Good Night Chocolate!

So I went to work in this perfectly good mood.
Maybe that was  the problem. Easily spoiled with nasty people I guess. And all was well till the production manager came in.
 He was late and I think they were happy that he wasn't there. When he showed up I guess he gave his leads an earful and from that moment on they all became mean and nasty and apparently were going take it out on me. Because I did my job.
And I may note. I shouldn't have to tell higher paid leads to clear the electrical panels of bags of garbage piled as high as I stand.... three times in one day. Then I hear "Can't you tell another lead?!!" in such a nasty tone you'd think I kicked them when I said. I called one's name across the room and pointed and that was the nasty reply. I blew the first one off. 2 1/2 hours later the exact same thing piled up in front of the electrical panel. I tell another lead. "Can't you tell another lead?!! It's not me! I didn't do it!" just as nasty as the last one. "what am I supposed to do with it?!" I got nasty back and said "I don't care piled  it up on a pallet and wrap it up."  I wasn't aware I was supposed to give them instructions on how to do their jobs either. Last I was told was not to do their job for them and just tell them. I had no problem with that.  Then what 2 hours later I'm going through the area and low and behold again in front of the electrical panel... and I grab the first lead and she say "Go tell A****!" Then she yells for her and starts telling her I was to yell at her. She just walked away. I don't blame her, but this point I was pist. But I walked away from it. Talked to the lead who walked away later about it. She told me that E******* got that way after the production manager  came in and she sets the mood for the rest of them after that. So basically She got her ass chewed and took it out on everyone else. And then they all took it out on me including her. So I'm pist and can't shake it. To the point where I cry. And they pisses me off and make me cry more because I can't control my temper.  So they get all taken in there. And I'm still mad to the point that I raise my voice. Then the lead instigator (E*******) said I yelled at her. I didn't I called across the room and pointed to the electrical panel.  She said the same thing but said I had the attitude. I said I didn't get that way until they did.  Then then as they got all nasty about me telling them about the electrical panel he said what what I was thinking. That I should not have to have told them about it. They should have dealt with it in the first place. Same thing I've said that Randy said earlier. I kinda wonder if he heard that conversation. I didn't really check. I'm still so pist I just want to rip their heads off. I am paid less than all of them  and I have to baby sit the leads. The least paid person had to tell them something that stupid and they act like a bunch a spoiled teenagers.

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....
