That’s it. Kinda. There’s more. She also told me to just go to my car to take breaks and that it’s “it’s not a good look” because the breakroom is right by all the hourly employees’ desks and apparently one of their supervisors saw me in there a few times last week and was wondering how I’m clocking in and out so much. Apparently the fact that I’m salaried and don’t have to clock in and out and can use the breakroom at will was explained to this supervisor, but it’s still an issue for some reason. I’m really in there maybe 3-4 times a day tops for a minute at a time to get water and coffee. Like what the fuck. I’m a 39 year old man. I can’t get water or coffee now because it’s too confusing for other people? This job pays as much as I’d make working at Home Depot, but looks better on a resume so I’m kinda stuck. I hate it here. This is so demoralizing.
Bonus: she also told me the lady in the cube next to me, who does nothing but have conversations at her desk all day long, complained that I sometimes yawn loudly and that she can somehow hear my music through my headphones from one cube away AND even though it’s fine I listen to ASMR videos to focus while I work, just to be careful not to “watch them”. I love being treated like a child.
