Hehehe. Yup thats basically the mind set of my old manager. Granted the restaurants I was working at were not 40 mins away (though I think maybe a handful were). The manager would always tell us about how we need to put more effort into our work and give 110% or some other bullshit like that.

It's easy to say "give 110%" when all your doing is sitting on your ass in a nice comfy chair writing up forms and going to meetings and shit while me and the rest of the cooks were doing the "real" work!

XD That was awesome. Probably good you kept your mouth shut though. They might of decided to fire a thinker.

lol, yeah, when I worked at Jo-Ann, I started working at a small "traditional" store that didn't do crap like that, but as soon as we moved to the "superstore" and our little store got shut down, I had to listen to that bull ALL THE TIME.

Oh and the contraction of "you are" is "you're" >_>;;;;;;;;;

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it. Thanks Grammer NAZI! Sorry to hear that you had to deal with that crap too.

Hahaha, well, your/you're is like a huge pet peeve of mine XZD I usually don't point out grammar errors b/c they're really not important as long as you can still understand what it's saying, but since the joke was about having logic/math skills, I figured it'd be in character to have prescriptive grammar skills ;)

And yeah, I ended up getting laid off after all those "motivational talks" anyway, along with all the other workers who had been working at the old store (some for even 10+ years), because when they opened the superstore, we basically just staffed it until they could hire a bunch of incompetent teenagers to work for minimum wage... they didn't want to pay those of us who actually made a decent living off their job, I guess O_o

Remember, teenagers need money too! For college. So they don't have to work for crappy stores like that.

But yeah, that REALLY sucks. If you get a hundred idiots together, eventually they'll do SOMETHING right.
Kinda like the monkeys writing shakespear.

Hope you found something better!
