Correction: most places could easily find a replacement.
This place took 4 months of desperate looking and they hired ME, lol
They're ridiculously picky and make weird hiring decisions. If I leave they're going to be seeking for 3 months and tied in knots over it.
If this fictional company was ridiculously picky, they would have never hired you in the first place. You started with no relevant skill whatsoever, and seem to have worked your way down from there. Have you considered writing a blog instead of wasting your stories on a site that doesn't pay anything? Advertising revenue can be a big help to bridge your career to whatever it is you do next.

That's what you want to believe. Aren't you an admin? Who has a shoulder injury and can't, for some reason, put together an office chair because it's too heavy?
When we post admin positions, we receive thousands of applications - and the applicants are well qualified.
I definitely agree about the weird hiring decision, though.

Your attempt make me feel bad actually made me feel awesome, because it seems my life is the material of someone else's fantasy!

LOL Good one.
RIP thousands of people's basic human dignity
Is there such a thing as a well qualified admin? Honestly a special Ed high school kid could do most of this stuff on a bad day. Your company sounds pretty anal about hiring decisons. Next time shuffle them up, grab a random resume, and you've got your next office drone maid

Your post makes no sense. I said nothing of the sort.
And my point was that yes, it is easy to be an admin and many people are qualified for the job (I actually said that). So why do you think that they would have a hard time replacing you?

You didn't answer that.
I already explained this. The person I replaced left last spring... It took the 4 months to hire me. They even told me they interviewed a ton of people and I saw the stack of resumes. They're extremely anal about who they hire (but in a stupid way). They basically want a pretty young girl with a mild personality. My boss even said to me one of the reasons he kept me so long was because I don't seem like an aggressive person, and he really liked that.
Training here is a nightmare. The boss dumps "training" on this very busy woman who knows next to nothing about the position. There's no solid training whatsoever, and they quickly get pissed off at you for not knowing how to do weird things. The turnover rate for this position is pretty high because it's ****ty. So even when they do find that perfect gilded candidate (lol) they won't end up staying long because it's an all around unpleasant place to work.
