Title, basically.
The owner of the family-owned company I work for is punishing me for having my lunch, a cup of Ramen and a fork, out on my desk on Friday.
I work for a label printing company, I have the desk job and it isn't too bad except for the managers and everyone else above that (shocker). Anyways, the owner likes to do walk throughs of the company to show potential customers how our product is made and shows them the process from start to finish.
I'm the only one who has the title I do so I'm an essential part of the process and thus I have to present the work we do in order to show said customers. They were doing a walk through and they got to my desk, did the normal thing of pulling up the presentation and setting everything up exactly how it's been the last 20-30 times and went on as usual. He seemed to grill me extra hard on some questions about the process and even asking questions he knew I didn't know, his tone shifted and he was being a complete ass about it all. He left, I shrugged it off and went on about my day. Later he then emailed my and CC'd my manager and my manager's manager and basically professionally yelled at me about how having that kind of lunch out on my desk is completely unprofessional and it gives the company a bad look, mind you that nothing was made, it was all packaged like normal, just a cup of ramen and a fork sitting next to it.
I'm assuming he was just embarrassed because it showed the custo's that we get paid in scraps and his ego got hurt by his own assumption of what they were thinking about it.
I now have to do remedial work while my current stack of orders grows bigger and bigger, essentially intentionally throwing me behind schedule as a sort of “fuck you” to me. Anyone else have a similar experience because I really didn't think it was that big of a deal, I didn't even get to plead my case lol.
