My work life has become more stressful than it was before. ‚Ü‚¾AI still work at the commissary.. but I am now doing a GS-4 job. But guess what?! I have to wait a year to BECOME a GS-4. ‚Ó‚´‚¯‚ñ‚¶‚á‚Ë‚¥‚悧`IŠ¾…‚½‚Ÿ‚炽‚炵‚Ä–ˆ“ú–ˆ“úŽdŽ–‚µ‚Ä‚ñ‚̂Ɉꌾ‚Ìthank you‚àgood job‚à‰½‚à‚Ë‚¥–ˆ“ú‚ŁAyou're gonna tell me to wait a damn year?!?! —]ŒvŒ™‚É‚È‚Á‚Ä‚­‚éB‚ ‚͂͂͂́Biƒ|‰½Î‚Á‚Ä‚éEEj I guess I don't really have a choice though.. It was only this year February that they FINALLY made me GS-3 (Regular Part Time Cashier) The rest of the almost 2 years I've been working there, they kept me as a GS-1 Student Hire. ‘²‹Æ‚µ‚½Œã‚àAall they were telling me was "OOhh, don't worry Nora. We want to keep you.. so you'll get the GS-3 position soon!! soon!" ......8 months later... TADAAAAA~! ‚ցEE‚Ö‚ÁEEB‚ ‚«‚ê‚éB‚µ‚©‚àsince December of last year, I've been working as a GS-4 (Teller/Supervisor/Customer Service)..so..‰½‚Ȃ́HI and still... the least they can do is give me a full time position.. I work 39 hours a week.. ˆêŽžŠÔ‘«‚è‚È‚¢‚¾‚¯‚¶‚á‚Ë‚¥‚©Iƒu[II and I want them to respect us all who work in the Cash Cage.. and also our cashiers.  Yes, customers are number one.. yes, if it wasn't for customers, we would never have our jobs.. ‚Å‚à you first need to care about your employees before you can expect all of us to care about the store and customers...Žv‚í‚È‚¢HHIf I at least get that feeling that they care about us and know that we work so hard.. and that they are thankful, I have nothing to complain about.
