*pterodactyl screech*

I got called to come into work, I’m on vacation, to sign off on my performance review because today is the last day...

And then this woman, my boss, has the nerve to say I only gave you a meets expectations because you didn’t pick up a box I left on the floor... l get less of a raise because I didn’t pick up after her because in running the store for the past 2 weeks I missed 1 thing. Gah!

Did I ever tell you guys the story about when I worked at this marketing agency and was trying to get a client so I emailed them explaining what we did and what not and we’d love to do their marketing and they politely declined and my boss said it was because I sound like a foreigner and they probably didn’t want to work with someone who’s English wasn’t their first language?

Funny thing is, English is the only language I speak… my boss just knew I had lived in Saudi Arabia……………..

That’s the same job I got fired from because a client grabbed my ass….

Just another work tangent passing through

This is like 2 tangents in one so bare with me if you’re reading this.

I work for a store that does $2 million in sales yearly, and corporate has decided to cut out hours so badly that people are alone in the store from time.

Now I am someone that thinks no matter how small the business is no one should be alone but realistically I know it happens a lot.

But how can you allow a store that does that much business, is less than a minute from 2 highways, and sits between 2 areas that you have deemed “bad areas” ( one of which is under 5 mins) to have employees be alone? Not only is it stupid and unsafe, but it pisses customers off because no one else can help them and I lie and say “of course I’m not alone” but I’m not a fucking dumbass.

Tangent #2

My boss is an asshole to put it politely. She was planning on taken her vacation starting 12-29 but that’s against policy. So for 2 weeks I was like “did you check with the DM? Is he gonna let you start it early?” And she didn’t it wasn’t till a week ago that he saw the schedule for this week and was like you can’t go on vacation till the 1st.

So she changed the schedule and put me on New Year’s Eve (one of the 2 holidays I take off every year) but luckily for her my plans had been cancelled. So I let it go and kept New Year’s Day off and was gonna be able to spend the rest of New Year’s Eve with family then New Year’s Day running errands with my mom.

Well she tells me on the 29th that she needs someone to cover opening New Years because she has a (non-medical) appointment and that we can play it by ear as to whether or not she comes in after or takes a vacation day. Awfully fishy since most companies are closed on New Years.

So I come in today, and she start setting it up about her back hurting so much and how if she rests it tomorrow she’s sure it’ll help. Aka she’s gonna call me tomorrow morning and tell me to stay because her back hurts too much. And this is all in spite of the fact (allegedly) that she was denied her vacation and can’t start it till the 6th (by choice mind you).

Y’all ever been listening to someone talk to you and they say something in a way that just clicks something in your head and you think to yourself, clear as a bell,

“This person doesn’t value me, what I have to say, what I feel or experience, and I’ve got to get away from them in my life as soon as is reasonably possible.”

It’s bizarre but it also has never steered me wrong.

Seems I’m looking for a new job while giving maybe 7% at my current job in the meantime, brothers.

Omg people.

It’s happening.

My asshole of a boss is leaving.

“Stepping down”

BS

You were given a choice of “stepping down” or getting canned.

Thank you Jesus.

The relief I felt in that moment was so strong.

It’s only going to get better from here kids.

One of my bosses is officially crazy to think I’m going to go into work to fix something for her after 9PM. No, don’t contact me on the weekend or any other day that late at night to do anything that doesn’t involve death in my family, death of a close friend (mine), something involving going to the hospital, or a lost pet. If she had contacted me earlier in the day (9AM-3ish PM), I’d have gone down there for the fifteen minutes it would take to fix the problem.

After seeing her text, and looking at the details to make sure I was seeing the time correctly, I just said out loud “is she crazy” and then proceeded to go to bed. I’ll tell her I didn’t see the text until this morning as I was sleeping when she sent it. I fix the problem once I get to work and she’ll have to deal with it.
