Lisawrx- it really does sound like we work in the same place! Even the worst job can be made a bit better with good staff, unfortunately I work with quite a few brainless, straight out of school, no hoping bellends. Some people have the ability, patience and heart to work with the new wave gifted individuals, sadly I can't..

From: It's like finding a cocktail sausage, when what you really wanted was a rather large saveloy.
That's pretty much the same as my place. 
They want people to be motivated and have good morale, but do very little to actually encourage this. Even worse is that they almost actively (even if not intentional) de-moralise people. It's odd, the people who take the **** and don't graft often seem to be held in higher regard than the real workers.
It seems to be a common problem that hard workers are taken advantage of or feel like they are unappreciated. But the fact remains you (and I) are just a number and easily replaced, and I am sure that will be the opinion of alot of people on this forum. Yes, we may be, but despite being in a meaningless job to some, us minions often work bloody hard for our money (called having pride) and it would be nice if some value was placed on us by employers once in a while.

Reward & Recognition was the buzz phrase when I was in customer services, but in truth it rarely happened - and what they did give with one hand, was taken by the other.On top of that as Lisa said the 'slackers' got away it, whilst the hard workers slogged their guts out for the same R&R. Companies wonder why people leave.

The thing is, they know she (and others) are a bit ****, but they don't really suffer any consequences.
I got it in the neck the other day because there was one thing I overlooked (minor) because I had been given another larger task, I shouldn't have been given, that took up most of the afternoon. However, with nothing else expected, other people seem to get away with not even doing the basics, yet alone any extras.
It affected what work I could and still can do but I'm in a much happier work place and being trained for nationally recognised qualifications and a trade. Sometimes the grass IS greener, you just have to get over the boggy marshland first
