#and when our pharmacists took vacation we'd have a substitute pharmacist come in and they almost always sucked

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

and yknow what. saying this as someone who has been in a work environment where i was ACTUALLY the only one who knew what i was doing and i was the only one capable of keeping things running, including the person who was technically in charge of me*:

even if izzy was right. even if izzy was the only one who kept ed's ship actually running. hell, even if lucius, pete, and wee john were actually slacking off when there was important things to be done!!

you do not effectively lead a team by yelling at them and telling everyone how useless they are and how much they suck. you don't get people to get off their ass and do their fucking job by screaming "BITCH" in their face. you don't!! get things done!!! if you just stand there and tell other people what to do!!!!!

*which is v much not the case w izzy and ed but i have seen this written into some fics, for some fucking reason

#sorry i know i said i wasnt arguing that izzy is bad at his job lol #i kept it off that other post bc that's not about how good he is at his job. but man... #having been in the “im surrounded by idiots” only-competent-employee situation everyone describes izzy in #i gotta say that if izzy's job is primarily managing people. he fucking SUCKS at it #txt #meta #mine #og #izzy hands #izzy critical #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd meta #anyway the work experience was retail pharmacy and let me tell you. big-name pharmacies are a fucking shitshow #the turnover was awful so we were always staffed by people who didn't know what they were doing #i was only there for two years but turnover was so fast i ended up being the lead employee somehow #so i was ACTUALLY in charge of making sure people did their jobs. unlike izzy in e5 lmao #and when our pharmacists took vacation we'd have a substitute pharmacist come in and they almost always sucked #sometimes the sub pharmacist was worse at their job than the people who were there on their first day #i was on my feet all day and i was yelled at by customers non-stop and there's literally no way to count people's prescriptions fast enough #especially when you have new employees who count the fucking pills one at a time #and yeah i had a few coworkers who were like. always on their phone or always chatting instead of doing their job #and it was VERY annoying. even when they were nice and i liked them as people i HATED working with them #somehow i found the inner strength to not be a dick to them!! crazy stuff!!!
