Work and Miscellaneous: Assumptions

Assumptions

By Toast514 - 29/07/2009 23:49 - Canada

Today, I was short shifted at work because one of my employees decided not to show up. Furious, I wrote her up and made predetermined judgments about her. When she came in, I went off on her for being absent and leaving me stuck. She then informed me her mom tried to commit suicide. FML

Today, I was upset over a recent break up. It showed while I was at work, and I made a customer sad just by looking blue. She complained to my manager. I got written up for being so depressed that I got a customer depressed too. FML

Today, I had to fire an employee because she constantly calls in, or is late to work. She became very emotional and I felt kind of bad, so I walked her out myself. We then got stuck in the company elevator. FML

FREAKOUT!

Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML

Today, I missed my shift at work. I had asked my girlfriend, who works at the same store, to text me my schedule. She sent me the wrong hours for today. I got suspended, and she broke up with me for being too irresponsible. FML

Let it out

By MrTandy - 16/09/2011 02:38 - United States

Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML

Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML

Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML

Today, I went into my boss's office to confront her about not consulting me before switching my shifts with someone else. I left in tears. FML

Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML

How would you have known? IMO, not your fault.

She should have called instead of leaving you hanging. Not knowing why she didn't call I say it's her fault.

So let me get this straight? You were upset because you were making more money?

Bosses like you are the definition of a hostile work environment. I know it's frustrating that an employee doesn't call when he or she is scheduled to work and doesn't show up, but to make judgments like that, write the employee up, and then chew them out when they DO show up (which this employee even bothered to show up at all) is downright wrong. You should be written up and fired, not to mention sent back to grammar school.

In this hi tech world everybody has a cell phone. You could have called her to find out why she is missing from work.

Should have asked if she had a reason before you jumped all over her.

Personally as a manager, I'd be angry with my employee too and would defiantly write her up. Even in family emergency you can take the 2 minutes to call and say you are cant come it. BUT Yelling at her like that is very unprofessional and unnecessary.
