I am just enduring one of the most aggravating situations I've ever been through. I was so fed up with work late last year that I started looking for a new job, and found one. Basically I've been with the company for six years and while I can agree that everyone has off-days and goes through emotionally troubling bouts, I am a firm believer in the fact that if you are getting paid to do something you had better damned well be doing it. After six years of constantly registering complaints about the same issue regarding the same people, I had had enough. So, when I told my boss that I was planning on leaving, she begged me to stay saying that the main person I had an issue with was leaving this summer. Her announcement was followed shortly by her offering me that employee's job status/$$$$. The job status actually ment nothing because I was doing everything that the Lead Technician does anyway because she wasn't doing them. Low and behold the ex-lead technician gave her two weeks notice three months earlier than expected totally screwing us over and then left two days later absolutely nailing the coffin shut.
AWESOME! I get a better position and more monies quicker right?
No.... My boss offered the job to another technician who has been there longer than me, but is completely unqualified for the job. Now if you want to be polite because this girl has senority over me, you present her with "I offered the position to Meghann, what do you think?", not "Do you want the position?"... why? Because then that person accepts the position.
So not only do I not get any sort of compensation, but because none of this has been offically announced, I have to keep my mouth shut. I (along with picking up 30 extra hours over the next two weeks because the other bitch left) have to deal with being asked how to do a million things because the new head bitch doesn't know how to do jack, but she's trying to learn as quickly as she can before everything is official. And what does she do? A task as simple as printing down an e-mail has become an extraordinary acheivement.
For example this knowledge was bestowed upon me today: "Meghann, I printed the e-mails this morning, and I placed them over here so that everyone can read them, if you would like to read them now."
to which I replied: "You mean over here? Where we've been keeping memos for the past two years for everyone to read throughout the day when they have free time?"
Or one of my favourites: "Meghann, I scanned outs today. I will be getting a report shortly to show you exactly what I did."
My reply: "You mean the OOS report? The one that's filed right here, and if you look back you can see that I've been doing them for the past year?"
I also like when she admits to complete stupidity.
"Today, I completed and printed all the daily reports by myself and I didn't even have to ask Meghann how to do it!"
"I think April gave us all gift certificates for helping out with shifts because Brenda left, but I shouldn't be getting one, I didn't help with anything extra."
No, you didn't.
I'm the one working 50 hours a week for the next two weeks (during prime PMS time!).
I'm asking for the raise I would have gotten had I been given the position that I was promised, and if I don't get it, I will be giving less than two weeks notice too. Job in line or not.
