I just need to let this shit out. This has been eating at me all day and it's still rubbing me the wrong way and makes absolutely no sense to me.
Today was a pretty rough day. I just started this full time job about 3 weeks ago. I work in a warehouse and the pay is pretty good so I can't complain. I was recently moved to the warehouse from the front so it's a huge change for me and honestly a completely different world. So far for the past 3 weeks in the warehouse, I consider myself to be a pretty good employee. I'm always on time, I get my work done, and I always have a positive attitude. My boss on the other hand? Ugh.
Allright so here is the story and a bit of my rant. I had to swing by my aunts house (who is 30 minutes from me) to grab my steel towed shoes I accidently shipped to my old address (I just recently moved in with my girlfriend, and life has honestly been chaotic) my boss has been giving me crap about not having my shoes for the past 2 weeks. Understandable, but I had to wait until I got paid to buy them. I was supposed to grab my shoes last night but forgot. So I get up JUST in time to leave to my aunts in the morning and I have absolutely no time to wash my face and really brush my hair. I was determined to be on time and make it and have my shoes as well. I was in a good mood all morning and was actually pretty excited that i finally made it to work only 3 minutes late. I was pretty proud of myself!
But then, my boss walks up to me.
“You're late.” She says to me. Still optimistic, I explain the story and try to bring light into the situation and I showed her my shoes. Not seeming to care, she proceeds to tell me how ” I can't be late” and “how I should stick to my schedule.” I proceed to explain how the past 3 weeks I've been nothing but on time and don't see what the issue is, but it won't happen again.
So yeah. Not sure if I was in the wrong but it really bugs me how my boss only tends to focus on my negatives and my flaws. I barely get any feedback as well and my good attributes seemingly go unnoticed.
Then I remember I work for a corporation.
