Sorry leadership

So I was the floor manager today for the company. You have read my previous post as to how late I worked yesterday. Then I had to get up and 0245 this morning just to get to MEPS this morning. And I had to drive in the snow to get there. Hey 1sg that was very safe. Also what was safe was having one of my other reruiters be at the meps the same time I had to be there. He had no reason to be there other than my 1SG wanted him there, very very stupid. So I was on the floor all day. Up all day since 0245. Bottom line is this, our station had two guys who wanted certain jobs and there was no training available. And the Recruiting Operations Command was not working with us. (See you just cannot come into the office and get whatever job you want.) So anyway after everyone under the fucking sunshine talking to these two, they still didn't join. So I talk to them in the car, then I had to take them to another station commander he talked to them. Then they had to go and talk to the 1SG. And the whole time the roads are icing over. Anyway we I had to go back to the office and pull a job for them, they agreed to go back down on Friday. So I get back to the office, I notice all the recruiters are gone. Now I find out from my 1SG he sent them all home. Ok that is fine, but why do I have to stay and pull jobs on these guys when all my recruiters have been released for safety considerations. I have been up since 0245, been up the whole damn time, then I have to stay at the office till about 2100 again, to pull a jobs on two people who didn't pick jobs earlier today. So now why don't we give everyone at least a little time to decompress? And why am I still at work when the roads are iced over, where is the consideration for my fucking safety? That is what I want to know. What a jackhole for a leader.

The type of toxic leadership I deal with.

So the station commanders are told today that each recruiter will make at least three appointments today. Nevermind what MAP says (Mission Accomplishment Plan). So I have 4 Regular Army Recruiters in my station. According to the conversion data it says that they should only have to make 13 appointments for the whole week for 4 recruiters. Now let me do some simple fucking math here. 4 into 13 is what 3.25 apts for the entire fucking week! So we could round that up and just say 4. And this cocksucker wants 3 apts per recruiter today! Fuck that, what a bunch of bullshit. Then after I sent out the end of day report ( the report that says how many apts each recruiter has for the day). This dude is tripping out on how all these apts better show the hell up etc etc. Now I am thinking to myself we are working our asses off, and we are making the actual mission (contracts). I was also told by this asshole he didn't care about success all he cared about was the standard being met. Well fuck me in the asshole what a crock of fucking shit. Let me explain this too. Even though we are making mission this cocksmoker doesn't fucking care? Are you serious? I tell you what let me tell my recruiters to lay down and not make any contracts then we will see how bad he cares about being successfull. I just don't get it. Then he is telling me that I am basically a piece of shit. Well excuse me for making mission you cocksucking fuckshit. I really don't understand it. Since when did all this come about? I am working me and my guys until 2130 at night and it is still not enough. We are making mission, ie, the bottom line month after fucking month and he don't care? What a fucking jackass. Then I am working until the late hours of the night and then I have to be up at the MEPS tomorrow morning at 0530? MEPS is about an hour away. So that means I have to get up around 0300 in the morning just to get to MEPS on time. I even asked this guy my 1SG who is supposed to care about soldiers mind you if I could cut out a little early and he said no. You are going to stay there until at least 2100, I didn't get off the phone with in my station until 2145. Do the math will I have the rest I need to be on the road in a Govt vehicle? I don't think so. And reader, this is going on all over the country at every recruiting company in every recruiting BN. It will be denied, but it is being done. A little research will yield big results.

So here is where I stand, I am an Army Recruiter. I am a full time 79R. I am going to put things here that might piss some people off. I don't care I am tired of putting up with the shit that we as senior NCO's in the Army have to put up with. Being my luck they will hunt me down and fry my ass. So be it.
