I had to come on here because no one I know will listen or even care besides my husband. I don't want to stress him out more than he needs to be. I am stressed about work for my sister's job too. She works for the same company back home where I am from. They are tiring to fire her. Our company is on this war path of firing anyone who has been with the company for a while. I am not in danger since I have only been with them for 3 years. My sister on the other hand has been with them for 8.
She called today freaking out because they put her on a final notice for clocking in 1-2 minutes late back from lunch. Completely crazy I know. Sadly our time clock will not allow you to clock in until you have been on lunch for a full 30 minutes. Granted other people are being written up to but she is the only one with a final. I told her I think she should fight it. Investigate the other coworkers write ups. Most coworkers don't keep their mouth shut so it easy to find out why they got written up and what degree.
She is not going to fight it. She makes good money and wants to move out on her own next january 2013. She can't do that if she loses her job. She is afraid if she fights it her manager will fire her for sure. That witch had the nerve to say to her "HR said I could fire you but I am choosing to do this". Screw you lady. Screw you.
Then I am still battlening my manager over my Saturday schedule again. He threatened to take me down to part time if I didn't give him what he wanted. I told him okay. He was speechless. Then asked me what about my finicalns. Are you freakin kidding me? You don't care about my finicans. I informed him my husband can take of me. My parents think I should have not said that. Said it gave him more of a reason to take my hours away. I talked to my husband about it and he is fine with it. I am just so sick of my parents telling to me and my sister to just lay there and let these managers treat us like shit
I am trying so hard to make a good life for myself and this is threatening to take away my hours. I can't get a 2nd car because I don't make enough money and now for sure I can't with you doing that. I can not do this anymore..............

Hey hey my little stress hard x
ReplyDeleteI know its tough but try and relax. You have to think about your health, mental and physical!
Invest in a punch bag :) lol x
I am okay now but at that moment. No I wasn't. Thanks for responding.
DeleteMy cousin was in the same boat. It sucks. He was so stressed out. He got a new job, which is a lot easier said than done, I know. But that would be my advice.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything Kate said
and punching bags are the best. I would beat the crap out of mine when I lived with my parents.
Good luck to you and your sister
Stay strong!
Congrats to your cousin. Yes the job market is tough cookies right now.

I love my parents dearly but this time I mean after working retail for pennies for over 10 years and just letting them treat me any kind of way.....I am done. I mean jesus at least pay me more and show me some respect. I could understand if I wasn't doing my job but I am. So is my sister.
