HR Block Seasonal employment and the one I'm in now...

Can't stand micromanaging and this is turning into a micromanaging sweat shop.
Doing what I used to do at Sprint, There was A TEAM of us that usually did a max of 4-5 software packages a week (2-3 was the norm). Now I'm turning out 1-3 a day and she's wondering why I can't do more.

Our lil Napoleon Mgr, doesn't understand that these things take time as I've spoiled them with quick turn-arounds in the past.

So in between compiling and working on my packages I use the Internet. Now that's being monitored and she wants a status report on Inet usage over the last month from all of her emps under her. Gave us the thumb drives to decipher. This is RIGHT AFTER she blurts out, "she doesn't want any negativity around". SHE'S THE ONE CREATING IT!

I explained to her that during compiling my scripts or whatever, I habitually search the Net. She offers another Computer on top of the 3 I already have at my desk. So now instead of surfing the Net, I find myself pacing. My co-workers wonder what the hell's wrong with my pacing and I tell them that's what I've resorted to since Big Brother is all over it.

She doesn't understand that giving me another machine would be the same as asking a writer to switch between pieces instead of giving one piece the attention it deserves. Packaging can become very confusing very quick.

Needless to say, I've been toying more and more of actually tattooing full time as I'm starting to really hate my job.
