She didn't know how to react. She has been making my life miserable for the last month.
A lot of things happened to me at the same time last month. It was one of the worst months in my life. My landlord decided to sell the house and terminated my lease. I work from home and meanwhile my cool supervisor quit and I was transferred to this Ogre whose job description seems to be to use me as a punching bag and punish me every day out of spite.
She also accused me of being lazy for bringing up to her attention when a co-worker gave me an attitude after I reached out to him for help (I have messages saved) since it was his job to take care of the issue and instead of getting his attention she turned around and was like “He can't do your job for you” no shit and who's gonna process this claim because I can't!
Then she put me on a final written because I had to put my life over my job because I put a caller on hold for an hour because I was desperately looking for rooms but all the rooms where deathtraps full of fraudulent landlords who were trying to rip me off. Out of 12 rooms I personally visited in a week only one room was good enough for me to live in. The rest were nasty and uninhabitable and more expensive than my previous room and if I have no home I have no job neither so my hand was forced anyway.
In my desperation, I sent an email to HR and CC'd the Ogre requesting a personal leave of absence so I can buy time to look for rooms and they denied it due to high call volumes because guess what? The company just happened to do a piece of shit system update that delayed system processes and multiplied our calls. Back then I used to wait maybe 5-7 minutes per call and now its been back-to-back ever since.
And what did the Ogre do? Jack shit. She didn't bat a fucking eye. Instead she started calling me to these meetings every day for dumb shit while I'm stressed out at work due to back-to-back calls while packing my shit between breaks and driving back and forth to the new place like 3 times a week to fill out complicated paperwork, renter's insurance, background check and applications.
I've never felt so fucking alone and unsupported and helpless at work in my goddamn life. And on top of that my scheming landlord I was living with was trying to find ways to weasel his way out of the $960 security deposit I paid him when I first moved in. That cheating fucker. I'm preparing to take him to small claims court next month with my other 2 ex-roommates because they never got refunded neither. He's gonna get what's coming to him!
So after getting used to being called into bullshit meetings every day for my daily meating and groveling to her (holding back my desire to punch her in the face), she then had another meeting an hour ago telling me that I received a merit increase of 1 dollar for doing a good job and my one-week PTO request was approved starting next week.
She sounded SO. SPEECHLESS on the phone meeting and she was reluctantly congratulating me for my “hard work” like “Congratulations on your……..hard work…….uh………keep up the great work……” and even I was speechless like “Uh…….thanks Ogre!”
Yeah, that's right bitch, fuck you pay me. Swwwwwwwwwwwweeet fucking karma beeeeyooootch.
Always remember: No matter how much a company tries to put you down and step on you, YOU MATTER, OK, YOU. MATTER. And you are the most important asset the company has. Don't let any dumbass supervisor question your worth within the company for a power trip.
