Right now I’m fuming. 😡 There is someone who I send emails to and believe me–it wouldn’t get pass the censoring here. But I’ll keep it clean and barely civil. My boss cuts the office staff’s hours down to 24–we haven’t been that busy so that’s understandable. He’s also been complaining to me about my coworker–not happy with her at all to the point where he actually said that they didn’t need 2 people in the office and she would be the one they let go. I hear this all the time I’m there and she’s on furlow.
Well my coworker takes her vacation all in one shot this summer–something I wouldn’t do because it is a small office and things get backed up. I had vacation time left and had to take it before the end of the year or lose it. The owner’s wife even made the comment to me–go ahead–she just took off, why don’t you. Well I’ve been taking a few days each month and finally took the last of it this week.
Well my coworker keeps in touch with me via email as to how things are going in the shop–which is good. But she also informed me that the boss is letting her work tomorrow! Wait a minute–that means she gets 32 hours this week and I only get 24. I already took all my vacation days and tomorrow and Friday I’m off because those are my assigned furlow days! She said it was because of invoicing and she’s behind. Well so am I. What gets me is after all his complaining, he’s giving her an extra work day! He could call me to come in–I am available. She’s got a husband–a lazy useless one–to fall back on I don’t and I depend on this income! Now I’m mad as mad as mad can be! 😡 👿
His complaint about her is that she does too many personal things at the job–I don’t and do my job. Yet, she gets rewarded with an extra day! You see my point–I’m the one getting screwed over here because I’m not the screw up! He could call me in tomorrow or Friday but he chooses to reward the person he complains the most about. What ever happened to hard work being recognized and appreciated? I almost sent him a flaming email but decided against it. I did respond to my cowrker and told her this wasn’t fair that I’m being punished for dare taking the rest of my vacation time that was due me. Funny she hasn’t responded yet. I did send a short email to my boss asking him if he did tell her she could come in tormorrow and reminded him that Thursdays and Fridays are my furlow days and not a paid vacation and left it at that.
You ever get this—the boss complains bitterly about someone yet they are the ones rewarded with extra hours! Yep, this kiss the a**es that poo on them and put the good workers over a barrell and give them a good you know what! Yeah, I’m pissed–real, real pissed!
that happened to my sister at her video store job. it was irritating…and my sister was the one fixing other peoples mistakes…and getting blamed for them.
I dont think I am understanding this right… Are you on vacation and mad because your boss didnt call you in to work? That doesnt make sense… You’re on vacation… why would he call you in to work? Esp if you are gonna use or lose it? I would be more pissed if he DID call me in, esp if I was gonna lose out on leave days. Please fix me if I didnt understand that correctly. And its a good thing you didnt send that email, because that, from any viewpoint, would just be unprofessional. I think you would have regretted it later, esp if your boss was just being nice by not calling you off leave. 🙂 And couldnt you get fired for doing that? I’ve never had an outside job, but it seems to me that it would be grounds for termination.
I was mad yesterday and people could misunderstand what I’m saying. A lot of this is principal. I had only 3 days left of vacation–he only wants to pay us for only 24 hours a week. He vowed that no way, no way was he going to add to our hours–especially my coworker whom he is very, very displeased with. Okay, I had my 3 days paid vacation, but Thursdays and Fridays I’m involuntarily off and do not get paid for those days. My coworker has worked her 24 hours this week and he added another day to her. He could have also called me in because my vacation is over and I’m available to work those days.
The thing is this–he bitterly complains about the screw ups in this shop yet they are the ones he’s constantly accommodating–not the people who do their job! If this was a regular cut back and no job performance issues were involved then I wouldn’t be miffed about him adding a day here and there to people. I would view it more as it was needed. But for him to constantly complain to me about my coworker’s performance to the point of threatening to chop her and then add days to her is what gets me. I’ve told him I’m behind in my own work and that he may have to add a day to both of us now and then to get caught up. He told me that wouldn’t be necessary and he isn’t going to do it and here he goes and adds a day to her because she’s behind! He accuses her of being behind because she deals with personally stuff at work. There’s a crazy standard going on here–the people who are known to be screwing off get rewarded and accommodated but the people who work hard to do their job are pretty much asked to ‘understand’ the situation. Well next week I will ask for an extra day to get caught up and I’m mostly behind because she isn’t doing what she is suppose to! If he doesn’t want to accommodate me–there will be major coal in his Christmas stocking!
It’s an issue of being fair–if you are unahappy with an employee’s performance, then you don’t add days to them and tell the people who are doing their job that they can’t afford to add more hours to them. Sorry, I was totally taken back by all this–really put a ‘Bah Humbug’ in my season.

Yepper, you should see the emails I get! 😈 XD 😉
Ah, ok. I understand better now. He could have called you in on Friday because that was not vacation, just days off, instead he asked her to work and she sucks. You’re right… his actions are not speaking as loud as his words. Im sorry you didnt get the extra hours.

But admit it–don’t you agree that I’m damn funny when I really, really get fumed??!!! I mean I can say things in such ways that even a trucker would learn a few phrases!!!! I was blind sided by all this because his words and actions do not match–it all boils down to principal. At least now I know where I stand and I’m a thinkin’ I’m standing in something pretty nasty! [Please clean up after your dogs! 😆 ] I’ll calm down after the initial fire storm and then I plot my dastardly revenge! heheheheheheheheheh! 👿 It’s like a hot flash–unexpected, uncomfortable but then I move on. This situation has been going on for some time now–it’s just that he turned around and did something he vowed he’d never do and to someone whose performance he’s not happy with! WTF!–and that’s putting it mildly! XD
Hey folks–didn’t I promise you all a bumpy ride? I always deliver on my promises! That’s why I am sympathetic to others that vent and rant a bit–you need to get it out so you can think clearly! Thanks for providing a place for craziness–uh, just how long are these hot flashes supposed to last? 😳 And thanks, Laurie–at least you were thoroughly entertained! Can’t accuse me of being boring! XD
Hot flashes?They stop? 😮 when.when? 😮 :shout:
Every act matters.No matter how small💞

I don’t blame you for being pissed – what he did is totally unfair to you. And you are right – he is rewarding bad behavior. And he is being unprofessional complaining about her behavior to you. He should reprimand her and straighten her out. Unfortunately, this seems to be common behavior these days where those that work hard get dumped on and those that screw around get away with it.
I hope next week is a better week for you!
