When I first got hired I started doing videos for my company because I thought it would help bring in business, for me specifically, but also to the store overall.
For the first few weeks, it was going fine. The staff were telling me how good I was at it, people were commenting that they'd come across the videos in public and on their FYP.
Then we got nominated for an award. Wonderful! They needed updated photos, and I, being a photographer by trade was asked by the general manager to take the pictures. I should've asked for payment, but foolishly did not.
Fast forward a few days and the general manager is demanding the pictures be sent to him ASAP. No thank you, no please, nothing but attitude.
So I decided that I wasn't going to volunteer to do anything out of my job description anymore.
A few weeks have passed and the owner asked me why I haven't been doing videos lately. I said "I haven't been feeling amazing." which my boss heard me say and commented "Well you better start feeling amazing soon."
The goddamn entitlement.
Today my boss walks up to me and tells me he NEEDS 3 videos this week and one of them HAD to be done today.
"A please and thank you would go a long way for my motivation" Boss- "Will you please (said sarcastically) do it so he (GM) gets off my ass?" "He, too, can utilize manners" Boss -"it won't go over that way."
So I smiled and said "k"
A few minutes later I'm on my way to do one of the videos and he walks by and in the most smart ass tone says "thanks again!"
Now, I did what he asked. I made the video. I uploaded it to our shared folder and texted him a screen shot of it in the folder.
Then I deleted it.
When he says it's not there I plan to act dumbfounded- "well where the heck did it go! "
Then I'll show him as I upload it again, and as he walks out I'll delete it again.
I'll play this game all day every day until I die. Fuck around and find out.
And before anyone asks, I'm already looking for another job.
