Keck USC New Employee Experience

Hi y’all! Fellow Nerdscum! I just started my new job this week at Keck USC. It feels great to be back at work, although I sense a bit of jealousy from my co-workers. There are only two others: Ruben and Breezy. So far, so good. As a Chosen One, I tend to pick up on bad vibes from others at work, like they don’t truly like me but are just pretending because we’re colleagues. If they saw me at Starbucks, for instance, they wouldn’t even acknowledge me—like I’m a weirdo. Anyway, work has been fine, although my co-workers have mentioned that it gets hectic and stressful. However, I believe they say that to discourage me from coming back, possibly because they sense my capabilities and qualifications in the way I carry myself and speak. I’ve experienced this at other jobs, where I initially believed the negativity and chose not to return. I’ve learned to disregard that type of talk; the job has been quite easy. In fact, all I do is room patients. That’s it—I don’t need to do much else besides that. Comparing it to how my co-workers describe the job, it’s been child's play. I suspect they want me to quit before I outshine them. I’m only there temporarily while one of the co-workers, Destiny, is on leave because she’s having a baby. I know they can see that I am much better than Destiny, but you have to understand that this is no longer a man’s world; it’s a woman’s world now, particularly for plus-sized women and gay men. Strong, athletic men often get fired or written up and then let go. The only types of men hired now are weak beta males who struggle with basic skills. Those are the ones who become supervisors and team leads, while alpha males like me, who are nice and not arrogant, can still find themselves out of a job. I just naturally excel by being myself, just being a man. I fear I won’t be hired permanently after the 12-week contract ends. I still hold the belief that strong men are looked down upon in the workforce today. I think this contributes to why the credit rating of the United States dropped a few years ago and may continue to decline, but I digress. I also sense hostility from the people at Starbucks—it's the same vibe I get at work. It feels like everyone there would prefer to see me homeless and on drugs and a wino, and would laugh at my downfall, albeit quietly. Men like me aren’t seen as husband material either because strong men naturally take on leadership roles. I’m not trying to lead; it just comes naturally to me, God is a man after all, and it frustrates both the gay men and plus-sized women at my job, as well as the men competing with me at Starbucks. It took me about 10 or 15 years to realize that life is a game and that everyone is competing. But for what? What do you win? Nothing! Just an Ego Boost! I hate people!!! MAHALO!!
