With your bitter attitude towards shareholders and profits you'll never make it to the top in the real world. You're always going to sit at the bottom of a very big pile.

I'm not saying your wrong but in the real world there is more than shareholders and profits. Like owning your own company.

I assume hothothot would put more effort in if it was him seeing the profits in his own pocket and not working his !!!! off to make someone else rich?

If you get high enough up in pretty much any business, the profits will soon have a direct impact upon yourself.

If they don't, but you want them to, you should consider a different company or line of work.

I also like the comment about "owning your own company". Presumably, you wouldn't do this for profit and it would be solely for enjoyment purposes? You would also employ people who by their own admittance do as little work as possible?

Get real. Stop trying to justify laziness.

Look elsewhere, there won't be idiots in every place of work.

I think there will be at least one in every company the OP decides to join.

No not every one who has their own business does it purely for enjoyment. If your taking photographs for a company who make in a day what you earn in a month and then go and set up on your own your also doing it for the profit. Otherwise you would just stay with the company. Your still doing the same thing, but getting paid more for it.

Of course i wouldn't want to employ someone with that attitude. But your assuming that me saying 'owning your own company' is going to be some multi-national corporation...when it can just as well be a one man band.

I don't actually know why your telling me to get real, i can't see anything I've written is pro-laziness?

If I'm interpreting what you've written correctly then i think you may well be right :rolleyes:

Oh Dear .. one day at work?
I'm sure the company you were/are working for was mortified when you put on your coat and legged it..
Good job you weren't in an apprenticeship where you were the first female ever to be employed. First words spoken, first day "put the kettle on love" .. 3 tough years later same words to a male apprentice who points me out and says "why can't she do it?"
Answer .. " She did , but now she is ***** qualified and you aint"

Hi, I dont work in that job anymore - it was part time whilst at uni, I got paid to study and management was happy not to have the job of watching me so was win-win situation.

As far as the concept of avoiding work, its great to have work that you are passionate about and truly feel that it makes your time worth spent (which you have forfeited for a wage).

however I have yet to find this so instead I sell my surplus labour for the highest possible rate of exchange and make sure that those hoping to profit from the efforts of my labour will get as little as possible, this is why I could never do a job like the OP - some checkout with a stopwatch timing how fast I can scan a tin of beans per minute - id slash my wrists within a week.

I can go missing for hours and nobody comes looking for me, an excuse is always prepared of course. I have no morals about it because at the end of the day my company exists for its shareholders, they wouldnt think twice about my human suffering in their pursuit of profit on their investments.

If you were clever enough, you could get a managers job and sack all the lazy people like you. When they expect to get paid and you remind them they haven't done anything, the satisfaction is great, especially when they plead to keep the job they didn't want to do.

I dont have anything against managers, these people arent evil they have to extract profit from human 'resources', thats their job, they dont produce anything of value.

I have shares myself in companies, I dont care how they get run, I just want a capital gain and yearly dividend.

I know what it's like to want to camp out in the toilets. But you can't do that - if you're really a mess, hide out for 5 minutes max. Compose yourself. Then come back out with your head held high and get on with it. I can assure you, even when you land a perfect job, there will still be bad days and you will still feel like hiding. But you have to learn how to deal with feelings like that or you'll never get anywhere.

A colleague said to me once, "Don't take it personally." I think that's great advice. If you do have a nightmare manager who has a go at you for something that isn't your fault, well, you know you've not done anything wrong. Let them rant and rave, then get on with your job and do it well. Don't take it personally. Listen to constructive criticism if you ever receive any but ignore the ranting. Once you learn to separate someone shouting at you for business reasons and someone having a go at you for something more personal, you will feel a lot calmer.

I think the OP's chances with the company are well truly blown, but there are lessons that can be taken forward.
