business. I do it because it is
temporary and pays the bills, but I am not happy here.
I have posted before about things that happen in the
workplace and need changing, and here is another one:
I was told yesterday that I should go get the shipping
and receiving clerk (who was doing his stuff, in the
back of the building) to carry a box from one room to
another instead of asking a salesman (who was right
there next to me) because the salesman's time is more
valuable. The task took less than a minute to
complete. [The only reason I didn't move the box
myself is that I have an injury at the moment]
In such a small business, which people have said is
family-like, I was just appalled at the idea that the
salesman should be so high and mighty. It really made
me feel ill. Classism and so forth....Very painful.
At one time, I heard the president/owner tell someone
that his time was more valuable than that of the woman
waiting for him to interview her. Again, how
sickening.
Any thoughts on any aspect of what I'm saying?
