ravena_kadeToday we had a town all meeting with the CEO of operations. She was praying the fact that we will all be in the office, close, no rules no masks, no problems. It was like she was talking to 6 year olds. And she kept touting flexibility and saying ask your managers as we are so flexible and support the needs of each and everyone of the workers to have a home life balance. It was nauseating.
I did bite though...I am THAT person. With all the talk of flexibility and talk to your boss... I sent and email to the Boston Boss quoting the flexibility that the CEO was babbling on about. I asked if we were locked into the days that she chose for us to work remote as they don't fit the needs of my family. I have a appointments that only can happen mid week.
She asked if she could call me. Of course... there is no record of a phone call. She asked what I was getting at. I thought it was obvious. The days she picked don't help me. There is a series of appointments for my Dad that can only be Wednesdays. She said that I could work remote just for special appointments, but if I asked for every Wednesday the answer will be no. She said she was told to tell workers to think of what it was like 2 years ago and she could make me go back to that. I said true and it wouldn't matter to me. I just wouldn't do that to the team. My family needs have changed in 2 years and my responsibilities will grow as my Dad ages. She said she understood that and that upper managers feel people should just leave if they don't like it. I said I am not surprised. I'd rather the truth than the cheerleading stuff we got earlier.
Oi.
Again, I am not surprised. The appointments will be every other month so no big deal...and if it is then I will enact FLMA.
So I go back in next week. Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. I sit side to side and back to back with people... so close you can feel them fart. Yes, I can have a crude streak.
I am trying to look at it as a waking up time. The last 2 years of semi isolation has not been kind to my mental state and has given the Boston Boss more space in my stressed out head than she deserves. Perhaps I need to write her name on TP and flush her ;-)
I am trying to make a list of good things. I know I want to get out and about...and still be careful. I have a cousin that is dealing with long term health effect after getting sick in January.
I want see an exhibit at the PEM in Salem. I want to visit the MFA...I want to be as independent as I was before. I want to take an art class.
I also want my kitchen back. I think I can work in my bedroom or living room if its only 2 days a week.
