My supervisor asked me if I would be interested in doing some extra training on first shift for a task that no one on second shift knows how to do. I took him up on this offer. On my first day at first shift no one knew why I was there and had me doing regular work, on the second day the first shift supervisor says she wants me training on a bunch of other things that are not the thing I was expecting and as far as I know these are all things I could be training for on second shift and I'd much rather have my old routine back if this isn't necessary. So I go to my supervisor again and explain it and he makes it seem as though I'm being lazy or something as if I think I already know how to do this stuff and don't want training which is not what I'm saying cause yes these are new tasks I've never done before but they're not exclusive to day shift and I'd rather not be waking up at 4 am if I don't need to be. He says he's gonna email her (first shift supervisor), day three and I'm still working on these regular assignments I finally catch a glimpse of the first shift supervisor after lunch and think “oh good she's gonna tell the person training me my new assignment” nope nothing so I go to her desk to ask her about what my training plan is or if she heard from my supervisor and wow…fucking super attitude
*Oh yes hahaha yes we have a plan” “we're gonna train you on xyz” “is that OKAY with you” “it's gonna be maybe one or two weeks, Is that OKAY with you” “of course there's a plan”
Well I called out sick today, I can't stomach the rage inside me when I think about how I volunteered to wake up at that ungodly hour for nothing. I feel like I am being set up to fail, like my supervisor baited and switched me. Without a definitive end date I feel super fucked like this was just a trick to put me on first shift.
Anytime you need anything from a manager you have to nag them, but also they hate being nagged. I can already see it happening, I imagine when I ask first shift when I can go back she's just gonna say soon and is that OKAY with you in that oh so passive aggressive way she does.
