I work at a job where the person working can't leave until another employee relieves them. Normally its one of two managers that relief me and while sometimes they were late 5 to 10 mins which i didn't really care about. Lately its been going overboard in the span of 5 days each of them were late by span of at least 30 mins 3 times in a row, one was a full hour. The third day I got mad because I had a doctors appointment to make and the one manager who was to relief me being late really put me on the edge of missing it. So I reported to the higher manager saying that “hey this is becoming a problem and if the situation was reversed I'd get in trouble and could he please talk to them.”
Well skip ahead to next week and they were both late 30 mins back to back I don't know if it was intentional as a way to get back at me. After that they were on time but were being very passive aggressive saying things like “I just wish people would come to me if they have a problem with me and that people would be more understanding that life happens!” I just played stupid and ignored the comment and I'm letting them get it out of their system. I don't like confronting a boss directly because I've had boss's that flip out if you try to tell them anything and get on a powertrip of “I'm your boss you gotta respect me” stuff like that so i like to get a higher manager involved so that there's a witness. I hope they were get it out of the system and realize that don't get to act like the victim when they are in the wrong if the shoe was on the other foot id get a write up or even fired.
