What 'THEY' said and didn't say...!

Got to share my day.. Bear with me...
First thing this morning one of the temps hurt his back. There goes 30 minutes of my time or more......

They ran nothing but W.I.P. that had to be pulled for COA's (certificate of analysis). And I mean ALL DAY>

Then my boss wanted his project done he asked for before he went on vacation a week ago.

Then one of the friggen temps was outside in his hairnet and apron. A HUGE no no!. And my boss happened to see him and told me to wait and get his ass. So of course I did. Who says "well they didn't tell me that!" He said when I caught him. I flat out told him it's covered in the GMP's you get before coming here. I had to reiterate that statement 5 times with him before he shut up!

Then someone (they loved to snitch on one another..especially if they were caught for it themselves at one point) came and told me one of the temps had fake nails one. I had to go up to the employee entrance so I could catch her and sure enough.... fake nails with polish, glitter and jewels! She then said that someone told her it was OK. (how many times have I heard this before? Really? Can't they come up with something better than that?) I asked who? Someone at the temp agency was the reply. I said Bull. Because you GMP's cover this. Then it was a "I'm waiting till payday so I can get them off." So I flat out told her "You have to take them off right now, or you can't work." She said the same thing again. I said "Take em off now, or go home." She argued she can't take them off with ripping her nails off. Now I'm not friggen stupid. I know you can go home and soak them in fingernail polish (Which takes a bit of time) or acetone. They will come off, but arguing with me that she had to pay to have them off? Really!? So she was sent home. I'm not dealing with it.

Then I walk over to let her lead know to tell the girls mother she said she'd pick her up after work. So I go over and I glance up.. and what do I see?
A friggen temp with 2 clear insert in her eyebrow & 1 in her labret (mouth). So I send her to take them out. She comes back down and they start cracking jokes about piercing. I'm down for that. But ten I look over at her laughing and she has a friggen tongue piercing still in that I didn't see the first time. I told her to go take it out as well. She came back with "They said I could have them as long as they're plastic." I looked at her and said "No. That's even worse." "But they said I could". I asked who they were? She said the lady at temp ------- that signed her up. I asked her name. "I don't know her name." (Do they ever? NO!)

Honestly?! It's covered more than once with them during their training.....

I got nothing done. between the extra's my boss wanted and all the crap and the areas problems....

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!@!!!!!#HELWEHR*(P@#&RM

  I wanna throw a tantrum and argue that 'THEY' said I could.. I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue if I don't get my way.. (LMAO I'm waiting for that one in case you're wondering)
You know I walked in the door and Told my other half it's his turn. He can work and I'll stay home and take care of the kid. I've had enough the past two weeks.
When he asked "Why? What happened?"
I replied... "I went to work today"

Yet another asinine Candy Company Moment..



  • Yet another asinine Candy Company  Moment..
    At 2 years you're supposed to get 80 hours vacation. Last year when they had the fiscal year end, they prorated my vacation time minus a month. Since i was a month short of a year... Make sense so far?
    So according to the Employee manual I got. You got hours earned given to you at the May 1st fiscal year of the 2 year ....

    This is the whole vacation statement....
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    VACATION



    Colleague’s vacation days are earned by the number of years of service as follows:



    Continuous Years of Service Number of Vacation Hours

    After 1 year 40 Hours

    After 2 years 80 Hours

    After 10 years 120 Hours



    Vacation is earned and available to eligible colleagues on May 1st

    For colleagues with fewer than 15 years of service, vacation time not used the year it is earned is forfeited. Vacation time may only be used after the May 1st anniversary date. Colleagues are encouraged to take vacation time during our slower production periods from January to July. Please schedule your vacation as far in advance as possible. The colleague’s supervisor must approve vacation dates. Colleagues with 15 years or more of service may carry over vacation time for use in the next fiscal year (May 1 – April 30) up to 40 hours maximum. Vacation pay is not considered hours worked for overtime purposes. We encourage colleagues to take earned vacation days so that they will return to work refreshed and rested.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now if they prorated the first year on this,, Wouldn't you assume they'd at least prorate the second year and then on the third give you the full 80?
    They're saying that you won't get the 80 hours till my third year (basically since their cut off is May 1st and I was hired on June 2nd) And I won't get the 37.5 hours that they cheated me out of this year either.

    and "YUP!" In case you're wondering... I lost my fucking temper.

    My boss had this horrified look, cause we all know why I do when I'm mad at work right? I go job hunting. I'm going to have to update my resume and go job hunting.
    So he had poor Linda in HR try and calm me down and explain it to me. I flat out told them I got it already and that it was bullshit and basically stealing.
    If I took 37.5 hours from them I'd be charged and arrested. And yes, I'm writing an appeal to this shit and calling the labor commission. to see how they they can get away with it.

    And a very bad way to deal with it... I bought a bottle and having a drink. I'm actually a LOT calmer now. ....

    I want to know what kind of asshole would say :Oh you got hired before may 1st so you get your vacation. And ha ha ha you were hired after may 1st you have to wait an ENTIRE year you get what everyone else is getting". I'd like to kick him in the balls.
    I hate this fucking job! From day one. If I didn't need to pay my bills....
