ravena_kadeToday I got a phone call.
The boss sent me an email as she she saw that I worked last night. She was polite about saying that all OT needs to be approved...and that it must go through upper management... blah blah blah. I said that I wasn't looking for OT. I needed a jump on the work because the reconciliation function takes 4 hours and I have some classes to take a long business call to get a system fixed, month end reporting and I need to teach myself 2 other functions.
She called.
Again, pussyfooting around. I said I know what you are getting at. I understand about labor board issues. I am in no way working to cause trouble...I am trying to make the best of a situation that I did not ask for as well as deal with systems limitations. It was to ease frustrations as the systems issues take place when the VPN is overload and I am not allowed to change my hours to avoid that.
She said that I should ask for help. I said I needed help with the recs. She said that she couldn't do that due to segregation of duty. I said, yes, I know that so that is why I put in an hour last night so I would have 4 hours today. It is not meant as a conspiracy or insubordination. I just want to get the job done.
She asked me not to work extra and ask for help...
****
yeah, help she cannot give.
Oh and I know labor board stuff. See she should have also asked how much time did I work yesterday and make sure I reduce my hours by that amount of time...because if she doesn't then she can still get in trouble.
I need to cool it or I am going to really get in trouble... I am on the edge of telling them off...

Date: 2020-06-14 10:34 pm (UTC)I did tell her that I know how to take breaks to keep the time proper.
She is not like this with the other people under her. I think she is trying to get me to quit...
...its just I don't have anywhere to go. I'm trapped. This isn't good for me.
She acted the same way to the bitchy coworker too, and it took her 2 years to find another job and she had a Master's Degree.
They forced the dinosaur out too... especially knowing that her job was the important one, not what I do. If they laid her off she would have gotten a package for a year and then collected unemployment for the full term and then retired.
