Working almost 2 years at a job, working my butt off to be the absolute best I can be and to prove myself capable and worthy. I get an opportunity to get the best shift, so of course I jump at it. I got it! But then, I sort of got it. I got moved to every other Sunday. Not every Sunday. Okay, no big deal, I still sort of got it. JUST KIDDING! The new girl who hasn't worked 1 day gets it. Fair? Not in the slightest. So I work my hardest for 2 years, so someone who has not can take it? Gee thanks. Don't expect any favors from me, unfair boss lady. This changed me from being so excited and loving my job to hating just thinking about it. I know the corporate world, or really just any paying job "world" right now is a dog-eat-dog world, but in this case how can that possibly be fair, I've earned it. I know not everything in life will be fair, but denying someone something they've worked so hard for, is wrong. My second job has a completely different vibe. What's fair is fair there and everyone is treated as human, not checker pieces you can move all over.
I appreciate the fact she demoted me back to my previous position, while moving and messing with nothing else. I'm glad she sees me as disposable, because in no time I will be gone. More of me kicking myself to that curb instead of her, but I will be someone else's working treasure instead. I hope.
If life was fair, everything would have equal parts and pieces and nothing would be challenging or competitive. This has made me much clearer on how much people do not care and how I never want to be. Has this world turned not only cold, but heart-less too?
My eldest brother would always treat me and my older brother like crap, more so physically. He would always use his excuse of, "Tough", which basically meant he gets his way because he can do it. I ask, "Why?", and his reply, "Because Life isn't fair". I always gave up at that point, and never learned his answer to, "Why make it unfair?"
