Work: Unfair

Unfair

By bm128902 - 01/10/2009 04:05 - United States

Today, I had a meeting at work. My boss was going around saying that she tries to give time off to the other managers so they can spend time with their family and significant others. She looked at me and said she doesn't for me because I have no one special to spend time with. FML

Today, my boss asked me if I could work on Valentine's Day because there was no chance of me having a date. She's right. FML

Today, my boss held a meeting to talk about how we can't overlook others and no one should pick favorites. I walked out unemployed when I pointed out that she completely ignored the person who made the biggest sale in company history and constantly gave her son raises for mediocre work. FML

Today, my boss pulled me aside to chastise me for being "off task" because I was chatting with a co-worker while working on a project. She then spent a half hour chatting with the same person about what daycare she should go to for her new baby. FML

Today, my boss came to my desk and asked me how the work is going, then he just walked away in the middle of me explaining a problem in the project. When I wanted to make an appointment with his secretary, she told me he isn't going to have any time this and next week. FML

Today, I had an hour long meeting with my manager where she informed me the reason I had not been promoted is because she felt that people would not like to work for me, because I would, "make them do their job." FML

Today, after work, I was saying goodbye to my last remaining friend I worked with because she was going to be leaving for college. My manager saw me talking and made me clock back in and work, because, "If you have time to talk, you have time to work." FML

Today, while in a meeting for work, my boss expressed how much he likes everyone at our site. But before continuing, he looked at me and said, “Everyone but you, that is.” FML

Today, I got congratulations at work for being "so focused" and "not spending time on my phone." I didn't have the heart to tell my manager I don't spend time on my phone because I have no friends to talk to. FML

Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML

Today, I shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML

Yeah, it's pretty bitchy, but a question: DO you have anyone? IF not....yeah, she may be out of place to say anything, but she's not incorrect. You don't get time off for being single.

Just because she's not married/not dating anyone doesn't mean she doesn't have friends and family and would want just as much time off to spend with those people as people who are married and/or have kids. Not being married and having kids doesn't mean she doesn't have a life and doesn't deserve just as much time off work.

you don't get time off for being married, either. I'm sorry, but as someone who was responsible in her youth, nothing irritates me more than having to constantly stay late and pick up extra shifts because my coworkers have kids and are somehow exempt from any sort of workplace accountability. It is completely unreasonable to treat a person different just because he or she has a different relationship status.

No she shouldn't hook up with her boss I am sure they are not lesbians. Just because she is single doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to have time to herself and family/friends. Just because she isn't dating anyone doesn't mean she is some social outcast, who needs a life. Maybe she just has more important things going on in life, and doesn't have the time to date, especially since her boss makes her work all the time.

just cause she isn't dating anyone doesn't mean she is weird and unstable.

Sometime like this happened to me when I worked as a cashier. I didn't realize that almost all my fellow co-workers were single mothers until word got around that I was childless. Soon enough people were beginning me to switch shifts with them so they could go home early to be with their families. I always refused. Just because I have no kids or (at the time) no significant other doesn't mean I want to take on your burdens.
