Told my boss I wanted a diff position- was willing to take a pay cut for it - that didn't require working 80 hours a week as she did. She said no then out of the blue says I can have it.I was happy, things were going well, all of a sudden I got 2 write-ups then was fired. Still don't know why.
My old boss tried to pit one person against another. He would gossip, forgetting to whom he told what. It got better when he would start gossiping, then realize that he was talking TO the person he was talking ABOUT! I don't think he had a clue how much we all traded stories to protect ourselves.
Boss: I dont understand why everyone hates me Me: well, for one thing every time you talk to someone you do it in a condescending way. Boss: what does that word mean? Me: What word? Boss: That big one…. Me: Look it up…
I showed up to work half an hour early every day for three years. No conflicts with anyone. Boss made a smartass comment that irradiated me. Didn't say anything back to him and left it at that. Two days later, in the office, being suspended for 3 days for 'attitude' called an hour later, UR FIRED!!!
"Can I get you to...?" WTF? "CAN I GET YOU TO...?" Sure. 20 years into my (first and only) upwardly-mobile career, I don't have enough of a brain to proactively handle it myself - I need you "to get me to". Hello? How about "could/would you please?" C*nt.
Short stack... first class fuck up... My boss is a total dick... promising me raises vaca and benies... never happened... now that he realizes ill be leaving soon he tries to be nice cuz the fag stick doesnt know how to do my job...
Ex co-worker threw a bar end at me and hit my shin, left a welt for three weeks, I let it go for a day and retaliated with throwing a WET paper towel at him, hit him on the back of the head. I got fired, he didn't get reprimanded.
A guy left work one day with out telling a single person. He was gone for three days with out calling. Came back to work like nothing happened. I called my supervisor and told him I had a flat tire and would try to be at work on time I was late to work by ONE MINUTE and I got written up for it.
I have the best boss ever. I get to work from home every day. A few days before Thanksgiving she said, "You're not working Friday are you?" I said, "I thought I would." Her reply was, "Screw that! This place is going to be a ghost town. Just do whatever you want. It's not like I check up on you!"
