Secrets to Achieving Success at Your County Workplace 1

What is the secret to becoming a top-tier civil servant? Well, I was brushing my teeth when I figured it out. The rules are really quite obvious, but let me tell you: it's not a breeze, and you might find it compromising of your precious ethics. But if you are serious about this, it's worth it ... all 14 dollars per hour of it. OK, so here it is. Take notes. If you are smart, always act dumb. No, act dumber than what you think is dumb -- that is their average idea of dumb. It's OK. By doing so, you are not compromising your integrity. You are simply fulfilling part of your job description that they failed to really really mention. (Which part? Did you forget already? The part that says 'report to supervisor,' silly! They even had you sign it and should have received a copy. Talk to your manager.) You are expected to be a sheep. When the supervisor says, 'Baaaah,' you say, 'Baaaah,' with the same number of 'A's,' thank you. You get the idea, righ?

Bugs and Shit

Today, I got chewed out for working too much/hard. I stayed after to finish some things, and I knew I was gonna get in trouble, but being the stubborn ass and workaholic that I am, I put out anyway. It's like, the system at the DA's office is so flawed that I was hired only to apply bandaids to gaping holes. Really, if people aren't willing to stick out and do extra to make things better, everyone will end up stressed out anyway. But of course, I'm totally speaking from a "yellow personality type," "collaborator," "team-oriented" perspective -- that's just me. In this justice system, I tell ya, there is no "team," not at this workplace anyway. Everything is incoherent, scattered, but the expectations are relatively unreasonable for how shoddy the system operates. So everyone is just there to do JUST their job. Bugs the shit outta me.
