Well, that’s something I guess. Not sure how that’s revenge, lol. It makes me wonder if you work at a call center or what? It would make sense given the wait times I’ve had at many of them.
Get away from those bitches.
You have the attitude they have given you.
Won’t be too long before you are in charge and can get them actually working (or leaving) again. If it were me I would go to lunch with the boss and let them know what’s going on and that you don’t find it “equitable”.
Make a record of everything that happens. This is definitely a C.Y.A. job. Especially the long lunches they take. You shouldn’t have to tak up the slack for them. Fuck them and their cluc.
how do you pick up all of their slack? If you can pick up all of their slack, it sounds like they employee more people than necessary
Walk around with them.
If they accept you then you will do less work until nothing gets done and the boss makes everyone change behavior.
Or, if the boss doesn’t notice then you can change the topic of conversation until they get annoyed and go back to work.
If they don’t accept you then they go back to their desks and work.
