I'm like that red stapler guy in Office Space. In my last job, I wasn't authorized to do basic functions such as signing on the computer to print a check. In fact, I had clearance for most functions during my first year when I was a newbie with hardly a clue what I was doing and gradually lost clearance over time without explanation as I gained more experience. After a few years, I definitely knew more about the job than new managers that they'd hire and bring in who didn't have any experience in the job field. I reviewed their work, and they were missing items that could cause legal problems for the clients. In my present job, I went out of the way to get my permit by the specified date, then it was filed away without being processed until over a week later when I couldn't sign in for the employee time clock. After the manager processed it, I could sign in but only for that day. Every subsequent day, I'm the only employee that can't sign on without getting a manager to clear it even though they keep saying it's fixed, but even the newest employee can sign in without a hitch. And the weekend manager is skimming off my money, saying I have a shortage every night he works. Oh, and I always get treated like I'm stupid even though my SAT qualifies for Mensa. So where is my red stapler?
