bastard cuntwits
I earn a pittance at the place I work, but as I am the only person in the company who knows anything about the machines we sell I am given the task of training the engineers who earn literally double what I earn. My job title is "warehouseman", I shit you not. Yet I have to train "engineers (mostly ex kitchen fitters and the like) to do complex things like use a multimeter and replace leaking pipes. Seriously, the job they have to do is so simple a deaf, blind, spastic with terminal diarrhoea could do it. I have in the past complained bitterly about the unfairness of having to train people who earn much (much) more than I do, only to be told "well it's you job, you've got to do it or find another job.". I think I shall go on a killing spree, or maybe just get pissed and vent on messageboards. Everyone please stand and give a big round of applause to greenworks solutions, a company so green they throw mercury filled bulbs in the bin because they don't know what else to do with them !!

If you're the only one who knows what you're doing
Find another job and watch them flounder

That was my thinking too
If they need you so much, then mention that you've been offered a very similar position for twice as much pay. Call their bluff.

Good luck.

If you're so fucking great
why are you doing such a shitty job?
Don't complain about it, do something to change it. If your life is as miserable as you make it out to be, then do something to make it better.

^What he said^
That really is my pet hate- people who moan and do nothing to change their lives.

Amazingly you can do some training to become a "warehouseman"

Apply Yourself!
Dear Mr DWF,

If your company is passing a constant stream of ignorant knobheads on double pay past you for comprehensive training, then they are clearly suffering from a shortage of good candidates, so will be prepared to take anyone on. So why don't you just nip round to the Human Resources office, remind them of all the skills you have (you must have some, or they would not have put you in charge of training). In a rational world they'd bite your hand off to hire someone of your experience and skillset

The trouble is big corporations aren't always logical. Or maybe you don't have a clean driving license and normal set of social skills they'd feel comfortable unleashing on a customer. Or maybe you are the only one there who can drive the effing forklift, and they are too snobby to see that as a useful skill. I'd bet on the latter. Get your application in!

But don't come back to B3ta in 3 months time whinging that you took one of those jobs on double pay, and now you have to drive up and down the country at all hours god gives, far from the coziness and ease of the good 'ol warehouse

That, or he's an insufferable prick with such an overinflated sense of his own worth and ridiculous sense of entitlement that they send the n00bs down to in order to say 'don't listen and you'll end up like that prick'.

As a PhD student
I had to train a post doc who earns 3 times what I do and gets holiday and sick pay. It's part of what I do. Now he knows what he's doing he helps me out all the time when I get stuck on stuff he knows more about. Suck it up.

People like you make me sick, sharing specialist knowledge with each other with the intent of making peoples' lives easier.

Waa waa I'm far too good for my job but haven't bothered to do anything about it because in reality I'm a bone-idle fuckwit who'd likely piss myself in a panic if I had to deviate even slightly from my current job.
Fuck off.

Just One Point
They're not bastard engineers, they're monkeys, I worked fucking hard to earn the right to be called an "Engineer", and I resent these thick bastards using that term.
