No Ambition

I've only worked at Target about three and a half months, but they already have me covering the supervisors breaks and lunchs on most of my shifts. When I tell most people this their reaction is, "Well then you should be promoted quickly." And then they act like I'm crazy when I tell them that I don't have any interest in being a supervisor there. My reason for that is the hours. Supervisors work 40 hours a week, some shifts starting as early as 4 am, and some ending as late as 1 or 2 am. But tonight I realized that maybe that isn't my only reason.

You see tonight, when I was covering for my supervisor while she was in a meeting, a few seasonal employees came to start their shift. I was explaining to them that we were doing what was called, "Accurate Zoning," tonight (which by the way I think is a very misleading name) and that in addition to our usual tasks we would be dusting the fixtures, aligning the racks, and making sure that all the hangers have a size tab on them, and that they are correct. Well one girl, as I'm explaining this rolled her eyes while siging loudly and saying, "OMG are you serious!" Yes I'm serious, and no this isn't high school. GROW UP!

About an hour later, while I was still covering as supervisor, the same girl was leaving a rack she had just done when I noticed that she hadn't tied any of the tie belts on the dresses. So, I politely reminded her that she is supposed to do that. Again with the eye rolling and attitude.

Then later as I was doing ad takedown, I walked by the fitting room and heard the girl working there complaining to the supervisor about how she isn't getting enough hours and it just "isn't fair" that other people are getting more hours then her. About five minutes later I overheard another girl complaining to the supervisor that the girl compaining about her hours wasn't doing her job right.

Right then it hit me. Maybe the fact that I have no desire to be promoted means I have no ambition in my life right now. Or maybe it just means that I get enough whining and attitude at home, and have no desire to go to a job where everyone whines and give me attitude there too.
