WTF…is respect at the job???

The other day I had a slight ‘altercation’ with my manager, notice I refer him as manager and not boss, that is a title that I will give to no man. That blows people’s heads up, makes think they are better, and they in turn will treat you like they really are the boss of you. BUT anyways…

 

To make a short story even shorter, whenever we ‘trainees’ make a mistake on one of the documents we work with he brings it to our attention by coming out of NOwhere and placing it in our face and then asking “is this yours?” once we confirm he arrogantly tosses it on the desk and says “find what’s wrong with it…”{ya had to be there}

 

He did that to me and after I fixed the problem I went directly to his office to correct him, I told him that when I wish to give him something I hand it to him, and he should pay that same respect. Though it turned into a somewhat heated debate, I demanded my respect and did not walk out of his office without it. But the next day he sent out a MASS e-mail excusing himself, claiming that he does this due to a medical problem and means no harm.  The e-mail was disingenuous at best because if he can hold it up to my face he can hand it to me. Even more, he HAD to end the letter arrogantly with [‘NUFF SAID]. When people read the note they automatically said…must be Jereme—and I say, you gyat dern right! Cause they KNOW…

 

I can not, will not, and shall not be disrespected by anybody at anytime!

 

 This may have been a small incident but I know from experience that people will try you, and the more you let them get away with, the further they are going to go. Give them a hand and they will take your arm they say, well I don’t give them a DERN thing! A relationship with your management works just like any other, in the sense that when you let people THINK you NEEEED them, they will take advantage of you.

 

Take for example your schedule, you had those dates SET on your application, 6 months later they got you working crazy hours! That’s because YOU let them get away with an hour here and an hour there, now you’re all over the dern place, struggling, and they couldn’t care less—they getting’ paid.

 

I dunno, I’m just venting
