Work stinks

What can't I say about my job this time? I am so tired of this member loyalty training and sales training and more training that I want to hurl. Training, training, training. That's all we do. I have to spy on my employees and coach them on how to talk to people like a robot rather than have a real conversation with the person on the other end of the line. I hate being a supervisor. Middle managment gets all the crap and none of the benefits. I don't want to stick around anymore, but I really should finish my degree first.



I am in accounting. Accounting does not have the benefits of being face to face with a member to sell them something. We are problem solvers. All the time, the answer to the question is "call accounting". I get none of the benefits of my boss, who as senior management gets a wonderful bonus of cash at the end of the year, while all employees simply get a visa gift card of $50 or $100 depending on how long they've been there.
