pail Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Told him well in advance that I'd need at least half of Thursday off to clean house because insurance appraisers will be coming by later this afternoon. Took all day to get mostly everything done so I wasn't able to make it into work. My phone is bricked so I had to go get a new one last night. Unfortunately my contact info couldn't be transferred because the old phone was completely inoperable, so I wasn't able to contact him. There's no reason for him to be upset, closing up Wednesday me and another worker set everything up for Thursday's work in advance. And the work I would have been doing wasn't complicated or labor intensive. Eh, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstone Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Do you work construction now? Not meant to offend, just genuinely curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pail Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Do you work construction now? Not meant to offend, just genuinely curious. It's more along the lines of manufacturing. I think the boss just doesn't like it when I'm not there because I'm pretty much the only one willing to do all the work nobody wants to do, mostly cleaning equipment and the building itself.

Codename: Jackass Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 There's nothing better than doing the work other people don't do and getting no recognition for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pail Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Why did ur phone brick? Idk. Somehow the touchpad and display screen got smashed so I couldn't see anything and I couldn't do anything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pail Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 There's nothing better than doing the work other people don't do and getting no recognition for it. I was right, he was upset. Whatever. I have obligations outside of work, and he buggers off all the time without telling anyone where or why. And he also considers his wondering as on the clock. It wouldn't surprise me if he decided to skip out on work, spend the day at Disney and consider it paid vacation. Oh and the monumental task that he was miffed about having to do himself? Loading about 30 boxes on a pallet, wrapping it, and waiting for a truck to arrive so he could forklift it in. Not that I would have minded getting 4 hours pay for such a menial job. Too bad I had other obligations I'd made him well aware of ahead of time. He's just upset because he had to do it and didn't want to be there. God forbid a supposed manager actually, you know, manage things. Harsh words here, but I really don't think I'm too off beat. He's a spoiled person who inherited a company that his parents built up, the only aspect of the job he enjoys (or, frankly) cares about is the 2 - 3x income (compared to other workers) he pulls in solely on the random factor of parentage and nepotism he was blessed with. That's not to say he's incapable of working. He just doesn't want to. And his position affords him privileges, authority and power that he never had to work hard or strive for. Literally the worst archetype occupying a position he should be nowhere near. But, that's life I suppose. I've got no backup plan or way out. So in the meantime I'll force myself to continue my diligence and obey the wretched creature dangling my source of income above me until something else comes along.

Naraku4656 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Express Professionals Bucket, they can probably hook you up. most of the positions posted on there don't pay great. i only saw one position on there with a targeted salary of 90k. that's enough for me to actually consider that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It depends entirely on where you are looking. If Bucket wants to find a new job, it would be worth his while to at least check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobdog Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well, good for you Bucket. I have no idea why you put up with this shitheads, but at least you can take some solace in the fact those motherfuckers don't completely control you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
