I feel violated
Last week I drove a company truck, doing a delivery, and it had a device on the inside of the windshield. ( This isn't my department.) I volunteered because I need the money. Every time I looked at my GPS. This thing would beep and say something unintelligible. Today my manager tells me that this thing was taking a picture every time I looked at the GPS on my phone. I feel hurt and violated. I am never volunteering for that again. And if they install one of these things in my service truck. I'm resigning and looking for another job. I've realized that this company has zero regard for it's people.
walking off the job?
So at work today our manager and assistant manager and a supervisor went to a jobsite leaving one supervisor at the workshop. I am a welder. early in the day a fight broke out and when we needed a supervisor he wasn't in the workplace he went home so i went home due to workplace not being properly supervised am i in the wrong here
Don’t call me back? Nah, man.
So simple and short, so I applied to a place in my hometown, the gave the whole tour and all, but never got back to me. Two weeks ago the guy called me asking if I’m still looking for work, I haven’t called him back. Get what you give. More petty and entirely pointless, but I like it.
The Hypocrisy
For several years I've been doing a job that requires more hands on deck. I've requested help and even conveyed to my boss that my job is at minimum a two person job. I have communicated to other people the number of job responsibilities I have and they've confirmed it's ludicrous for one person to handle that many responsibilities. To top it off, I haven't been provided the necessary equipment to do my job (I work from home), and I have use my personal phone to make calls. When confronting my boss about this, she denied my requests for equipment, told me to quit complaining (she used an expletive) , and laughed when I requested help with my job. Fast forward, I've put in my two weeks notice. I found out from another manager that I was supposed to be provided with a laptop, docking station, dual monitors, printer, scanner…
Smh 🤦️ how fucking ridiculous is that?
So it's been a couple of months and I've been doing well at work. I haven't been singled out for special projects anymore and I'm happy about that. I haven't seen mean supervisor around much, he's been in other departments. The biggest news is, I got the promotion!! I'm so happy to be working with supervisors I get along with very well and I can't wait to start in my new position!! Thanks to everyone who commented on my posts and I just wanted to let you all know how things worked out. I'm looking forward to working in a position that will challenge me and help me learn new skills.
Did a performance review at my job today and was told after my hard work I was eligible for a raise. A. Pathetically. Small. 18 cent. Raise. This company makes millions month after month and they couldn’t even go for one quarter? And boomers wonder why we don’t wanna work or can’t afford anything. Such bull shit.
