bitch?
ha, not really.
its just the best thing to do.
im on good terms with the president and vice president of the company i work at.
if they like you, your chances of getting fired go down. even if you fuck up.
When I was working at discount I had gotten transferred from the store I started working at and started off like a rook all over again learning people's names and all that stuff, the store I got transferred to had 3 outside lifts. needless to say that shit sucked in winter time, (I could have been the walking mascot for michelin tires when the snow hit). But anyways I ended up getting in really good with my store manager. Telling him the truth but stuff he liked to hear. I told him I loved my job, and that the physical work made it even more desirable. In our swamped times I being the new guy even got on kids' asses to speed up and work faster. He noticed all this. He even had me ready to be promoted. The store I was working at got closed after a new store opened and we all went and worked there. Well Discount had this bright idea that the placement meant they would get more work which meant they needed more workers. We went from a 10 man crew to 21 people right before the time when seasonal layoff time kicked in. By the end of the layoff period I was one of 8 crew members still there. (not counting management and salesmen of course). I thought I was safe. I was even close to getting a "promotion" in other words I would be doing the same thing with authority behind the position. Right before that happened I got cut. I was the last person laid off. That blew big ass. I was in good with the store manager, all the salemen, I even had a couple of bay coordinators training me to be a bay coordinator even though I hadn't officially been promoted yet. The only person who didn't like me was the assistant store manager. Fucker laid me off on the store manager's day off.
But to get to my point..kissing ass, working hard, and cleanliness on the job works most of the time but you can always work harder, look cleaner, and kiss more ass. So never think you are safe in a job unless you continue to improve.
